1. Nature of Operations

Quaterra Resources Inc. (“Quaterra” or the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on May 11, 1993. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and traded at OTCQX Markets. The principal address of the Company is 1199 West Hastings Street, Suite 1100, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3T5.

The Company is a copper exploration and development company with the primary objective to advance its U.S. subsidiary’s copper projects in the Yerington District, Nevada, United States.

On June 30, 2016, the Company concluded the previously announced sale of its 50% interest in the Nieves project, Mexico, with the payment of the final $1.0 million tranche received (Note 3(b)).

On June 13, 2016, the Company announced that Freeport-McMoRan Nevada LLC (“Freeport Nevada”) had extended the current Stage 2 of the Membership Interest Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) for up to two years by making option payments totaling $5.75 million (Note 3(a)).

On January 15, 2016, the Company sold its 100% owned Mexican subsidiary, Minera Agua Tierra S.A. de C.V. to a private Mexican entity for gross proceeds of $500,000. $342,661 was received in January 2016 after tax deduction and transaction costs.

The Company defers all acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs related to the properties on which it is conducting exploration. The underlying value and the recoverability of the amounts recorded as mineral properties is entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves and the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary funding to complete the exploration activities of its mineral properties, or upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on a profitable basis. The carrying value of the Company’s mineral properties does not reflect current or future values.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company no longer holds any interest in assets in Mexico.

  c) Herbert Gold Property, Alaska

The Company acquired a 100% interest in Herbert Gold property through an option agreement in November 2007, and entered into a joint venture agreement with Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (“Grande Portage”), a publicly listed company on TSX-V, in October 2011. In June 2012 Grande Portage earned its 65% interest in the property by spending $1.25 million in exploration according to the joint venture agreement, and the Company owned the remaining 35% since then.

On July 14, 2016, the Company announced the sale of its 35% interest in the Herbert Gold property to Grande Portage for a consideration of 1,182,331 common shares of Grande Portage. In anticipation of this transaction, the Company recorded a $1.45 million impairment on June 30, 2016.

On July 29, 2016, the Company completed the sale and received those Grande Portage shares with a fair value of $163,005. As a result, $80,625 gain was recognized in the net loss at closing of the transaction.

These shares are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair market value determined by reference to their closing share price at each reporting date. Any fair value gain or loss is recognized in the other comprehensive income (loss) at each reporting date.

  d) Other Non-Core Assets

On October 3, 2014, Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Inc. (“FMMP”) acquired the remaining interests in three of the Company’s mineral properties for $5 million and 19 million share purchase warrants. $1.0 million was received on Oct 3, 2014, the remaining $4.0 million was payable in $500,000 tranches every three months commenced January 1, 2015. The Company discounted the value of the $5 million at 5% and accretes interest to income on the effective interest method.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company received $1.5 million and accrued $79,788 interest income related to the receivable. Subsequent to the quarter end, the final tranche of $500,000 was received and the 19 million warrants were fully vested on October 4, 2016.

As of September 30, 2016, $34,324 Reveille gold property was written off due to its inactive status with no foreseeable exploration plan.

4. Loan Payable

On May 8, 2015, the Company entered into a $500,000 secured note (“Loan Payable”) with Freeport Nevada in order to facilitate a real property interest acquisition within the Bear Deposit.

The Loan Payable bears a simple interest at a rate of 5% per annum and is due 180 days following written notice of termination of the Option Agreement by Freeport Nevada. The Company can extend the 180 days by paying an extension fee of 5% of the outstanding principal and provided the interest accrued does exceed $100,000.

In the event Freeport Nevada elects to enter Stage 3 of the Option Agreement, the $500,000 may be credited to the Freeport Nevada future funding obligation.

5. Convertible Notes

On July 2, 2014, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 500 units for gross proceeds of $500,000. Each unit was priced at $1,000 and comprised of one non-transferable convertible redeemable promissory note (“Note”) and 11,442 non-transferable warrants. Each warrant entitles the holders to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of CAD$0.16 per share until January 2, 2017 (extended), subject to an acceleration provision.

The Notes bear a simple interest rate of 10% per annum. Interest may be paid in cash or shares at the option of the Company, subject to any required exchange approvals in the case of share payments.

The Notes provide the following terms as to conversion or redemption:

  (i)

The outstanding principal amount of each Note may be converted by the Note holder into common shares of the Company at the rate of CAD$0.10 per share at any time until maturity.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016
(Unaudited - in U.S. Dollars; tabular amounts in thousands except for shares and per share amounts)
 

  (ii)

The Notes automatically convert into common shares at CAD$0.10 per share in the event the closing price of the shares is CAD$0.12 or higher for 10 consecutive trading days.

