CRITICAL JUDGMENTS AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Basis of Measurement
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified in accordance with measurement standards under IFRS. All dollar amounts presented are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using IFRS principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due.
Income Taxes
Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income of loss or directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of condensed interim financial statements in conformity 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 condensed interim financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the period. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events, or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include valuation of share‐based payments and recognition of deferred income tax amounts and provision for restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Set out below is a comparison, by category, of the carrying amounts and fair values of all of the Company’s financial instruments that are carried in the condensed interim financial statements and how the fair value of financial instruments is measured .
Financial and Capital Risk Management
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.
Level 1 ‐ unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 ‐ inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 ‐ inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company enters into financial instruments to finance its operations in the normal course of business.
The Company has no financial instruments carried at fair value. The Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loan payable are recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in way in which such exposure in managed is provided as follows:
Foreign exchange risk
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk s minimal.
Credit risk
The Company’s cash is largely held in large Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not have any asset‐backed commercial paper. The Company maintains cash deposits with Schedule A financial institution, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant credit losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not hold any financial liabilities with variable interest rates. The Company does maintain bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates, but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise the required funding through future equity issuances and through short‐term borrowing. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
7
Price risk
The ability of the Company to explore its mineral properties and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of precious metals. The Company monitors precious metals prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
Management is responsible for all information contained in this report. The June 30, 2020 condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the presentation of interim statements including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and include amounts based on management’s informed judgments and estimates.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
An investment in the securities of the Company is highly speculative and involves numerous and significant risks. Only investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment should undertake such investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk and uncertainties that have affected, and which in the future are reasonably expected to affect, the Company and its financial position.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this discussion, including information as to future activities, events and financial or operating performance of the Company and its projects, constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to, differ materially from estimated or anticipated activities, events or results implied or expressed in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies.
Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases. Forward-looking information may also be identified in statements where certain actions, events or results “may”, “could", "would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”.
Forward-looking information is based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and its perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such statements are made.
Many factors could cause actual activities and events and the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. These include metal prices, exploitation and exploration successes, continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions.
These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainly therein.
