Consolidated Financial Statements

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting

The accompanying annual consolidated financial statements of Quaterra Resources Inc. have been prepared by management and are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation and presentation of the annual consolidated financial statements; has established and maintained a system of internal accounting control designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use, financial information is reliable and accurate, and transactions are properly recorded and executed under management’s authorization. This system includes established policies and procedures, the selection and training of qualified personnel, and an organization providing for appropriate delegation of authority and segregation of responsibilities. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance for financial statement preparation and presentation.

The Board of Directors oversees management’s responsibility for financial reporting and internal control systems through an Audit Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors. The Audit Committee meets periodically with management and the independent auditors to review the scope and results of the annual audit and to review the consolidated financial statements and related financial reporting and internal control matters before the consolidated financial statements are approved by the Board of Directors and submitted to the Company’s shareholders.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements under Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and has expressed its opinion in the independent auditor’s report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Quaterra Resources Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Quaterra Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2019

(In U.S. Dollars, tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share amount)

 
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY RISK
   
 

Quaterra Resources Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Quaterra” or the “Company”) is a copper exploration company working on its mineral properties located in Nevada and Alaska, United States. The Company is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Its head office is located at 1100 - 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3T5. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “QTA” and trade on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “QTRRF”.

The Company acquires its mineral properties by way of option or lease agreements and defers all acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs related to the properties. The underlying value of the amounts recorded as mineral properties does not reflect current or future values. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the economic recoverability of mineral reserves and its ability to acquire new properties and obtain funding to complete exploration activities.

These consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had working capital of $1,320,000, and along with the proceeds from its ongoing water rights sale (note 4(b)), the Company believes that it has sufficient funds to sustain its operations for at least the next 12 months. However, as the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak (note 16) is yet to be fully determined it may have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods.

   
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   
  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared following International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
   
  a) Basis of presentation and consolidation
     
   

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for marketable securities and derivative financial liabilities, which are stated at their fair values.

The Company consolidates an entity when it has power over that entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with that entity and can affect those returns through its power over that entity. All material intercompany transactions, balances and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Quaterra and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Quaterra Alaska Inc., Singatse Peak Services, LLC (“SPS”), and Six Mile Mining Company.

     
  b) Accounting estimates and judgments
     
   

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies, reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Judgment is required in assessing whether certain factors would be considered an indicator of impairment. Both internal and external information is considered to determine whether there is an indicator of impairment present and, accordingly, whether impairment testing is required.

Quaterra Resources Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2019

(In U.S. Dollars, tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share amount)

 
    The critical judgments that have been made that may have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements are related to the economic recoverability of its mineral properties, the determination of functional currency, and the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.
     
  c) Translation of foreign currencies
     
   

The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “USD”). The functional currency of the Company and its significant subsidiaries is the USD.

In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency (“foreign currencies”) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the period end foreign exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of loss.

     
  d) Mineral properties
     
   

Direct costs related to the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties held or controlled by the Company are capitalized on an individual property basis until the property transitions to the development stage, is sold, abandoned, or determined to be impaired. Administration costs and general exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company classifies its mineral properties as exploration and evaluation assets until the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable. At this point, the carrying value of the mineral properties is tested for impairment and subsequently transferred to property and equipment. The establishment of technical feasibility and commercial viability of a mineral property is assessed based on a combination of factors, such as the extent of established mineral reserves, the results of feasibility and technical evaluations, and the status of mineral leases or permits.

Proceeds from the sale of properties, property water rights or cash proceeds received from farm-out option agreements are recorded as a reduction of the related mineral property, with any excess proceeds accounted for in net income (loss).

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers, or title may be affected by undetected defects.

     
  e) Impairment
     
   

The Company’s assets are reviewed for the indication of impairment at each reporting date in accordance with IFRS 6 – Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is undertaken, being the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. If the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of loss.

Mineral properties are assessed for impairment if (i) the right to explore the area has expired or will expire in the near future with no expectation of renewal; (ii) Substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the area is neither planned nor budgeted; (iii) No commercially viable deposits have been discovered, and the decision had been made to discontinue exploration in the area; and (iv) Sufficient work has been performed to indicate that the carrying amount of the expenditure carried as an asset will not be fully recovered.

Quaterra Resources Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2019

(In U.S. Dollars, tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share amount)

 
    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 this does not exceed the original carrying amount that if no impairment loss had been recognized.
     
  f) Share-based compensation
     
    The fair value of stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants is calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model and is expensed over the vesting periods. If and when the stock options are exercised, the value attributable to the stock options is transferred to share capital.
     
  g) Cash and cash equivalents
     
    Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less.
     
  h) Financial instruments
     
    Financial instruments are recognized in the statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to a contractual obligation. At initial recognition, the Company classifies and measures its financial instruments as one of the following:

    at amortized cost, if they are held to collect contractual cash flows which solely represent payments of principal and interest;
    at fair value, through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) if they are held to both collect contractual cash flows and to sell where those cash flows represent payments of principal and interest solely;
    otherwise, they are classified at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”).
       
