Trifecta Gold Ltd.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements Unaudited – Prepared by Management

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019

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 1016 - 510 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6B 1L8. Its records office is located at 1710 - 1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2L3. The Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Strategic Metals Ltd. (“Strategic”), until June 9, 2017, at which time Strategic’s ownership position was reduced to approximately 9.19% through a Plan of Arrangement, which concluded with each Strategic shareholder receiving one Trifecta common share for every four and one-half Strategic common shares they owned as of May 31, 2017. The Company was listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) on June 15, 2017.

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. Its exploration activities have been curtailed pending an improvement in its working capital. 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 condensed interim 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 June 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of $114,199 (December 31, 2019 – $74,551), and shareholders’ equity of $2,027,452 (December 31, 2019 - $1,981,975). As of August 26, 2020. the Company is awaiting regulatory approval to complete an additional $810,000 private placement (see note 12(b)), which should enable the Company to carry on as a going concern beyond one year. The Company will continue to seek the funding necessary to enable it to carry on as a going concern, but management cannot provide assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional debt and/or equity capital or conclude a corporate transaction.

In order to preserve working capital, the Company has undertaken a number of changes, including completing a Severance Settlement Agreement with its former CEO to step down (note 8), withdrawing from its option agreement on the Eureka Dome property (note 5(d)(i)), liquidation of its marketable securities (note 4) and it is awaiting regulatory approval to replace its Yuge project option with a more favorable purchase agreement (see note 12(a)). The Company will continue to seek cost saving measures, project partners, merger/acquisitions or financing opportunities. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

During the six months ended June 30, 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 the outbreak and its effects 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019

5. Mineral property interests (continued)

(a) Wholly-owned projects

By an agreement dated December 9, 2016, the Company agreed to purchase the Eureka, Treble and Triple Crown mineral properties from Strategic by issuing Strategic 14,500,000 of its common shares at a value of $0.10 per share, giving the transaction a total value of $1,450,000. The agreed amount approximated the cumulative acquisition and exploration costs incurred on the properties by Strategic.

Transactions between related parties take place at a fair market value, where such values can be determined. The purchased properties are in the exploration stage with no proven economic mineral reserves, so there was insufficient information to determine a fair value less cost to sell, or a value in use. Under IFRS 6, mineral property interests can be carried at cost until such time the properties become impaired. Given the properties were, and are not considered impaired, and given a fair value could not be determined, the Company used the cumulative property costs to Strategic as the transfer value of the properties.

(i) Eureka

The Eureka project consists of a 100% interest in the Eureka mineral claims located in the Dawson Mining District, Yukon Territory. The project was acquired in December 2016 from Strategic by the issue of 11,250,000 common shares at $0.10 per share for an aggregate cost of $1,125,000. The claims are subject to a 1% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”).

(ii) Treble

The Treble project consists of a 100% interest in the LLL mineral claims located in the Dawson Mining District, Yukon Territory. The project was acquired in December 2016 from Strategic by the issue of 1,150,000 common shares at $0.10 per share for an aggregate cost of $115,000. The claims are not subject to any royalty interests.

(b) Wholly-owned and under option project

Trident

The Trident project consists of the Squid claims, which are wholly-owned, and the CH claims which are being acquired under an option agreement.

Wholly-owned claims

The Squid claims are located in the Dawson Mining District, Yukon Territory, and were acquired by staking.

Under option claims

By an agreement dated December 8, 2016, and amended on April 27, 2017, the Company may acquire a 100% interest in the CH mineral claims located in the Dawson Mining District, Yukon Territory from Coureur Des Bois Ltee Ltd. (“Coureur”), for consideration of:

  • The issuance of 1,500,000 common shares to Coureur as follows:

  • 150,000 shares upon completion of a TSX-V listing (issued June 15, 2017);

  • 150,000 shares on or before December 8, 2017 (issued December 8, 2017);

  • 200,000 shares on or before December 8, 2018 (issued December 6, 2018);

  • 300,000 shares on or before December 8, 2019 (issued December 2, 2019); and

  • 700,000 shares on or before December 8, 2020.

Upon completion of the agreement, the Company will attain a 100% interest in the claims and Coureur will retain a 2% NSR from any precious metal commercial production and a 1% NSR from any non-precious metal commercial production. The Company would have the right at any time to purchase one-half of the NSR for $1,000,000.

5. Mineral property interests (continued)

(c) Project under option from other parties

Yuge

On February 27, 2018, the Company signed a letter of intent, which was subsequently replaced with a definitive agreement, to option from Silver Range Resources Ltd. (“Silver Range”) up to a 75% interest in Silver Range’s Yuge property, which is located in Nevada, USA.

For a 51% interest, the Company is required to:

  • Reimburse Silver Range its staking and recording costs of US$7,100 (paid $9,066 Cdn);

  • Complete a US$1,000,000 work program on or before February 28, 2021;

  • Pay Silver Range US$250,000 cash and/or shares at the Company’s election, on or before February 28, 2021;

  • Grant Silver Range a 1% NSR; and

  • Grant Silver Range a success fee of US$1 per ounce, payable upon completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment based on measured and indicated resources greater than 500,000 ounces.

For an additional 24% interest, the Company is required to:

  • Complete an additional US$2,000,000 work program on or before February 28, 2023;

  • Pay Silver Range US$500,000 cash and/or shares at the Company’s election, on or before February 28, 2023; and

  • Grant Silver Range an additional 1% NSR, which can be purchased for US$1,000,000 at any time prior to production.

