VISCOUNT MINING CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

Viscount Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on October 26, 2011. The Company’s registered office is located at 409 - 221 W. Esplanade, North Vancouver BC, V7M 3J3. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV”) and trades under the symbol “VML”.

The Company is an exploration stage company, and its principal business activity is natural resource exploration, focusing on resources located in the states of Nevada and Colorado in the USA. Mining and exploration involve a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company has no source of revenue and has significant cash requirements to conduct its planned exploration, meet its administrative overhead and maintain its resource interests.

The Company had cash of $1,629,409 on February 28, 2022 (August 31, 2021 - $2,571,328) and working capital of $1,880,537 (August 31, 2021 - $2,781,201), but management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. For the six months ended February 28, 2022, the Company had no source of operating revenues, incurred an operating loss of $730,647 (February 28, 2021 - $728,868) and, as at that date, had an accumulated deficit of $13,010,043 (August 31, 2021 - $12,328,734).

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 consolidated financial statements, it would be necessary to restate the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis.

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 ultimate geographic spread of the disease, 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. While certain restrictions are being relaxed, it is unclear when the world will return to the previous normal, if ever. This may adversely impact the expected implementation of the Company’s plans moving forward.

  • A. Nevada Properties , described collectively as the Cherry Creek Project, is focused on exploration in the immediate vicinity of an area commonly known as the Cherry Creek Mining District, located approximately 50 miles north of the town of Ely, in White Pine County, Nevada.

In January 2021 Viscount entered into an exploration earn-in agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. “Centerra” to earn up to a 70% interest in the Cherry Creek Project.

Page | 2

VISCOUNT MINING CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 28, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Under terms of the Agreement Centerra has the right to acquire a 70% interest in the Property through (a) making annual payments totaling US$250,000 over a 4-year period, and (b) spending US$8,000,000 on mineral exploration costs on the Property over 4 years. If Centerra’s option vests, then Viscount and Centerra will enter into a joint venture agreement.

Centerra would hold an initial interest of 70% in the Joint Venture, including the Property and any properties in the Area of Interest, and Viscount would hold an initial interest of 30% in the Joint Venture, including the Property and any properties in the Area of Interest. To maintain their respective percentage interest, each Party would then, upon provision of a reasonable amount of notice, contribute on a pro rata basis to further exploration and any potential development or mining on the Property and/or the properties within the Area of Interest.

The Parties would, in the Joint Venture Agreement, establish a management committee for which the representation of each Party will, at a minimum, be in proportion to its percentage interest in the Joint Venture. This management committee will propose and determine the exploration and potential development of mining on the Property and/or the properties within the Area of Interest.

Initially, Viscount was the project manager for the exploration program, with Centerra providing all funds required to conduct exploration of the project. In addition, as project manager Viscount earns operating fees of 10% on all project expenditures. Effective March 1, 2022, Centerra exercised its option under the Joint Venture Agreement and assumed the role as project manager.

  • B. Colorado Properties , described collectively as Silver Cliff, consists of 96 lode claims where high grade silver, gold and base metal production came from numerous mines during the period 1878 to 1894.

On August 13, 2014, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Silver Cliff Agreement”) with David C. and Debra J. Knight Living Trust (the “Owner”), whereby the Owner has agreed to grant an option to the Company to acquire an undivided 100% interest in the Silver Cliff project (the “Silver Cliff Property”), effective September 15, 2014.
