SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
(a)Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) of the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 except for the following:

IFRS 9 (2014) – Financial Instruments (amended 2014)

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted, retrospectively without restatement, IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, the final version issued in 2014 by IASB (“IFRS 9 (2014)”). As the Company applied IFRS 9 (2010) effective April 1, 2011, the adoption of IFRS 9 (2014) has no impact on the classification or the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments. IFRS 9 (2014) introduced a single expected credit loss impairment model for the financial assets measured at amortized cost and for debt instrument at fair value through other comprehensive income, which is based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition. The adoption of the expected credit loss impairment model did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. IFRS 9 (2014) change the requirements for hedge effectiveness and consequently for the application of hedge accounting. As the Company does not apply hedge accounting, the adoption of IFRS 9 (2014) with regards to hedge accounting did not impact the Company or its accounting policies.

IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") which supersedes IAS 18 – Revenue ("IAS 18"). IFRS 15 establishes a single five-step model framework for determining the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

IFRS 15 requires entities to recognize revenue when ‘control’ of goods or services transfers to the customer whereas the previous standard, IAS 18, required entities to recognize revenue when the ‘risks and rewards’ of the goods or services transfer to the customer. The Company concluded there is no change in the timing of revenue recognition of its concentrate sales under the new standard as the point of transfer of risks and rewards of goods and services and transfer of control occur at the same time. As such, no adjustment was required to the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 15 requires that variable consideration should only be recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company concluded that the adjustments relating to the final assay results for the quantity and quality of concentrate sold and the retroactive pricing adjustment for the new pricing terms are not significant and does not constrain the recognition of revenue.

The Company concluded after review of its revenue streams and underlying contracts with customers that the adoption of IFRS 15 has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Other narrow scope amendments

The Company adopted IFRIC 22 – Foreign currency transaction and advanced consideration, and narrow scope amendments to IFRS 2 – Share-based payment, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated on February 13, 2019.

(b)Basis of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or partially owned subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control up to the date of the disposition of control. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the subsidiary, is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

For non-wholly-owned subsidiaries over which the Company has control, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are presented as “non-controlling interests” in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Net income for the period that is attributable to the non-controlling interests is calculated based on the ownership of the non-controlling interest shareholders in the subsidiary. Adjustments to recognize the non-controlling interests’ share of changes to the subsidiary’s

equity are made even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are recorded as equity transactions. The carrying amount of non-controlling interests is adjusted to reflect the change in the non-controlling interests’ relative interests in the subsidiary and the difference between the adjustment to the carrying amount of non-controlling interest and the Company’s share of proceeds received and/or consideration paid is recognized directly in equity and attributed to equity holders of the Company.

Balances, transactions, revenues and expenses between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

(c) Accounting standards issued but not yet in effect

IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”) was issued by the IASB and will replace Leases (“IAS 17”) and determining whether an arrangement contains a lease (“IFRIC 4”). IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a non-lease component on the basis of whether the customer controls the specific asset. For those contracts that are or contain a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the accounting for contracts that are or contain a lease, introducing a single, on-balance sheet accounting model that is similar to current finance lease accounting, with limited exceptions for short-term leases or leases of low value assets. Lessor accounting remains similar to current accounting practice. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early application permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15. The Company anticipates that the application of IFRS 16 will result in an increase in the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities related to leases with terms greater than 12 months on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position on April 1, 2019. IFRS 16 will further result in increased depreciation and amortization on these rights of use assets and increased interest on these additional lease liabilities. These lease payments will be recorded as financing outflows on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company is currently identifying and collecting data relating to existing lease agreements for Fiscal 2019.

The fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 was calculated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

     Nine months ended December 31,  
     2018      2017

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company manages its exposure to financial risks, including liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and equity price risk in accordance with its risk management framework. The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.

(a) Fair value

The Company classifies its fair value measurements within a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements as defined in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”).

16

31, 2018 and for three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
(Unaudited)(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except numbers for share and per share figures or otherwise stated)

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value level on a recurring basis within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018 that are not otherwise disclosed. As required by IFRS 13, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

    Fair value as at December 31, 2018  
Recurring measurements   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Financial assets            
Cash and cash equivalents $ 68,138 $ - $ - $ 68,138
Investments in publicly traded companies   7,751     -     -     7,751  

 

    Fair value as at March 31, 2018  
Recurring measurements   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Financial assets            
Cash and cash equivalents $ 49,199 $ - $ - $ 49,199
Investments in publicly traded companies   6,132     -       -       6,132   

Fair value of the other financial instruments excluded from the table above approximates their carrying amount as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its short-term business requirements. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities.

