Trifecta Gold Ltd. Financial Statements December 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Trifecta Gold Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Trifecta Gold Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, loss and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Glenn Parchomchuk.

Trifecta Gold Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

1. Nature of operations and going concern

Trifecta Gold Ltd. (the “Company” or “Trifecta”) was incorporated on October 4, 2016 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and was registered extra-territorially in the Yukon Territory on January 6, 2017. The Company’s head office is located at 510 - 1100 Melville Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4A6. Its records office is located at 1710 - 1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2L3. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).

The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties. The Company has been exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether they contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company's continuing operations and the underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral property interests, obtaining the necessary permits to mine, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition or option of the mineral property interests. The carrying amounts of mineral properties are based on costs incurred to date, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.

These annual financial statements (the “financial statements”) are prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. The Company does not have revenues and has incurred operating losses since incorporation. As at December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $1,776,198 (December 31, 2020 – $632,710), and shareholders’ equity of $4,941,322 (December 31, 2020 - $3,062,939). Management has assessed that this working capital is sufficient for the Company to continue as a going concern beyond one year. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, it could be necessary to restate the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis.

In March 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the American, Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of these restrictions and orders on the Company’s ability to raise capital or conduct exploration activities. There are travel restrictions and health and safety concerns in all areas in which the Company operates, including the Yukon Territory, Canada and Nevada, USA, that may prohibit or delay exploration programs from proceeding. Operations will depend on obtaining necessary field supplies, obtaining contractor services and safeguarding all personnel during the outbreak, which may be prohibitive or too costly. To date, the restricted nature of the Company’s activities has not qualified it for the various Government wage and loan subsidies.

2. Significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of presentation

These 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 ("IFRIC").

These financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

All amounts on these financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the functional currency of the Company.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) New accounting policies

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The Company has reviewed these updates and determined that none of these updates are applicable or consequential to the Company and have been excluded from discussion within these significant accounting policies.

(c) Financial instruments

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: as FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost and other financial liabilities at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets or liabilities were acquired or incurred. Management determines the classification of financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition.

• (i) Non-derivative financial assets and liabilities

Recognition

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities using the following measurement categories:

• (a) Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (loss) or through profit or loss); and

• (b) Those to be measured at amortized cost.

The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (an irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

When the Company holds marketable securities, they are classified as FVTPL. Marketable securities held in companies with an active market are classified as current assets at fair value. Marketable securities held in non-public companies without an active market are classified as non-current assets and are valued at fair value. In situations where fair value is indeterminable or impracticable to determine, the shares are recorded at cost. This may occur when non-public company shares are received as payment for mineral property interests. In such situations cost is determined by reference to the issue price of similar shares issued by the non-public entity for cash, at or near the time of issue of the investment shares, and in similar volumes. When, at future measurement dates fair value is still indeterminable, or impracticable, cost is used as the measure of fair value. When there is evidence of impairment the shares are written-down to expected realizable value.

Cash and cash equivalents and reclamation bond are classified as FVTPL and are accounted for at fair value.

(c) Financial instruments (continued)

(ii) Derivative financial assets

Warrants are classified as derivative financial assets and are recorded at FVTPL. Warrants without an active market that are received as attachments to common share units are initially recorded at nominal amounts. At the time of purchase the total unit cost is allocated in full to each common share. Subsequent value is determined at measurement date using a valuation technique, such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model, or when the valuation technique input variables are not reliable, using the intrinsic value, which is equal to the higher of the market value of the underlying security, less the exercise price of the warrant, or zero. The Company does not own any warrants as at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

(iii) Other financial liabilities

The Company has the following other financial liabilities: accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable to related parties.

Such financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recorded to profit or loss.

(d) Mineral property interests

The acquisition costs of mineral property interests and any subsequent exploration and evaluation costs are capitalized until the property to which they relate is placed into production, sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned. Exploration and evaluation costs incurred prior to obtaining ownership, or the right to explore a property, are expensed as incurred as property examination costs. Mineral property interests that have close proximity and have the possibility of being developed as a single mine are grouped as projects and are considered separate cash generating units (“CGU”) for the purpose of determining future mineral reserves and impairments.

The acquisition costs include the cash consideration paid and the fair value of any shares issued for mineral property interests being acquired or optioned pursuant to the terms of relevant agreements.

Proceeds received from a partial sale or option of any interest in a property are credited against the carrying value of the property. When the proceeds exceed the carrying costs the excess is recorded in profit or loss in the period the excess is received. When all of the interest in a property is sold, subject only to any retained royalty interests which may exist, the accumulated property costs are written-off, with any gain or loss included in profit or loss in the period the transaction takes place. No initial value is assigned to any retained royalty interest. The royalty interest is subsequently assessed for value by reference to developments on the underlying mineral property.

Management reviews its mineral property interests at each reporting period for signs of impairment and annually after each exploration season to consider if there is impairment in value taking into consideration current year exploration results, or likely gains from the disposition or option of the property. If a property is abandoned or inactive for a prolonged period, or considered to have no future economic potential, the acquisition and deferred exploration and evaluation costs are written-off to profit or loss.

