PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights certain information about us, this offering, and selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. For a more complete understanding of the Company and this offering, we encourage you to read and consider the more detailed information in this prospectus, including “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and related notes. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company” refers to “Western Magnesium Corporation,” a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “$” or “US$” in this prospectus refer to United States dollars, and all references to “CAD$” refer to Canadian dollars.

Our Company

We are a reporting issuer in Canada listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) under the symbol “WMG”. Our common stock is also traded in the United States on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets (the “OTCQB”) under the symbol “MLYF” and in Germany on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “3WM”.

We have developed proprietary magnesium production technology with the aim of becoming a premier low-cost producer of green primary magnesium metal. We are in the final stages of construction and commencing test production of magnesium at a research and development pilot plant in metropolitan Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We have commenced testing at this facility in the last calendar quarter of 2021 and our proprietary continuous reactor has begun operation and has produced magnesium metal under our target temperature and pressure in the second calendar quarter of 2022. The remainder of the equipment is undergoing final checks which will allow the plant to enter the demonstration phase. Our proprietary technology utilizes a continuous silicothermic process that is expected to produce high grade magnesium with low labor and energy costs while generating minimal waste and toxic by-products.

In addition, we own a 100% interest in 81 unpatented lode mining claims totaling approximately 1,673 acres (the “Tami Mosi Mining Claim”), four unpatented lode mining claims totaling approximately 10 acres located in the Moor Mining District in Elco County, Nevada and a 100% interest in three patented mining claims located in the Pinto mining district of Nevada totaling approximately 296 acres (the “Silverado Mining Claim”). We do not plan on commencing extraction of minerals at this time from any mining claims we hold because we have identified alternative sources of supply of dolomite and ferrosilicon, the primary raw materials used to produce pure magnesium. We may in the future, however, commence extraction of minerals from the Tami Mosi Mining Claim if we are unable to purchase raw materials from the alternative sources we have identified at commercially reasonable rates. In addition, we do not consider our mining claims to be material to our business or financial condition.

Corporate History

We were incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on March 24, 1966 as “Ft. Lauderdale Resources Inc.” We changed our name to Amcorp Industries Inc. on July 20, 1990, to Molycor Gold Corporation on May 17, 1996, to Nevada Clean Magnesium Inc. on April 16, 2012 and to Western Magnesium Corporation on May 14, 2019. On May 14, 2019, we discontinued from the jurisdiction of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and domesticated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware under the name “Western Magnesium Corporation.” In connection with the name change, we also changed our stock symbol to “WMG” on the TSXV. We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Western Magnesium Corp., incorporated in the State of Nevada in the United States which owns our mining claim in the Schell Creek Range located southeast of Ely, Nevada and manages the Company’s Nevada properties; and Western Magnesium Canada Corp., incorporated on May 3, 2019 in British Columbia, Canada which manages our Canadian operations.

General Development of Our Business

In 2006, we acquired the Silverado Mining Claim. During the year ended October 31, 2013, an impairment was recorded on this claim for $412,793 reducing its book value to $1.

In 2009, we acquired 27 mining claims totaling approximately 1,744 acres on property located southeast of Beaverdell, British Columbia (the “Beaverdell Mining Claim”). During the year ended October 31, 2013, an impairment was recorded on this claim for $335,133 reducing its book value to $1. During the year ended October 31, 2020, we sold our interest in the Beaverdell Mining Claim for $50,000 and recognized a gain on sale of $37,156.

On October 9, 2006, we acquired the Tami Mosi Mining Claim. On May 1, 2009, an Initial Resource Estimate was completed by Norm Tribe & Associates, Ltd. On June 11, 2010, a Phase 1 Process Development Study for Exploitation of the Tami Mosi Mining Claim was completed by Haze Research, Inc. On August 3, 2011, an updated resource estimate was completed by Tetra Tech, Inc. (“Tetra Tech”), on September 15, 2011 a Preliminary Economic Assessment and Technical Report of the Tami-Mosi Magnesium Project was completed by Tetra Tech and amended on July 4, 2014.

On April 4, 2017, we completed construction of a bench scale test furnace that employed our proprietary continuous silicothermic process and in October 2017, we successfully completed furnace preparations - a major milestone in the testing of our bench scale pilot furnace.

In November 2017, we completed “proof of concept” in the production of magnesium metal from our bench scale test furnace. The metal produced was a result from a partial test charge being conducted in order to identify any operational deficiencies in the furnace prior to a full charge test of dolime material.

In January 2018, we received a final assay report assessing the purity of the raw magnesium metal produced from our bench scale pilot furnace test program. In accordance with ASTM International standard ASTM E1479-16, the testing was analyzed via inductively coupled plasma (ICP). This unrefined magnesium metal was found to have a very good metal purity capable of producing ASTM B92 grade metal with minimal treatment. No impurities were found which would impact food grade applications.

