Notice to Reader

Please be advised that the following change was made to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2020 and 2019:

The correction of the understatement of the fair value of the derivatives contained in the gold bullion loans by $1,300,000 as at August 31, 2019 and the related overstatement of net loss for the nine month period ended May 31, 2020.  The Company determined an alternate valuation approach should be taken in accordance with IFRS, from the valuation approach originally taken by the Company.  The Company previously valued the gold conversion option contained in the gold bullion loans by taking into account the gold price the holder would need to choose the gold conversion option that would enable the holder to realize a higher profit when compared to conversion to shares.  Based on the stock price, the Company determined there was a very low probability this option would be chosen and based on gold futures prices and option contracts at those future gold prices, this option was assigned a value of $nil.  In the updated interim financial statements, the valuation approach has been revised to consider the value of the conversion option to gold on a stand-alone basis, without comparison to the Company’s stock price or probability of the gold conversion option being chosen.  This resulted in the increase in value of the gold conversion option.  

As a result of the restatement, the Company’s reported net loss was decreased by $1,300,000 for the nine month period ended May 31, 2020 to a loss of $11,692,526.  Please refer to note 2.4 of the Amended and Restated Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2020 and 2019 for additional information.

Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended May 31, 2020 and 2019

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1.Nature of Operations and Going Concern 

The Company was originally incorporated under the corporate name “424547 Alberta Ltd.” in the Province of Alberta on July 5, 1990, under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta).  The name of the Company was changed to Tanzanian Gold Corporation on April 11, 2019 (“Tanzanian” or the “Company”).  The address of the Company’s registered office is 400 3^rd Avenue SW, Suite 3700, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4H2, Canada.  The Company’s principal business activity is in the exploration and development of mineral property interests.  The Company’s mineral properties are located in United Republic of Tanzania (“Tanzania”).

The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral properties.  The business of exploring and mining for minerals involves a high degree of risk.  The underlying value of the mineral properties is dependent upon the existence and economic recovery of mineral resources and reserves, the ability to raise long-term financing to complete the development of the properties, government policies and regulations, and upon future profitable production or, alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis; all of which are uncertain.

The amounts shown as mineral properties and deferred exploration expenditures represent costs incurred to date, less amounts amortized and/or written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values. The underlying value of the mineral properties is entirely dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development, and future profitable production.

At May 31, 2020 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $18,007,916 (August 31, 2019 – $10,395,970), had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $145,461,823 (August 31, 2019 – $133,762,683). The Company will require additional financing in order to conduct its planned work programs on mineral properties, meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its future liabilities as they come due.

The Company’s current funding sources and taking into account the working capital position and capital requirements at May 31, 2020, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and is dependent on the Company raising additional debt or equity financing. The Company must obtain additional funding in order to continue development and construction of the Buckreef Project.  The Company is continuing to pursue additional financing to fund the construction of the Buckreef Project and additional projects. Whilst the Company has been successful in obtaining financing in the past, there is no assurance that such additional funding and/or project financing will be obtained or obtained on commercially favourable terms.  

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustment which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

2.  Basis of Preparation 

2.1 Statement of compliance 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 10, 2020.

2.  Basis of Preparation (continued) 

2.2 Basis of presentation 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2020 and 2019 comprise of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company” or “Group”).

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those applied in the Company’s August 31, 2019 annual financial statements, except for standards adopted during the period as noted below.

2.3Adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations 

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The adoption of the following new standards, interpretations and amendments where included in the financial statements for the year beginning September 1, 2019.

IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”), was issued in January 2016 and it replaces IAS 17 Leases. IFRS 16 requires entities to recognize lease assets and lease obligations on the balance sheet. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for a lessee. Instead leases are “capitalized” by recognizing the present value of the lease payments and showing them either as lease assets (right-of-use assets) or together with property, plant and equipment. If lease payments are made over time, a company also recognizes a financial liability representing its obligations to make future lease payments. IFRS 16 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.  