   

Financial assets are classified and measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in either profit and loss as they arise unless restrictive criteria are met for classifying and measuring the asset at either amortized cost or FVOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized costs unless they are elected to be or required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss.

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred, and the Company has transferred all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligations specified in the contract are discharged, cancelled, or expire.

At each reporting date, the Company uses the expected credit losses model to assess the impairment of its financial assets measured at amortized cost. The model represents possible outcomes and focuses on the risk of default rather than an actual occurrence. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk, an allowance would be recognized in the statement of loss.

The Company’s accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The marketable securities are a Level 1 fair value measurement; the derivative warrants are a Level 2 fair value measurement.

The convertible note is classified as a liability at amortized cost with the conversion feature classified as a derivative liability. The debt liability was initially recorded at fair value and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and will be accreted to the face value over the term of the convertible debenture.

For the year ended December 31, 2019

(In U.S. Dollars, tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share amount)

 
  i) Provisions
     
   

Provisions are recognized when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. The Company had no material provisions on December 31, 2019, and 2018.

     
  j) Earnings (loss) per share
     
    Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. 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 in the money 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 year. 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.
     
  k) Income tax
     
   

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in net loss, except to the extent it is related to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive loss.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that their recovery is probable.

     
 

New Accounting Policy and Future Accounting Changes

The Company adopted the provisions of IFRS 16 Leases effective January 1, 2019.

IFRS 16, Leases, specifies how a Company recognizes, measures, presents and discloses leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value.

The Company has month-to-month rentals for its Vancouver and Yerington office premises, and the adoption of IFRS 16 does not have any significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has considered new standards or amendments to standards effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, including IFRS 3, Business Combinations, IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, and assessed that they would have no material impact on adoption.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2019

(In U.S. Dollars, tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share amount)

 

 

 

On June 12, 2014, the Company entered a Membership Interest Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Freeport-McMoRan Nevada LLC (“Freeport Nevada”) whereby Freeport Nevada could earn an initial 55% interest in SPS, which owns the Company’s Nevada properties, by funding a total of $40,750,000. On September 11, 2017, Freeport Nevada terminated the Option Agreement after having funded $14,540,000.

Since September 2017, salaries and benefits related to technical employees have been expensed in the statement of profit and loss instead of capitalized in mineral properties when Freeport Nevada was funding SPS, resulting in a higher salary expense for both 2019 and 2018 years.

   
a) MacArthur, Nevada
   
  The Company earned its 100% interest in the MacArthur property by having paid $2,200,000 over ten years. The property is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”), which may be reduced to a 1% NSR royalty for a consideration of $1,000,000.
   
b) Yerington, Nevada
   
 

The Company acquired a 100% interest in the Yerington property from the Arimetco bankruptcy proceeding in April 2011 for $500,000 cash and 250,000 common shares. The property has a 2% NSR royalty capped at $7,500,000 payable following commencement of commercial production.

On September 17, 2018, the Company announced a purchase and sale agreement to sell certain primary groundwater rights associated with its Yerington property to Desert Pearl Farms LLC (“Desert Pearl”), a local company involved in agriculture in the Yerington district, Nevada, for $6,260,000. The Company closed the sale on March 3, 2019, for a final value of $6,020,000 after adjusting for a small correction to one of the original permits. Total net proceeds of $5,685,000 and $313,000 were recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the Yerington property in 2019 and 2018, respectively.

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced two separate purchase and sale agreements to sell certain primary ground water rights to Desert Pearl and Desert Hills Dairy, LLC for $1,880,000, subject to relevant governmental approval.

   
c) Bear, Nevada
   
 

The Company has five option agreements, entered from March 2013 to May 2015, to acquire a 100% interest in private land in Yerington, Nevada, known as the Bear deposit. Under the terms of these option agreements, as amended, the Company is required to make approximately $5,423,290 in cash payments ($4,643,290 paid) to maintain the exclusive right to purchase the land, mineral rights and certain water rights and to conduct mineral exploration on these properties.

Aggregate payments to maintaining the five option agreements by year are as follows:

   
 

   • $1,458,774 March 20, 2013 to December 31, 2015 (paid);

   • $1,363,258 due in 2016 (paid);

   • $895,258 due in 2017 (paid);

   • $688,000 due in 2018 (paid);

d) Wassuk, Nevada
   
 

The Company has an option, as amended, to earn a 100% interest in certain unpatented mining claims in Lyon County, Nevada, over ten years and is required to make $1,515,000 in cash payments ($955,000 paid) and incur a work commitment of $300,000 ($92,112 incurred) by August 1, 2021. The remaining option balance is due on each anniversary August 1, 2020, and 2021 in the amounts of $60,000 and $500,000, respectively.

The property is subject to a 3% NSR royalty upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 2% NSR royalty in consideration for $1,500,000.

   
e) Groundhog, Alaska
   
 

On April 25, 2017, the Company announced it signed a five-year lease agreement, amended to six years, with Chuchuna Minerals Company (“Chuchuna”) to earn a 90% interest in the Groundhog copper prospect, located 200 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. To earn the 90% interest, the Company is required to fund a total of $5,000,000 ($2,320,000 funded) of exploration expenditure and to make a lump sum payment to Chuchuna of $3,000,000 by the end of the sixth year.

