1.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

   

International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (“ITH” or the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties, and either joint venturing or developing these properties further or disposing of them when the evaluation is completed. At August 31, 2011, the Company was in the exploration stage and controls a 100% interest in its Livengood project in Alaska, U.S.A.

   

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which presume the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and/or obtaining additional financing. During the current period, the Company has raised $229,950 (May 31, 2011 - $18,079,019) through the issuance of common shares and has working capital at August 31, 2011 of $89,084,948 (May 31, 2011 - $108,354,423) which is considered sufficient to fund its operations and exploration program for the ensuing year. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

   

The business of mining and exploration involves 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 meet its administrative overhead and maintain its mineral property interests. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of exploration and evaluation assets. The carrying values of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets do not reflect current or future values.

   
2.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND TRANSFER OF EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

   

On August 26, 2010, the Company completed a Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the British Columbia Business Corporation Act pursuant to which it indirectly transferred all of its existing Alaska assets (other than the Livengood project and associated assets), being the Chisna, West Pogo, Terra and LMS properties and related assets, and its Nevada assets, being the North Bullfrog property and related assets, (collectively, the “Nevada and Other Alaska Business”) to a new public company, Corvus Gold Inc. (“Corvus”). Under the Arrangement, each shareholder of ITH received (as a return of capital) one Corvus common share for every two ITH common shares held as at the effective date of the Arrangement and exchanged each old common share of ITH for a new common share of ITH. As part of the Arrangement, ITH transferred its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Raven Gold Alaska Inc. (“Raven Gold”), incorporated in Alaska, United States, and Corvus Gold Nevada Inc. (formerly “Talon Gold Nevada Inc.”), incorporated in Nevada, United States, (which held the North Bullfrog property) to Corvus. As a consequence of the completion of the Arrangement, Corvus now holds the Terra, Chisna, LMS, West Pogo and North Bullfrog properties (the “Spin-out Properties”).

   

The Company did not realize any gain or loss on the transfer of the Nevada and Other Alaska Business, which was comprised of a working capital contribution of $3,300,000 and the other Nevada and Other Alaska Business assets and liabilities as at the effective date of the Arrangement. Costs of the Arrangement, comprised principally of legal and regulatory expense, amounted to expenses of $nil (2010 - $452,574).

   

The Arrangement was approved by a favourable vote of ITH’s shareholders at a special meeting held on August 12, 2010.

   

The Company has, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) 5, “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”, accounted for the financial results associated with the Nevada and Other Alaska Business up to the date of the Arrangement as discontinued operations in these consolidated financial statements and has reclassified the related amounts for the current and prior years.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND TRANSFER OF EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (cont’d)

   

The amount recognized as loss from discontinued operations includes the direct operating results of the Nevada and Other Alaska Business and an allocation of head office general and administrative expense. The allocation of head office general and administrative expense was calculated on the basis of the ratio of costs incurred on the Spin-out Properties in each period presented as compared to the costs incurred on all mineral properties of the Company in each of the periods. Management cautions readers of these financial statements that the allocation of expenses does not necessarily reflect future general and administrative expenses.

   

The following table shows the results related to discontinued operations for the three months periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010. Included therein is $nil (2010 - $756,202) of share-based payment charges:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   

Basis of presentation

   

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook was revised in 2010 to incorporate IFRS and require publicly accountable enterprises to apply such standards effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company has commenced reporting on this basis in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

   

These are the Company’s first IFRS condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the first quarter of the period covered by IFRS and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” and IFRS 1, “First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standard”. Subject to certain transition elections disclosed in note 16, we have consistently applied the same accounting policies in our opening IFRS consolidated statement of financial position as at June 1, 2010 and throughout all periods presented, as if the policies had always been in effect.

   

Note 16 discloses the impact of the transition from Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Canadian GAAP”) to IFRS on our reported financial position, operations and cash flows, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in our consolidated financial statements for year ended May 31, 2011.

   

IFRS 1, which governs the first-time adoption of IFRS, generally requires accounting policies to be applied retrospectively to determine the opening statement of financial position on our transition date of June 1, 2010, and allows certain exemptions on transition to IFRS. The elections adopted by the Company have been disclosed in note 16.

   

The policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in this note and are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as November 10, 2011, the date the Board of Directors approved the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending May 31, 2012 could result in restatement of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements including the transition adjustments recognized on change-over to IFRS.

