Talisker Resources Ltd. (formerly Eurocontrol Technics Group Inc.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
==> picture [82 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Talisker Resources Ltd. (formerly Eurocontrol Technics Group Inc.) (“Talisker” or the “Company”) is a publicly listed company incorporated in British Columbia and continued in the Province of Ontario. The Company is engaged in exploration and evaluation of mineral properties in British Columbia. The Company’s shares wee listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “TSK” and the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol “TSKFF” as at September 30. 2020. Subsequent to period end, on October 14, 2020 the Company’s shares began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol TSK and the Company voluntarily delisted from the CSE. The head office and registered address of the Company is located at 350 Bay Street, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2S6.
The business of acquiring, exploring, and developing precious mineral deposits involves a high degree of risk. Talisker is in the exploration stage and is subject to risks and challenges similar to companies in a comparable stage. These risks include, but are not limited to, the challenges of securing adequate capital, exploration, development and operational risks inherent in the mining industry; changes in government policies and regulations; the ability to obtain the necessary environmental permitting; challenges in future profitable production or, alternatively Talisker’s ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis; as well as global economic and commodity price volatility; all of which are uncertain. There is no assurance that Talisker’s funding initiatives will continue to be successful. The underlying value of the mineral properties is dependent upon the existence and economic recovery of mineral reserves and is subject to, but not limited to, the risks and challenges identified above. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying value of mineral properties and deferred exploration.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 12, 2020.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
Basis of Measurement and Significant Accounting Policies
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2019 annual financial statements, other than as noted below.
IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”)
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the guidance in IFRS 3, that revises the definition of a business. The revised guidance introduces an optional concentration test that, if met, eliminates the need for further assessment. To be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The new guidance provides a framework to evaluate when an input and a substantive process are present. It is also no longer necessary to assess whether market participants are capable of replacing missing elements or integrating the acquired activities and assets. These amendments are effective and shall be applied to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting periods.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period.
Principles of Consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 include the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiary detailed below:
| Subsidiary | Country of Incorporation |
Economic Interest |
Basis of Accounting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. | Canada | 100% | Full consolidation |
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates.
In preparing these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements and estimates made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019 other than as stated below.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. Measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an economic slowdown. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unclear at this time and as a result it is not possible for management to estimate the severity of the impact it may have on the financial results and operations of the Company in future periods. It is management’s assumption that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern. Based on current legislation, as of September 30, 2020, the Company is required to spend approximately $14,900,000 out of which $100,000 is to be spent by December 31, 2020 and $14,800,000 to be spent by December 31, 2021 in connection with its flow-through offerings (December 31, 2019 - $3,158,000). On July 7, 2020, the Department of Finance proposed to extend the flow-through funds spend period and the look-back rule by one year, including suspending the Part XII.6 tax for the same period. Assuming the extension will be enacted, as of September 30, 2020, the Corporation is required to spend $100,000 of flow-through funds by December 31, 2021 and $14,800,000 of flow-through funds by December 31, 2022. If the extension is not finalized by the Department of Finance, the dates for the flowthrough spend requirements will be moved up by one year.
4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The balance at September 30, 2020 consists of cash on deposit with major Canadian banks in interest bearing accounts totaling $20,415,452 (December 31, 2019 - $9,602,490) and guaranteed investment certificates with major Canadian banks of $11,772,480 (December 31, 2019 - $100,000) for total cash and cash equivalents of $32,187,932 (December 31, 2019 - $9,702,490).

11. PROVISION FOR SITE RECLAMATION AND CLOSURE (continued)
The Company’s determination of the environmental rehabilitation provision arising from its activities at the Baker, Bot, and Tulox projects (acquired from Sable Resources Ltd. (“Sable”) in April 2019) at September 30, 2020 was $1,157,832 (December 31, 2019: $1,157,832). The Company has estimated that the reclamation costs are current costs and as such considers the present value of the provision at September 30, 2020 to be equal to the total future undiscounted cash flows to settle the provision for reclamation, being $1,157,832 (December 31, 2019: $1,157,832).
As part of the Company’s agreement with Sable, Sable is required to cover any environmental liability in excess of the agreed upon amount of $316,266. As at September 30, 2020, the excess over this amount is equal to $841,566. This is a contingent asset and will be recorded in future once the reclamation activities have occurred and Sable have settled their obligation.
The present value of the obligation for Bralorne of $14,448,543 (December 31, 2019 – $14,194,124) is based on an undiscounted obligation of $55,244,507, out of which $8,385,881 is expected to be incurred in 2027 with the remaining $46,858,626 to be incurred on water treatment and quality monitoring throughout 2126. The provision was calculated using a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.71% (December 31, 2019 – 1.71%) and a weighted average inflation rate of 2% (December 31, 2019 – 2%). Reclamation activities are estimated to begin in 2027 and are expected to be incurred over a period of 100 years.
The breakdown of the provision for site reclamation and closure is as per below:

The Restricted Share Unit Plan (RSU Plan) provides for the grant of restricted share units (each, an “ RSU ”) convertible into a maximum number of common shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the number of common shares then issued and outstanding, provided, however, the number of common shares reserved for issuance from treasury under the RSU Plan and pursuant to all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company shall, in the aggregate, not exceed ten percent (10%) of the number of common shares then issued and outstanding. Any common shares subject to a RSU which has been cancelled or terminated in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan without settlement will again be available under the RSU Plan. When vested, each RSU entitles the holder to receive, subject to adjustments as provided for in the RSU Plan, one common Share or payment in cash for the equivalent thereof based on the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the five trading days immediately preceding the redemption date. The terms and conditions of vesting (if applicable) of each grant are determined by the Board at the time of the grant, subject to the terms of the RSU Plan. RSU awards may, but need not, be subject to performance incentives to reward attainment of annual or longterm performance goals. Any such performance incentives or long term performance goals are subject to determination by the Board and specified in the award agreement.
The Company uses the fair value method to recognize the obligation and compensation expense associated with the RSUs. The fair value of RSUs issued is determined on the grant date based on the market price of the common shares on the grant date multiplied by the number of RSUs granted. The fair value is expensed over the vesting term. Upon redemption of the RSU the carrying amount is recorded as an increase in common share capital and a reduction in the liability.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
The Company classifies its financial instruments carried at fair value according to a three level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:
-
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly;
-
Level 3 – Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, reclamation deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and leases and loan payables approximate fair value because of the limited terms of these instruments.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Flow-Through Shares
As at September 30, 2020, the Company is committed to spending approximately $14,900,000 out of which $100,000 is to be spent by December 31, 2020 and $14,800,000 to be spent by December 31, 2021 in connection with its flow-through offerings (December 31, 2019 - $3,158,000). On July 7, 2020, the Department of Finance proposed to extend the flow-through funds spend period and the look-back rule by one year, including suspending the Part XII.6 tax for the same period. Assuming the extension will be enacted, as of September 30, 2020, the Corporation is required to spend $100,000 of flow-through funds by December 31, 2021 and $14,800,000 of flow-through funds by December 31, 2022. If the extension is not finalized by the Department of Finance, the dates for the flow-through spend requirements will be moved up by one year.
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal, tax, environmental and regulatory matters are outstanding from time to time. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events.
The Company can acquire 100% of the Golden Hornet property in exchange for payments totalling $145,000 in cash and 575,000 common shares.
19. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On October 26, 2020, the Company acquired 100% interest in 17 Crown Grant claims located in the Lillooet Mining Division. The Purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $50,000 and 400,000 common shares of Talisker.