In July 2018, we entered into an agreement with Industrial Surplus Ltd. (“ISL”) to build a silicothermic reduction furnace based on our bench scale test furnace.

In December 2018, our technical team produced a magnesium ingot from dolomite obtained from the Tami Mosi Mining Claim. This accomplishment completed the proof-of-concept stage allowing us to develop a pilot magnesium furnace based on the bench scale furnace.

Our Business

We have developed proprietary magnesium production technology with the aim of becoming a premier low-cost producer of green primary magnesium metal. We are in the final stages of construction and commencing test production at a research and development pilot plant in Metropolitan Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We have commenced test production at this facility in the last calendar quarter of 2021 and our proprietary continuous reactor has begun operation and has produced magnesium metal under our target temperature and pressure in the second calendar quarter of 2022. The remainder of the equipment is undergoing final checks which will allow the plant to enter the demonstration phase. Our proprietary technology utilizes a continuous silicothermic process that is expected to produce high grade magnesium with low labor and energy costs while generating minimal toxic by-products.

Plan of Operations

In order to complete construction and testing at our planned research and development pilot plant, the following are the key milestones that we expect to achieve over the next 12 months following the date of this prospectus:

● Commission the plant and complete final training of operations staff;

● Commence metal production under various scenarios to ensure sufficient data is collected;

● Begin the request for proposal process for commercial engineering, procurement and construction management (“EPCM”) firm;

● Select EPCM firm;

● Review all pilot data with chosen EPCM firm and validate proposed required operational scenarios; and

● Begin geotechnical assessments of proposed full-scale magnesium production facility in Harrison County, Ohio.

We estimate that the costs to complete this work will be approximately $8,000,000. We have commenced testing of the pilot reactor in the last calendar quarter of 2021 and our proprietary continuous reactor has begun operation and has produced magnesium metal under our target temperature and pressure in the second calendar quarter of 2022. Continuous demonstration phase operation is expected to take place throughout the third calendar quarter of 2022.

Following completion of our magnesium research and development pilot plant, we intend to construct a full-scale magnesium production facility with expected capacity to produce 100,000 metric tons per year that will be scalable for greater production levels located on 122 acre property located in Harrison County, Ohio. The proposed plant will be adjacent to the future home of a modern mixed fuels power plant which is expected to provide power to our planned magnesium production plant. The proposed Harrison County, Ohio location is close to a dolomite supply and has an infrastructure of rail and highway that is capable of transporting our magnesium finished product to industries across the United States. Our plans will require a significant amount of additional capital. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.” We have no current plans to extract minerals from any of our mining claims. See “Description of Business – Properties.”

Magnesium and Its Production

Magnesium is the lightest of all commonly used structural metal, following steel and aluminum. It is the lightest and strongest of the structural metals, it is one fourth the weight of steel, two fifths the weight of titanium and two thirds the weight of aluminum. Magnesium has multiple industrial and consumer applications. Magnesium ingots are a prime raw material input for the production of titanium and aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys. Magnesium powder and granules are used to remove sulfur in the production of steel. Due to their unique light weight and high strength properties, magnesium alloys are used in a variety of aircraft and automobile parts, as well as in electronic equipment such as computers, cameras and cellular phones.

Most magnesium produced globally comes from natural minerals such as dolomite and magnesite in the form of magnesium carbonate. It can also be found in seawater and in salt lakes brines or underground mineral salt deposits. Magnesium can be produced through several different methods including the electrolytic process or thermal-reduction as practiced in the most commonly used Pidgeon process.

The electrolytic process involves the electrolysis of molten magnesium chloride which produces molten magnesium and chlorine. The metal is cast into ingots for further processing as needed and the chlorine by-product may be sold for use in the production of polymers such as polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC).

In the thermal-reduction method calcined magnesium containing ores (magnesite and dolomite) are broken down into fine powder and mixed with reducing agents and catalyst agent. The mixture is heated in a vacuum chamber producing magnesium vapors which later condense into crystals. The crystals are then melted, refined and poured into ingots for further processing.

The Pidgeon process, using ferrosilicon as a catalyst, is most commonly used for production of magnesium as its operation is relatively easy and has a low capital cost. The traditional process using horizontal retorts is high in energy consumption and has low productivity.

Intellectual Property—Patents, Trademarks

We regularly seek to protect our intellectual property rights in connection with our production process and methods. We rely on non-disclosure/confidentiality agreements and segregate development and engineering duties among certain members of our development team to protect our intellectual property rights. To the extent we describe or disclose our proprietary production techniques, we redact or request redaction of such information prior to public disclosure. Despite these measures, we may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. Effective trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which we offer or intend to produce magnesium or offer our products for sale to the same extent as in the United States. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could impair our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing our intellectual property rights could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources and may not prove successful. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful. See “Risk Factors” with respect to intellectual property.