The Company did not have any operating leases in place as at September 1, 2019, as such, there was no impact on adoption of the standard.

2.4Restatement of previously reported consolidated financial statements 

The Company determined that an alternate valuation approach should be taken in accordance with IFRS from the valuation approach originally taken by the Company.  The Company previously valued the gold conversion option contained in the gold bullion loans by taking into account the gold price the holder would need to consider in order to realize a higher profit upon gold conversion when compared to conversion to shares.  Based on the then stock price, the Company determined that there was a very low probability that  the gold conversion option would be exercised based on gold futures prices and option contracts at those future gold prices, and this option was assigned a value of $nil.  In the updated annual and interim consolidated financial statements, the valuation approach has been revised to consider the value of the conversion option to gold on a stand-alone basis, without comparison to the Company’s stock price or probability of the gold conversion option being chosen.  This resulted in the increase in value of the gold conversion option.  

As a result of the restatement, the Company’s reported net loss was decreased by $1,300,000 for the nine month period ended May 31, 2020 to a loss of $11,692,526.  

The following tables for the Company’s prior interim periods and year ended August 31, 2019 summarize the effect of the adjustment described above:

There were no differences for the statement of financial position previously reported as at May 31, 2020.

2.5 COVID-19  

At the end of 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in China. The COVID-19 outbreak has developed rapidly in 2020, with a significant number of infections around the world. On March 11, 2020, it was labelled a pandemic by the World Health Organization. During the first quarter of 2020, attempts at containment of COVID-19 have resulted in decreased economic activity, which has adversely affected the broader global economy. The rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19; however, the Company seeks to obtain the best possible information to enable the assessment of the risks involved, and implement appropriate measures to respond. During the nine month period ended May 31, 2020, the Company has taken a number of measures to safeguard the health of its employees and the local communities where it operates.

3.Mineral Properties and Deferred Exploration 

The Company explores or acquires gold or other precious metal concessions through its own efforts or through the efforts of its subsidiaries.  All of the Company’s concessions are located in Tanzania.

The Company’s mineral interests in Tanzania are initially held under prospecting licenses granted pursuant to the Mining Act, 2010 (Tanzania) for a period of up to four years, and are renewable two times for a period of up to two years each.  Annual rental fees for prospecting licenses are based on the total area of the license measured in square kilometres, multiplied by US$100/sq.km for the initial period, US$150/sq.km for the first renewal and US$200/sq.km for the second renewal.  With each renewal at least 50% of the licensed area, if greater than 20 square kilometres, must be relinquished and if the Company wishes to keep the relinquished one-half portion, it must file a new application for the relinquished portion.  There is also an initial one-time “preparation fee” of US$500 per license.  Upon renewal, there is a renewal fee of US$300 per license.

Section 30 of the Mining Act states that the amount that is to be spent on prospecting operations is to be prescribed by Regulation.

Period	Minimum expenditure (US$)
Initial period (4 years)	$500 per sq km for annum
First renewal (3 years)	$1,000 per sq km for annum
Second renewal (2 years)	$2,000 per sq km for annum

Certain of the Company’s prospecting licenses are currently being renewed.

The Company assessed the carrying value of mineral properties and deferred exploration costs as at May 31, 2020 and recorded a write-down of $nil during the nine month period ended May 31, 2020 (2019 - $nil).

3.Mineral Properties and Deferred Exploration (continued) 

(a) Buckreef Gold Project: 

On December 21, 2010, the Company announced it was the successful bidder for the Buckreef Gold Mine Re-development Project in northern Tanzania (the “Buckreef Project”).  Pursuant to the agreement dated December 16, 2010, the Company paid US$3,000,000 to the State Mining Company (“Stamico”).  On October 25, 2011, a Definitive Joint Venture Agreement was entered into with Stamico for the development of the Buckreef Gold Project.  Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tanzam, the Company holds a 55% interest in the joint venture company, Buckreef Gold Company Limited, with Stamico holding the remaining 45%.  

