Note 1: Nature of operations and going concern

 
Fury Gold Mines Limited (the “Company” or “Fury Gold”) is a Canadian-focused exploration and development company positioned in three prolific gold mining regions. The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration, and development of resource properties in Canada. At June 30, 2021, the Company had three principal projects: Eau Claire in Québec, Committee Bay in Nunavut, and Homestake Ridge in British Columbia. The Eau Claire project is viewed as the Company’s lead asset.
 
The Company was incorporated on June 9, 2008, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE-American, with its common shares trading under the symbol FURY. The registered office is 595 Burrard Street, Suite 2600, Vancouver, British Columbia (“BC”), V7X 1L3, and the mailing address is 34 King Street East, Suite 900, Toronto, Ontario (“ON”), M5C 2X8.
 
Prospectus
 
On April 30, 2021, the Company filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prospectus”) with the securities commissions in all provinces in Canada and the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States to maintain financial flexibility as it advances its projects in Canada. The final Prospectus was filed on May 10, 2021. The Prospectus will allow the Company to offer and issue up to $200 million of common shares, subscription receipts, warrants, units, or any combination of such securities during the 25-month period that the Prospectus is effective.
 
Acquisition of Eastmain and transfer of Peruvian exploration properties
 
On October 9, 2020, the Company acquired Eastmain Resources Inc. (“Eastmain”), including Eastmain’s principal asset, the 100%-owned Eau Claire gold project located in James Bay, Québec. Prior to October 9, 2020, the Company, formerly Auryn Resources Inc. (“Auryn”), also held secured rights to various mining concessions in southern Peru which included the Sombrero, Curibaya, and Huilacollo projects. These projects were transferred to two new companies, Tier One Silver Inc. and Sombrero Resources Inc. (collectively, the “Spincos”), as part of the arrangement agreement to acquire Eastmain (note 3).
 
Going Concern
 
As a company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, the Company does not generate revenues and thus finances its activities through equity and debt financings. The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The Company’s mineral property interests recorded on its statement of financial position reflect historical acquisition costs incurred, and while the carrying values are assessed at each reporting period for indicators of impairment, their recoverability is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to continue exploration and development of these assets, and ultimately on future profitable operations or the sale of such mineral properties.
 
As at June 30, 2021, the Company had unrestricted cash of $5,452 (December 31, 2020 – $15,361), working capital of $1,115 (December 31, 2020 – working capital of $8,353), which the Company defines as current assets less current liabilities, and an accumulated deficit of $148,944 (December 31, 2020 – $139,959). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Fury Gold incurred a loss of $4,060 and $8,985 (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 – $2,734 and $5,449), respectively, and expects to continue to incur operating losses in relation to exploration activities. With no source of operating cash flow, there is no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its mineral properties. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company filed the Prospectus, providing the Company with additional flexibility to raise funding, however, the ability to continue as a going concern remains dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to continue to fund its mineral properties through the issuance of capital stock, the realization of future profitable production and/or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral interests. These conditions create a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Management plans to continue to secure the necessary financing through a combination of equity financing and/or disposition of mineral properties. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its commitments, continue operations and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
 
Response to COVID-19
 
The situation in Canada regarding COVID-19 remains fluid and permitted activities are subject to change. The Company is continually monitoring the situation, along with provincial and government guidelines, and allowing work to be undertaken once it is confident that it is safe for its employees and stakeholders to do so. The Company continues to have full access to its properties in Canada and measures have been taken to enhance the safety of employees and contractors at all active sites, including COVID-19 screening of all on-site employees. At the Company’s Eau Claire project in Québec, all on-site employees have participated in the vaccination program and have received both doses. In addition to the COVID-19 screening of all on-site employees implemented in 2020, the Company was approved by Public Health Canada for on-site Rapid Testing for COVID-19 which was implemented in April 2021. Québec’s COVID-19 relief program ended on April 1, 2021, and all work and reporting requirements are now in force.