We own the website domain www.westernmagnesium.com and www.westmagcorp.com and social media accounts across certain major platforms.

We do not have any patents or trademarks nor have we filed any patent or trademark applications in the United States or Canada.

Employees

As of April 30, 2022, we had 31 employees. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China and caused significant disruptions to its economy, it has now spread to several other countries and infections have been reported globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. In order to combat the spread of COVID-19, governments worldwide, including the Unites States and Canada, have enacted emergency measures including travel bans, legally enforced or self-imposed quarantine periods, social distancing and business and organization closures. These measures have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The impact on us has not been significant but could affect our ability to raise financings in the future and restrict travel. Management continues to monitor the situation.

Selling Stockholder

June 2021 Securities Purchase Agreement and 12% Convertible Debenture

On June 10, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2021 SPA”) with Alpha Capital Anstalt (the “Selling Securityholder”), pursuant to which we issued a 12% convertible debenture (the “2021 Debenture”) with a maturity date of December 10, 2022, in the principal sum of $1,500,000. Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Debenture, we agreed to pay to the Selling Securityholder interest on the principal balance at the rate of 12% per annum. We intend to use the proceeds for working capital. The Selling Securityholder may convert the principal amount of the 2021 Debenture and, upon receipt of TSXV approval, accrued interest into our common stock (subject to the beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% in the 2021 Debenture; provided however, that the limitation on conversion may be waived by the Selling Securityholder upon, at the election of the Selling Securityholder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to us) at any time at a conversion price equal to $0.10 per share (the “2021 Conversion Price”), as the same may be adjusted as provided in the 2021 Debenture. In addition, upon each conversion of the 2021 Debenture, the Selling Securityholder is entitled to receive (i) Class A Warrants exercisable into 50% of the conversion shares being issued on such conversion at an exercise price of $0.13 (the “Class A Warrants”); and (ii) Class B Warrants exercisable into 50% of the conversion shares being issued on such conversion at an exercise price of $0.19 per share (the “Class B Warrants,” together with the Class A Warrants, the “2021 Warrants”). The 2021 Warrants may be exercised until June 10, 2026.

The 2021 Debenture may be prepaid by the Company so long as an event of default has not occurred, upon 20 days’ prior written notice received by the holder, by paying 125% of the amounts owed on the 2021 Debenture, including all principal, interest and other fees. The holder of this debenture may, however, convert all or a portion of the debenture during the 20-day notice period.

In event of default under the 2021 Debenture, the interest rate shall increase to the lesser of 20% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law until paid and the following “Mandatory Default Amount” shall be paid by us, if demanded by the Purchaser: the sum of (a) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Debenture divided by the 2021 Conversion Price on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (A) demanded (if demand or notice is required to create an event of default) or otherwise due or (B) paid in full, whichever has a lower 2021 Conversion Price, multiplied by the VWAP on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (x) demanded, (y) due, or (z) paid in full, whichever is highest, or (ii) 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Debenture plus (b) all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the 2021 Debenture.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 SPA, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of all shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the 2021 Debenture and upon exercise of the 2021 Warrants. We agreed to file the registration statement with the SEC within 60 days following June 10, 2021 and to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days following June 10, 2021. In addition, pursuant to the 2021 SPA, we agreed to give the Selling Securityholder certain piggy-back registration rights if we do not have an effective registration statement covering the shares issuable upon conversion of the 2021 Debenture and the 2021 Warrants and we propose to file any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to our common stock.

April 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement and 15% Convertible Debenture

On April 14, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2022 SPA”) with the Selling Securityholder, pursuant to which we issued a 15% convertible debenture (the “2022 Debenture”) with a maturity date of October 14, 2023, in the principal sum of $2,000,000. Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Debenture, we agreed to pay to the Selling Securityholder interest on the principal balance at the rate of 15% per annum. We intend to use the proceeds for working capital. The Selling Securityholder may convert the principal amount of the 2022 Debenture and, upon receipt of TSXV approval, accrued interest into our common stock (subject to the beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% in the 2022 Debenture; provided however, that the limitation on conversion may be waived by the Selling Securityholder upon, at the election of the Selling Securityholder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to us) at any time at a conversion price equal to $0.30 per share (the “2022 Conversion Price”), as the same may be adjusted as provided in the 2022 Debenture. In addition, upon each conversion of the 2022 Debenture, the Selling Securityholder is entitled to receive a warrant (the “2022 Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 100% of the conversion shares being issued on such conversion. The 2022 Warrants may be exercised for a period of five years after the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2022 Warrants.

