Basis of Preparation

 

2.1

Statement of Compliance

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

 

The Company's significant accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those described in Note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The Company's consolidated financial statements and those of its controlled subsidiaries are presented in Canadian dollars ("$" or "dollars"), which is the Company's reporting currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise indicated.

 

The Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three month period ended February 28, 2023 were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on April 12, 2023.

 

2.2

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

 

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those described in Note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements.

     Long-term Investments

 

As at February 28, 2023, the Company's long-term investments consist of equity securities in Gold Royalty Corp. ("GRC") and NevGold Corp. ("NevGold"), measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") and warrants held in NevGold, measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). Long-term investments in equity securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss. During the three months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $13,290 (three months ended February 28, 2022: unrealized loss of $25,902) and a deferred tax recovery of $1,797 (three months ended February 28, 2022: deferred tax recovery of $3,497) in other comprehensive loss relating to its long-term investments. Refer to tables below for movement in long-term investments measured at FVTOCI.

 

Investment in Gold Royalty Corp.

 

The Company's investment in GRC is recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss. 20.7 million of the GRC shares held by the Company are pledged as security for the Company's margin loan (Note 7).

 

During the three months ended February 28, 2023, the Company acquired 44,632 GRC common shares for $131 including transaction costs, through open market purchases over the facilities of the NYSE American.

 

NevGold Corp.

 

On December 1, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 2,976,200 units ("Units") of NevGold in a brokered private placement, which closed on December 5, 2022, for a total purchase price of $1,250 (Note 5). Each Unit, priced at $0.42 per Unit, consisted of one common share of NevGold (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant") of NevGold. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.60 until December 5, 2024. Unless permitted under securities legislation, the NevGold Shares can not be traded before April 6, 2023.

 

At initial recognition, the purchase price of $1,250 was allocated to the value of the Common Shares and Warrants. The fair value of the Common Shares was determined to be $1,042 based on quoted market prices. The initial fair value of the Warrants of $208 was determined on a residual basis. The Warrants are subsequently measured at FVTPL using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

The fair value of the NevGold Warrants are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   

February 28,

2023

   

November 30,

2022

 

Risk-free interest rate

    4.21 %     -  

Expected life (years)

    1.77       -  

Expected volatility

    90.35 %     -  

Estimated dividend yield

    0.00 %     -  

 

On January 1, 2023, pursuant to the Option Agreement signed with NevGold on the Almaden Project (Note 5) the Company received 3,658,536 common shares of NevGold with a fair value of $1,134. Unless permitted under securities legislation, these NevGold Shares can not be traded before May 2, 2023.

On June 13, 2022, the Company and its subsidiary entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with NevGold and a subsidiary of NevGold, pursuant to which, among other things, it agreed to grant an option to acquire 100% of the Company's Almaden Project to NevGold's subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms thereof, on July 4, 2022 (the "Option Agreement Closing Date"), the Company closed the grant of the option to NevGold's subsidiary for 4,444,444 common shares of NevGold ("NevGold Shares").

 

To exercise the option, NevGold must, among other things:

 

make additional payments totaling $6,000 to GoldMining's subsidiary between January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024, which payments may be satisfied by NevGold in cash or through the issuance of NevGold Shares, on the following dates:

 

o

January 1, 2023: $1,500 (completed)

 

o

July 1, 2023: $1,500

 

o

January 1, 2024: $3,000

In the event that NevGold elects to satisfy any of the foregoing payments by issuing NevGold Shares, the number of such shares will be based upon the volume weighted average price of the NevGold Shares for the then-applicable 30-trading day period.

 

 

complete qualifying expenditures on the Project aggregating to $2,250, comprised of $1,500 on or before June 1, 2023, and a further $750 on or before December 31, 2023.

