TOCVAN VENTURES CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 23, 2018, under the Alberta Business Corporations Act. The Company’s shares are traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “TOC”.
The Company’s head office address is Suite 820 – 1130 West Pender St., Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4A4 Canada. The registered and records office address is Suite 1150, 707 - 7th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3H6 Canada.
On September 15, 2020, the Company incorporated, under the laws of Mexico, a wholly-owned subsidiary, Burgencio S.A. de C.V. (“Burgencio”). Burgencio’s office address is: Blvd. Morelos No, 639,Col. Bachoco, C.P. 83148, Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. At November 30, 2022, the Company had not yet determined whether its properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets and related deferred exploration costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production from the exploration and evaluation assets or proceeds from the disposition of the exploration and evaluation asset.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the going concern assumption, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. At November 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,354,946 expected to incur further losses, and required additional equity financing to continue developing its business and to meet its obligations. While the Company has been successful at raising additional equity financing in the past, there is no guarantee that it will continue to do so in the future, which results in a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These adjustments could be material.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on January 30, 2023.
a) Statement of compliance and basis of presentation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee which the Canadian Accounting Standards Board has approved for incorporation into Part 1 of the CPA Canada Handbook - Accounting including IAS 34 Interim financial reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2022.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. Balance sheet items are classified as current if receipt or payment is due within twelve months. Otherwise, they are presented as non-current.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
b) Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2022.
c) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
Accounting standards, amendments to standards, or interpretations have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
d) Basis of consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Burgencio. The financial statements of Burgencio are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commenced until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiary to bring its accounting policies in-line with those used by the Company.
The functional currency of Burgencio is the Canadian dollar, which is determined to be the currency of the primary economic environment in which Burgencio operates.
The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to provisions for restoration and environmental obligations and contingent liabilities, share-based compensation, deferred taxes, and the valuation and remeasurement of the financing transaction (Note 5).
The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments applicable to the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements include:
-
1) the classification/allocation of expenses as exploration and evaluation expenditures or operating expenses;
-
2) the determination that the company will continue as a going concern for the next years;
-
3) the determination whether there have been any events or changes in circumstances that indicate the impairment of its exploration and evaluation assets; and
-
4) classification of financial instruments issued in the financing transaction as liabilities or equity (Note 5).

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Title to exploration and evaluation assets
Title to exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) asset interests involve certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral claims. The Company has investigated title to its exploration and evaluation asset and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its interests are in good standing. However, this should not be construed as a guarantee of title. The concessions may be subject to prior claims, agreements or transfers and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.

Pilar Project, Sonora, Mexico
On September 22, 2019, the Company signed an option agreement to acquire 51% of the Pilar Gold Project in the state of Sonora, Mexico (the "Pilar Project") from Colibri Resource Corp. (“Colibri”). The agreement was amended on August 31, 2021, and the updated conditions are as follows:

| TOTAL | $425,000 | $2,000,000 | 5,000,000 |
Once the Company has fulfilled the above commitments it will have earned into a 51% interest in the Pilar Project and will have six months to decide to purchase the remaining 49% interest in the property or establish a joint venture agreement with Colibri. The option to acquire the additional interest will require a $2,000,000 cash payment and granting Colibri a 2% NSR, 1% of which can be repurchased for an additional cash payment of $1,000,000.
El Picacho Project, Sonora, Mexico
On June 7, 2021, the Company signed a letter of commitment to purchase the El Picacho Project ( “El Picacho Project”) from Recursos Millrock S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Millrock”) a Mexican corporation. On signing of the letter of commitment the Company made an initial payment of $94,196 (USD$78,000).
On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into an assignment agreement with Millrock for an initial five-year option to acquire the El Picacho property from the property owners, Suarez Brothers, within the Caborca Orogenic Gold Belt in Sonora, Mexico. El Picacho consists of 12 mining concessions.
To acquire 100% interest in the El Picacho Project, the Company is required to pay Suarez Brothers USD$1,985,600 and an additional payment of USD$60,000 will be required to gain surface rights to use the Picacho Ranch. Both payments are to be paid in series of instalments ending on April 1, 2026. Millrock is to retain a 2% NSR with option for the Company to purchase back 1% for USD$1,000,000. Upon full execution of the Option Agreement and completion of all cash payments, an Annual Advance Minimum Royalty (“AAMR”) of USD$25,000 will be paid to Millrock, doubling each year until the start of production. AAMR payments will be subtracted from royalty payments on commencement of production.
5. FINANCIAL ASSET AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT AND LOSS
On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into a financing transaction with Sorbie Bornholm LP (“Sorbie”) whereby the Company agreed to issue 3,200,000 units (the “Sorbie Unit”) and 2,809 convertible notes with a face value of $1,000 per note (the “Sorbie Notes”) in exchange for 24 monthly cash payments (the “Monthly Settlements”) that were measured against a benchmark price of $1.10 per share (the “Benchmark”) with a set number of shares totaling $5,125,000 at Benchmark (the “Sorbie Transaction”) (Notes 10 and 11).
The actual Monthly Settlements are determined based on a volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for 20 trading days prior to the Monthly Settlements. If the measured share price exceeds the Benchmark for the Monthly Settlements, the Company will receive more than 100% of the expected Monthly Settlements. However, should the share price be below the Benchmark, the Company will receive less than 100% of the Monthly Settlements.
Each Sorbie Unit consists of one common share and one warrant entitling Sorbie to purchase one additional common share at a price of $1.20 until June 28, 2025. The Sorbie Notes mature on June 28, 2025, and can be converted, at discretion of the note holder, into 1,220 common shares per Sorbie Note. The Sorbie Notes pay interest at 1% per year, which is payable in common shares calculated at $0.82 per share. In connection with the Sorbie Notes, the Company issued 1,713,490 detachable warrants that entitle Sorbie to purchase one additional common share at a price of $1.30 until June 28, 2025, and an additional 1,713,490 detachable warrants that entitle Sorbie to purchase one additional common share at a price of $1.40 until June 28, 2025.