Silver Range will act as the project operator for the first phase of exploration in return for a 10% management fee. Once fully vested a Joint Venture would be formed to continue exploration of the property. Should either party’s interest be diluted to below 10%, it would be converted into a 1% NSR, half of which could be purchased for US$1,000,000.

As of August 26, 2020, the Company and Silver Range are awaiting regulatory approval to replace the Yuge option agreement with a property purchase agreement (see note 12(a)).

(d) Others

(i) Eureka Dome

In April 2019, the Company terminated an option agreement to earn a 70% interest in the Eureka Dome property located in the Dawson Mining District, Yukon Territory, and wrote-off its cumulative acquisition and exploration expenditures of $36,046. During the option period, the Company made cash payments totaling $20,000, and issued 200,000 of its common shares to the optionor.

(ii) Triple Crown

The Triple Crown project consisted of a 100% interest in the OOO mineral claims located in the Dawson Mining District, Yukon Territory. The project was acquired in December 2016 from Strategic by the issue of 2,100,000 common shares at $0.10 per share for an aggregate cost of $210,000.

By Agreement dated September 16, 2019, the Company sold its Triple Crown project back to Strategic for cash consideration of $100,000. The Company retains a 0.5% NSR on the claims, which Strategic can purchase at any time for $500,000.

  • (d) Others (continued)

(iii) Handsome Jack

The Company retains a 1% NSR on the Handsome Jack project which consists of a 100% interest in the Never Sweat mineral claims located in the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia. One-half of the NSR can be purchased by the claim owner at any time for a cash payment of $500,000.

6. Share capital

The authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. All issued shares are fully paid.

Transactions for the issue of share capital during the six months ended June 30, 2020:

On June 9, 2020, the Company completed a private placement consisting of the issue of 4,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.025 per share for gross proceeds of $100,000. In connection with the financing, the Company incurred legal fees of $8,000 which were recorded as share issue costs.

Transactions for the issue of share capital during the six months ended June 30, 2019:

On February 14, 2019, the Company entered a Debt Settlement Agreement (the “Debt Settlement”) with Silver Range whereby the Company issued a total of 200,000 common shares to settle an amount owing to Silver Range of $12,000 ($0.06 per share). No gain or loss was recognized in connection with the Debt Settlement.

On May 7, 2019, the Company issued 1,500,000 to its former President and CEO in connection with a Severance Settlement Agreement (the “Severance Settlement”) (see note 8). The common shares were issued at a value of $0.05 per share, for an aggregate value of $75,000. No gain or loss was recognized in connection with the Severance Settlement.

Stock options

The Company has an incentive stock option plan (the “Plan”), under which the maximum number of stock options issued cannot exceed 10% of the Company’s currently issued and outstanding common shares. The exercise period for any options granted under the Plan cannot exceed ten years. The exercise price of options granted under the Plan cannot be less than the “discounted market price” of the common shares (defined as the last closing market price of the Company’s common shares immediately preceding the issuance of a news release announcing the granting of the options, or the date of grant in respect of options granted to consultants, less a discount of from 15% to 25%), unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and accepted by the TSX-V.

A participant who is not a consultant conducting investor relations activities, who is granted an option under the plan with exercise prices at or above “Market Price” will have their options vest immediately, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. A participant who is granted an option under the plan with exercise prices below “Market Price” will become vested with the right to exercise one-sixth of the option upon conclusion of every three months subsequent to the grant date. A participant who is a consultant conducting investor relations activities who is granted options under the plan will become vested with the right to exercise one-quarter of the options upon conclusion of every three months subsequent to the grant date.

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 is based on the loss attributable to common shareholders of $46,523 (2019 - $289,288) and a weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 37,779,395 (2019 – 35,906,807).

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 June 30, 2020 is comprised of shareholders’ equity of $2,027,452 (December 31, 2019 - $1,981,975).

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, 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).

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 receivable exposure as its refundable credits are due from the Canadian government.

(b) Interest rate risk

The Company is not exposed to interest risk as it does not hold financial securities or debt that would be impacted by fluctuating interest rates.

(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 or currency risk as it no longer holds marketable securities and does not hold US dollars.

12. Events after the reporting period

  • (a) On July 7, 2020, the Company entered into a Property Purchase Agreement (the “PP Agreement”) with Silver Range in respect of the Yuge Property, which is currently under an option agreement, that would allow the Company to earn a 75% interest (note 5(c)). Pursuant to the terms of the PP Agreement, which is subject to regulatory approval, the Company can acquire a 100% interest in the Yuge Property by:

  • Terminating the option agreement;

  • Issuing to Silver Range that number of common shares equal to 9.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately following the closing of the first $500,000 of a financing (subsequently determined to be 4,797,611 shares);

  • Reimbursing Silver Range for property maintenance payments, rentals and filing fees made to maintain the property in good standing until September 1, 2021; and

  • Paying Silver Range $250,000 on or before July 7, 2021 (the “Final Payment”).

Upon completion of the PP Agreement, Silver Range will retain a 2% NSR from the commercial production of any mineral products on the property. At any time following the closing of the PP Agreement, the Company will have the right to purchase one-half of the NSR for $1,000,000.

  • (b) As of August 26, 2020, the Company is awaiting regulatory approval to complete a private placement consisting of the issue of 11,571,429 non-flow-through common share units at a price of $0.07 per unit for gross proceeds of $810,000. Each unit will consist of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant being exercisable into an additional common share at an exercise price of $0.14 for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.