 

 

Additionally, NevGold is required to make success-based contingent payments totaling up to $7,500 to GoldMining, payable in cash or shares at the election of NevGold:

 

o

$500 on completion of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment

 

o

$2,500 on completion of a positive Preliminary Feasibility Study

 

o

$4,500 on completion of a positive Feasibility Study

 

GoldMining had agreed to, subject to certain conditions, purchase additional NevGold equity in an amount to the lesser of $1,250 and 40% of the total gross proceeds raised by NevGold in certain qualifying financings announced prior to November 30, 2022. The Company completed the purchase of shares in NevGold with a value of $1,250 on December 5, 2022 (Note 3).

 

On January 1, 2023, pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company received 3,658,536 common shares of NevGold with a fair value of $1,134 (Note 3). As the carrying value of the Almaden Project was $nil on the date of the receipt of the option payment, the Company recorded a recovery on grant of mineral property option of $1,134.

Margin Loan Payable

 

On October 28, 2021, as amended on July 27, 2022 and October 27, 2022, the Company established a margin loan facility (the "Facility") for $13.4 million (US$10 million). The Facility: (i) is subject to an interest rate of 3-month USD Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Finance Rate ("SOFR") plus 5.65% per annum, with the unutilized portion of the Facility subject to a standby fee of 3.00% per annum; (ii) matures on the earlier of October 27, 2023 or an earlier repayment date in accordance with its terms; (iii) is secured by 20,700,000 shares of GRC owned by the Company; and (iv) is subject to customary loan-to-value and minimum share price requirements and conditions to drawdowns. In addition, the Company paid a one-time facility fee equal to 1.50% of the Facility. The Facility provided for a minimum outstanding advance of $9.4 million (US$7 million) and certain customary early repayment fees in the event that any portion of such minimum amount is repaid prior to maturity.

 

On February 28, 2023, the Company and the lender modified the Facility, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company repaid $2.7 million (US$2.0 million) without incurring early prepayment fees and the Facility's margin and pricing requirements were amended in light of existing market conditions. The amended Facility provided for a minimum outstanding advance of $7.1 million (US$5.2 million).

 

The Company does not currently expect to make further drawdowns prior to the upcoming maturity of the Facility. Further drawdowns and additional availability under the Facility are subject to satisfying certain conditions, which would not be met as of February 28, 2023. As of February 28, 2023, the outstanding principal is $7.2 million (US$5.3 million).

 

During the three months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded a loss on modification of margin loan of $130 as a result of executing an amendment to the loan Facility.

At-the-Market Equity Program

 

On December 10, 2021, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the "2021 Distribution Agreement") with a syndicate of agents for an at-the-market equity distribution program (the "ATM Program"). The 2021 Distribution Agreement allows the Company to distribute up to US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of its common shares (the "ATM Shares"). The ATM Shares sold under the ATM Program, were sold at the prevailing market price on the TSX or the NYSE, as applicable, at the time of sale. The 2021 Distribution Agreement was terminated on December 30, 2022.

 

On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into a new ATM Program which replaces the previous ATM program which was set to expire on January 1, 2023 in accordance with its terms. Pursuant to the new ATM Program, the Company may distribute up to US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of ATM Shares. The ATM Shares sold under the new ATM Program, if any, will be sold at the prevailing market price on the TSX or the NYSE, as applicable, at the time of sale. Sales of ATM Shares will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement dated December 30, 2022 (the "2022 Distribution Agreement"). Unless earlier terminated by the Company or the agents as permitted therein, the new ATM Program will terminate upon the earlier of: (a) the date that the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the ATM Shares sold under the ATM Program reaches the aggregate amount of US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars); or (b) November 27, 2023.

 

During the three months ended February 28, 2023, the Company issued 4,139,920 common shares under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of $7,633, with aggregate commissions paid to agents of $191.

The Company's restricted share plan (the "RSP") was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") on November 27, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the RSP, the Board may designate directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of the Company eligible to receive restricted share rights ("RSR(s)") to acquire such number of GoldMining Shares as the Board may determine, in accordance with the restricted periods schedule during the recipient's continual service with the Company. There are no cash settlement alternatives. The RSP was approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with its term at the Company's annual general meeting held on May 25, 2019.

