Management’s Responsibility
 
To the Shareholders of Emgold Mining Corporation:
 
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required.
 
In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of financial statements.
 
The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee are composed primarily of Directors who are neither management nor employees of the Company. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities, and for approving the financial information presented. The Board fulfils these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and the external auditors. The Audit Committee has the responsibility of meeting with management, and the external auditors to discuss the internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues. The Board is also responsible for recommending the appointment of the Company’s external auditors.
 
We draw attention to Note 1 in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company’s independent auditor has not performed a review of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1)
Nature of operations and going concern
 
Emgold Mining Corporation (“the Company” or “Emgold”) is incorporated under the British Columbia Corporations Act and the principle place of business is located at 1010 - 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1H2. The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company’s shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and the OTC.
 
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company’s ability to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
 
There are several adverse conditions that cast substantial doubt upon the soundness of this assumption. The Company has negative working capital, has incurred operating losses since inception, has no source of significant revenue at this time, is unable to self-finance operations, and has significant on-going cash needs to meet its overhead requirements and maintain its exploration and evaluation assets. Further, the business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current or future exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon several factors, which 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 mineral properties.
 
For the Company to continue to operate as a going concern it must obtain additional financing; there can be no assurance that this will continue in the future.
 
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used, and such adjustments could be material.

2)
Basis of preparation – Statement of Compliance
 
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
 
Since the condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all requirements in IAS1, “Presentation of Financial Statement” (IAS1), they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. Critical estimates and judgement are disclosed more fully in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
 
3)
Summary of significant accounting policies
 
The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in preparing these Financial Statements are the same as those followed in preparing the most recent audited annual financial statements. For a summary of significant accounting policies, please refer to the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
 
4)
Financial instruments and risk management
 
a)
Financial instrument classification and measurement
 
Financial instruments of the Company carried on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are carried at amortized cost with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which is carried at fair value. There are no significant differences between the carrying value of financial instruments and their estimated fair values as at 31 March 2018 and 31 December 2017.
 
The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy.
 
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments.
 
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
 
Level 3 – valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
 
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents have been assessed on the fair value hierarchy described above and classified as Level 1. There have been no changes between levels during the period.
 
b)
Fair values of financial assets and liabilities
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, reclamation bonds, assets held for sale, due to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At 31 March 2018 and 31 December 2017, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is fair value. Amounts receivable, due to related parties deposits and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

c)
Market risk
 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. The Company is not exposed to significant market risk.
 
d)
Credit risk
 
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its bank accounts. The Company’s bank accounts are held with major banks in Canada, accordingly the Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.
 
e)
Interest rate risk
 
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses that arise as a result of changes in contracted interest rates. The Company is nominally exposed to interest rate risk.
 
f)
Currency risk
 
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. To manage this risk the Company maintains only the minimum amount of foreign cash required to fund its on-going exploration expenditures. The Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk. At 31 March 2018 the Company held currency totalling the following:

 $12,000 
  13,000 
 
g)
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. As the Company has no significant source of cash flows this is a significant risk.

After meeting its exploration requirements, should RMC subsequently elect to drop the property or decide not to advance it, the property will be returned to Emgold. Should Emgold subsequently advance the property into production, RMC shall then be entitled to the same type of Bonus Payments as contemplated in 7 above.
 
Under the terms of the lease agreement, RMC was to complete $500,000 in exploration related expenditures on the property by the third anniversary or 01 June 2016. However, as at 01 June 2016, RMC has completed US$325,000 in exploration activities on the property.
 
On 01 June 2016, RMC and Emgold mutually agreed to amend the original Lease Agreement whereby RMC would pay Emgold US$175,000, in seven quarterly payments of US$25,000, starting 01 June 2016, to keep the Lease Agreement in good standing. These payments will be in lieu of completing the additional US$175,000 in exploration work required in the original Lease Agreement. The proceeds of these payments would be used by Emgold for general working capital. Payments of $25,000 each were completed for 01 June 2016, 01 September 2016, 01 December 2016, and 01 March 2017, 01 June 2017, 01 September 2017, and 01 December 2017 respectively. In addition, Emgold received the $10,000 annual advance royalty payment for the Buckskin Rawhide Property from RMC, due 01 June 2018.

Capital disclosures
 
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 and exploration 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 that it manages as share capital.
 
Management reviews its capital management approach on an on-going basis and believes that this approach is reasonable and appropriate relative to the size of the Company.
 
The Company is in the business of mineral exploration and has no source of operating revenue. Operations are financed through the issuance of capital stock or liability instruments, or through the sale of property, plant, and equipment. Capital raised is held in cash in an interest bearing bank account until such time as it is required to pay operating expenses or resource property costs. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital restrictions. Its objectives in managing its capital are to safeguard its cash and its ability to continue as a going concern, and to utilize as much of its available capital as possible for exploration activities. The Company’s objectives have not changed during the period ended 31 March 2018.