The Company is required to fund a minimum of $500,000 each year with excessive funding in any one year carried forward to the following year. The Company has met the annual work commitments and can terminate the agreement at its discretion.

   
f) Butte Valley, Nevada
   
 

On August 22, 2019, the Company entered into an option agreement with North Exploration, LLC, to earn a 100% interest in 600 unpatented mining claims in White Pine County, Nevada, for $600,000 over five years. North Exploration will retain a 2.5% NSR, of which 1% can be purchased for $1,000,000. A further 0.5% NSR can be purchased within the first ten years for $5,000,000.

On December 3, 2019, the Company entered another option agreement with Nevada Select Royalty, Inc., to purchase a 100% interest in 78 unpatented claims associated with the Butte Valley project, for $250,000 over five years. Nevada Select Royalty will retain a 2% NSR, of which 1% can be purchased by Quaterra for $10,000,000.

Aggregate payments to maintaining the two option agreements by year are as follows:

   • $20,000 due 2019 (paid);

   • $80,000 due in 2020;

   • $100,000 due in 2021;

   • $150,000 due in 2022; and

   • $250,000 each due in 2023 and 2024.

   
5. LOAN PAYABLE
   
 

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

The Loan bore an annual interest rate of 5%, compound daily, and was due 180 days following the termination notice of the Option Agreement.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2019

(In U.S. Dollars, tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share amount)

 

 

 

The loan was extended and partially repaid in 2018, and as of September 6, 2018, the remaining amount of $295,467 was agreed to mature on March 6, 2019, with an annual interest rate of 10%, compound daily.

The Company recorded $5,559 in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2019, and fully repaid $310,700 of principal and interest to Freeport Nevada on March 6, 2019.

   
6. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
   
 

On August 28, 2018, and September 20, 2018, the Company completed non-brokered private placements in tranches by way of convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $550,000 and Canadian dollars (“CAD”) CAD 550,000 each. The convertible debentures bear simple interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable in arrears, and mature 18 months from the closing date. Interest may be paid in cash or shares at the option of the noteholders, subject to regulatory approvals in the case of share payments.

The principal amount is convertible into units of the Company at $0.05 or CAD 0.065 per unit in the first 12 months, and $0.075 or CAD 0.10 thereafter until the maturity date, subject to acceleration provisions. Each unit is to consist of one common share and one warrant of the Company. Each warrant is to entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at $0.05 or CAD 0.065 per share, expiring August 28, 2022 and September 20, 2022. The convertible notes are secured against the assets of the Company.

The Company evaluated the convertible debentures and determined the conversion feature is a derivative liability based on the fact the conversion into units could result in a variable number of shares to be issued.

The derivative liability is fair valued at each reporting period. The debt component was measured at fair valued at the time of issue and then accounted for at amortized cost and accreted to the face value over the life of the convertible notes. As such, the net proceeds were initially allocated as $618,572 to the debt component and $342,535 to the derivative liability.

In August 2019, the USD convertible notes of $550,000 and a portion of the CAD convertible notes in the amount of CAD 50,000 were converted into units at $0.05 and CAD 0.065, comprising 11,769,230 shares and 11,769,230 warrants. Of the interest then due, $44,507 was paid by issuing 1,077,066 common shares and $13,012 interest was paid in cash.

The share capital for the conversion was valued as $547,409, including interest, using the closing stock price of the Company on conversion dates, with the residual amount of $291,000 allocated to the warrants and recognized in contributed surplus.

The remaining principal balance of CAD 500,000 is convertible into units at CAD 0.1 per unit, amended to expire on August 28, 2020. In the event that the Company’s water rights sale (note 4(b)) has not completed by August 28, 2020, the maturity date will be further extended to February 21, 2021. There are no other changes to the term of the convertible notes.

Interest and accretion expense on the convertible notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $203,000 (2018 - $102,000).

At inception, the fair value of the convertible note was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: volatility 99%, expected term 1.5 years, discount rate 1.46%, and dividend yield 0%.

14. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
   
 

The Company considers its capital to be equity, comprising share capital, reserves and deficit. The Company’s objectives are to ensure sufficient financial flexibility to achieve its ongoing business objectives, including the funding of future growth opportunities, the pursuit of accretive acquisitions, and to maximize shareholder return through enhancing the share value.

The Company manages capital through its budgeting and forecasting processes. The Company reviews its working capital and forecasts its future cash flows based on operating expenditures, and other investing and financing activities.

To maintain its objectives, the Company may issue new shares, adjust capital spending, acquire or dispose of assets. There is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.