 

The RSRs vest in accordance with the vesting schedule during the recipient's continual service with the Company. The Company classifies RSRs as equity instruments since the Company has the ability and intent to settle the awards in common shares. The compensation expense for standard RSRs is calculated based on the fair value of each RSR as determined by the closing value of the Company's common shares at the date of the grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period of the RSR.  The Company expects to settle RSRs, upon vesting, through the issuance of new common shares from treasury.

U.S. GoldMining Inc. Equity Incentive Plan

 

On September 23, 2022, (the "Effective Date"), the Company's subsidiary, U.S. GoldMining Inc. ("USGMI"), domiciled in Nevada, adopted an equity incentive plan (the "Legacy Incentive Plan"). Unless sooner terminated by US GoldMining's board of directors, the Legacy Incentive Plan will terminate and expire on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. No award may be made under the Legacy Incentive Plan after its expiration date, but awards made prior thereto may extend beyond that date. The purpose of the Legacy Incentive Plan is to attract and retain the services of key employees, key contractors, and outside directors of US GoldMining and its subsidiaries. The Legacy Incentive Plan only provides for the grant of restricted stock awards. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the grant of the restricted stock awards shall be 1,000,000 shares of common stock in US GoldMining.

 

9.6

U.S. GoldMining Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

On February 6, 2023 (the "Effective Date"), US GoldMining adopted a long-term incentive plan ("2023 Incentive Plan"). Unless sooner terminated by US GoldMining's board of directors, the 2023 Incentive Plan will terminate and expire on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. No award may be made under the 2023 Incentive Plan after its expiration date, but awards made prior thereto may extend beyond that date.

 

The purpose of the 2023 Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive for employees, directors and certain consultants and advisors of US GoldMining or its subsidiaries to remain in the service of US GoldMining or its subsidiaries, to extend to them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in US GoldMining so that they will apply their best efforts for the benefit of US GoldMining, and to aid US GoldMining in attracting able persons to enter the service of US GoldMining and its subsidiaries. The 2023 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance awards, restricted stock awards and other cash and equity-based awards.

 

The aggregate number of shares of US GoldMining's common stock issuable under the 2023 Incentive Plan in respect of awards is equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares issued and outstanding determined as of the Effective Date, of which 100% of the available shares may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options (the "ISO Limit"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the first trading date immediately following the issuance of any shares by US GoldMining to any person (the "Adjustment Date"), the number of shares of our common stock available under the 2023 Incentive Plan shall be increased so that the total number of shares issuable under the 2023 Incentive Plan shall be equal to 10% of the total number of shares issued and outstanding, as determined as of the Adjustment Date, provided that no such adjustment shall have any effect on the ISO Limit, except for any adjustments summarized below.

Shares to be issued may be made available from authorized but unissued shares of common stock, shares of common stock held by US GoldMining in its treasury, or shares of common stock purchased by US GoldMining on the open market or otherwise. During the term of the 2023 Incentive Plan, US GoldMining, will at all times, reserve and keep enough shares of common stock available to satisfy the requirements of the 2023 Incentive Plan. If an award under the 2023 Incentive Plan is cancelled, forfeited or expires, in whole or in part, the shares subject to such forfeited, expired or cancelled award may again be awarded under the 2023 Incentive Plan.

 

Awards that may be satisfied either by the issuance of shares of common stock or by cash or other consideration shall be counted against the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2023 Incentive Plan only during the period that the award is outstanding or to the extent the award is ultimately satisfied by the issuance of shares of common stock. Shares of common stock otherwise deliverable pursuant to an award that are withheld upon exercise or vesting of an award for purposes of paying the exercise price or tax withholdings shall be treated as delivered to the participant and shall be counted against the maximum number of available shares. Awards will not reduce the number of shares of common stock that may be issued, however, if the settlement of the award will not require the issuance of shares of common stock. Only shares forfeited back to US GoldMining, shares cancelled on account of termination, or expiration or lapse of an award, shall again be available for grant of incentive stock options under the 2023 Incentive Plan, but shall not increase the maximum number of shares described above as the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options.