   

Basis of consolidation

   

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (“ITH”) (a British Columbia corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tower Hill Mines, Inc. (formerly “Talon Gold Alaska, Inc.”) (“TH Alaska”) (an Alaska corporation), Tower Hill Mines (US) LLC (formerly “Talon Gold (US) LLC”) (“TH US”) (a Colorado limited liability company), and 813034 Alberta Ltd. (an Alberta corporation). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

   

Use of estimates

   

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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 period.

   

Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include rates of depreciation and useful lives of property and equipment, impairment and recoverability of exploration and evaluation expenditures, amounts of provisions for environmental rehabilitation and restoration, accrual of liabilities, assumptions used to determine the fair value of share-based payments, allocation of administrative expenses to discontinued operations and the determination of the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets. While management believes the estimates to be reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

   

Foreign currency transactions

   

Foreign currency accounts are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:

   

The presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

   

The functional currency of each of the parent Company and its subsidiary is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The functional currency of TH Alaska and TH US is US dollars and for the parent company, the functional currency is Canadian dollars.

   

Transactions and balances:

   

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non- monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

   

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which they arise.

   

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss to the extent that gains and losses arising on those non-monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Where the nonmonetary gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, the exchange component is also recognized in profit or loss.

   

Parent and Subsidiary Companies:

   

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated as follows:


  Assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; and
  Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s exchange difference on translating foreign operations on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity titled “Cumulative Translation Differences”. These differences are recognized in the profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.

Financial instruments

  a)

Financial assets

     
 

Financial assets are classified as into one of the following categories based on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. All transactions related to financial instruments are recorded on a trade date basis. The Company’s accounting policy for each category is as follows:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

     

Financial instruments

     
a)

Financial assets (cont’d)

     

Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)

     

A financial asset is classified as FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated as FVTPL if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Upon initial recognition material transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets as FVTPL are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss. Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are classified as FVTPL and are accounted for at fair value.

     

Held-to-maturity

     

Held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortized cost. The Company does not have any financial assets classified as held-to-maturity.

     

Transactions costs associated with FVTPL financial assets are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial assets are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset.

     

Loans and receivables

     

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Loans and receivables comprise accounts receivables.

     

Impairment of financial assets

     

At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired, if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets.

     
b)

Financial liabilities

     

The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the following categories: other financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities.

     

Other financial liabilities

     

Other financial liabilities are non-derivatives and are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts originally received, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is recognized in profit and loss over the period to maturity using the effective interest method.

     

Other financial liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on their maturity date. Other financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

b)

Financial liabilities (cont’d)

     

Derivative financial liabilities

     

Derivative financial liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in profit and loss. Derivative financial liabilities would include warrants issued by the Company denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes.

Marketable securities

Marketable securities held in companies with an active market are classified as FVTPL. 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 properties. 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.

Property and equipment

  a)

Recognition and measurement

     
 

On initial recognition, property and equipment are valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable costs of acquisition or construction required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company, including appropriate borrowing costs and the estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items. The corresponding liability is recognized within provisions.

     
 

Property and equipment is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, less any accumulated impairment losses, with the exception of land which is not depreciated.

     
 

When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment.

     
  b)

Subsequent costs

     
 

The cost of replacing part of an item of property and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Property and equipment (cont’d)

     
c)

Major maintenance and repairs

     

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

     
d)

Gains and losses

     

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount, and are recognized net within other income in profit or loss.

     
e)

Depreciation

     

Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful life of the assets at the following annual rates:


  Computer equipment - 30% declining balance
  Computer software - 3 years straight line
  Furniture and equipment - 20% declining balance
  Leasehold improvements - straight-line over the lease term

Additions during the year are depreciated at one-half the annual rates.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures

All of the Company’s projects are currently in the exploration and evaluation phase.

  a)

Pre-exploration costs

     
 

Pre-exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

     
  b)

Exploration and evaluation expenditures

     
 

Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation expenditures (“E&E”) are capitalized. These include acquisition costs and direct expenditures such as analyzing historical exploration data, topographical, geochemical and geophysical studies, surveying costs, drilling costs, payments made to contractors and depreciation on plant and equipment during the exploration phase. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the period in which they occur.

