An Exploration Stage Enterprise
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

 
1. Nature of Business
 
Hunt Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "Hunt"), is a mineral exploration company incorporated on January 10, 2006 under the laws of Alberta, Canada and, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the exploration of mineral properties in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.

Effective November 6, 2013, the Company continued from the Province of Alberta to the Province of British Columbia.  The Company's registered office is located at #530, 355 Burrard Street
Vancouver, B.C.  V6C 2G8.  The Company's head office is located at 23800 E Appleway Avenue, Liberty Lake, Washington, USA.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances:

 
Corporation
 
Incorporation
Percentage

Business Purpose
Cerro Cazador S.A.
Argentina
100%
Holder of Assets and Exploration Company
1494716 Alberta Ltd.
Alberta

Nominee Shareholder
Hunt Gold USA LLC
Washington, USA
100%
Management Company

The Company's primary activity is the exploration of mineral properties in Argentina. On the basis of information to date, the Company has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The underlying value of the mineral properties is entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and upon future profitable production or a sale of these properties.

2. Basis of presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments and share based compensation measured at fair value.  In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

The Company's functional and presentation currency is the Canadian Dollar.

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS that have a significant effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and estimates with significant risk of material adjustment in the current and following years are discussed in Note 6 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015



These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue on May 27, 2016 by the Board of Directors of the Company.

3. Going Concern
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is an exploration stage company and has incurred significant losses since its inception. As shown in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has had minimal revenues and has incurred an accumulated loss of $37,979,190 through March 31, 2015 (December 31, 2015 - $37,282,555).  The Company intends to fund operations for the next twelve months with loans or investments from directors, officers and third parties.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability to obtain necessary financing to complete development and fund operations and future production or proceeds from their disposition. Additionally, the current capital markets and the deteriorating commodity markets worldwide provide no assurance that the Company's funding initiatives will continue to be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used.

4. Significant Accounting Policies

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those applied in the Company's December 31, 2015 annual audited consolidated financial statements except as disclosed in Note 5.  These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for full set of annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year end December 31, 2015.

5. Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Existing Standards

At the date of these condensed interim condensed interim consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company's accounting policy for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncements but does not anticipate any material changes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as a result of their adoption.  Information on new standard, amendment and interpretation that is expected to be relevant to the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015



IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The amendment clarifies circumstances in which an entity reclassifies an asset (or disposal group) from held for sale to held for distribution (or vice versa), and in circumstances which an entity no longer meets the criteria for held for distribution.

This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting

The amendment clarifies the meaning of disclosure of information 'elsewhere in the interim financial report' and requires a cross reference.

This amendment is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

These amendments require an acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to: (a) apply all of the business combinations accounting principles in IFRS 3 and other IFRS standards, except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in IFRS 11; and (b) disclose the information required by IFRS 3 and other IFRS standards for business combinations.  The amendments apply both to the initial acquisition of an interest in joint operation, and the acquisition of an additional interest in a joint operation (in the latter case, previously held interests are not re-measured).

These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows)

These amendments require that the following changes in liabilities arising from financing activities are disclosed (to the extent necessary): (i) changes from financing cash flows; (ii) changes arising from obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses; (iii) the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates; (iv) changes in fair values; and (v) other changes.  One way to fulfil the new disclosure requirement is to provide areconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the statement of financial position for liabilities arising from financing activities. Finally, the amendments state that changes in liabilities arising from financing activities must be disclosed separately from changes in other assets and liabilities.

This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. To be classified and measured at amortised cost, assets must satisfy the business model test for managing the financial assets and have certain contractual cash flow characteristics. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value. This standard allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income, with dividends as a return on these investments being recognised in profit or loss. In addition, those equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income would no longer have to apply any impairment requirements nor would there be any 'recycling' of gains or losses through profit or loss on disposal. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with IAS 39, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch.

This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single principle-based framework to be applied to all contracts with customers. IFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standard IAS 18, Revenue, and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition. The standard scopes out contracts that are considered to be lease contracts, insurance contracts and financial instruments. The new standard is a control-based model as compared to the existing revenue standard which is primarily focused on risks and rewards. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. Transfer of control occurs when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits of the good or service.

This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose 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. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16's approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17.

12. Performance bond

The performance bond, originally required to secure the Company's rights to explore the La Josefina property, is a step-up US dollar denominated 2.5% coupon bond, paying quarterly, issued by the Government of Argentina with a face value of US$600,000 and a maturity date of 2035.  The bond trades in the secondary market in Argentina.  The bond was originally purchased for $292,877 (US$247,487).  As of the three months ended March 31, 2016, the value of the bond increased to $543,467 (US$419,131).  The changes in the face value of the performance bond of $53,847 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 (March 31, 2015 - $132,387) are recorded as comprehensive income in the Company's condensed interim consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Since Cerro Cazador S.A. ("CCSA") fulfilled its exploration expenditure requirement mandated by the agreement with Fomento Minero de Santa Cruz Sociedad del Estado ("Fomicruz"), the performance bond was no longer required to secure the La Josefina project.  Therefore, in June 2010 the Company used the bond to secure the La Valenciana project, an additional Fomicruz exploration project.

13. Value added tax receivable ("VAT")

The Company's VAT receivable as of March 31, 2016 was $845,942 (December 31, 2015 - $868,809).  These amounts reflect the VAT receivable accrued due to the payment of VAT on certain transactions in Argentina.  The Company expects reimbursement on the VAT once the exports of minerals have commenced, the Company has estimated that if successful in finding an economic mineral deposit, production will begin in 2019. The asset is reported at net present value based upon the Company's estimate of when it will have future revenues.  The Company uses an expected production date of December 31, 2019, and a discount rate of 24.5% based upon the average Argentine interest rates and will record an adjustment in the present value of the VAT receivable at December 31, 2016.  The net change of the VAT receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was ($22,867) (three months ended March 31, 2015 – ($86,179)).

