FORM 40-F

 

Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 40-F is being filed in order to include certain exhibits omitted from the initial Registration Statement on Form 40-F filed on September 23, 2020, to correct a typographical error and insert certain disclosure inadvertently omitted from Exhibits 99.2 and 99.33 in the initial Registration Statement on Form 40-F. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not, and does not purport to, amend or restate any other information contained in the initial Registration Statement Form 40-F. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the initial Registration Statement on Form 40-F.

 

Principal Documents

 

The documents filed or incorporated by reference as Exhibits 99.1 through 99.88 hereto, each of which is incorporated by reference into this registration statement, contain all information material to an investment decision that Midas Gold Corp., since January 1, 2019, the beginning of its last completed fiscal year, (i) made or was required to make public pursuant to the laws of British Columbia or Canada, (ii) filed or was required to file with the Toronto Stock Exchange and which was made public by the TSX, or (iii) distributed or was required to distribute to its security holders.

 

Midas Gold prepares its consolidated financial statements, which are attached to this registration statement as Exhibits, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and those financial statements are subject to Canadian auditing standards. Therefore, those financial statements are not comparable in all respects to the financial statements of issuers that prepare their financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and that are subject to United States auditing standards.

 

Resource and Reserve Estimates

 

The documents incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. In Canada, an issuer is required to provide technical information with respect to mineralization, including “Mineral Reserves” and “Mineral Resources” (both as defined under Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum standards), if any, on its mineral exploration properties in accordance with Canadian requirements, which differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to registration statements and reports filed by United States companies pursuant to the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As such, information contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein concerning descriptions of mineralization under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC, as further described in the documents incorporated by reference herein.

 

Mr. Conrad Huss, one of our experts named in the exhibits incorporated by reference herein, is deceased. Accordingly, Midas Gold is no longer relying upon the work of Mr. Huss, in his personal capacity, for purposes of this filing. M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation, the employer of Mr. Huss, should now be regarded as the expert with respect to the preparation, review and approval of the disclosure attributed to Mr. Huss.

 

Description of Common Shares

 

The required disclosure is included under the headings “Dividends and Distributions”, “Description of Capital Structure – Authorized Capital” and “Description of Capital Structure – Common Shares” in Midas Gold’s Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