     December 31, 2018           March 31, 2018  
     Within a year      2-3 years     4-5 years     Total     Total  
Bank loan $ 4,366 $ - $ - $ 4,366 $ -
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   33,117     -     -     33,117     25,198

(c) Foreign exchange risk

The Company reports its financial statements in US dollars. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries and all intermediate holding companies is CAD and the functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is RMB. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when the Company undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than its functional currencies. The Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange currency hedging. The Company's exposure to currency risk affect net income is summarized as follow:

    December 31, 2018     March 31, 2018  
Financial assets denominated in U.S. Dollars $ 50,669   $ 27,256  

As at December 31, 2018, with other variables unchanged, a 10% strengthening (weakening) of the CAD against the USD would have decreased (increased) net income by approximately $5.1 million.

(d) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash equivalents, short term investments, and bank loan payable. As at December 31, 2018, all of its interest-bearing cash equivalents and short term investments earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity or at variable interest rate with terms of less than one year. The Company monitors its exposure to changes in interest rates on cash equivalents and short term investments. Due to the short term nature of the financial instruments, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the Company’s after-tax net income.

The outstanding bank loan is subject to Chinese prevailing loan prime interest rate. If the prime interest rate increased (decreased) by 1%, interest expenses would be increased (decreased) by approximately $0.5 million per annum. However, the Company does not believe there is significant interest rate risk as the Chinese central bank has maintained stable interest rates to ensure economic stability, with less than 1% fluctuation in base interest rate in the last three years.

(e) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily associated to accounts receivable, due from related parties, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The carrying amount of assets included on the balance sheet represents the maximum credit exposure.

The Company undertakes credit evaluations on counterparties as necessary, requests deposits from customers prior to delivery, and has monitoring processes intended to mitigate credit risks. The Company has no trade receivables from customers as at December 31, 2018. There were no amounts in other receivables which were past due on December 31, 2018 (at March 31, 2018 - $nil) for which no provision is recognized.

(f) Equity price risk

The Company holds certain marketable securities that will fluctuate in value as a result of trading on Canadian financial markets. As the Company’s marketable securities holding are mainly in mining companies, the value will also fluctuate based on commodity prices. Based upon the Company’s portfolio as at December 31, 2018, a 10% increase (decrease) in the market price of the securities held, ignoring any foreign currency effects would have resulted in an increase (decrease) to comprehensive income of approximately $775.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has two office rental agreements totaling $2,709 for the next five years and commitments of $6,418 related to the GC property. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred rental expenses of $213 and $598, respectively (three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 - $165 and $490, respectively), which were included in office and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated interim statement of income.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to, among other things, unregistered prior agreements or transfers and may be affected by undetected defects.

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, the Company is subject to various claims, legal and tax matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company and its legal counsel evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. Major legal proceedings against the Company are summarized as follows:

  • During the year ended March 31, 2016, an action was initiated by Luoyang Mining Group Co., Ltd. (“Luoyang Mining”) at the Luoyang Luolong District People’s Court (the “District Court”) against Henan Found seeking payment of $1.6 million (RMB10.0 million) plus interest related to the acquisition agreements Henan Found entered into in August 2012 to acquire the XHP Project. Henan Found did not make the final payment as certain commercial conditions were not fulfilled by Luoyang Mining. In April 2016, Henan Found filed a counter claim in Luoyang Intermediate People’s Court (the “Intermediate Court”) against Luoyang Mining to have the original acquisition agreements nullified and sought repayment of the amount paid to date of $9.7 million (RMB62.8 million) plus compensation of direct loss of $2.5 million (RMB16.5 million) arising from the XHP Project. A trial was heard in March 2017 by the Intermediate Court. In July 2018, the Intermediate Court decided to combine Luoyang Mining’s claim and Henan Found’s counter claim as one case. In September 2018, the Company reached mutual settlement agreement with Luoyang Mining and paid the $1.6 million (RMB10.0 million) to Luoyang Mining and the case was closed. The settlement has no material impact on the Company’s financial results as the $1.6 million was accrued and included into the accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company in prior years.