     
 

When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditure costs, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written off to the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

     
 

The Company assesses interests in exploration properties for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures (cont’d)

     
b)

Exploration and evaluation assets (cont’d)

     

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as “mine development costs”. Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.

     

As the Company currently has no operational income, any incidental revenues earned in connection with exploration activities are applied as a reduction to property carrying values.

     

Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditures are classified as intangible assets.

Impairment of non-current assets

Non-current assets are evaluated at least annually 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 level of a cash generating unit (“CGU”), 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, where 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 the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

In calculating recoverable amount, the Company uses discounted cash flow techniques to determine fair value when it is not possible to determine fair value either by quotes from an active market or a binding sales agreement. The determination of discounted cash flows is dependent on a number of factors, including future metal prices, the amount of reserves, the cost of bringing the project into production, production schedules, production costs, sustaining capital expenditures, and site closure, restoration and environmental rehabilitation costs. Additionally, the reviews take into account factors such as political, social and legal, and environmental regulations. These factors may change due to changing economic conditions or the accuracy of certain assumptions and, hence, affect the recoverable amount.

The Company uses its best efforts to fully understand all of the aforementioned to make an informed decision based upon historical and current facts surrounding the projects. Discounted cash flow techniques often require management to make estimates and assumptions concerning reserves and expected future production revenues and expenses.

Provisions for environmental rehabilitation

The Company records a liability based on the best estimate of costs for site closure and reclamation activities that the Company is legally or constructively required to remediate. The liability is recognized at the time environmental disturbance occurs and the resulting costs are capitalized to the corresponding asset. The provision for closure and reclamation liabilities is estimated using expected cash flows based on engineering and environmental reports prepared by third-party industry specialists and discounted at a pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The capitalized amount is depreciated on the same basis as the related asset. The liability is adjusted for the accretion of the discounted obligation and any changes in the amount or timing of the underlying future cash flows. Significant judgments and estimates are involved in forming expectations of the amounts and timing of future closure and reclamation cash flows.

Additional disturbances and changes in closure and reclamation estimates are accounted for as incurred with a change in the corresponding capitalized cost. Costs of rehabilitation projects for which a provision has been recorded are recorded directly against the provision as incurred, most of which are expected to be incurred at the end of the life of mine.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

   

Reversal of impairment

   

An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. An impairment loss with respect to goodwill is never reversed.

   

Income taxes

   

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income.

   

Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.

   

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

   

Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

   

Share capital

   

The proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants are recorded as capital stock in the amount for which the option or warrant enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company.

   

Commissions paid to underwriters, and other related share issue costs, such as legal, auditing, and printing, on the issue of the Company’s shares are charged directly to capital stock.

   

Valuation of equity units issued in private placements

   

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 fair value of the common shares issued in the private placements was determined to be the more easily measurable component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as warrants.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

   

Earnings (loss) per share

   

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method, the dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti- dilutive.

   

Share-based payments

   

Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss over the vesting period. Performance vesting condition are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Non-vesting conditions and market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied.

   

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss over the remaining vesting period.

   

Where equity instruments are granted to employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the equity instrument granted at the grant date. The grant date fair value is recognized in comprehensive loss/income over the vesting period, described as the period during which all the vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

   

Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.

   

When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

   

All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in contributed surplus, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in contributed surplus is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.

   

Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

   

Non-monetary transactions

   

All non-monetary transactions are measured at the fair value of the asset surrendered or the asset received, whichever is more reliable, unless the transaction lacks commercial substance or the fair value cannot be reliably established. The commercial substance requirement is met when the future cash flows are expected to change significantly as a result of the transaction. When the fair value of a non-monetary transaction cannot be reliably measured, it is recorded at the carrying amount (after reduction, when appropriate, for impairment) of the asset given up adjusted by the fair value of any monetary consideration received or given. When the asset received or the consideration given up is shares in an actively traded market, the value of those shares will be considered fair value.

   

Joint venture accounting

   

Where the Company’s exploration and development activities are conducted with others, the accounts reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities.

   

Future accounting changes

   

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued in November 2009 and contained requirements for financial assets. This standard addresses classification and measurement of financial assets and replaces multiple category and measurement models in IAS 39 for debt instruments with a new mixed measurement model having only two categories: amortized cost and FVTPL. IFRS 9 also replaces the models for measuring equity instruments, and such investments are either recognised at FVTPL or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Where such equity instruments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, dividends are recognised in profit or loss to the extent not clearly representing a return of investment; however, other gains and losses (including impairments) associated with such instruments remain in accumulated comprehensive income indefinitely.