     
  (iii)

The Company may, prior to conversion, redeem the principal amount of the notes outstanding by paying to the holders the principal amount of the Notes together with interest in cash at the rate of 15% per annum calculated to the date of such redemption.

The conversion feature in the notes is an embedded derivative liability requiring separate accounting (Note 6). At inception, the notes were recorded at a fair value of $298,000 and will be accreted to their face value over time at an effective interest rate of 35%.

6. Derivative Liability

Derivative liability includes conversion feature for the notes and share purchase warrants issued with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency. As such they are classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value and are re-measured each reporting period with all changes recorded as a component of net loss.

In connection with the convertible note issued on July 2, 2014, and an Asset Purchase Agreement with FMMP on October 3, 2014, the Company issued 5.721 million and 19 million share purchase warrants to the holders. As these warrants are either exercisable in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency, or the number of shares to be issued upon exercising are subject to foreign exchange fluctuation, they are classified as derivative liabilities and carried at fair value. The warrants are therefore required to be revalued at each reporting date.

As of September 30, 2016, the derivative liabilities were revalued at the weighted average assumptions: volatility of 116%, expected term of 1.2 year, discount rate of 0.54% and dividend yield of 0%.

The following table sets out the changes in derivative liability:

      Number of     Fair value  
      Warrants     assigned ($)  
  At December 31, 2014   48,810,000     1,293

Technical Information

The technical information contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Thomas Patton Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and a non-independent “qualified person” as defined in NI 43-101.

Summary for the nine months ended September 30, 2016

In August 2015, the Company’s subsidiary Singatse Peak Services LLC (“SPS”) commenced an exploration drilling program at the Bear deposit – a large porphyry copper system – located on the Company’s 51-square-mile property in the historic Yerington Copper District of Nevada. The program has been funded by Freeport-McMoRan Nevada LLC (“Freeport Nevada”) in terms of an option agreement whereby Freeport Nevada can acquire an initial 55% interest in SPS by spending $40.75 million in three stages starting in June 2014.

From June 2015 to September 2016, Freeport Nevada provided $8.4 million in funds to SPS with SPS receiving $3.825 million during the first nine months of 2016. These funds have been used for exploration at the Bear Deposit, geophysical surveys, geologic mapping as well as land, water and minerals rights maintenance, compliance with environmental law and general administrative expenditures.

The six-hole 2015 and 2016 exploration program totaled 20,274.5 feet of drilling. The five holes drilled at Bear, including twin hole B-048, totaled 18,257 feet. Results from Hole B-048 supported historic assays from Hole 23B drilled in 1966 by the Anaconda Mining Company. Drilling results from holes B-049 to B-052 were successful in extending the Bear mineralization an additional 2,000 feet north-northeast by 3,000 feet northwest-southeast, with the average mineralized intercept in these four step-out holes averaging approximately 1,000 feet in thickness. The Bear system remains open in three directions. Copper mineralization is overlain by ubiquitous propylitic alteration with moderate to strong phyllic alteration, often laced with tourmaline veining and flooding. Significantly higher grades, if present, will most likely be found where quartz monzonite is cut by quartz monzonite porphyry dikes as occurs at the nearby Yerington mine. The Bear porphyry copper deposit currently covers more than two square miles.

For details of drill results for individual holes reported during the nine months to September 30, 2106, please see press releases dated February 8, 2016 (Hole B-050), April 6, 2016 (Hole B-051), May 24, 2016 (Hole B-052), and June 9, 2016 (Hole GHH-001) on the Company website. The results of two previous holes, B-048 and B-049, were announced on November 17 and December 23, 2015 respectively, and are also available on the Company website.

On April 15, 2016, Quaterra announced that Gerald Prosalendis had been named President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. To accommodate this appointment, Thomas Patton resigned as President while retaining the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

On June 13, 2016, Quaterra and SPS announced they had reached an agreement with Freeport Nevada to extend the current Stage 2 of Freeport Nevada’s option to acquire an interest in the Company’s Yerington Copper Project for up to two years by Freeport Nevada making option payments totaling $5.75 million.

