Jasper Mining Corporation (an exploration stage corporation)

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

For the period ended September 30, 2021 (unaudited)

1. Nature of operations and going concern

Jasper Mining Corporation (the “Corporation”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Corporation is engaged in the business of mineral exploration in Canada. The Corporation’s registered and head office is located at 501, 888 - 4[th] Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 0V2.

To date, the Corporation has not yet determined whether its mineral claims are economically recoverable, nor has it found defined reserves and it’s considered to be in the exploration stage. The Corporation believes that it has established and retains satisfactory title to all its claims.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharging of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. The ability of the Corporation to continue to operate as a going concern is largely dependent on its ability in the near term to access sufficient new capital to satisfy its current obligations and fund future exploration and development activities. The Corporation will require the continued support of its various creditors and related party lenders and the ability to access capital on favorable terms. Management plans to meet its capital requirements from available funds, equity financings, advances from related parties, sale or farmout of assets, and cash to be provided from the exercise of options in the future. Management’s assessment of the Corporation is based on its current cash flow forecast and financial model. There are material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt as to whether the Corporation is a going concern as a result of the following factors:

  • a) As at September 30, 2021, the Corporation had a working capital deficiency of $389,447 (December 31, 2020 - $332,390) and no sources of revenue from its resource assets;

  • b) There are significant future capital expenditures required to further explore and develop the Corporation’s resource assets;

  • c) The current equity market environment may hamper the Corporation’s ability to raise funds for its exploration programs; and

  • d) The uncertainties caused by the “COVID-19” pandemic and their impact on the local and global economic environment (note 2).

Management’s plans for addressing the above factors are as follows:

  • a) The Corporation will continue to seek appropriate financing initiatives that benefit the Corporation and its shareholders; and

  • b) The Corporation will continue to review opportunities to enter into joint venture or farm-out arrangements or the potential sale of existing resource interests.

These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern and these adjustments could be material.

2. Impact of COVID-19

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of any government monetary and fiscal interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Corporation and its operations in future periods. The outbreak and subsequent measures intended to limit the pandemic have contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. Although the Corporation did not pursue any equity offerings during the period ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, the volatility and uncertainty in the market could have a significant impact on its ability to do so in future periods.

Management has taken the following steps to address and limit the impact on the Corporation and its financial condition:

  • The Corporation has implemented and followed health and safety procedures in accordance with provincial health guidelines; and

  • The Corporation has reduced its spending on general and administrative and other discretionary expenses to preserve cash resources and limit the impact on liquidity.

The following estimates and judgements made by management in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are increasingly difficult and subject to a higher degree of measurement uncertainty:

  • Appropriateness of the going concern assumption

3. Basis of presentation

  • a) Statement of compliance:

These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 26, 2021.

Expenses in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss are presented as a combination of function and nature in conformity with industry practice. Depreciation is presented on a separate line by its nature, while general and administrative expenses are presented on a functional basis. Other significant expenses, such as share-based compensation, are presented by their nature.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

4. Significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies:

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies as described in note 4 of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no changes to the Corporation’s accounting policies since December 31, 2020.

5. Newly adopted and future accounting standards

Future accounting standards and pronouncements

Onerous Contracts—Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)

The amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (example would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).

These amendments are effective for reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)

The amendments to IAS1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

6. Mineral property security deposit

The Corporation is required to maintain safekeeping deposits as a condition of certain mineral claims. These deposits represent collateral for possible reclamation activities necessary on mineral properties in connection with the permits required for exploration activities by the Corporation. The deposits are held in guaranteed investment certificates with annual maturity dates and interest rates of 1.25% (December 31, 2020 – 1.25%) or in trust with the government ministry.

The Corporation is required to maintain safekeeping deposits in the amount of $54,500 (December 31, 2020 - $54,500) pursuant to various mineral claim agreements with the Government of British Columbia.

13. Related party transactions and key management compensation

Except as disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements, the Corporation had the following related party transactions in the normal course of operations and measured at the exchange amount:

Amounts due to related parties consist of amounts due from shareholders, officers and directors of the Corporation and companies controlled or significantly influenced by shareholders and officers of the Corporation. The amounts are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no fixed terms of repayment.

  • a) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, $1,500 and $4,500 (2020 - $1,500 and $4,500) was charged for rent by a company owned by the President of the Corporation. Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2021 is $12,600 (December 31, 2020 - $7,875) due to this company.

  • b) As of September 30, 2021, there was $70,000 due to related parties (December 31, 2020 - $30,000) controlled by the President of the Corporation.

  • c) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, $5,250 and $15,750 (2020 - $5,250 and $15,750) was charged by a company owned by the President of the Corporation for administrative services. Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2021 is $44,100 (December 31, 2020 - $27,563) due to this company.

14. Capital management

The Corporation’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a flexible capital structure, which will allow it to pursue the development of its mineral properties. Therefore, the Corporation monitors the level of risk incurred in its mineral property expenditures relative to its capital structure.

The Corporation considers its capital structure to include its working capital deficit of $389,447 (December 31, 2020 - $332,390) and shareholders’ deficit of $230,042 (December 31, 2020 - $172,660). The Corporation monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Corporation may issue new equity if available on favourable terms, option its mineral properties for cash and/or expenditure commitments from optionees, enter into joint venture arrangements, or dispose of mineral properties.

The Corporation’s investment policy is to hold cash in interest bearing bank accounts and highly liquid short-term interest bearing investments with maturities of one year or less which can be liquidated at any time without penalties.

The Corporation is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There has been no change in the Corporation’s approach to capital management during the period ended September 30, 2021 and years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Corporation has not paid or declared any dividends since the date of incorporation, nor are any contemplated in the foreseeable future.

15. Financial instruments and risk management

The Corporation’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their relatively short periods to maturity. The Corporation has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk as a result of its use of financial instruments. The Corporation has policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Corporation’s policy is to ensure that its investments are liquid.

The Corporation’s other receivables consist of Goods and Services Tax input tax credits. Accordingly, the Corporation views credit risk on other receivables as minimal and has subsequently collected the outstanding amount.

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Corporation’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Corporation’s reputation.

The Corporation prepares annual expenditure budgets, which are regularly monitored and updated as considered necessary. To facilitate its expenditure program, the Corporation raises funds through private equity placements. The Corporation’s liquidity position has weakened since the beginning of the year due to the cost of ongoing exploration and corporate activities exceeding funds raised during the period. Current market conditions resulting from the pandemic (note 2) have created unfavourable terms for equity financings required for junior mineral exploration companies, including the Corporation. As a result, the Corporation is currently evaluating alternatives to raise additional capital to improve liquidity.

As at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation’s financial liabilities were comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties, which all have a maturity of less than one year.

c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its variable interest rate on its cash and cash equivalents and fixed rates on its mineral property security deposits as it has not entered into any interest rate hedging contracts. For the period ended September 30, 2021 and years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, if interest rates had been 1% higher with all other variables held constant, the change in net loss would have been insignificant.