The Company has 100% control over all aspects of the joint venture. In accordance with the joint venture agreement, the Company has to arrange financing, incur expenditures, make all decisions and operate the mine in the future. The Company’s obligations and commitments include completing a preliminary economic assessment, feasibility study and mine development. Stamico’s involvement is to contribute the licences and rights to the property and receive a 45% interest in Buckreef Project.

The joint venture agreement contains an obligation clause regarding the commissioning date for the plant. The clause becomes effective only in the event the property is not brought into production before a specified future date which was originally estimated to be in December 2015.  The Company shall be entitled to extend the date for one additional year:  

         i) for the extension year, on payment to Stamico of US$500,000;

          ii) for the second extension year, on payment to Stamico of US$625,000; and

          iii) for each subsequent extension year, on payment to Stamico of US$750,000.

The Company has received a request letter from Stamico regarding the status of the penalty payment and has responded that no penalty is due at this time.  The Company has received a subsequent letter from Stamico regarding request for payment.  It remains the Company’s position that no penalty is due at this time, but the Company and Stamico have been engaged in settlement discussions to resolve this issue, and a payment of $172,330 has been made in connection with the settlement discussions to be applied towards the amount owing with the remainder to be paid out of proceeds of production.  As at May 31, 2020 USD $306,412 remains accrued to be paid over eight instalments through April 2021.

The Company has recognized a non-controlling interest (NCI) in respect of Stamico’s 45% interest in the consolidated financial statements based on the initial payment by the Company to Stamico and will be adjusted based on annual exploration and related expenditures. Stamico has a free carried interest and does not contribute to exploration expenses.

There is a supervisory board made up of 4 directors of Tanzam and 3 directors of Stamico, whom are updated with periodic reports and review major decisions. Amounts paid to Stamico and subsequent expenditures on the property are capitalized to mineral properties or inventory for costs directly related to the extraction and processing of ore and reported under Buckreef Gold Company Limited.

(b) Kigosi: 

The Kigosi Project is principally located within the Kigosi Game Reserve controlled area.  Through prospecting and mining option agreements, the Company has options to acquire interests in several Kigosi prospecting licenses (the “Kigosi Mining License”).  The Company has an agreement with Stamico providing Stamico a 15% carried interest in the Kigosi Project.

(b) Kigosi: 

The Kigosi Mining License was granted by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of Tanzania to Tanzam, (wholly owned subsidiary of Tanzanian).  The official signing ceremony of the Kigosi Mining License was held in October 2013 and was attended by the Company and Ministry for Energy and Minerals representatives.  The area remains subject to a Game Reserve Declaration Order.  Upon repeal or amendment of that order by degazzeting the respective license by the Tanzanian government, the Company will be legally entitled to exercise its rights under the Mineral Rights and Mining Licence.

During 2019 the Company received a notice of cancellation of mining license relating to the Kigosi Mining License for failure to satisfy the issues raised in the default notice.  The Company has disagreed the notice sent by the government followed due process under Tanzanian law, as such, the Company filed an appeal to this notification.  The Company recorded a write off of $12,769,216 for the year ended August 31, 2019 related to the property pending the result of the appeal.

(c) Itetemia Project: 

Through prospecting and mining option agreements, the Company has options to acquire interests in several ltetemia property prospecting licenses.  The licenses are held by the Company; through the Company's subsidiaries, Tancan or Tanzam.  In the case of one prospecting license, Tancan acquired its interest pursuant to the Stamico Venture Agreement dated July 12, 1994, as amended June 18, 2001, July 2005, and October 13, 2008.

Stamico retains a 2% royalty interest as well as a right to earn back an additional 20% interest in the prospecting license by meeting 20% of the costs required to place the property into production.  The Company retains the right to purchase one-half of Stamico's 2% royalty interest in exchange for US$1,000,000.

The Company is required to pay Stamico an annual option fee of US$25,000 per annum until commercial production.

