STUHINI EXPLORATION LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 (UNAUDITED) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
==> picture [80 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Stuhini Exploration Ltd. (the “Company”), was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on July 7, 2017. The Company is focused on acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in the Province of British Columbia (“BC”) and the Yukon, Canada. Effective May 23, 2019, the Company’s shares (“Common Shares”) began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”) under the symbol “STU”.
The Company’s head office and registered office address is 1245 Broadway W., Unit 105, Vancouver, BC V6H 1G7.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared with the going concern assumption, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company’s ability to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Failure to arrange adequate financing on acceptable terms and/or achieve profitability may have an adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and prospects of the Company. These condensed interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to assets or liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going-concern. These adjustments could be material.
Risks related to the rapid expansion of the COVID-19 pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which continues to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
a) Statement of Compliance and Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The unaudited condensed interim financial statements, prepared in conformity with accounting policies consistent with IAS 34, follow the same accounting principles and methods of application as the most recent audited annual financial statements. Since the unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by the IFRS for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the reporting period ended February 29, 2020.
b) Basis of Measurement and Use of Estimates
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs except for cash flow information. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and reporting currency.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
c) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new accounting standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations have been issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company's unaudited condensed interim financial statements. The Company intends to adopt the standards when they become effective. The Company has not yet determined the impact of these standards on its financial statements but does not anticipate that the impact will be significant.
3. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

Metla Property
On July 7, 2017, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Metla Agreement”) with Barry Hanslit, a major shareholder of the Company, whereby the Company issued 883,333 Common Shares, with a fair value of $53,000, in exchange for title to the Metla Creek Claims (the “Metla Property”). The Metla Property consists of seven contiguous mineral claims, located approximately 150 kilometres (“km“) south of the town of Atlin, BC. In connection with the Metla Property, the Company was required to purchase a $42,000 reclamation bond.
On August 24, 2020, the Company entered into a mineral claims purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of 100% of its interest in the Metla Property to Brixton Metals Corporation (“Brixton”). The Purchase Agreement was subject to acceptance for filing by the Exchange which was received on October 1, 2020, and the Agreement became effective on October 10, 2020.
Based on the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell the Metla Property in exchange for 1,200,000 common shares of Brixton valued at $408,000 (based on the fair market value of the shares on October 10, 2020, being $0.34 per share) and $42,000 in cash. In lieu of the $42,000 cash portion of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to refund Brixton the $42,000 it originally paid for the Metla Reclamation Bond. The transaction resulted in a loss of $10,051.
The Company retains a 1.0% net smelter returns royalty on the Metla Property.
Ruby Creek Property
On July 30, 2019, the Company entered into an option agreement (the "Ruby Creek Option Agreement") with Global Drilling Solutions Inc. ("Global Drilling"), a private BC Company wholly owned by Mr. Hanslit, whereby the Company was granted a right to acquire a 100% interest in Global Drilling's Ruby Creek Property (the "Ruby Creek Option"). The Ruby Creek Option Agreement was conditional on first, the approval by the disinterested shareholders of the Company, which was received at the Company’s November 28, 2019, Annual General Meeting, and second acceptance for filing of the Ruby Creek Option Agreement by the Exchange, which was received on December 31, 2019. The Ruby Creek Property, as acquired, consisted of 50 contiguous mineral claims of which one is a mining lease, located within the Atlin Mining Division, approximately 20 km east of Atlin.

The Common Shares were valued at $512,500 (based on $0.41 per share, the market value of the Company’s Common Shares on December 30, 2020).

Que Property
On February 17, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement (the "Que Option Agreement"), whereby the Company was granted a right to acquire a 100% interest in the Que Property (the "Que Option") located in southcentral Yukon. The Que Option Agreement was amended and restated with the vendors on February 28, 2020 (the “Amended Que Option Agreement”). The Que Option Agreement, as amended and restated, was conditional on acceptance for filing by the Exchange, which was received on April 1, 2020. The Que Property consists of 108 mineral claims and is 2,246 hectares in size. The Company staked an additional 1,996 hectares bringing the entire claims package to approximately 4,243 hectares.
Based on the Amended Que Option Agreement, to fully exercise its Que Option, the Company was required to issue a total of 2,950,000 Common Shares and make cash payments for a total of $380,000 over a four-year term to the Que vendors. Upon receipt of assays showing no significant mineralization from a shallow early stage 2-hole drill program, the Company commenced renegotiating the Amended Que Option Agreement. The further amended and restated option agreement (the “Que Amendment 2”) was announced on October 26, 2020. The table below compares the initial Amended Que Option Agreement schedule of the Option payments and the renegotiated terms under the Que Amendment 2:

At initial recognition, the Company recorded the shares at $408,000 (based on the fair market value of the BBB Shares on October 10, 2020, being $0.34 per share).

During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $66,000 on revaluation of its securities to their fair market value.
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 3 — unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS (CONTINUED)
The Company has classified its cash as measured at fair value in the statements of financial position using level 1 inputs. Accounts payable and amounts due to related parties are classified as other liabilities, and their fair values approximate their carrying values due to the short terms to maturity.
Risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Management, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee monitor risk management activities and review the adequacy of such activities.
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is limited to the carrying amount on the statement of financial position and arises from the Company’s cash, which is held with a high-credit quality financial institution and amounts receivable from the Government of Canada. As such, the Company’s credit risk exposure is minimal.
Market risk:
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.
i.Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has minimal interest rate risk as it has no interest accumulating financial assets that may become susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.
ii.Currency risk:
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company has minimal financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as the Company does not own foreign currency denominated financial assets or liabilities.
iii.Equity price risk:
Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of equities decreases as a result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stocks. The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of its investment in marketable securities following the sale of the Metla Property in exchange for common shares of Brixton.
Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient financial resources are available to meet obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. As at November 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $1,078,940 to settle current financial liabilities of $17,633. The Company’s management believes that this cash will be sufficient to sustain the Company’s operations for the next twelve-month period.
