WHITE METAL RESOURCES CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Six months ended October 31, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
The Company is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada and has been primarily involved in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the Provinces of Ontario and Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada as well as in Namibia, in southern Africa. The address of its corporate office and principal place of business is 684 Squier Street, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, P7B 4A8. The Company's common shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"), under the symbol WHM.
At the date of these financial statements, the Company has not been able to identify a known body of commercial grade ore on any of its properties. The ability of the Company to recover the costs it has incurred to date on these properties is dependent upon the Company being able to identify a commercial ore body, to finance its exploration and development costs and to resolve any environmental, regulatory, or other constraints which may hinder the successful development of the property. Although the Company is unaware of any defects in its title to its mineral properties, no guarantee can be made that none exist.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity's ability to continue as going concern as described in the following paragraph. Accordingly, these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company has a need for financing for working capital, and the exploration and development of its properties. The ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders, other investors and lenders, and the successful development of the Company’s interests in the mineral properties in which it holds interests. The Company has not determined whether any of the properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operations. Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative operating losses of $2,399,843 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, and at October 31, 2021 has no source of operating revenue.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies followed in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended April 30, 2021.
The policies applied in these interim condensed financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of December 6, 2021, the date the Audit Committee approved the statements. Any subsequent change to IFRS after this date could result in changes to the financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2021.
The condensed interim financial statements do not contain all disclosures required under IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements and the notes thereto for White Metal Resources for the year ended April 30, 2021.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( continued)
b) Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The presentation and functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar (“$”). These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary 1191557 Ontario Corp., as well as its 75%-owned subsidiary, Aloe Investments Two Hundred and Thirty Seven (Proprietary) Limited (“Aloe 237”) and its 95%-owned subsidiary, Aloe Investments Two Hundred and Thirty Eight (Proprietary) Limited (“Aloe 238”).
Non-controlling interests are reported based on the estimated fair values of these subsidiaries’ issuances of shares to these parties, which in both cases were property vendors, plus income and less losses attributed to the non-controlling interests. Estimates of the fair values of subsidiaries' issuances of shares to non-controlling shareholders were determined with reference to the Company’s other property acquisition costs incurred to obtain effective 95% interests.
For consolidated reporting purposes, non-controlling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries are decreased to the extent of their proportionate share of any subsequent losses reported by those entities.
All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation. Amounts reported in the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting principles adopted by the Company.
c) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and 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. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies:
The following are critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these financial statements:
-
The determination that the Company will continue as a going concern for the next year; and
-
The determination that there have been no events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amounts of exploration and evaluation assets may not be recoverable.

- If the Call Option is not exercised, the companies will enter into a Joint Venture Agreement with a 70%/25%/5% funding split or a 73.5%/26.5% funding split, depending on the actions of Altan (see below).