Operations in Nunavut for 2021 continue to be subject to COVID-19 protocols and travel restrictions. On April 16, 2021, the Government of Nunavut announced that all rotational workers traveling in and out of the Territory were eligible to receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in one of the communities. Currently, all travellers require an exemption from the public health officer of Nunavut prior to travel into the Territory, either through evidence of double vaccination status or evidence of direct travel to remote regions with no interaction with Nunavut Hamlets or Nunavummiuts. At site, the Company has implemented certain protocols to ensure safe operations in the Territory including increased cleaning and sanitation; rapid COVID-19 testing; and an isolation facility for symptomatic personnel. Additionally, all workers are required to provide the Company with a completed self-assessment form and evidence of a negative COVID test 48 hours prior to travel to site.
 
In April 2021, British Columbia implemented restrictions on non-essential travel between health regions. Currently, mining and exploration have been deemed essential and plans for working at the Homestake Ridge project in 2021 will be subject to approval of a COVID-19 plan by the Chief Provincial Health Officer.
 
Effective April 8, 2021, the Government of Ontario issued a province-wide Stay-at-Home order. As a result, the Company’s corporate office in Toronto remained temporarily closed and employees continued to work remotely during the second quarter.
 
 
Note 2: Basis of presentation

 
Statement of compliance
 
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “interim financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain disclosures included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements (the “consolidated financial statements”) prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRICs”) have been condensed or omitted herein. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
 
These interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 12, 2021.
 
Basis of preparation and consolidation
 
These interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the Company’s returns. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
 
The principal subsidiaries of the Company at June 30, 2021 were as follows:

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value (note 15). All amounts are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Reference to US$ are to United States dollars. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Share consolidation
 
On October 9, 2020, pursuant to the acquisition of Eastmain, the Company consolidated the 112,340,434 common shares outstanding as of that date to 75,900,000 common shares and the exercise price of share options issued prior to that date were adjusted downwards by $0.95 to reflect the fair value of the Peruvian projects allocated to the Spincos (note 3). As such, all share and per share data presented in these interim financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the share consolidation unless otherwise noted.

Critical accounting estimates, judgements, and policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that may have a significant impact on consolidated financial statements. Estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates.
 
In preparing the Company’s interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company applied the critical accounting judgements and estimates and accounting policies disclosed in notes 2 and 3, respectively, of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as noted below:
 
Credit on duties refundable for loss and refundable tax credits for resource investment
 
The Company is entitled to a refundable credit on duties of 16% for eligible losses under the Québec Mining Duties Act and a refundable resource investment tax credit of 31% under the Québec Income Tax Act. These credits are applicable to qualified exploration expenditures on properties located within the province of Québec. Application for these credits is subject to verification and, as such, they are recognized only when they are received or when a notice of assessment confirming the amount to be paid is issued. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company received a refund of $1,717, consisting of $1,670 principal and $47 interest (six months ended June 30, 2020 – nil).
 
New and amended standards not yet effective
 
Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning after December 31, 2021. The Company has not early adopted any of these pronouncements, and they are not expected to have a significant impact in the foreseeable future on the Company's consolidated financial statements once adopted.
 
Segmented information
 
The Company’s operating segments are reviewed by the key decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral resource properties, and in one geographical location, Canada.
 
Prior to October 9, 2020, the Company also held secured rights to various mining concessions in southern Peru. These projects were transferred to the Spincos as part of the arrangement agreement to acquire Eastmain (note 3).

Note 3: Acquisition of Eastmain and transfer of Peruvian properties

 
Acquisition of Eastmain
 
On October 9, 2020, the Company acquired Eastmain, including its principal asset, the 100%-owned Eau Claire gold project located in James Bay, Québec, by issuing 34,100,000 shares of the Company to the Eastmain shareholders with a total fair value of $124,169. Acquisition costs of $3,029 and the expense of $3,450 arising from 1,570,754 share options and 1,297,591 warrants issued to former Eastmain share option and warrant holders were included in the total purchase price. The key net assets acquired included marketable securities ($1,662) and mineral property interests in Québec ($125,606), offset by accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($1,203) and a provision for site reclamation and closure ($1,849).
 