There was no change in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

     
15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS
     
  The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible notes payable and derivative liabilities.
     
  a) Liquidity risk
     
    Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows. Cash is invested in highly liquid investments that are available to discharge obligations when they come due.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2019

(In U.S. Dollars, tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share amount)

 
  b) Currency risk
     
    Foreign exchange 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. The Company operates in the United States and Canada; it is therefore exposed to currency risk arising from transactions denominated in CAD. Currently, the Company does not have any foreign exchange hedge programs in place and manages its operational CAD requirements through spot purchases in the foreign exchange markets. Based on the magnitude of CAD financial assets and liabilities, the Company does not have material sensitivity to CAD to USD exchange rates.
     
  c) Interest rate risk
     
    Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the interest rate risk on its liabilities through its outstanding borrowings and the interest earned on cash balances. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and maintains an investment policy that focuses primarily on the preservation of capital and liquidity.
     
  b) Credit risk
     
    Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in large Canadian financial institutions that have high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
     
  c) Market risk
     
    The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating values of its publicly traded marketable securities. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments. Marketable securities are adjusted to fair value at each reporting date.
     
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
   
 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the virus known as COVID-19. The expected impacts on global commerce are anticipated to be far reaching. To date there have been significant stock market declines and the movement of people and goods has become restricted.

As the Company does not have production activities, the ability to fund ongoing exploration is affected by the availability of financing. Due to market uncertainty the Company may be restricted in its ability to raise additional funding.

The impact of these factors on the Company is not yet determinable; however, they may have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods. In particular, there may be heightened risk of mineral property impairment or going concern uncertainty.

As required by IFRS, these subsequent conditions have not been reflected in the measurement of our mineral properties as at December 31, 2019.

2019 PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

 Completion of sale of certain Yerington water rights for $6.02 million

On September 17, 2018, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Singatse Peak Services LLC ("SPS") had entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell certain primary groundwater rights associated with its copper property in Yerington, Nevada, to Desert Pearl Farms LLC ("Desert Pearl"), a Yerington-based company involved in agriculture in the district, for $6.26 million.

On March 3, 2019, the Company closed the water rights sale for a final value of $6.02 million after adjusting for a small correction to one of the original permits. The Company retains 6,700 acre-feet per year of primary groundwater permitted for mining worth approximately $20 million.

 Loans repayments

Following the closing of the water rights sale in March 2019, the Company fully repaid its loans to Freeport- McMoRan Nevada LLC ("Freeport Nevada") and the Chairman of the Company, Thomas Patton.

The Company has no debt other than the remaining convertible notes of CAD 500,000.

 A milestone in de-risking the Yerington copper project in Nevada

On June 3, 2019, the Company announced the signing of a master agreement ("Master Agreement") with Atlantic Richfield Company ("ARC") as part of a stated-regulated, privately funded solution to long-standing environmental issues associated with previous mining activity at the Yerington property in Nevada.

The Master Agreement is one part of a larger set of agreements being negotiated among ARC, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), Nevada Division of Environmental Protection ("NDEP") and the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM') to permanently address the impacts from previous mining activities by the Anaconda Mining Company and Arimetco Inc. at Yerington. ARC has continued its remediation activities at the site under previous orders by NDEP and the EPA. Once arrangements are completed, it will finalize the cleanup of the Yerington site consistent with Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act standards. The cleanup is being overseen by NDEP.

 Completion of the exploration program at Groundhog copper-gold project in Alaska

The Company conducted a $700,000 exploration program over the Groundhog copper-gold project, located in southwest Alaska, in 2019. During August and September 2019, Geotech of Ontario, Canada, completed a 1,664 line kilometre helicopter-borne ZTEM geophysical survey covering 165 square miles of the Groundhog project. A ground crew was also mobilized to conduct fieldwork consisting of geologic mapping, prospecting, and sampling.

The survey results were announced on January 9, 2020.

 Completion of a non-brokered private placement and partial conversion of convertible notes

On January 21, 2019, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement by issuing 3,000,000 common shares at CAD 0.05 a share for gross proceeds of CAD 150,000.

On August 30, 2019, the Company announced an aggregate principal amount of $550,000 and CAD 50,000 were converted to 11,769,230 units. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.05 and CAD 0.065 expiring on August 28, 2022 and September 20, 2022, respectively. The convertible debentures were originally issued in August and September of 2018 for gross proceeds of $550,000 and CAD 550,000. The remaining CAD 500,000 can be converted at CAD 0.1 per unit until August 28, 2020, with a further extension to February 28, 2021.

 Release of sequential assay results at MacArthur oxide-leach copper project

On October 21, 2019, the Company released the results of sequential copper analysis at its MacArthur open-pit, oxide-leach copper project in Yerington, Nevada. The amount of soluble copper present in both oxide and transitional material tested suggested the potential for actual recoveries to be higher than the assumptions used in the 2012 PEA. Work going forward will focus on evaluating this possibility and forms part of an ongoing pre- feasibility study of the project.

 Acquisition of Butte Valley porphyry copper-gold prospect in Nevada

On December 10, 2019, the Company announced two option agreements to purchase a 100% interest in the Butte Valley project located in north-central White Pine County, Nevada.

Butte Valley consists of 678 unpatented mining claims, and hosts an extensive porphyry copper-gold system in a mining-friendly state with well-developed infrastructure. It fits the Company's acquisition profile and provides an opportunity to acquire a strategic land position on reasonable terms with no onerous long-term financial obligations.