   

Requirements for financial liabilities were added in October 2010 and they largely carried forward existing requirements in IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, except that fair value changes due to credit risk for liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss would generally be recorded in other comprehensive income.

   

This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair values of amounts due to and from related parties have not been disclosed as their fair values cannot be reliably measured since the parties are not at arm’s length.

     

The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

     
a)

Credit risk

     

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and cash equivalents, by purchasing highly liquid, short-term investment-grade securities held at a major Canadian financial institution in accordance with the Company’s investment policy. The Company has no asset backed securities.

     

The Company’s concentration of credit risk and maximum exposure thereto is as follows relating to financial assets:


      August 31,     May 31,     June 1,  
      2011     2011     2010  
                     
  Cash and cash equivalents $  94,408,327   $  111,165,126   $  43,460,324  
  Accounts receivable $  336,518   $  185,733   $  110,214  

At August 31, 2011, the Company held a total of $71,388,552 (May 31, 2011 - $102,310,928, June 1, 2010 - $26,537,499) cash equivalents which consist of interest saving accounts and Guaranteed Investment Certificates (“GICs”):

      Quantity     Maturity Date     Annual Yield  
                     
  Renaissance High Interest Savings $  7,662,139     N/A     N/A  
  RBC Investment Savings   4,158,413     N/A     N/A  
  TD Mortgage Corporation (GIC)   42,068,000     April 16, 2012     1.36%  
  Advisor’s Advantage Trust   17,500,000     May 7, 2012     1.30%  
                     
    $  71,388,552              

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at August 31, 2011 consists of $79,937,114 in Canada and $14,471,213 in the United States. Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s Canadian cash and cash equivalents as all amounts are held at two major Canadian financial institutions. Credit risk with regard to cash held in the United States is mitigated as the amount held in the United States is only sufficient to cover short-term requirements. With respect to receivables at August 31, 2011, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk as the majority are from governmental agencies and interest accruals.

     
  b)

Liquidity risk

     
 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows for operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. The Company normally maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet the Company’s business requirements. At August 31, 2011, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6,647,743 (May 31, 2011 - $4,037,428, June 1, 2010 - $1,187,865), which are all payable within six months and are expected to be settled from available working

capital as they come due. The cash and cash equivalents balance of $94,408,327 will likely be sufficient to meet the needs for the coming year.


  c)

Market risk

       
 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk.

       
  (i)

Interest rate risk

       
 

Interest rate risk consists of the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

       
 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and cash equivalents held in bank accounts and short term deposit certificates of GIC’s with two major Canadian financial institutions that earn interest at variable interest rates. Future cash flows from interest income on cash and cash equivalents will be affected by interest rate fluctuations. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on estimated fair values.

       
 

The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy that focuses primarily on preservation of capital and liquidity. The Company’s sensitivity analysis suggests that a 0.5% change in interest rates would affect interest income by approximately $298,000.

       
  (ii)

Foreign currency risk

       
 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that certain monetary financial instruments and other assets are denominated in United States dollars. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk, as it believes this risk is minimized by the minimal amount of cash held in United States funds, nor entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to mineral property expenditure commitments denominated in United States dollars. The Company’s sensitivity analysis suggests that a consistent 8% change in the absolute rate of exchange for the United States dollars, the foreign currency for which the Company has net assets employed, would affect net assets and foreign exchange gain (loss) by approximately $1,504,000. As at August 31, 2011, the Company had the following financial instruments in USD:


      CAD equivalent     USD  
               
  Cash $  15,145,757   $  15,480,128  
  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $  6,456,917   $  6,599,464  

 

As at August 31, 2011, USD amounts were converted at a rate of USD 1 to CAD 0.9784.

     
  (iii)

Other price risk

     
 

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk. The Company’s investment in marketable securities is exposed to such risk.