The Eastmain purchase price of $124,169 was calculated on the basis of the market capitalization of Auryn on October 9, 2020, adjusted for the fair value of the Peruvian assets distributed to the Spincos as of that date. The fair value of the Peruvian assets was determined through a valuation assessment undertaken by an independent specialist. Calculation of the fair value required application of significant judgment with regards to the determination of the probability of economic recoverability (see note 3i of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020).
 
Spin off of Peruvian exploration projects
 
In 2020, the Company accounted for the transfer of the Peruvian exploration projects to the Spincos as a common control transaction based on the carrying value of the investments in the Peruvian subsidiaries and certain intercompany loans held by Fury Gold at the transaction date. This transfer is presented as a discontinued operation in these interim financial statements and comparative figures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, have been restated, where applicable.
 
The loss from the discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was as follows:

Note 5: Mineral property interests

 
The Company’s principal resource properties are located in Canada and prior to October 9, 2020, in Peru (note 3).
 
Québec
 
Pursuant to the acquisition of Eastmain in October 2020, the Company acquired interests in 12 properties within the James Bay region of Québec (note 3). The principal projects acquired were:
 
Eau Claire
 
The Company owns a 100% interest in the Eau Claire project located immediately north of the Eastmain reservoir, approximately 10 kilometres (“km”) northeast of Hydro Québec’s EM-1 hydroelectric power facility, 80 km north of the town of Nemaska, 320 km northeast of the town of Matagami, and 800 km north of Montreal, in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec. The property consists of map-designated claims totaling approximately 233 square kilometres (“km2”).
 
Eastmain Mine
 
The Eastmain Mine project hosts the Eastmain Mine gold deposit. The past-producing Eastmain Mine project comprises 152 mineral claims and an industrial lease. Located on the eastern most part of the Upper Eastmain River Greenstone Belt of the James Bay region of northern Québec, the property covers approximately 80 km2 of highly prospective terrain.
 
In 2019, Benz Mining Corp. (“Benz Mining”) entered into an option agreement with Eastmain to allow Benz Mining the option to earn a 75% interest in the Eastmain Mine property in return for making option payments of $2,320 between October 2019 and October 2023, and incurring exploration expenditures of $3,500 on the property. The option payments may be settled in both cash and shares. Upon completion of the first option to earn 75%, Benz Mining may acquire the remaining 25% interest upon payment of $1,000. This option agreement was subsequently amended in April 2020 to grant Benz Mining the option to earn up to 75% of the Ruby Hill properties located to the west of the Eastmain Mine project. In October 2020, the Company received option payments from Benz Mining totaling $150 in cash and Benz Mining shares with a fair value upon receipt of $102. These option payments are due annually in October.
 
Éléonore South Joint Venture
 
The Éléonore South Joint Venture project consists of two separate blocks of map-designated claims, comprising a total of 282 claims covering approximately 147 km2 of the Opinaca area of James Bay, Québec. The Éléonore West block consists of 34 mineral claims covering approximately 18 km2, while the Éléonore South block contains 248 claims extending over an area of approximately 130 km2. The project is a three-way joint venture agreement between Eastmain, Azimut Exploration Inc. (“Azimut”), and Goldcorp Canada Ltd. (“Goldcorp Canada”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Corporation. Project ownership is based on participation in the funding of annual exploration programs. As such, the project is held by the joint operation partners approximately as follows: Fury Gold 36.7%, Goldcorp Canada 36.7%, and Azimut 26.6%. The Company is currently designated as operator.
 
