1. Nature of business and continuance of operations

The principal business activity of Tarku Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is the exploration for mineral resources in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Quebec. The Company's corporate office is located at Suite 602, 224 4th Ave S., Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The Company shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol TKU, and the Frankfurt stock exchange under the symbol 7TK.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operation. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The use of these principles may not be appropriate.

On February 5, 2020, the Company consolidated its share capital on a 6.5 to 1 basis. These consolidated financial statements reflect the share consolidation. All per share amounts have been adjusted retrospectively except where shares were issued subsequent to the share consolidation.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued 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. Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The Company’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020 are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the IASB, has been omitted or condensed.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements as were followed in the preparation, and described in Note 2 of the annual audited financial statements as at and for the year ended September 30, 2020. Accordingly, these condensed interim financial statements for the threemonth period ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 should be read together with the annual financial statements as at and for the year ended September 30, 2020. These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 26, 2021.

(b)

Basis of consolidation

These financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Subsidiary name Place of Incorporation Ownership Principal activity
Eureka Exploration Inc. ("Eureka") Quebec 100% Exploration

Tarku Resources Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)


2. Basis of preparation (continued)

  • (c) Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are continuously evaluated and reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include amounts of provisions, if any, for impairment of exploration and evaluation assets, reclamation and environmental obligations, deferred income taxes, share-based payments, and contingencies reported in the notes to the financial statements.

Significant areas requiring the use of management judgments include recognition of impairment of exploration and evaluation assets, reclamation and environmental obligations, deferred income taxes, share-based payments, classification of financial instruments, assessment of the going concern assumption, and disclosure of contingencies reported in the notes to the financial statements.

  • (d) Basis of Measurement

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary.

8. Capital management

The Company includes cash and cash equivalents and equity, comprising of issued common shares, contributed surplus and deficit, in the definition of capital.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the three months ended December 31, 2020. The Company was not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

9. Financial risk management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks by virtue of its activities. The overall financial risk management program focuses on preservation of capital and protecting current and future Company assets and cash flows by reducing exposure to risks posed by the uncertainties and volatilities of financial markets.

The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposures are managed are as follows:

Credit Risk - The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company does not have financial assets that are invested in asset backed commercial paper.

Liquidity Risk – The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short term business requirements.

Interest rate risk – In respect to the Company’s financial assets, the interest rate risk mainly arises from the interest rate impact on our cash and cash equivalents. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, every 1% fluctuation in interest rates up or down would have had little impact on net loss.

Commodity price risk – The value of the Company’s mineral resource properties is related to the price of various commodities and the outlook for them. Commodity prices have historically fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, industrial retail demand, central bank lending, forward sales by producers and speculators, level of worldwide production and short-term changes in supply and demand.