 Agreement to sell certain Yerington water rights for $1.88 million

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced a further sale of primary ground water rights by SPS to two unrelated limited liability companies based in Yerington, Nevada, for $1.88 million. The transaction will close when the State of Nevada Division of Water Resources ("NDWR") approves an application to change the manner of use of the water rights from mining and milling to agriculture in one case, and to commercial in the other and their place of use; and the title is transferred to the purchasers.

Once the sale has closed, SPS will retain about 6,000 acre-feet per year of primary ground water permitted for mining on its 51-square-mile Yerington property.

OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS

Quaterra is a copper exploration company currently focused on exploring and advancing its copper properties in Nevada and Alaska, United States. The Company also looks for opportunities to acquire copper projects on reasonable terms that have the potential to host large mineral deposits attractive to major mining companies.

The Company's 51-square-mile Yerington District, Nevada land package is situated in a mining-friendly jurisdiction with a history of copper production and excellent infrastructure. The Yerington Assets include the MacArthur, Yerington and

Quaterra Resources Inc.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the year ended December 31, 2019

 

Bear copper deposits, and several untested exploration targets. Besides the Yerington Assets, the Yerington property also has 6,700 acre-feet (6,000 acre-feet after the closing of the most recently announced water rights sale) of primary ground water rights permitted for mining worth approximately $20 million based on a previous sale.

On December 31, 2019, Quaterra had invested a gross $46.58 million in the Yerington District since 2006 and had released oxide and sulphide resources prepared under NI 43-101 standards at both MacArthur and Yerington, and a PEA at MacArthur.

The Company also has a lease agreement, amended, with Chuchuna Minerals Company ("Chuchuna") providing it with an option to acquire a 90% interest in the Groundhog project, a 54,880-acre property situated on an established copper porphyry belt 300 kilometers southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. $5.0 million exploration funding is required over six years, and an additional lump sum of $3.0 million is payable to Chuchuna by the end of the sixth year. Quaterra can terminate the lease agreement at its discretion annually without penalties.

OUTLOOK

During 2019, copper prices were primarily determined by U.S. - China trade-related news rather than copper's fundamentals. The fundamentals for copper supply have remained unchanged with declining copper grades; large increases in capital expenditure required to bring a new mine into production; longer permitting and construction times; ongoing political instability; growing environmental opposition; and the industry's continued focus on brown field development rather than exploration. On the demand side, the accelerating adoption of electric vehicles, and the ongoing drive towards renewable sources of energy remain catalysts for increases in the use of copper. Copper retains its position as a critical metal in transportation, communications, housing, electricity and piping. Recent turmoil in the commodity and financial markets, however, has neutralized the longer term drivers of copper demand and supply. Another year of volatile copper prices is anticipated in 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve rapidly. It has already had a significant impact on global financial markets and could cause a major economic downturn. Management understands this unprecedented risk, and has responded quickly by locking down its offices and requesting its employees to stay informed and behave responsibly. These measures will have some impact on the Company's operations and its people.

Quaterra continues to focus its activities on exploring the MacArthur acid-leach deposit in Yerington, Nevada and is advancing the work required to complete a pre-feasibility study, currently focusing on further understanding the deposit's geology, mine plan design, metallurgical recoveries, acid usage and the path to permitting. The Company continues to maintain its extensive Yerington land position and its water rights. The Company will also continue to meet its funding obligations for exploration at the Groundhog copper-gold project in southwest Alaska.

Financing exploration work through the financial markets continues to be very challenging. Quaterra will focus on exploring methods of financing that are non-dilutive to shareholders. In 2019, the Company was able to raise $6.02 million by selling water rights, thereby avoiding punitive dilution for shareholders. In 2020, it expects to raise an additional $1.88 million upon the closing of a recently announced second sale of water rights.

Both Nevada and Alaska are highly ranked locations for mineral exploration and mining. They have attracted the attention of some of the largest mining companies and mine finders in the world, including Anglo American, Barrick Gold, BHP Billiton, Freeport-McMoRan, Newmont Mining, Novagold and Rio Tinto.

CORPORATE STRATEGY

Quaterra is a copper exploration company with the goal of identifying and acquiring projects capable of becoming world- class assets. It uses a number of filters when assessing exploration opportunities and narrowing them down to those that have the potential to become mines:

 Projects should have the prospect of hosting large mineral deposits that would, if proven, be attractive to major mining companies.

 They must be located in stable political jurisdictions that are mining-friendly and where it is feasible to permit, develop and build a mine.

 Quaterra has a preference, though not a precondition, for properties that can be moved to a drill-ready stage relatively quickly through previous geophysical, geochemical and geological work.

 Where possible, the Company also looks for partnerships with local teams and experts who have demonstrated exploration success and good relationships with surrounding communities and governance authorities.

REVIEW OF MINERAL PROPERTIES AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

The Company considers itself to be an advanced exploration stage company. The amounts shown as mineral properties represent costs incurred to date, less amounts recovered and/or impaired, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.