During 2019 the Company received a notice of rejection of the mining license application for Itetamia, for failure to have complied with regulations.  The Company disagreed the notice sent by the government followed due process under Tanzanian law, as such, the Company filed an appeal to this notification.  The Company recorded a write off of $6,059,044 for the year ended August 31, 2019 related to the property pending the result of the appeal.

(d) Luhala Project: 

The Company has selected a consultant to prepare the resource report for the Luhala Project in anticipation of filing for a Mining License for development of the site. Once funds are available the contract to engage the consultant to carry out the development work will be initiated.

During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company recorded a write off of $3,401,492 related to the property to reflect the Company’s intentions on focusing and developing the Buckreef project.

5.Capital Stock (continued) 

Warrant liability:

Foreign currency denominated warrants (not including compensation warrants), are considered a derivative as they are not indexed solely to the entity’s own stock.  

The warrant liability at May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019 relates to the outstanding balance of nil and 4,017,857 warrants, respectively, which were issued as part of the September 26, 2016 private placement and are exercisable at the option of the holder into common shares for no consideration.  This cashless exercise right is only in effect if the current market price is less than the exercise price of US$1.10.  (Note 17)

Restricted share units:

The Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the “RSU Plan”) is intended to enhance the Company’s and its affiliates’ abilities to attract and retain highly qualified officers, directors, key employees and other persons, and to motivate such officers, directors, key employees and other persons to serve the Company and its affiliates and to expend maximum effort to improve the business results and earnings of the Company, by providing to such persons an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in the operations and future success of the Company.  To this end, the RSU Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock units (RSUs).  Each RSU represents an entitlement to one common share of the Company, upon vesting.  Under the RSU Plan, a maximum of 2,500,000 shares are authorized for issuance. RSU awards may, but need not, be subject to performance incentives to reward attainment of annual or long-term performance goals in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.  Any such performance goals are specified in the award agreement.

The Board of Directors implemented the RSU Plan under which officers, directors, employees and others are compensated for their services to the Company.  Annual compensation for outside directors is $68,750 per year, plus $6,875 per year for serving on Committees, plus $3,437 per year for serving as Chair of a Committee.  On April 11, 2012, the board approved that at the election of each individual director, up to one half of the annual compensation may be received in cash, paid quarterly.  The remainder of the director’s annual compensation (at least one half, and up to 100%) will be awarded as RSUs in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and shall vest within a minimum of one (1) year and a maximum of three (3) years, at the election of the director, subject to the conditions of the RSU Plan with respect to earlier vesting.   In 2012, the outside directors had the option to elect to receive 100% of their compensation in RSUs.  If 100% compensation in RSUs is elected, the compensation on which the number of RSUs granted in excess of the required one half shall be increased by 20%.

The Company uses the fair value method to recognize the obligation and compensation expense associated with the RSU’s. The fair value of RSU’s issued is determined on the grant date based on the market price of the common shares on the grant date multiplied by the number of RSUs granted. The fair value is expensed over the vesting term. Upon redemption of the RSU the carrying amount is recorded as an increase in common share capital and a reduction in the share based payment reserve.

Of the 2,500,000 shares authorized for issuance under the RSU Plan, 2,500,000 (August 31, 2019 - 2,500,000) shares have been issued as at May 31, 2020.

Stock options:

The Company has a stock option plan (the “Plan”) under which the Company may grant options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The maximum number of common shares reserved for issue under the Plan at any point in time may not exceed 10% of the number of shares issued and outstanding.  The purpose of the Plan is to attract, retain and motivate directors, officers, employees, and certain third party service providers by providing them with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and benefit from its growth. Options granted under the Plan are non-assignable and vest over various terms up to 24 months from the date of grant.  As at May 31, 2020, the Company had 9,831,391 (August 31, 2019 – 7,687,155) options available for issuance under the Plan.  

The continuity of outstanding stock options for the nine month period ended May 31, 2020 and year ended August 31, 2019 is as follows:

9. Management of Capital (continued) 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. 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 defines capital to include its shareholders’ equity. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. 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 nine month period ended May 31, 2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company considers its capital to be shareholders’ equity, which is comprised of share capital, reserves, and deficit, which as at May 31, 2020 totaled $23,049,164 (August 31, 2019 - $17,782,274).  