TOCVAN VENTURES CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)
To determine the fair value of the Monthly Settlements the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation.
Based on the terms of the Monthly Settlements, the Company calculated the expected future VWAP share price at each Monthly Settlement, multiplied by the number of predetermined shares per the payment schedule and then discounted using the risk‐free rate to determine the present value of the future cash flows. The following assumptions were used:
were used: |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| June 28, | August 31, | November 30, | |
| 2022 | 2022 | 2022 | |
| Number of Monthly Settlements(1) | 24 | 22 | 19 |
| Share price on the valuation date | $0.82 | $0.56 | $0.445 |
| Volatility | 90% | 85% | 80% |
| Risk free rate | 3.16% | 3.66% | 4.09% |
(1) At June 28, 2022, the first Monthly Settlement was valued based on the 454,545 shares, the following 22 Monthly Settlements were valued based on 182,806 shares, with the final Monthly Settlement valued based on 182,804 shares. At August 31, 2022, and November 30, 2022 the Monthly settlements were valued based on 182,806 shares, with the final Monthly Settlement valued based on 182,804 shares.
Based on the above parameters, the Company determined the fair value of the cash flows expected from the Sorbie Transaction at November 30, 2022, to be $1,538,050 (August 31, 2022 - $2,252,532).
To determine the allocation of the fair value of the Monthly Settlements, the Company analyzed Sorbie Units and Sorbie Notes under guidance available under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments . IFRS requires that the terms of a convertible instrument are analyzed and each component separately accounted for according to the definitions of a financial liability and equity. The Company determined that Sorbie Notes and the warrants that were issued as part of the Sorbie Notes and Sorbie Units were liability, therefore the fair values of future Monthly Settlements were allocated first to the Sorbie Notes, then to the warrants with the remaining value allocated to the shares issued as part of the Sorbie Units.
The following table summarizes the initial allocation of the future Monthly Settlements at June 28, 2022, to the liability components, and their subsequent revaluations:
| June 28, | August 31, | November 30, | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2022 | 2022 | |
| Sorbie Notes(1) | $ 2,810,124 | $ 1,924,034 | $ 1,536,935 |
| Warrants to acquire up to 1,713,490 Shares at $1.30 per Share | 261,387 | 313,343 | 231,630 |
| Warrants to acquire up to 1,713,490 Shares at $1.40 per Share | 253,729 | 297,069 | 219,602 |
| Warrants to acquire up to 3,200,000 Shares at $1.20 per Share | 503,516 | 618,635 | 457,369 |
| 3,200,000 Shares issued aspart of the Sorbie Units | – | – | – |

In addition, the Sorbie Notes cannot be redeemed prior to the maturity date, when they automatically convert to Common Shares of the Company.
The Company determined that, since the consideration receivable for Sorbie Notes cannot be readily determined, and due to convertibility of the Sorbie Notes at the discretion of Sorbie at any time after the close of the Sorbie Transaction and before their maturity date, the fair value of these notes should be recorded as current liability with any changes in the fair value being recognized as profit or loss. At November 30, 2022, the Company recognized $394,103 as gain on the revaluation of the Sorbie Notes, which resulted from the decrease of the Company’s share price from $0.56 at August 31, 2022, to $0.445 at November 30, 2022 (November 30, 2021 - $Nil).

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers its capital to consist of shareholders’ equity. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the development of its businesses and maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. This is done primarily through debt and equity financing. Future financings are dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise funds in the future. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
a. Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are all classified at amortized cost. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values because of their current nature. The financial asset, debenture payable, warrants payable and dividends payable, are all classified at FVTPL. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are revalued at each reporting date based on the three levels of a fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments:
| November 30, 2022 |
August 31, 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Financial assets at amortized cost (i) | $ 124,479 | $ 200,627 |
| Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (ii) | $ 2,138,050 | $ 2,852,532 |
| Financial liabilities at amortized cost (iii) | $ 327,929 | $ 299,481 |
| Financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit and loss(iv) | $ 3,045,536 | $ 3,753,081 |

(iv) Sorbie Notes, warrants payable issued to Sorbie as a result of Sorbie Transaction (Notes 5 and 11), and dividend payable (Note 9)
b. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, which is held with a high credit quality financial institutions, Monthly Settlements receivable as a result of Sorbie Transaction, and to a smaller extent GST receivable from the Government of Canada.
c. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined above.
15
TOCVAN VENTURES CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)
The Company monitors its ability to meet its short-term exploration and administrative expenditures by raising additional funds through share issuances when required. All of the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.
d. Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company has financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, does own foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities.
e. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that arises from fluctuating interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
f. Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors the commodity prices of precious metals and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of its investment in common shares of Cascade Copper following sale of the Rogers Creek Property in exchange for 5,000,000 common shares of Cascade Copper.