The Yerington Assets, Nevada

The Yerington Assets hold a critical strategic position in the emerging Yerington copper district with their large, centrally located land package, known mineral resources, access to infrastructure, untested exploration targets and water rights. From June 2014 to September 2017, the Yerington Assets were funded by Freeport Nevada pursuant to an earn-in option agreement. Since the Freeport Nevada option was terminated, work on the Company's Yerington Assets had been constrained due to funding challenges associated with difficult financial and commodity markets.

In 2019, exploration work was funded by proceeds received from the sale of primary ground water rights. On March 3, 2019, the Company completed the sale of primary ground water rights permitted for mining for gross proceeds of $6.02 million. It initiated a second water rights sale in December 2019 for $1.88 million, expected to close in the second half of 2020.

In 2020, the Company plans to continue progressing the pre-feasibility study at the MacArthur acid-leach copper project, including optimizing the project's resource model and mine plan, and continuing metallurgical testing to improve copper recoverability and project economics. The Company also intends to maintain its land position encompassing all of its Yerington Assets, and is exploring the possibility of limited core drilling at the Bear porphyry deposit to build on its previous 2014-2017 exploration programs.

a. MacArthur, Nevada

The Company's 100%-owned MacArthur deposit is an acid-soluble copper deposit located 70 miles southeast of Reno, Nevada.

The Company has engaged Independent Mining Consultants ("IMC") of Tucson, Arizona, to update the MacArthur mineral resource estimate, re-evaluate the assumptions in the 2012 PEA, and identify additional opportunities to enhance the mine plan. Process Engineering ("PE"), also of Tucson, has been engaged to lead metallurgical work, including sequential leaching, acid consumption analysis, bottle roll tests, and column leach tests. This work is also aimed at better understanding the mineralized deposit to enhance mine sequencing, copper recovery and the economic results of an ongoing pre-feasibility study.

Quaterra Resources Inc.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the year ended December 31, 2019

 

On October 21, 2019, the Company released sequential assay results at MacArthur which suggested the potential for actual recoveries to be higher than the assumptions used in the 2012 PEA. The Company is targeting completion of a pre-feasibility study within 18 months at approximately $2 million to $3 million, depending on the availability of funds.

As of December 31, 2019, total accumulated acquisition and exploration costs for MacArthur were $21.878 million before $3.374 million funds recovered from Freeport Nevada for a net carrying value of $18.504 million.

b. Yerington, Nevada

SPS's Master Agreement with ARC announced on June 3, 2019, forms part of a state-regulated, privately-funded solution to long-standing environmental issues associated with previous mining activity at the Anaconda Copper Mine site located on the Yerington property. The agreement defines the terms under which the two companies will work together on the Yerington mine site, allowing ARC to complete its remedial actions and SPS to move the site forward with exploration and development for mining. It memorializes the parties' commitments concerning cooperation, access, property rights, liabilities, federal land acquisition, and ensures the preservation of SPS's property and mineral rights. ARC has agreed to design, build, operate and fund the remedy for the Arimetco portion of the site and implement a CERCLA-protective remedy for the entire Anaconda copper mine.

The Master Agreement also contains covenants not to sue and indemnification provisions between the parties involved. Of particular note, the Master Agreement will:

 Further, reduce SPS's risks regarding environmental liabilities at the Yerington site associated with past mining before SPS's acquisition in 2011. This includes both the former Anaconda mining operations and the former Arimetco area known as Operable Unit 8, previously an unfunded liability.

 Provide SPS with the opportunity to consolidate its land position at Yerington with the possible conversion of certain BLM mining claims into private land transferred to SPS at nominal cost without attached liability for previous mining activity.

 Dovetail with more comprehensive plans by government agencies to transfer oversight of the Yerington mine site from federal to state jurisdiction under the NDEP.

 Assist in creating a simpler path for mine cleanup and development by way of private land ownership and state oversight.

As of December 31, 2019, total accumulated acquisition and exploration costs for Yerington were $13.884 million before $2.699 million funds recovered from Freeport Nevada and $5.998 million from the water rights sale for a net carrying value of $5.187 million.

c. Bear, Nevada

The Bear deposit is an extensive porphyry copper system with historical drilling and potential for higher grades. Other than property maintenance, no exploration work was carried out in 2019.

Subject to funding, the Company is investigating the possibility of exploration drilling at Bear to better under the porphyry system and locate areas of higher grade mineralization.

As of December 31, 2019, total accumulated acquisition and exploration costs for Bear were $9.456 million before $8.189 million funds recovered from Freeport Nevada for a net carrying value of $1.267 million.

Groundhog, Alaska

The Groundhog project covers a 54,800-acre land position on an established copper porphyry belt 300 kilometers southwest of Anchorage, Alaska, and is located immediately north of the large Pebble porphyry copper, gold and molybdenum project.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the year ended December 31, 2019

 

The Company acquired an option to earn a 90% interest in this property over five years from April 2017, subsequently extended to six years. During 2019, the Company completed a $0.7 million exploration program at Groundhog consisting of geophysical surveying, geologic mapping, prospecting and sampling.