Nunavut
 
Committee Bay
 
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary North Country, owns a 100% interest in the Committee Bay project located in Nunavut, Canada. The Committee Bay project includes approximately 280,000 hectares situated along the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located within the Western Churchill province of Nunavut. The Committee Bay project is subject to a 1% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) on gold production, with certain portions subject to an additional 1.5% NSR. The 1.5% NSR is payable on only 7,596 hectares and can be purchased by the Company within two years of commencement of commercial production for $2,000 for each one-third (0.5%) of the 1.5% NSR.

Note 6: Leases and right-of use assets

 
On October 9, 2020, as part of the Eastmain acquisition, the Company acquired a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) for a 5-year lease of office space that commenced on April 1, 2019. At the date of the acquisition, the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability were measured at fair value as part of the purchase price allocation (note 3).
 
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company amended the lease agreement, expanding the floor space and extending the term of the current lease by one year. The amendment was accounted for as a separate lease liability and additional ROU asset, with the original lease and ROU asset remaining unchanged. The new ROU asset was measured at the fair value of the lease liability at inception of the lease amendment and will be depreciated over the new lease term of 4.33 years on a straight-line basis. The new lease liability reflects the present value of the additional square footage, discounted over the new lease term at an interest rate of 10%, which approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
 
The Company’s ROU assets, recorded in property and equipment, and the corresponding lease liabilities were as follows:

Note 7: Flow-through share premium liability

 
Flow-through shares are issued at a premium, calculated as the difference between the price of a flow-through share and the price of a common share at that date. Tax deductions generated by eligible expenditures are passed through to the shareholders of the flow-through shares once the eligible expenditures are incurred and renounced. In July 2020, in response to the economic impact of COVID-19, the Government of Canada extended the timelines for eligible expenditures from 24 to 36 months.
 
As a result of the acquisition of Eastmain in October 2020 (note 3), the Company assumed a flow-through share premium liability of $590, representing the remaining expenditures to be incurred on the Québec projects before December 31, 2022, and which was renounced to investors in December 2020. This obligation was extinguished during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
 
In September 2020, the Company completed an equity financing by raising $23 million through the issuance of 7,750,000 subscription receipts (the “September 2020 Offering”); gross proceeds were held in escrow until the completion of the acquisition on October 9, 2020. Out of the subscription receipts sold, 5,000,000 were flow-through receipts for gross proceeds of $17.5 million and were exchanged for Fury Gold common shares designated as flow-through shares, while 2,750,000 subscription receipts were sold as non-flow-through for gross proceeds of $5.5 million and exchanged for Fury Gold common shares. The flow-through proceeds will be used for mineral exploration in Québec. The Company is committed to incur the remaining exploration expenditures of $11,876 (December 31, 2020 – $17,500) before December 31, 2022, which was renounced to investors in December 2020.

Note 8: Provision for site reclamation and closure

 
The Company recognizes a provision for site reclamation and closure, which reflects the present value of the estimated amount of cash flows required to satisfy the asset retirement obligation in respect of the Committee Bay project and Québec properties. The components of this obligation are the removal of equipment currently being used at the sites as well as costs associated with the reclamation of the camp housing and work sites on the properties. The estimate of future asset retirement obligations is subject to change based on amendments to applicable laws, management’s intentions, and mining lease renewals. 
 
The key assumptions used to calculate the present value of the future estimated cash flows of the Company’s projects are as follows:
 
Undiscounted cash flow obligation for site reclamation of $5,066 (December 31, 2020 – $5,060);
 
Expected timing of future cash flows is based on mining leases expiration, which is between the years 2026 and 2041;
 
Annual inflation rate of 2% (December 31, 2020 – 2%); and
 
Risk-free interest rate of 1.84% (December 31, 2020 – 1.21%).
 
 
The present value of the liability for the site reclamation and closure provision for the Company’s projects was as follows:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 130,000 and 130,000 share options, respectively, to directors, officers, and employees. The weighted average fair value per option of these share options was calculated as $0.87 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the grant date.
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company granted 50,672 and 50,672 share options (75,000 and 75,000 pre-consolidation), respectively, to directors, officers, and employees. The weighted average fair value per option of these share options was calculated as $1.64 ($0.90 pre-consolidation) using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the grant date.
 
