Talisker Resources Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
==> picture [49 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Talisker Resources Ltd. (“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 were listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “TSK” and the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol “TSKFF” as at December 31, 2020. 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 consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 10, 2021.
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, 2020 annual financial statements, other than as noted below.
Amendments to IAS 16
Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment—Proceeds before Intended Use Effective on January 1, 2022, the amendments to IAS 16 require that entities are no longer able to deduct the net proceeds from selling any items from an asset’s carrying amount before it is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, the proceeds should be recognised in accordance with applicable standards and in particular applying the measurement requirements of IAS 2 for the cost of those items. The Amendments to IAS 16 may impact the Company’s development projects. The Company early adopted the amendment in January 2021. There was no impact to the current period or comparative periods presented as a result of the amendment.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
Principles of Consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 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 |
Subsidiaries - Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has control, whereby control is defined as the power to direct activities of an entity that significantly affect the entity’s returns so as to obtain benefit from its activities. Control is presumed to exist where the Company has a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights in its subsidiaries. The effects of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are considered when assessing whether control exists. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company, and are de-consolidated from the date at which control ceases.
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.
The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:
-
Exploration and Evaluation Assets’ carrying values and impairment charges - The Company assesses its cash-generating units at each reporting date to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Where an indicator of impairment exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. The determination of the recoverable amount requires the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, future capital requirements, exploration potential and future operating performance. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's-length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties.
-
Share-based payments – The Company determines costs for share-based payments using marketbased valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based non-vested share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgment used in applying valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of the stock price, expected dividend yield, future employee turnover rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviors and corporate performance. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
-
Provision for site reclamation and closure – Provisions for site reclamation and closure have been created based on management estimates. Assumptions, based on the current economic environment, have been made which management believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability as shown in Note 12. These estimates take into account any material changes to the assumptions that occur when reviewed regularly by management and are based on current regulatory requirements. Significant changes in estimates of discount rate, contamination, restoration standards and techniques will result in changes to provisions from period to period. Actual reclamation and closure costs will ultimately depend on future market prices for the costs which will reflect the market condition at the time the costs are actually incurred. The final cost of the currently recognized rehabilitation provisions may be higher or lower than currently provided for.
-
Impairment of investments in associate – The Company follows the guidance of IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to assess whether there are impairment indicators which may lead to the recognition of an impairment loss with respect to its net investment in an associate. This determination requires significant judgement in evaluating if a decline in fair value is significant or prolonged, which triggers a formal impairment test. In making this judgement, the Company’s management evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying amount, the volatility of the investment and the financial health and business outlook for the investee, including factors such as the current and expected status of the investee’s exploration projects and changes in financing cash flows.
-
COVID-19 - 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 nonessential 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 June 30, 2021, the Company is required to spend approximately $15,813,000 to be spent by December 31, 2021 in connection with its flow-through offerings (December 31, 2020 - $11,000,000). 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 extending the filing requirement for the Part XII.6 tax for the same period. The amendments to enact these proposals were enacted on June 29, 2021. The Corporation will be required to spend $15,813,000 of flow-through funds by December 31, 2022, instead of December 31, 2021.
4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The balance at June 30, 2021 consists of cash on deposit with major Canadian banks in interest bearing accounts totaling $3,146,099 (December 31, 2020 - $13,169,564) and guaranteed investment certificates with major Canadian banks of $22,298,664 (December 31, 2020 - $11,804,843) for total cash and cash equivalents of $25,444,763 (December 31, 2020 - $24,974,407).

1,097,593 $ 345,767 |
At June 30, 2021, the Company anticipates full recovery of these amounts and therefore no expected credit loss has been recorded against these receivables. The Company holds no collateral for any receivable amounts outstanding as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Promissory Note Receivable
The promissory note receivable balance relates to a loan of $400,000 to an arm's-length third party. The loan is secured by a general security agreement over the assets of the third party, and, in certain circumstances and subject to regulatory approval, is convertible to shares of the company at a price of five cents per share at the option of either party. See note 20 for additional details.
As at June 30, 2021, the balance owing amounts to $400,000 (December 31, 2020 - $nil). The Company has determined expected credit losses are expected to be minimal and no provision has been recorded.
Long Term Receivable
As at June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a receivable of $319,181 (December 31, 2020 - $319,181) related to B.C. tax mining credits. The Company expects to receive the refund pending the standard review process by CRA which is expected to take longer than 12 months.

9. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE
On December 11, 2020, The Company sold several properties located in the Toodoggone region of the Province of British Columbian to TDG Gold. The Properties being acquired by TDG Gold consist of: the Baker Project, the Shasta Mine and the Baker mill infrastructure and equipment; the Chappelle property, the Mets lease, and the Bot property. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, TDG Gold acquired the Properties by issuing to Talisker 18,973,699 TDG Gold Shares.
As a result of the issuance of 18,973,699 shares, Talisker held 33% of the issued and outstanding shares of TDG Gold as at December 11, 2020. Due to these shareholdings and the director it has appointed to the board of TDG Gold, the Company has determined that it has significant influence over TDG Gold and has accounted for its continuing investment as an Investment in Associate using the equity basis of accounting. The Company recorded a fair value of $4,553,688 for its interest in the 18,973,699 TDG Gold shares issued to Talisker on December 11, 2020 at a price of $0.24 per TDG Gold share, which resulted in a gain on sale of properties of $4,255,849 which was recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Fair value of the 18,973,699 TDG Gold shares ($4,553,688) was estimated using the specifics of the TDG Gold private placement completed on the same date Talisker received the 18,973,699 shares (“TDG Gold Private Placement”). The TDG Gold Private Placement consisted of a unit priced at $0.30 with each unit comprising of one common share and one half common share purchase warrant. The fair value calculation of $0.24 per share, included a deduction for the value of the warrants in the private placement of one half common share purchase warrant which was valued at $0.06 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: dividend yield 0%; risk free interest 0.31%; volatility 100% and an expected life of 36 months.
.
Fair value of one TDG Gold share as at June 30, 2021 was $0.44. The shares are subject to release based on the following schedule:

The present value of the obligation for Bralorne of $14,725,124 (December 31, 2020 – $14,592,950) is based on an undiscounted obligation of $54,054,730, out of which $8,537,452 is expected to be incurred in 2027 with the remaining $45,517,278 to be incurred on water treatment and quality monitoring throughout 2126. The provision was calculated using a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.58% (December 31, 2020 – 0.58%) and a weighted average inflation rate of 1% (December 31, 2020 – 1%). Reclamation activities are estimated to begin in 2027 and are expected to be incurred over a period of 100 years.

Restricted Share Units
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.

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, amounts receivable, reclamation deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and leases and loan payables approximate fair value because of the limited terms of these instruments.

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Flow-Through Shares
As at June 30, 2021, the Company is committed to spending approximately $15,813,000 to be spent by December 31, 2021 in connection with its flow-through offerings (December 31, 2020 - $11,000,000). 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 extending the filing requirement for the Part XII.6 tax for the same period. The amendments to enact these proposals were enacted on June 29, 2021. The Corporation is required to spend $15,813,000 of flow-through funds by December 31, 2022.
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.
20. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On July 26, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with New Carolin Gold Corp. (“New Carolin”), whereby the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of New Carolin pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement.
Under the terms of the transaction, each of the issued and outstanding common shares of New Carolin will be exchanged for 0.3196 of a common share of the Company. New Carolin's 22,267,039 outstanding warrants and 3,880,000 outstanding options will be adjusted so that on exercise the holders will receive Talisker common shares adjusted to reflect the same exchange ratio.
In connection with the transaction, New Carolin entered into agreements to settle approximately $500,000 of New Carolin's outstanding payables following closing of the transaction. In support of the transaction, Talisker advanced $400,000 to New Carolin as at June 30, 2021. The proceeds of the loan were used to repurchase a 5-per-cent net profit interest on the Ladner gold project and for general corporate purposes.
The transaction will be effected by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), requiring the approval of: (i) at least 66-2/3rds per cent of the votes cast by the shareholders of New Carolin, and (ii) at least 66-2/3rds per cent of the votes cast by the shareholders of New Carolin and the holders of options and warrants, voting together as a single class, at a special meeting of New Carolin security holders that has been called for September 9, 2021 to consider the transaction. In addition to New Carolin shareholder approval and approval by the court, the transaction is subject to applicable regulatory approvals including, but not limited to, Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange approval and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature.