The Company raises capital, as necessary, to meet its needs and take advantage of perceived opportunities and, therefore, does not have a numeric target for its capital structure.  Funds are primarily secured through equity capital raised by way of private placements, however, debt and other financing alternatives may be utilized as well.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue raising equity capital in this manner.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.  

The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate operational needs in short term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash, and short term guarantee deposits, all held with major Canadian financial institutions and Canadian treasury deposits.

10. Financial Instruments 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and derivatives are classified as fair value through profit and loss, Trade and Other Receivables are measured at amortized cost.  Trade and other payables, leases payable, convertible loans and gold bullion loans are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.  Fair value of trade and other payables and convertible loans are determined from transaction values that are not based on observable market data.  

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, other receivables, trade and other payables approximate their fair value due to the relatively short term nature of these instruments.  

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments.  These estimates are subject to and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. 

The Company classifies its financial instruments carried at fair value according to a three level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended May 31, 2020 and 2019

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

10. Financial Instruments (continued) 

·Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 

·Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly;  

·Level 3 – Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data 

As at May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, cash is recorded at fair value under level 1 within the fair value hierarchy and the derivatives in the gold bullion loans are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 20 for further information on the fair value of the derivatives in the gold bullion loans.

The carrying value of cash, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, leases payable, convertible loans and gold bullion loans approximate fair value because of the limited terms of these instruments.  

A summary of the Company's risk exposures as they relate to financial instruments are reflected below:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company is subject to credit risk on the cash balances at the bank and accounts and other receivables and the carrying value of those accounts represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.  The Company’s cash and short-term bank investments are with Schedule 1 banks or equivalents.  The other receivables consist primarily of amounts due from government taxation authorities.  The Company has not recorded an impairment or allowance for credit risk as at May 31, 2020, or August 31, 2019.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate.  The Company’s bank accounts earn interest income at variable rates.  The bullion loan carries a fixed rate of interest.  The Company’s future interest income is exposed to changes in short-term rates.  As at May 31, 2020, a 1% increase/decrease in interest rates would decrease/increase net loss for the period by approximately $14,000 (2019 - $12,000).

Liquidity Risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due.  As at May 31, 2020, the Company had current assets of $2,542,516 (August 31, 2019 - $4,135,316) and current liabilities of $20,550,432 (August 31, 2019 - $14,531,286). All of the Company’s trade payables and receivables have contractual maturities of less than 90 days and are subject to normal trade terms.  Current working capital deficiency of the Company is $18,007,916 (August 31, 2019 - $10,395,970).  The Company will require additional financing in order to conduct its planned work programs on mineral properties and the development and construction of the Buckreef Project, meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due.  

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates.  The Company has offices in Canada, USA, and Tanzania, but holds cash mainly in Canadian and United States currencies.  A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to US dollar and Tanzanian shillings could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.  At May 31, 2020, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates.  As a majority of the transactions of the Company are denominated in US and Tanzanian Shilling currencies, a 10% movement in the foreign exchange rate will have an impact of approximate $1,509,000 on the statements of comprehensive loss.

13. Trade, other payables and accrued liabilities 

Trade and other payables of the Company are principally comprised of amounts outstanding for trade purchases relating to exploration activities and payroll liabilities.  The usual credit period taken for trade purchases is between 30 to 90 days.

16. Segmented information  

Operating Segments

At May 31, 2020 the Company’s operations comprise of a single reporting operating segment engaged in mineral exploration in Tanzania.  The Company’s corporate division only earns interest revenue that is considered incidental to the activities of the Company and therefore does not meet the definition of an operating segment as defined in IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’. As the operations comprise a single reporting segment, amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements also represent operating segment amounts.

An operating segment is defined as a component of the Company:

• that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;

• whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s chief operating decision maker; and

• for which discrete financial information is available.