Once an economically viable resource has been determined for an area and the decision to proceed with development has been approved, mineral property interests attributable to that area are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to property and equipment. Subsequent recovery of the resulting carrying value depends on successful development or sale of the undeveloped project. Should a project be put into production, the costs of acquisition, exploration and evaluation will be amortized over the life of the project based on estimated economic reserves. If the carrying value of a project exceeds its estimated net realizable value or value in use, an impairment provision is recorded.

When entitled, the Company records refundable mineral exploration tax credits or incentive grants on an accrual basis and as a reduction of the carrying value of the mineral property interest. When the Company is entitled to non-refundable exploration tax credits, and it is probable that they can be used to reduce future taxable income, a deferred income tax benefit is recognized.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Impairment

(i) Financial assets

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as of the reporting date, with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition, based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.

(ii) Non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed quarterly by management for indicators that carrying value is impaired and may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present the recoverable amount of an asset is evaluated at the CGU level, which is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the greater of the CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The Company’s mineral property interest impairment policy is more specifically discussed in note 2(d) above.

(f) Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued based on their fair value at the date the shares are issued.

The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The Company considers the fair value of common shares issued in a private placement to be the more easily measurable component and the common shares are valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the issue date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any value attributed to the warrants is recorded as contributed surplus.

(g) Flow-through share private placements

As an incentive to complete private placements the Company may issue common shares, which by agreement are designated as flow-through shares. Such agreements require the Company to spend the funds from these placements on qualified exploration expenditures and renounce the expenditures and income tax benefits to the flow-through shareholders, resulting in no exploration deductions to the Company.

The shares are usually issued at a premium to the trading value of the Company’s common shares at the date the private placement is announced. The premium is a reflection of the value of the income tax benefits that the Company must pass on to the flow-through shareholders. On issue, share capital is increased only by the nonflow-through share equivalent value. Any premium is recorded as a flow-through share premium liability.

The loss of the tax benefit is recorded as a deferred income tax liability and eliminates the original flow-through share premium liability, with the difference, if any, recorded as a deferred income tax expense. In instances where the Company has unused temporary income tax benefits, or unused non-capital losses or tax credits available to offset the deferred income tax liability, the realization of these income tax benefits is shown as a recovery in profit or loss in the period the deferred income tax liability is recorded.

The deferred income tax liability and reversal of the flow-through share premium liability are recorded on a prorata basis as the required exploration expenditures are completed and renounced to the flow-through shareholders.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(h) Share-based payment transactions

The Company has a stock option plan that provides for the granting of options to Officers, Directors, related company employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of the options is measured on grant date and is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus as the options vest.

Options granted to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the grant date at the fair value of the instruments issued. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest. Each tranche in an award with graded vesting is considered a separate grant with a different vesting date and fair value. Each grant is accounted for on that basis.

Options granted to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used. The value of the goods or services is recorded at the earlier of the vesting date, or the date the goods or services are received.

Over the vesting period, share-based payments are recorded as a general and administrative expense and as contributed surplus. When options are exercised the consideration received is recorded as share capital. In addition, the related share-based payments originally recorded as contributed surplus are transferred to share capital. When an option is cancelled or expires, the initial recorded value is reversed from contributed surplus and credited to deficit.

(i) Environmental rehabilitation

An obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs arises when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development or ongoing production of a mineral property interest. The estimated costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are determined, and capitalized at the start of each project to the carrying amount of the asset, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. Discount rates, using a pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money, are used to calculate the net present value. These costs are charged against profit or loss over the economic life of the related asset, through amortization using either the unit-of-production or the straight-line method. The related liability is adjusted at each reporting date for the unwinding of the discount rate, for changes to the current market-based discount rate, and for changes to the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation. Costs for restoration of subsequent site damage which is created on an ongoing basis during production are provided for at their net present values and charged against profits as extraction progresses.

The Company has no known restoration, rehabilitation or environmental costs, of any significance, related to its mineral property interests.

(j) Income taxes

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred income taxes. Current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity or equity investments.

Current income tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Trifecta Gold Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

• (j) Income taxes (continued)

Deferred income 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. Deferred income tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority for the same taxable entity. A deferred income tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related income tax benefit will be realized.

(k) Earnings (loss) per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held and for the effects of all potential dilutive common shares related to outstanding stock options and warrants issued by the Company for the years presented, except if their inclusion proves to be anti-dilutive.

(l) Use of estimates and critical judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. Those areas requiring the use of management estimates and judgments include:

Estimates

• (i) Option or sale agreements, under which the Company may receive shares as payment, require the Company to determine the fair value of the shares received. Many factors can enter into this determination, including, if public shares, the number of shares received, the trading value of the shares, and volume of shares, and if non-public shares, the underlying asset value of the shares, or value of the claims under option or sale. This determination is subjective and does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the shares received.

• (ii) Recorded costs of flow-through share premium liabilities reflect the premium received by the Company on the issue of flow-through shares. The premium is subject to measurement uncertainly and requires the Company to assess the value of non-flow through shares. This determination is subjective and does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the premium liability.