In terms of this amended agreement, Stage 2 of Freeport Nevada’s earn-in option, which commenced in June last year, can be extended for up to four additional periods of six months each by Freeport Nevada making the following payments to SPS: $1.8 million on June 13, 2016 (received); $1.25 million on December 13, 2016; $1.35 million on June 13, 2017; and $1.35 on December 13, 2017. SPS intends to use these Freeport Nevada’s option payments for property maintenance, G&A and environmental compliance at Yerington. Freeport Nevada has the right to terminate the agreement at any time with 60 days’ notice.

During the two-year extension period, SPS may propose special exploration programs, including work plans and budgets, to be undertaken with Freeport Nevada’s agreement under an annual drilling program. These programs will be funded by Freeport Nevada, at its discretion, through accelerated option payments. The Stage 2 extension option payments and any accelerated option payments will reduce the payments required for Freeport Nevada to earn its initial 55% interest in SPS.

SPS is currently working on identifying and prioritizing targets for the next phase of exploration and drilling. This work includes assessing data from the 2015-16 drill program, geophysical surveys and geologic mapping to locate potential open-pitable targets and possible areas of higher-grade mineralization on the Company’s 51-square mile Yerington land package. Work plans and budgets for a drill program are being compiled and will be presented to Freeport Nevada for assessment and consideration.

On July 14, 2016, Quaterra announced the sale of its remaining 35% participating interest in the Herbert Glacier project, Alaska, to its joint venture partner Grande Portage Resources Ltd (“Grande Portage”). On closing, Grande Portage issued to Quaterra 1,182,331 shares, equal to 9% of its issued and outstanding common shares. In addition, Grande Portage will allot and deliver to Quaterra within five business days of a financing or financings totaling up to $1 million that number of additional shares required to maintain Quaterra’s interest at 9%. Grand Portage will also pay Quaterra $250,000 within 90 days of receipt of a feasibility report for the property or in event of a change of control or sale. Grande Portage will assume any and all obligations related to Quaterra’s participating interest under the JV agreement.

Also on July 14, 2016, Quaterra reported that the previously announced sale of its 50% interest in the Nieves project, Mexico, has been concluded with payment of the final $1.0 million tranche owing to Quaterra by Blackberry Ventures, I LLC on June 30, 2016. Quaterra no longer holds any interest in assets in Mexico.

The Herbert Glacier and Nieves transactions represent the conclusion of Quaterra’s previously announced strategy to dispose of all non-core assets. The funds raised from these efforts will continue to provide Quaterra with the resources to focus its efforts on exploring and developing its assets in the historic copper district of Yerington, Nevada. For the past two years, SPS has been able to conduct among others, a six-hole exploration drilling campaign, geophysical surveys, desktop studies and groundwork at Yerington without any dilution to Quaterra shareholders or in the project. The Company’s efforts at Yerington are ongoing, and include identifying compelling targets for the next phase of drilling and assessing the over-all development potential at Yerington.

On September 9, 2016, via publication in the Federal Register, the EPA proposed 10 new sites for the National priorities List (“NPL”). The Anaconda Copper Mine in Yerington Nevada was one of those ten sites proposed for listing. EPA has proposed to list the entire Site despite the fact that there is a responsible party, Atlantic Richfield Company, which has and continues to perform its obligations at the Site. SPS has a ‘Covenant Not to Sue’ with the EPA, and believes it qualifies for the ‘Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser Defense’ to CERCLA liability. The existing contamination at the Site, other than that for which EPA seeks the listing is the responsibility of the Atlantic Richfield Company which has been working with EPA to study the contamination, design remedial activities and implement remediation at the Site. SPS’s current work program at the Bear is not affected by the recent EPA proposed listing of the Site. Also, SPS does not believe that an NPL listing precludes advancing mineral exploration and development at the Site. Only the Yerington Mine Site falls within the area of the proposed NPL listing; the Company’s other targets in the district occur outside the area of the proposed listing.

On October 4, Quaterra received a final payment of $500,000 from Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties LLC (“FMMP”) in terms of a 2014 agreement whereby FMMP acquired the remaining interests in three of the Company’s non-core copper and molybdenum properties for $5 million. In terms of the agreement $1.0 million was paid on closing and the balance was payable in tranches of $500,000 every quarter for eight consecutive quarters commencing January 1, 2015. As of October 4, the full total of $5.0 million has been received from FMMP, with no further funds owing.

On October 14, 2016, Quaterra announced that, at the request of the Company, its former auditor, Smythe LLP (“Smythe”), resigned as auditor effective October 7, 2016, and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) had been appointed as the successor auditor effective the same day. In accordance with National Instrument 51-102 (“NI 51-102”), the Company has filed a Change of Auditor Notice on SEDAR, together with letters from Smythe and PwC, each confirming that it is in agreement with the statements contained in the notice, as applicable. There were no reportable events as defined in NI 51-102 between Smythe and the Company.