U.S. GoldMining Inc. Restricted Shares

 

On September 23, 2022, US GoldMining granted awards of an aggregate of 635,000 shares of performance based restricted shares (the "Restricted Shares") of common stock under the Legacy Incentive Plan to certain of US GoldMining's and GoldMining's executive officers, directors and consultants.

Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment, reclamation deposits and long-term investments. The Company's financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, and margin loan payable. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:

 

 

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

 

The Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture and due to related parties approximate fair value due to their short terms to settlement. The Company's margin loan payable is current, is measured at amortized cost and classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the margin loan approximates its fair value as its interest rate is comparable to current market rates. The Company's short-term investments and long-term investments in common shares of equity securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of short-term and long-term investments is based on the quoted market price of the short-term and long-term investments. The fair value of warrants to purchase shares in NevGold were initially determined on a residual basis and subsequently measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The significant inputs used are readily available in public markets and therefore have been classified as level 2. Inputs used in the Black-Scholes model for the valuation of the warrants include risk-free interest rate, volatility, and dividend yield.

10.1

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

 

The financial risk arising from the Company's operations are currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and equity price risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with the Company's financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

 

10.2

Currency Risk

 

The Company's operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in United States dollars, the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso and Canadian dollars. The exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies against the Company and its subsidiaries functional currencies. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure.

 

The Canadian dollar equivalents of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets are as follows:

 

   

As at February 28,

   

As at November 30,

 
   

2023

   

2022

 
      ($)       ($)  

Assets

               

United States Dollar

    66,959       80,053  

Brazilian Real

    25       44  

Colombian Peso

    223       392  

Total

    67,207       80,489  

 

The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States Dollars and total $7,232.

 

The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States Dollar on the investment in GRC by 10% at February 28, 2023 would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $5,386 on other comprehensive loss for the three months ended February 28, 2023. The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States Dollar on the Company's other financial instruments based on balances at February 28, 2023 would have an impact of $230 on net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2023.

 

10.3

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's exposure to interest rate risk arises from the impact of interest rates on its cash, guaranteed investment certificates, lease liabilities and margin loan payable, which bear interest at fixed or variable rates. The interest rate risks on the Company's cash and cash equivalents and lease liabilities are minimal. The Company's margin loan bears a floating interest rate and an increase (decrease) of 10 basis points in the 3-month USD Adjusted Term SOFR would not have a significant impact on net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2023. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.

 

10.4

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company's bank balances.

 

The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balances by holding cash and cash equivalents with Schedule I chartered banks in Canada and their US affiliates.

10.5

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities.  To manage liquidity risk the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations.  As at February 28, 2023, the Company has working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $88.  The Company's other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, lease liabilities, margin loan and withholding taxes payable are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period.

 

The Company has current cash and cash equivalent balances, access to its ATM Program, whereby the Company has the ability to issue shares for cash, and ownership of liquid assets at its disposal. The Company owns 21.22 million shares of NYSE listed Gold Royalty Corp. (closing share price as of February 28, 2023 of US$2.15 reflects a value of US$45.6 million), 12.56 million shares of NevGold (value of $4.6 million) and received dividends of $287 from GRC during the three months ended February 28, 2023. GoldMining believes that its cash on hand, access to its ATM Program and ability to enter into future borrowings collateralized by the GRC and NevGold shares after the maturity of the existing Facility will enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve months commencing from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.  

 

10.6

Equity Price Risk

 

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding its long-term investments. The Company does not actively trade its long-term investments. The equity prices of its long-term investments are impacted by various underlying factors including commodity prices. Based on the Company's long-term investments held as at February 28, 2023, a 10% change in the equity prices of its long-term investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $5,386 on other comprehensive loss for the three months ended February 28, 2023.

 

11.

Related Party Transactions

 

11.1

Related Party Transactions

 

Related party transactions not disclosed elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