Properties acquired from AngloGold, Alaska

     

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Sale and Indemnity Agreement dated June 30, 2006, as amended on July 26, 2007, (the “AngloGold Agreement”) among the Company, AngloGold Ashanti (U.S.A.) Exploration Inc. (“AngloGold”) and TH Alaska, the Company acquired all of AngloGold’s interest in a portfolio of seven mineral exploration projects in Alaska (then aggregating 246 square kilometres) and referred to as the Livengood, Chisna, Gilles, Coffee Dome, West Pogo, Blackshell, and Caribou properties (the “Sale Properties”) in consideration of cash payment USD 50,000 on August 4, 2006, and the issuance of 5,997,295 common shares, representing approximately 19.99% of the Company’s issued shares following the closing of the acquisition and two private placement financings raising an aggregate of $11,479,348. AngloGold has the right to maintain its percentage equity interest in the Company, on an ongoing basis, provided that such right will terminate if AngloGold’s interest falls below 10% at any time after January 1, 2009.

     

As further consideration for the transfer of the Sale Properties, the Company granted to AngloGold a 90 day right of first offer with respect to the Sale Properties and any additional mineral properties in Alaska in which the Company acquires an interest and which interest the Company proposes to farm out or otherwise dispose of. If AngloGold’s equity interest in the Company is reduced to less than 10%, then this right of first offer will terminate. Details of the Livengood Property (being the only Sale Property still held by the Company) are as follows:

     
(i)

Livengood Property

     

The Livengood property is located in the Tintina gold belt approximately 110 kilometres north of Fairbanks, Alaska. The property is approximately 145 square kilometres and consists of fee land leased from the Alaska Mental Health Trust, a number of smaller private mineral leases, Alaska state mining claims located by the Company and patented ground held by the Company.

     

Details of the leases are as follows:


 

a lease of the Alaska State mineral rights having an initial term of three years, commencing July 1, 2004 (subject to extension for two extensions of three years each) and requires work expenditures of USD 10/acre/year in years 1 – 3, USD 20/acre/year in years 4 – 6 and USD 30/acre/year in years 7 – 9 and advance royalty payments of USD 5/acre/year in years 1 – 3, USD 15/acre/year in years 4 – 6 and USD 25/acre/year in years 7 – 9. An NSR production royalty of between 2.5% and 5.0% (depending upon the price of gold) is payable to the lessor with respect to the lands subject to this lease. In addition, an NSR production royalty of 1% is payable to the lessor with respect to the unpatented federal mining claims subject to the lease below.

   

 

a lease of State of Alaska mining claims for a term of ten years, commencing on September 11, 2006. The lease requires payments of USD 75,000 on execution (paid), USD 50,000 in each of years 2 – 5 (paid to year 4) and USD 100,000 in each of years 6 – 10 and work expenditures of USD 100,000 in year one (incurred), USD 200,000 in each of years 2 – 5 (incurred to year 4) and USD 300,000 in each of years 6 – 10. An NSR production royalty of between 2% and 5% is payable to the lessors (depending upon the price of gold). The Company may buy all interest in the property subject to the lease (including the retained royalty) for USD 10,000,000.

Acquisitions

     

The acquisition of title to mineral properties is a detailed and time-consuming process. The Company has taken steps, in accordance with industry standards, to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest. Although the Company has taken every reasonable precaution to ensure that legal title to its properties is properly recorded in the name of the Company, there can be no assurance that such title will ultimately be secured.

     

Environmental Expenditures

     

The operations of the Company may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

     

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries. The Company does not have any provisions for environmental rehabilitation as of August 31, 2011.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

   

The Company manages its capital structure, being its share capital, and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support future business opportunities. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

   

The Company currently has no source of revenues; as such the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry future projects and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

   

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended August 31, 2011. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

TRANSITION TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

   

As stated in note 3, these are the Company’s first condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period covered by the first annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. An explanation of how the transition from previous Canadian GAAP to IFRS has affected the Company’s financial position and comprehensive loss is set out in this note.

   

The accounting policies set out in note 3 have been applied in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the three month period ended August 31, 2011, the comparative information presented in these financial statements as at and for the three month period ended August 31, 2010 and as at and for the year ended May 31, 2011, and in the preparation of an opening IFRS Statement of Financial Position at June 1, 2010 (the Company’s date of transition).

   

First time adoption of IFRS

   

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending May 31, 2012 are the first annual financial statements that will be prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company has adopted IFRS on June 1, 2011 with a transition date of June 1, 2010. Under IFRS 1, “First time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” (“IFRS 1”), the IFRS standards are applied retrospectively at the transition date with all adjustments to assets and liabilities as stated under Canadian GAAP taken to deficit, and IFRS 1 providing for certain optional and mandatory exemptions to this principle.