A review of the data resulted in the selection of 19 targets that were ranked using ZTEM responses from other similar porphyry systems, including the Pebble Project. Eight top-ranked targets were selected that compare favourably in size and intensity to the ZTEM responses of other mineralized systems in Central and North American mining districts. An additional 11 target anomalies were identified that were less similar to other known deposits. Limited geological fieldwork did not identify significant anomalies.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had spent $2.32 million, of which $0.32 million was accumulated excessive spendings that can be carried forward in 2020 towards meeting its required minimum $0.5 million work commitment for the year. Funds in 2020 will go towards keeping the claims in good standing, limited field and geophysical work, and commitments to the local community which is a part owner of the project.

Results of Operations - Year ended December 31, 2019

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a loss of $1.711 million compared to $1.419 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Significant differences in the comparative amounts were mainly caused by the interest and accretion expenses on convertible notes, the non-cash fair value calculation of share-based compensation, and an unrealized gain (loss) on the marketable securities.

General administrative costs are mainly comprised of salaries, rent, investor relations, insurance, regulatory and general office costs required to maintain a publicly listed company in Canada. The scale and nature of the Company's corporate and administrative activity have remained relatively consistent over the periods presented. The Company engaged a few consulting firms to assist the Company in expanding investor awareness through focused marketing, distribution and research.

The Company assesses for any indication of impairment at each reporting date or upon a triggering event that may identify impairment of a property's value. The carrying amount of the Company's mineral properties represent mineral property costs net of recoveries and write-downs to date and does not necessarily reflect present or future values.

The fact the Company successfully sold a portion of the water rights associated with the Yerington property for gross proceeds of $6.02 million demonstrated that the potential value of the water rights alone supports the recoverability of the Company's mineral properties in Yerington.

As per the Company's accounting policy, proceeds from the water rights sale are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the mineral properties. To date, all mineral claims and option payments have been maintained in good standing; no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018.

Interest expense was primarily related to the interest on convertible notes, loans to Freeport Nevada and loans due to Mr. Thomas Patton.

The Company holds 1,942,795 common shares of Grande Portage Resources Ltd. The Company recorded an unrealized gain reflecting the changes in the market value of these shares of $9,000 during 2019 and a $130,000 loss for 2018.

In August 2019, $550,000 and CAD 50,000 of the convertible notes were converted into 11,769,230 units consisting of one common share and one share purchase warrants. As a result, a loss resulting from the difference between the market price of the shares issued and the conversion rate was recorded in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Three months ended December 31, 2019

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company extended the expiry of the convertible notes by six months with an option to extend for one year, completed the acquisition of the Butte Valley property, and initiated a second water rights sale. In the same period of 2018, the Company commenced expensing the salaries of Yerington personnel where costs were previously recovered from Freeport Nevada, resulting in a higher general administration being reported for the period compared with previous periods.

Quarterly Information Trends

The Company's results have been primarily driven by no cash fair value gains or losses on derivative liabilities, and share- based compensation subject to the timing, amount and tenure of options granted.

General administration comprises personnel, rent, professional fees, and regulatory expenses to maintain the Company's publicly listed status in Canada. The annual costs are consistent with quarterly fluctuation based on the timing of individual transactions incurred, such as the exchange listing fees, insurance renewals and investor relations conferences.

Quaterra Resources Inc.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the year ended December 31, 2019

 

Interest earned, and financing costs vary based on the timing, type and amount of debt and equity placements and resultant fluctuations in cash.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is an exploration stage company that has not earned any production revenue. Its operation has been dependent on funding from Freeport Nevada, proceeds from sales of some of its assets in the last few years, and the limited issuance of convertible notes.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.81 million on December 31, 2019 (2018 - $0.05 million). The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $1.76 million was mainly due to the $5.68 million in proceeds received from the water rights sale, after the cash invested in mineral properties of $1.9 million, spent in operating activities of $1.62 million and financing activities of $0.4 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, cash flow used in operating activities was $1.44 million before non-cash items and changes in working capital. The Company's average monthly cash burn rate was $0.12 million, and management expects a similar burn rate in 2020.

Net cash used in financing activities of $0.4 million consists of the net proceeds received from the private placement closed in January 2019 and the 400,000 stock options exercised. The total proceeds are offset by the loan repayments made in March 2019 to Freeport Nevada and the Company's Chairman, Thomas Patton.

Net cash provided in investing activities reflects the $5.68 million in net proceeds of the water rights sale received in March 2019, partially offset by cash invested in the mineral properties of $1.9 million comprising of property maintenance, pre-feasibility study preparation on MacArthur, the geophysical survey on Groundhog, the acquisition of Butte Valley, and ongoing environmental monitoring at Yerington.

The Company has entered into several mineral property agreements, under which the Company is obliged, at its discretion, to maintain good standing of these mineral properties and meet required work commitments for a combined $1.0 million in 2020.

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced a second water rights sale for $1.88 million expected to close by the second half of 2020. Proceeds from the sale will be used to progress the MacArthur project, assess exploration opportunities and for general corporate purposes.