The fair value of the share-based options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the Government of Canada benchmark bond yields and treasury bills with a remaining term that approximates the expected life of the share-based options. The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical and implied volatility of the Company’s common shares. The expected forfeiture rate and the expected life in years are based on historical trends.
 
Share option plan
 
The Company maintains a rolling share option plan providing for the issuance of share options up to 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant. The Company may grant share options from time to time to its directors, officers, employees, and other service providers. The share options vest as to 25% on the date of the grant and 12.5% every three months thereafter for a total vesting period of 18 months.

(1) Universal Mineral Services Ltd. (“UMS”) is a private company with one director in common, Mr. Ivan Bebek. UMS provides geological, financial, and transactional advisory services as well as administrative services to the Company on an ongoing, cost recovery basis. Having these services available through UMS, on an as needed basis, allows the Company to maintain a more efficient and cost-effective corporate overhead structure by hiring fewer full-time employees and engaging outside professional advisory firms less frequently. The agreement has an indefinite term and can be terminated by either party upon providing due notice. 
 
The outstanding balance owing at June 30, 2021, was $53 (December 31, 2020 – $109) which is included in accounts payable. In addition, the Company had $150 on deposit with UMS as at June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – $150) which is included in prepaid expenses and deposits.

Bridge loan
 
In February 2020, the Company amended the original Bridge Loan (“Amended Bridge Loan”) to provide mutual conversion rights to the lender and the Company, and also reduce the annual interest rate from 10% to 5% from the date of amendment. The Amended Bridge Loan was identified as a compound instrument. The Company used the residual method to determine the allocation of the Amended Bridge Loan between the liability and equity component by first determining the fair value of the debt ($2,912), discounted at an effective interest rate of 18%, and allocating the residual value, net of deferred taxes, to the equity component ($154). The loss on derecognition of the original Bridge Loan was $159.
 
In July 2020, the Amended Bridge Loan was converted to 1,318,877 (1,952,084 pre-consolidation) common shares at a price of $2.37 ($1.60 pre-consolidation) per share for the $3 million principal loan and the $123 of interest that accrued at a rate of 10% per annum up to the date of the loan amendment. The balance of the interest on the loan, that accrued at a rate of 5% per annum, was then settled in cash to the lender. The loss on derecognition of the Amended Bridge Loan was $65.
 
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value
 
The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements are as follows:
 
Level 1 – fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2 – fair values based on inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3 – fair values based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
 
The Company’s policy to determine when a transfer occurs between levels is to assess the impact at the date of the event or the change in circumstances that could result in a transfer. No transfers occurred between the levels during the period.

Financial instruments and related risks
 
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risks, which include currency risk and interest rate risk. As at June 30, 2021, the primary risks were as follows:
 
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company proactively manages its capital resources and has in place a budgeting and cash management process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its current project development plans and achieve its growth objectives. The Company ensures that there is sufficient liquidity available to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash outflows from exploration and development activities, and its holdings of cash and marketable securities. The Company monitors and adjusts, when required, these exploration and development programs as well as corporate administrative costs to ensure that adequate levels of working capital are maintained.
 
As at June 30, 2021, the Company had unrestricted cash of $5,452 (December 31, 2020 – $15,361), working capital of $1,115 (December 31, 2020 – working capital of $8,353), which the Company defines as current assets less current liabilities, and an accumulated deficit of $148,944 (December 31, 2020 – $139,959). The Company notes that the flow-through share premium liability, which reduced the Company’s working capital by $5,089 (December 31, 2020 – $7,644), is not settled through cash payment. Instead, the flow-through share premium liability will be drawn down as the Company incurs exploration expenditures for the Eau Claire project. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Fury Gold incurred a loss of $4,060 and $8,985 (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 – $2,734 and $5,449), respectively, and expects to continue to incur operating losses in relation to exploration activities. With no source of operating cash flow, there is no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its mineral properties.