Review of Operations and Financial Results

During three months ended September 2016, the Company incurred a loss of $0.427 million, year-to-date $1.53 million, compared to a $0.342 million loss (year-to-date $2.4 million) in the same period of 2015. Q3 2016 is affected by impairment, gain on disposal of assets, and the fair value calculations on derivative liability for both quarters.

Excluding non-cash items, year to date general administrative expenses decreased by $217,000 mainly due to the reduction in personnel costs which were partially offset by higher administration and general office expense due to the expensing of insurance premium paid in 2016.

As part of the continued effort to focus on its copper assets in Nevada, the Company concluded the sale of its 50% interest in the Nieves project, Mexico, with receipt of the final $1.0 million tranche owing to Quaterra by Blackberry Ventures, I LLC on June 30, 2016 and disposed of its Mexican subsidiary for gross proceeds of $500,000 in January 2016. The Company is no longer operating in Mexico.

Quarterly Information Trends

The Company’s results have been largely driven by the level of its property holding costs, exploration activities and recoveries from partners. The Company has had no revenue from mining operations since its inception. Major variations in costs are summarized below:

  • Significant increases and decreases quarter to quarter in the Company’s stock price can have a significant impact on the value of the derivative liabilities issued by the Company in conjunction with debt and equity instruments.
  • The gain or loss on disposal of mineral properties is dependent on the negotiated sales proceeds and can vary significantly from property to property.
  • Foreign exchange gains and losses arise because the Company conducts certain of its activities and holds financial assets in U.S. Dollars and Canadian dollars, and reports its financial results in U.S. Dollars.
  • Share-based payments can vary widely from quarter to quarter based on the timing, amount and tenure of stock option awards.
  • Interest earned and financing costs vary based on the timing, type and amount of debt and equity placements and resultant fluctuations in cash.

The following table sets out the quarterly financial information for each of the last eight quarters:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, Quaterra has been dependent on equity, joint venture partners’ contribution and proceeds from disposal of certain mineral properties for funding. As of November 10, 2016, cash on hand plus short-term investments are $6 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred $4.45 million expenditures on mineral properties, received a total of $3.825 million under the Option Agreement with Freeport Nevada, $1.5 million from the none-core asset sale agreement with FMMP, and $1.0 million from the final tranche of the Nieves sale agreement with Blackberry entered into in 2014.

The funds received under the Option Agreement have been primarily used in the Bear Deposit drilling program, Yerington Assets option payments, mineral claim maintenance, and general administrative support.

Funds received from assets sales have been used in working capital for corporate activities and expenses.

With the cash on hand, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to maintain its operations in the next 12 months.

The Company has a $500,000 convertible note due on January 2, 2017. The outstanding principal may be converted by the note holder at rate of CAD$0.10 per share at any time until maturity. The Company borrowed $500,000 from Freeport Nevada bearing an interest rate of 5%. In the event Freeport Nevada terminates the Option Agreement, the $500,000 along with interest is due 180 days after such a termination notice from Freeport Nevada.

Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities were incurred at market rates with arm’s length third party suppliers, primarily for goods and services related to the Company’s exploration of its Yerington Assets, and also for professional fees and other overhead expenses incurred in the normal course of operations. The Company is not aware of any contingencies as at September 30, 2016.

Related Party Information and Commitments

Manex is a private company controlled by the Corporate Secretary of the Company. It provides head office premises at CAD$8,000 per month and general corporate services to the Company at CAD$5,000 per month expiring August 31, 2017. The Company may cancel the corporate services with a 30-day notice while the office space requires a payment of the lesser of CAD$96,000 or the remaining term of the service agreement.

Changes in Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

The significant accounting policies applied in preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Note 2 of the Company’s 2015 audited consolidated financial statements. Adoptions of new standards and amendments to existing standards have had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or financial performance.

Critical accounting estimates remain the same as disclosed in the 2015 audited annual consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments

The Company has designated its cash and cash equivalents, amounts dues, short-term investments, marketable securities, reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable and derivative liabilities as financial instruments.

Derivative liability is measured at fair value and categorized in Level 3. The fair value of the derivative liability is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as determined at the reporting date. The rest of the financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of the reclamation bonds approximate their fair values, as these balances are redeemable on demand.

Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from financial instruments.
