EXPLORATION AND PROPERTY
La Blache Property, Quebec, Canada
On September 23, 2020, the Company purchased a 100% interest in the La Blache property in Core-Nord, Quebec from Cloudbreak Discovery Corp. and Cronin Services Ltd. (collectively known as “Vendors”) for an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares in the Company, $60,000 in cash payments and deliver of an NSR royalty of 2%, subject to the right of the Company to repurchase one-half of the NSR royalty (1%) for $2,500,000 at any time.

DAB Property, Quebec, Canada
On January 15, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement with Contigo Resources Ltd. (“Contigo”) to acquire a 100% interest in the 124 claims comprising the DAB property. Under the terms of the option agreement, the Company needs to undertake the following to exercise its option:

-
issue 10,000,000 common shares of the Company to Contigo on January 15, 2020 (issued).
Per the terms of the option agreement, Contigo retains a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on the DAB property. The Company can purchase 50% of the NSR at any time for a cash payment of $1,500,000.
Piskanja Borate Project, Serbia
On June 16, 2021, the Company entered into an option and joint venture agreement with Erin Ventures Inc. and Balkan Gold D.O.O. Temas has the right and option to earn up to a 50% undivided interest in the Piskanja Borate Project located in Serbia by incurring €10,500,000 in work expenditures on the project. As initial consideration for the option, the Company issued 250,000 common shares, valued at $103,750, and 250,000 common share purchase warrants at a price of $0.32 per share expiring August 4, 2025, valued at $75,425.
Lac Brule, Quebec, Canada
On August 19, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a 100% interest in certain mineral claims comprising the Lac Brule property. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company made a cash payment of $10,000 and issued 50,000 common shares of the Company to the seller at a value of $19,000. Per the terms of the option agreement, the seller retains a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on the Lac Brule property. The Company can purchase 50% of the NSR at any time for a cash payment of $500,000.
The carrying value of the Company’s mineral properties is as follows:
| Lac | La | Piskanja | Total | Total | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brule | Blache | DAB | Borate | |||
| Project | ||||||
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||
| January 1, 2021 | - | 5,660,000 | 500,000 | - | 6,160,000 | |

Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to its exploration and evaluation assets and, to the best of its knowledge, title to its property is in good standing.
INVESTMENTS
On March 3, 2021 the Company paid USD$100,000 ($126,260 CAD) to acquire an exclusive licensing agreement with MetaLeach Limited for use of its leaching processes. On March 26, 2021, the Company purchased a 50% interest in ORF Technologies Inc. for $600,000. ORF Technologies Inc. holds a portfolio of patents related to mineral extraction. As at September 30, 2021, the Company has a total investment of $726,260.
MetaLeach Technologies
Temas has signed an exclusive North American and European Licensing Agreement with MetaLeach Limited (www.metaleach.com) for its innovative leaching processes AmmLeach®, HyperLeach®, NickeLeach®, and MoReLeach® and others.
4
By licensing MetaLeach™ technology, Temas’ objective is to provide the lowest cost processing of base metals. This is integral to the delivery of technologies and products for now and in the future, especially ‘energy and battery’ metals. This objective will be achieved from the commercialisation of the proprietary & patented hydrometallurgical metals processing technologies (“Leaching Technologies”).
The Leaching Technologies have the potential to revolutionize the extraction processes for many base metal deposits. Reducing capital and operating costs and/or improving recoveries, and hence enhancing operating margins at the mine site. Being capable of producing metal or high value product on-site greatly enhances the mine gate economics compared to conventional concentrators. In addition, in many cases, the technologies will enable the treatment of base metals deposits which hitherto have not been possible to treat. The technologies are especially suitable for high-acidconsuming carbonate (oxide) hosted ores.
The merits of the Leaching Technologies and commercial adoption success are based on the potential for major operating and capital cost savings (expected to be a minimum 30-40% vs current technologies). This would be suitable and amenable for mines using the Leaching Technologies as the principal mineral processing method, to produce base metals or high value product, at the mine site.
In addition, these Leaching Technologies offer other significant operating and environmental benefits, including a reduction in carbon footprint when compared to conventional processing methods. The base metals of most commercial importance are essential for supplying the raw materials for the electric vehicle revolution, energy generation and storage technologies allied with ESG (Environmental and Social Governance) policies that these Leaching Technologies target are copper, nickel, cobalt and zinc.
ORF Technologies
Temas has finalized a 50% acquisition of ORF Technologies Inc (“ORF”). ORF has developed several patented, innovative leaching and solvent extraction processes. With the ORF transaction, in conjunction with MetaLeach™, Temas believes that these combined technologies will make a difference in helping to alleviate the significant environmental impact that results from present-day mineral processing.
Pursuant to the Acquisition, Temas acquired 50% of the outstanding shares of ORF in exchange for a cash payment of $600,000. On closing, the parties entered into a shareholders’ agreement governing their rights and obligations going forward, including development and dividend policies, and pre-emptive rights to existing shareholders to acquire positions of other existing shareholders. With the 50% acquisition of ORF, Temas’ objectives are to achieve and provide the lowest cost processing alternative for specialty, strategic and rare earth metals producers.
Transaction Highlights:
-
COST-EFFICIENCIES: TiO2 technology developed by ORF proved to be 144.8% more cost-efficient than conventional processes. Company anticipates comparable cost efficiencies in the production of nickel, iron, gold, rare earth metals and many more.
-
MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: The Recovery Technologies offer a significant reduction in carbon footprint when compared to conventional processing methods.
-
COMPLEMENTARY ACQUISITIONS: ORF provides a suite of technologies which will complement and work alongside the licensing agreement with Metaleach™. The ORF technology suite is also capable of supporting Temas Resources’ internal La Blache projects as well as unrelated third-party mining projects.
The Company structured the acquisition to ensure the existing principals responsible for the development of the technologies at ORF would have a significant vested interest in the ongoing commercial success of the technologies. ORF was established as a holding company for the intellectual property developed by Process Research Ortech (“PRO”), a company established in 1990 during the privatization of the Ontario Re-search Foundation’s (“ONT”) metallurgical testing facilities. ONT was created as an independent corporation by a provincial Act in 1928.

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. The 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 these 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 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 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, loan 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
10
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.
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 September 30, 2021 condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 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.