• (iii) The determination of the fair value of stock options or compensatory warrants using stock pricing models requires the input of highly subjective variables, including expected price volatility. Wide fluctuations in the variables could materially affect the fair value estimate; therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options and warrants.

Judgments

• (i) Recorded costs of mineral property interests and deferred exploration and evaluation costs are not intended to reflect present or future values of these properties. The recorded costs are subject to measurement uncertainty and it is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that change in future conditions could require a material change in the recognized amount. Management is required, at each reporting date, to review its mineral property interests for signs of impairment. This is a highly subjective process taking into consideration exploration results, metal prices, economics, financing prospects and sale or option prospects. Management makes these judgments based on information available, but there is no certainty that a property is or is not impaired. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

• (l) Use of estimates and critical judgments (continued)

Judgments (continued)

• (ii) The determination of deferred income tax assets or liabilities requires subjective assumptions regarding future income tax rates and the likelihood of utilizing tax carry-forwards. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the recorded amounts, and therefore do not necessarily provide certainty as to their recorded values.

(m) Standards issued but not yet effective

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company has reviewed these updates and determined that none of these updates are applicable or consequential to the Company and have been excluded from discussion within these significant accounting policies.

Share-based payment costs were calculated using the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of options - five years, expected stock price volatility – 125.00%, no dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate yield – 0.85%. The fair value is particularly impacted by the Company’s stock price volatility. Using the above assumptions, the fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $0.08 per option, for a total of $33,647.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, 2,325,000 stock options were granted to Officers, Directors, related company employees and consultants. The Company has recorded the fair value of all options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Warrants

As an incentive to complete private placements, the Company may issue units which consist of common shares and common share purchase warrants. Using the residual value method, the Company determines whether a value should be allocated to the warrants attached to private placement units.

A summary of the status of the Company’s warrants as at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and changes during the years then ended is as follows:

	Year	ended	Year	ended

(1)	Exercisable into units comprising one common share and one share purchase warrant.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 397,600 finders’ warrants in connection with a completed private placement. Each warrant is exercisable into a Unit at an exercise price of $0.10 until June 30, 2023. The value of the finders’ warrants was determined to be $19,400 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of warrants – two years, expected stock price volatility – 125.00%, no dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate yield – 0.35%.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, 4,352,856 warrants expired unexercised. As a result, the original residual value of $65,293 was been reversed from contributed surplus and credited to share capital.

Contributed surplus

Contributed surplus, when applicable, includes the accumulated fair value of stock options recognized as share-based payments and the fair value of warrants issued on private placements. Contributed surplus is increased by the fair value of these items on vesting and is reduced by corresponding amounts when the options or warrants expire or are exercised or cancelled.

7. Loss per share

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 is based on the loss attributable to common shareholders of $432,964 (2020 - $210,013) and a weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 69,435,933 (2020 – 44,985,217).

All stock options and warrants were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of shares calculation, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

11. Financial risk management

Capital management

The Company is a resource exploration company and considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company has no debt and does not expect to enter into debt financing. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, purchase shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids or make special distributions to shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. The Company’s capital structure as at December 31, 2021 is comprised of shareholders’ equity of $4,941,322 (December 31, 2020 - $3,062,939).

The Company currently has no source of revenues. In order to fund future projects and pay for operating costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern on a long-term basis and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation is primarily dependent upon its ability to sell or option its mineral properties and its ability to borrow or raise additional financing from equity markets (see note 1).

Financial instruments - fair value

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, reclamation bond, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable to related parties. The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable to related parties approximates their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on the statements of financial position are summarized into the following fair value hierarchy levels:

• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3		Total

Cash and cash equivalents	1,746,016		-		-	1,746,016

11. Financial risk management (continued)

Financial instruments - risk

The Company’s financial instruments can be exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and market and currency risk.

(a) Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash. All of the Company’s cash is held in financial institutions in Canada, and management believes the exposure to credit risk with respect to such institutions is not significant. The Company has minimal receivables exposure as its refundable credits are due from the Canadian government.

(b) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates. Fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on the Company’s operations due to the short term to maturity and no penalty cashable feature of its cash equivalents. For the year ended December 31, 2021, every 1% fluctuation in interest rates up or down would have impacted loss for the year, up or down, by approximately $11,000 (2020 - $5,000).

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure its expenditures will not exceed available resources. See note 1 for further details.

(d) Market and currency risk

The Company is not exposed to market risk as it does not hold marketable securities.

The Company is exposed to currency risk because it holds funds in United States Dollars (“USD”), which, because of fluctuating exchange rates can create gains or losses at the time the funds are converted to Canadian dollars. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its foreign currency holdings. Based on its December 31, 2021 USD holdings, every 10% increase or decrease in the exchange rate would have had an insignificant impact on profit or loss for the year.

12. Event after the reporting period

On January 25, 2022, the Company granted 250,000 stock options to a newly appointed Director. The stock options vest quarterly over a period of one year and are exercisable at $0.08 until January 25, 2027.