15. Related Party Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred $53,209 (March 31, 2015 – $34,655) in professional fees expense relating to the services of the President of CCSA.  Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at March 31, 2016 was $81,680 (December 31, 2015 - $90,960) owing to the President of CCSA for professional geological fees.  Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at March 31, 2016, the Company had a payable due to the President of CCSA for $Nil (December 31, 2015 - $373) for field expenses.  Included in prepaid expenses as at March 31, 2016, the Company had a receivable due from the President of CCSA for $1,104 (December 31, 2015 - $Nil) for cash advanced for field expenses.

The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable.  The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
· Level 1:  inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
· Level 2:  inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors, which can be observed or corroborated in the market place.
· Level 3:  inputs are less observable, unavoidable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the instruments' fair value.

Fair value

As at March 31, 2016, there were no changes in the levels in comparison to December 31, 2015.  The fair values of financial instruments are summarized as follows:

Cash and equivalents, marketable securities and performance bond are measured based on Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy on a recurring basis.

The carrying value of accounts receivable, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The Company assessed that there were no indicators of impairment for these financial instruments.

Financial risk management
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, price risk and interest rate risk.

i. Currency risk
The Company holds cash balances, incurs payables and has receivables that are denominated in the Canadian Dollar, the United States Dollar and the Argentine Peso. These balances are subject to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar, and the United States Dollar and the Argentine Peso, resulting in currency gains or losses for the Company.
As at March 31, 2016, the following are denominated in US dollars:
Cash and equivalents
 
$
17,791
 
Performance bond
 
$
543,467
 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
 
$
506,259

$

Other credits
 
$

$

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and the Argentine Peso could have an effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.

At March 31, 2016, if the U.S. dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% relative to the Canadian dollar the impact on loss and other comprehensive loss would be as follows:

   
Impact on net loss and
comprehensive loss
 
U.S. Dollar Exchange rate – 10% increase
 
$
(41,344
)
U.S. Dollar Exchange rate – 10% decrease

At March 31, 2016, if the Argentine Peso strengthened or weakened by 10% relative to the Canadian dollar the impact on loss and other comprehensive loss would be as follows:

Argentine Peso Exchange rate – 10% increase
 
$
(100,840
)
Argentine Peso Exchange rate – 10% decrease
 
$
100,840
 
 
ii. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company's cash and equivalents are held through Canadian, United States and Argentine financial institutions.

The Company maintains its cash and equivalents in multiple financial institutions. The Company maintains cash in an Argentine bank. The Argentine accounts, which had a Canadian dollar balance of $17,753 at March 31, 2016 (December 31, 2015 - $38,388) are considered uninsured and may be at risk in case of the failure of the bank.

The Company controls for this risk by only keeping funds in Argentina sufficient to meet approximately two months of operating expenses.

The Company pays VAT to the Argentine government on all expenses in Argentina.  This creates a VAT receivable owed by the government of Argentina.  The Company's receivable at March 31, 2016 is $845,942 ($1,309,172 – undiscounted) (December 31, 2015 - $868,809 ($1,353,998 – undiscounted)).  The Company believes this to be a collectible amount and it is backed in the strength and laws of the Argentine government.  If for some reason the government did not pay, changed the laws, defaulted on the receivable or the Company never achieved any mineral production, the Company could lose the full value of the receivable.
 
iii. Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.  The Company is dependent on the capital markets to raise capital by issuing equity in the Company to support operations. The current environment is prohibitive for the issuance of capital and there is no guarantee that should the Company need to raise new capital to support operations it will be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all.  All of the Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities are current and payable within one year.
iv. Price risk
The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.  A dramatic decline in commodity prices could impact the viability of the Company and the carrying value of its properties. The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices.  There is minimal price risk at the present time as the Company is not yet in the production phase.
v. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could have on the Company's earnings and liabilities.  In the normal course of business, the Company's exposure to interest rate risk is low due to the fact that the amounts outstanding are insignificant.
17. Segmented Information
 
All of the Company's operations are in the mineral properties exploration industry with its principal business activity in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.  The Company conducts its resource properties exploration activities primarily in Argentina.
 
The location of the Company's assets by geographic area as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

The agreement with Fomicruz requires the Company to spend USD $5,000,000 in exploration on the project over 7 years.  If the Company elects to exercise its option to bring the La Valenciana project into production it must grant Fomicruz a 9% ownership in a new JV Corporation to be created by the Company to manage the project. If Fomicruz elects to increase their ownership they can under the following formula up to a maximum of 49% interest.

· To purchase an additional 10% in the JV corporation, Fomicruz must reimburse the Company for 10% of the exploration expenses made by the Company during the exploration period;

· To purchase the next 10% interest in the JV corporation, Fomicruz must reimburse the Company for 20% of the exploration expenses made by the Company during the exploration period;

· To purchase a final additional 20% interest in the JV Corporation, Fomicruz must reimburse the Company for 25% of the exploration expenses made by the Company during the exploration period; bringing Fomicruz's total ownership interest in the JV Corporation to 49%.

At the Company's option it can purchase all but the 9% granted ownership interest in the JV Corporation from Fomicruz for USD $200,000 per percentage point owned.  If Fomicruz decides not to increase its stake in the company pursuant to the foregoing stipulations, or if it does so and CCSA buys it back, CCSA will have the option to acquire 10% (ten percent) of the initial 9% stake of Fomicruz S.E., in which case, it must reach an agreement with Fomicruz S.E. on the amounts to be paid.