17. Commitments and Contingencies 

Commitments:

In order to maintain the existing site of mining and exploration licenses, the Company is required to pay annual license fees. The Company has not paid certain of its annual license fees since October 2014 with exception of Buckreef mining licenses. As at May 31, 2020 an accrual of $347,000 (August 31, 2019 - $680,000) has been recorded relating to unpaid license fees and resultant penalties. These licenses remain in good standing until a letter of demand is received from Ministry of Energy and Minerals requesting payment of any unpaid license fees plus 50% penalty, and the Company fails to respond within 30 days. The Company has not received a letter of demand. The potential penalty relating to unpaid license fees is approximately $116,000 (August 31, 2019 - $211,000). The Company has recorded an accrual for all valid and active mining licenses.

Contingencies:

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal, tax, environmental and regulatory matters are outstanding from time to time. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events.

17. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

On January 19, 2018, Crede CG III, LTD (“Crede”) filed suit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, claiming, among other things, breach of contract for failure to allow Crede to exercise 1,300,000 Series A Warrants to acquire 3,100,751 common shares.  The Series A Warrants were issued, along with Series B Warrants (the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, collectively “Warrants), in connection with a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on September 1, 2016.  In response to the complaint, the Company’s attorneys initiated correspondence with Crede’s attorneys regarding Crede’s January 19, 2018 complaint.  On February 27, 2018, Crede dismissed its complaint against the Company without prejudice. On March 12, 2018, Crede filed suit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (Index No. 651156/2018) (“State Claim”), claiming breach of contract (including specific performance and injunctive relief); declaratory judgment that the Securities Purchase Agreement and Warrants are binding obligations; and, in the event injunctive and declaratory relief was not ordered, awarding compensatory and punitive damages, and attorney fees and costs for failure to allow Crede to exercise 500,000 Series B Warrants to acquire 1,332,222 common shares. On June 20, 2019, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York granted summary judgment to Crede on its December 3, 2018, motion for specific performance for the issuance of 1,332,222 common shares pursuant to the Series B Warrants and declaratory relief that the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Warrants are valid. On August 21, 2019, the Company filed a notice of appeal and sought a stay of the summary judgement order in the State Claim pending appeal. On February 4, 2020, the Appellate Division, First Judicial Department, Supreme Court of the State of New York affirmed the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York’s granting of summary judgment to Crede under the Securities Purchase Agreement and Warrants.  On or around February 11, 2020, the Company filed an appeal of the Appellate Division’s February 4, 2020 decision which was subsequently denied.  In February and May of 2020, Crede exercised its remaining 3,517,857 series B Warrants and the Company issued 5,434,896 common shares, in the aggregate, to them.  After these exerxises, Crede no longer has outstanding Warrants.

On May 10, 2018, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court Southern District of New York (Case No. 18–Civ-4201) (“Federal Claim”) against Crede and certain of its principals, and others, alleging, among other things, violation of certain acts under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (“Exchange Act”).  On March 26, 2019, the District Court dismissed certain of our claims against the defendants, but allowed certain claims under Exchange Act for market manipulation and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing by Crede to continue.  On May 28, 2020, we filed a second amended complaint in the Federal Court alleging, among other things, that Crede and certain of its principals manipulated the price of the Company’s common shares, breached the September 1, 2016 registration rights agreement entered into with the Company, and violated Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  The Federal Claim is in its initial stage and limited discovery has been initiated. 

18.Asset Retirement Obligation 

The Company's asset retirement obligation relates to the cost of removing and restoring of the Buckreef Project in Tanzania.  Significant reclamation and closure activities include land rehabilitation, demolition of buildings and mine facilities, ongoing care and maintenance and other costs.  This estimate depends on the development of environmentally acceptable mine closure plan.

A reconciliation for asset retirement obligations is as follows:
	May 31, 2020	August 31, 2019
Balance, beginning of period/year	$ 737,404	$ 726,143
Accretion expense	8,580	11,261