   

Below are the adjustments necessary for the IFRS transition, including exemptions taken at the transition date:


  a)

Share-based payment transactions

     
 

IFRS 1 allows that a first-time adopter can elect to not apply IFRS 2 to share-based payments granted after November 7, 2002 that vested before the later of (a) the date of transition to IFRS and (b) January 1, 2005. The Company has elected this exemption and will apply IFRS 2 only to unvested stock options as at June 1, 2010, being the transition date.

     
 

IFRS 2 and Canadian GAAP are largely converged, with the exception of two main differences affecting the Company’s stock option grants. IFRS 2 does not allow straight-line amortization of share-based payments related to stock options granted with a graded vesting schedule. The attribution method is required which effectively splits the grant into separate units for valuation purposes based on the vesting schedule. Additionally, IFRS 2 requires the incorporation of an estimate of forfeiture rates. Under Canadian GAAP, the Company’s policy was to account for forfeitures as they occurred.

     
 

Impact on Consolidated Financial Statements


      May 31,     August 31,     June 1,  
      2011     2010     2010  
                     
  Contributed surplus $  321,000   $  -   $  -  
  Adjustment to deficit $  (321,000 ) $  -   $  -  
  Adjustment to share-based payment charges $  321,000   $  -   $  -  

  b)

Business combinations

     
 

IFRS 1 allows that a first-time adopter may elect not to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations (IFRS 3) retrospectively to business combinations prior to the date of transition, avoiding the requirement to restate prior business combinations. The Company has elected to only apply IFRS 3 to business combinations that occur on or after June 1, 2010.

16.

TRANSITION TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (cont’d)

     

First time adoption of IFRS (cont’d)

     
c)

Marketable securities

     

IAS 39 permits a financial asset to be designated on initial recognition as available-for-sale or a financial instrument (provided it meets certain criteria) to be designated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. The Company has taken this election as at the transition date.

     
d)

Cumulative translation differences

     

IFRS 1 allows first-time adopter to elect to deem all cumulative translation differences to be zero at the date of transition. The Company has elected this exemption and as such all cumulative translations amounts to June 1, 2010 have been included in the deficit.

     

Functional and presentation currency

     

The functional currency of TH Alaska and TH US is the US dollars and for all other entities within the Group, the functional currency is the Canadian dollar at the transition date of June 1, 2010. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollar (“CAD”) which is the Group’s presentation currency.

     

Translation of transactions and balances

     

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

     

Group companies

     

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper- inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:


 

Assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that financial period end;

 

Income and expenses for each Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions);

 

Equity transactions are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and

 

All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and reported as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of functional to presentation are taken to Accumulative Other Comprehensive Income.

IAS 21 – “The effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” differs from the Canadian GAAP equivalent, applied by the Group until May 31, 2011. IAS 21 requires an entity to measure its assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in its functional currency. It has been determined that as at the transition date of June 1, 2010, TH Alaska and TH US is US dollars (“USD”) and for all other entities within the Group, the functional currency is Canadian dollars. Prior to the adoption of IFRS, the functional currency of the Group was the CAD.

Cumulative translation differences (cont’d)

     

Group companies (cont’d)

     

Under IAS 21, the assets and liabilities of the Group are translated from TH Alaska and TH US’ functional currency USD, to the presentation currency at the reporting date. The income and expenses are translated to the Group’s presentation currency, which is CAD at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognized directly in other comprehensive income within the foreign currency translation reserve.

  Adjustment to deficit $  (2,298,880 ) $  (2,275,323 ) $  (2,922,189 )

  e)

Fair value as deemed cost

     
 

The Company may elect among two options when measuring the value of its assets under IFRS. It may elect, on an asset by asset basis, to use either historical cost as measured under retrospective application of IFRS or fair value of an asset at the opening balance sheet date. The Company has elected to use historical cost for its assets.

     
  f)

Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

     
 

In accordance with IFRS 1, if a company elects to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations retrospectively, IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements must also be applied retrospectively. As the Company elected to apply IFRS 3 prospectively, the Company has applied IAS 27 prospectively.

     
  g)

Estimates

     
 

The estimates previously made by the Company under pre-changeover Canadian GAAP were not revised for the application of IFRS except where necessary to reflect any difference in accounting policy or where there was objective evidence that those estimates were in error. As a result the Company has not used hindsight to revise estimates.
