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 1015 - 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: EMR”), the OTC Markets (“OTC: EMGCF”) and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FRA: EMLM”).
 
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; while the Company was successful in raising additional subsequent to September 30, 2018 (note 13 a), there can be no assurance such financing will be available 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.
 
As at September 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit (rounded to the nearest thousands) of $550,000 (December 31, 2017 - $469,000) and accumulated deficit of $52,215,902 (December 31, 2017 - $ 51,494,000).

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, together with the comparative figures herein 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required of a full annual financial report and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period. It is therefore recommended that these condensed interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the most recent year ended December 31, 2017.
 
3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Preparation
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, except for financial instruments measured at their fair value. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted.
 
Basis of Consolidation
 
These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries:
 
● Idaho-Maryland Mining Corporation
● Emgold (US) Corporation
 
Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Significant Estimates and Assumptions
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions concerning the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
 
Estimates where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the fair value measurements for financial instruments.
 
Significant Judgments
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in applying the Company’s financial statements include:
 
the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty.
the estimation of the fair value of reclamation liability.
 
4.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AND RISK MEASUREMENT
 
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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 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.

EMGOLD MINING CORPORATION
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
US Dollars
(Unaudited)
 
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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 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 September 30, 2018 the Company held $11,000 (December 31, 2017 - $13,000) denominated in US Dollars and $171,200 (December 31, 2017 - $6,000) denominated in Canadian Dollars.

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.

Emgold has a 7.13-acre parcel of land located in Nevada County that was part of the Company’s former Idaho-Maryland Project, which is currently listed for sale.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
 
The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts 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 September 30, 2018.
