1. Nature of operations and going concern
Duro Metals Inc. (“Duro” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on July 18, 2018. The Company’s head office is at 250 Southridge NW, Suite 300, Edmonton, Alberta, T6H 4M9. On December 12, 2019, the common shares of the Company were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) as a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) under the trading symbol “DURO.P”.
The principal business of the Company will be the identification and evaluation of a Qualifying Transaction (“QT”) and once identified or evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition or participation in a business subject to receipt of shareholders’ approval, if required, and acceptance by regulatory authorities. The Company plans to focus on evaluating, acquiring, and exploring mineral properties with significant potential for advancement. The Company’s continuing operation as intended are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate a QT. The QT will be subject to the approval of the Exchange and in case of a non-arm’s length transaction, of the majority of the Company’s minority shareholders. The Company is required to complete its QT on or before two years from the date the Company receives regulatory approval. Where a QT has been identified, additional funding may be required in order to complete the transaction; there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining any additional funding. If the Company does not complete a QT within two years from the date the Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, the Exchange may suspend or de-list the Company’s common shares from trading.
These interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. The proposed business of the Company and the completion of a QT involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that the Company will identify an appropriate business for acquisition or investment, and even if so identified and warranted, it may not be able to finance such an acquisition or investment within the requisite time period. Additional funds will be required to enable the Company to pursue such an initiative and the Company may be unable to obtain such financing on terms which are satisfactory to it. Furthermore, as at July 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $133,388 (April 30, 2021 - $242,814) and an accumulated deficit of $331,114 (April 30, 2021 – $221,688). These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as "COVID-19", has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time.
These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption inappropriate, and these adjustments could be material.

4. Financial instruments and risk management
Fair value of financial instruments
IFRS requires disclosures about the inputs to fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement.
The three levels of hierarchy are:
-
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
-
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1, whereas accounts receivable and prepayments, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as Level 2. As at July 31, 2021, the Company believes that the carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.
Financial instruments risk
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counter party limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk of loss associated with counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle its obligations as they come due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds available to meet its short-term business requirements by taking into account the anticipated cash expenditures for its exploration and other operating activities, and its holding of cash and cash equivalents. The Company will pursue further equity or debt financing as required to meet its commitments. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or that it will be available on favourable terms.
As at July 31, 2021, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of its accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are all current obligations.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal.
Capital management
The Company monitors its equity as capital.
The Company’s objectives in managing its capital are to maintain a sufficient capital base to support its operations and to meet its short-term obligations and at the same time preserve inventor’s confidence and retain the ability to seek out and acquire new projects of merit. The Company is not exposed to any externally imposed capital requirements.
5. Related party transactions
Unless otherwise noted, related party transactions were incurred in the normal course of operations and are measured at the amount established and agreed upon by the related parties. The Company incurred and paid fees to directors and officers for management and professional services as follows:
| For the three months ended Professional fees paid to a corporation controlled by key management Rent fees paid to a corporation controlled by key management |
July 31, July 31, 2021 2020 $ 1,500 $ - 3,000 - |