As of March 26, 2020, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million with no debt except the CAD 0.5 million convertible notes. The expiry date of the convertible notes was extended to August 28, 2020, and can be further extended to February 28, 2021.

With existing working capital and expected proceeds from the second water rights sale, the Company believes it can sustain its operations for the next 12 months.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

According to a service agreement, amended, with Manex Resources Group ("Manex"), a private company controlled by the Corporate Secretary of the Company, the Company paid $68,819 to Manex for the use of office premises, $13,016 for general corporate services and $24,238 for investors' communications. The service agreement can be terminated by either party at any time with a 60-day written notice.

The Company also paid the remaining loan to Mr. Thomas Patton, Chairman and former CEO of the Company, in the amount of CAD 292,134, including interest CAD 22,134. During 2018, Mr. Patton advanced a total CAD 400,000 to the Company to meet its operating expense requirements. The Company entered into this related party transaction because alternate sources of financing were unavailable due to weak financial markets suffering from the trade tensions and growing concerns about the global economic outlook.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no off-balance arrangements, no lease agreements and no long-term obligations other than those described in Note 4 Exploration and Evaluation assets in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

DISCLOSURE ON INTERNAL CONTROLS

Management is responsible for designing, establishing, and maintaining a system of internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.

Because of its inherent limitations, ICFR may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future years are subject to the risk that may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of the Company's ICFR as of December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, the Company's management used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in its 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The Audit Committee of the Company has reviewed this MD&A, and the audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2019, and the Board of Directors approved these documents before their release.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 of the Company's 2019 audited consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases had no material impact on the Company's financial position or financial performance on the transition date.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period.

Page 10 of 12


Quaterra Resources Inc.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the year ended December 31, 2019

 

Significant estimates and assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event actual results differ from assumptions made. These assumptions relate to but are not limited to: the recoverability of carrying value of the mineral properties, the successful completion of the second water rights sale, and the assumption of the Company's going concern.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's cash and cash equivalents, amounts due, short-term investments, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and derivative liabilities are financial instruments. The cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are measured at amortized cost.

The marketable securities are measured at fair value and categorized in Level 1. The derivative liability is measured at fair value and categorized in Level 2. The fair value of the derivative liability is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as determined at the reporting date. The Company's other 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 its financial instruments.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is subject to many risks and uncertainties, each of which could have an adverse effect on the results, business prospects or financial position.

The Company's securities should be considered a highly speculative investment and investors should carefully consider all of the information disclosed in the Company's regulatory filings before investing in the Company. For a comprehensive list of the risks and uncertainties applicable to the Company, please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Form 20-F, which is available on the Sedar website at www.sedar.com and SEC website at www.sec.gov.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made and information contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "Forward-Looking Statements").

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will, may, could or might occur in the future are Forward-Looking Statements. The words such as "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "strategy," "plan," "intend," "may," "could," "would," "should," or similar expressions are intended to identify Forward-Looking Statements.

These Forward-Looking Statements include, but are not limited to:

 planned exploration drilling and geological and geophysical related activities;
 the potential impact of future exploration results on copper projects in Yerington district;
 mineral resource estimates;
 preliminary economic assessments of mineral projects including assumptions and estimates used therein;
 future metal prices and foreign exchange rates;
 the Company's ability to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms;

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the year ended December 31, 2019

 
  • the future source of liquidity, cash flows and their uses; and
  • potential changes in the ownership structures of the Company's projects.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results, such as, among other things, results of exploration, reclamation, capital costs, and the Company's financial condition and prospects to differ from those reflected in Forward-Looking Statements. These risks and uncertainties include without limitation:

  • the Company's ability to finance the continued exploration of mineral properties;
  • the Company's history of losses and ability to continue as a going concern;
  • the lack of proven mineral reserves or probable mineral reserves;
  • the uncertainty that there will be any production at the Company's mineral exploration properties;
  • decreases in resource estimates and preliminary economic assessments resulting from updated testing; changes in methodology in modelling resources, and technical analysis;
  • failure of the Company or its joint venture partners to fund their pro-rata share of funding obligations;
  • the impact of governmental regulations, including environmental regulations; and
  • commodity price fluctuations.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect the Company's Forward-Looking Statements.

Although the Company has attempted to identify risks and uncertainties that may cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in Forward-Looking Statements, there may be other factors that cause actual results, performances, achievements or events to not be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Also, many factors are beyond the Company's control. As actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in Forward-Looking Statements, readers should not place undue reliance on such statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based on the beliefs, expectations, and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward- looking statement should circumstances or estimates or opinions change, except following applicable securities laws.

NOTE TO U.S. READERS

The Company uses the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions for the terms "measured resources," "indicated resources," and "inferred resources." U.S. investors are advised that while the terms "measured resources," "indicated resources" and "inferred resources" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, including National Instrument 43-101 ("NI43-101"), the SEC does not recognize these terms. Accordingly, the information contained in this MD&A contains descriptions of mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies that are not required to comply with NI43-101 and that are subject to the reporting requirements under the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The SEC permits U.S. companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. U.S. readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the material in these categories will be converted into reserves. It should not be assumed that any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

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