1. Description of Business and Nature of Operations:
Terreno Resources Corp. (the "Company" or "Terreno") is a listed issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange trading on the NEX board. It was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on April 18, 1995 and continued into the Province of British Columbia on November 21, 2007. The Company's registered office is located at Suite 1102, 44 Victoria Street, Toronto, Ontario M5C 1Y2.
The Company is focused on acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.
In January 2018, Terreno signed a definitive property option agreement with an Ontario private company under which Terreno may earn a sixty percent (60%) interest in the Las Cucharas Gold & Silver Project in Mexico. The Las Cucharas Project consists of seventeen (17) concessions covering slightly over four thousand four hundred forty-five (4,445) hectares.
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") as at and for the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were approved by the Board of Directors on November 15, 2021.
2. Significant going concern uncertainty:
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has a history of operating losses and as at September 30, 2021 has an accumulated deficit of $15,214,695 (March 31, 2021 - $15,059,537).
These risks include, but are not limited to, dependence on key individuals, and the ability to secure adequate financing to meet the minimum capital required to successfully continue as a going concern.
In the event that future financings are not successfully completed, the Company may not have sufficient cash and cash flow to meet its operating requirements. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional financings through issuing additional equity or debt instruments. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy and, in its ability to raise additional funds for the Company to continue as a going concern, there can be no assurances to that effect. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
These interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments, if required, could be material to the financial statements.
COVID-19
The Company's operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries.
2. Significant going concern uncertainty (continued):
In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company's operations and ability to finance its operations. The Company would be adversely affected by the loss of services of key personnel and restrictions on cross border trade.
3. Basis of preparation:
(a) Statement of Compliance:
These interim financial statements, including comparative balances, have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
These interim financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and they should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 and the notes to the financial statements.
(b) Basis of Presentation:
These interim financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. All monetary references expressed in these notes are references to Canadian dollar amounts ("$") except as otherwise noted.
(c) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions:
The preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Below is a list of the critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (excluding going concern which is disclosed in Note 2):
i. Determination of functional currency:
The functional currency of each of the Company's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates.
The functional currency for the Company is the Canadian Dollar.
3. Basis of preparation (continued):
ii. Deferred tax assets:
The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in which deferred tax assets can be utilized is based on the Company's future planned activities as supported by budgets that have been approved by the Board of Directors. Management also considers the tax rules of the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Should there not be a forecast of taxable income that indicates the probable utilization of a deferred tax asset or any portion thereof, the Company does not recognize the deferred tax asset.
iii. Share-based payments:
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate stockbased compensation expense and warrant values. The Black-Scholes model requires seven key inputs to determine a value for an option: risk free interest rate, exercise price, market price at date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life, forfeiture rate and expected volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates which involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of the Company's control.
4. Summary of significant accounting policies:
New standards adopted
IFRS 3, Business Combinations ("IFRS 3")
Amendments to IFRS 3, issued in October 2018, provide clarification on the definition of a business. The amendments permit a simplified assessment to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments are effective for transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The adoption of the amendments had no impact on the Company's financial statements.
IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1")
Amendments to IAS 1, issued in October 2018, provide clarification on the definition of material and how it should be applied. The amendments also align the definition of material across IFRS and other publications. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and are required to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the amendments had no impact on the Company's financial statements.
Future Accounting Pronouncements
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after April 1, 2021. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded.

11. Exploration and evaluation expenditures:
In January 2018, Terreno signed a definitive property option agreement with an Ontario private company under which Terreno may earn a sixty percent (60%) interest in the Las Cucharas Gold & Silver Project in Mexico.
The Las Cucharas Project consists of seventeen (17) concessions covering slightly over four thousand four hundred forty-five (4,445) hectares. Terreno may earn a sixty percent interest by incurring exploration expenditures and by issuing Terreno common shares as follows:
-
Two million common shares within 10 days of TSX Venture Exchange acceptance of the property acquisition (issued).
-
Two and a half million common shares on each of the first and second anniversary of the option agreement (issued).
-
Three million common shares on the third anniversary of the option agreement (issued). See note 8.
-
Five million shares on the fourth anniversary of the option agreement within five (5) days of the transfer of a sixty percent (60%) interest in the concession titles. Written notice has been provided to the private Ontario company and also to Maverix Metals Inc. that the $700,000 of cumulative exploration expenditures have been completed and requesting the transfer of the concessions from the Mexican subsidiary of Maverix Metals Inc. to the Mexican subsidiary of the Ontario private company. Maverix Metals Inc., through its Mexican subsidiary, are the owners of the concessions who have optioned them to the private Ontario company.
-
Cumulative exploration expenditures of $700,000 by October 31, 2021, including $200,000 by October 31, 2019 and $450,000 by October 31, 2020 have all been completed.
-
The property option, once earned and exercised, will make the Las Cucharas Project subject to a three percent (3%) net smelter return (NSR) royalty payable to Maverix Metals Inc. (TSX: MMX).
As at September 30, 2021, Terreno has incurred exploration and evaluation expenditures of $1,286,122. This includes 10,000,000 common shares issued under the option agreement for a consideration of $420,000.
In March 2021, the Company signed an Amendment Agreement with the Ontario private company under which the Company has the option to earn the remaining 40% interest in the Las Cucharas Project in exchange for 20,000,000 additional common shares subject to regulatory approval. The Company may earn an additional 10% interest for each of four payments of 5,000,000 shares. These four share issues of 5,000,000 common shares each are due annually after the transfer of titles under the original property option.
11. Capital management:
The Company includes the following in its capital:
| September 30,2021 | March 31,2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Share capital | 9,600,557 | 9,444,057 |
| Warrants | 2,794,427 | 2,675,427 |
| Share option reserve | 2,995,843 | 2,995,843 |
| Deficit | (15,214,695) | (15,059,537) |
| 196,132 | 55,790 |
The Company's objectives when managing capital are:
- (a) To maximize any income it may receive from available cash without significantly increasing the principal at risk by making investments in high credit quality issuers; and
- (b) To maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable levels of risk.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its underlying assets. The Company maintains or adjusts its capital level to enable it to meet its objectives by:
- realizing proceeds from the disposition of its investments;
- raising capital through equity financings;
The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a regulator. To date, the Company has not declared any cash dividends to its shareholders. The Company's management is responsible for the management of capital and reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis through the preparation of annual expenditure budgets, which are updated regularly to take into account factors such as successful financings to fund activities, changes in property holdings and related obligations and exploration activities and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
13. Financial instruments:
These assets represent a small portion of the Company's overall business. However, the use of financial instruments can expose the Company to several risks. A discussion of the Company's use of financial instruments and their associated risks is provided below:
(a) Liquidity risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. As at September 30, 2021, the Company has outstanding liabilities of $59,072 (March 31, 2021 - $118,096) and working capital of $196,132 (March 31, 2021 – $55,790). The Company's liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company's access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company.
13. Financial instruments (continued):
The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. The Company has cash of $167,404. The Company will need to obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or that any future offering of securities will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth. See note 2.
- (b) Currency risk: Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations as some amounts of its liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to hedge this exposure. The risk is not significant for the current financial reporting period.
- (c) Credit risk: Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter-party's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is minimal as it has its cash deposited with highly rated financial institutions.
14. Commitments and obligations:
The cumulative exploration expenditure requirements for the Las Cucharas Gold & Silver Project in Mexico were completed during the year ended March 31, 2021.