The 2022 Debenture may not prepaid prior to maturity and contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and breach of provisions of the 2022 Debenture or the 2022 SPA.

In event of default under the 2022 Debenture, the interest rate shall increase to the lesser of 20% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law until paid and the following “Mandatory Default Amount” shall be paid by us, if demanded by the Purchaser: the sum of (a) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the 2022 Debenture divided by the 2022 Conversion Price on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (A) demanded (if demand or notice is required to create an event of default) or otherwise due or (B) paid in full, whichever has a lower 2021 Conversion Price, multiplied by the VWAP on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either (x) demanded, (y) due, or (z) paid in full, whichever is highest, or (ii) 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2022 Debenture plus (b) all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the 2022 Debenture.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 SPA, on April 14, 2022, we also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated April 14, 2022, by and between us and the Selling Securityholder (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of all shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the 2022 Debenture, upon exercise of the 2022 Warrants, upon conversion of the 2021 Debenture and upon exercise of the 2021 Warrants. We agreed to file the registration statement with the SEC within 30 days following April 14, 2022 and to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 60 days following April 14, 2022 if the SEC does not review it or by August 12, 2022 if the SEC reviews it. In the event we fail to file the registration statement or such registration statement is not declared effective within the time periods noted above or such registration statement is not kept effective while any of the securities registered pursuant to such registration statement, we will be obligated to pay the holder of the debentures a penalty in cash, in the amount of $20,000 on the date of such failure and on the 30th day of each month following such failure. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary indemnification provisions.

The 2021 Debenture and the 2022 Debenture are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Convertible Debentures”. The 2021 Warrants and the 2022 Warrants are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Warrants”.

RISK FACTORS

The following are certain factors relating to our business. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or currently deemed immaterial by us, may also impair our operations. If any such risks actually occur, our shareholders could lose all or part of their investment and its business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected and its ability to implement its growth plans could be adversely affected. Our shareholders should evaluate carefully the following risk factors associated with the shares of common stock.

Risks Related to our Business and Operations

Although our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, we must raise additional capital to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern.

Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2021, indicating that we have not generated revenues since inception, have incurred losses in developing our business, anticipate further losses and we require additional funds to meet our obligations and the costs of our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business. In addition, trading in our common stock is subject to the “Penny Stock” rules adopted by the SEC which regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with Penny Stocks quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices. Consequently, these factors could make it difficult for investors to sell their shares and cause them to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment.

9

We anticipate that our principal sources of liquidity may not be sufficient to fund our activities over the next twelve months. In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital in order to continue as a going concern and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

We incurred net losses in the six months ended April 30, 2022 and fiscal years 2021 and 2020 with net cash used in operating activities and cannot provide assurance as to when or if we will become profitable and generate cash in our operating activities.

We incurred net losses of $23,549,612 and $4,672,605 and net cash used in operating activities of $6,367,567 and $3,270,534 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, we incurred net losses of $13,765,286 and $2,554,388 and net cash used in operating activities of $4,037,307 and $1,335,724 for the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of April 30, 2022, we had an aggregate accumulated deficit of $65,894,907. Such losses have historically required us to seek additional funding through the issuance of debt or equity securities. In addition, we have historically experienced and may prospectively experience fluctuations in our quarterly earnings due to the nature of our business. Our long-term success is dependent upon among other things, completion of an operational magnesium production facility and generating revenue from sales of magnesium to reduce our cash needs, and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve sales of magnesium.

We anticipate requiring substantial additional financing to operate our business and we may face difficulties acquiring additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

We will need additional capital in the approximate amount of $8,000,000 to complete the buildout of our planned research and development pilot magnesium production plant and ultimately a full-scale production facility as well as sustain our operations and will need to seek further financing. If we fail to raise additional capital, as needed, our ability to implement these plans will be compromised. To date, our operations and production plant development have been funded from the proceeds of debt and equity financings. We expect to require substantial additional capital in the future primarily to fund working capital requirements of our business, including operational expenses, planned capital expenditures for our research and development pilot plant and ultimately a full-scale production facility and debt service.

Even if we obtain financing for our near-term operations and capital expenditures, we expect that we will require additional capital thereafter. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors including: (i) the costs and timing of completion of construction of a full- scale magnesium production facility; (ii) achieving magnesium sales; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures.

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership held by our existing shareholders will be reduced and our shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences, or privileges that are senior to those of existing securities. If we raise additional capital by incurring debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, market fluctuations in the price of our securities could limit our ability to obtain equity financing.

No assurance can be given that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected, and we could be forced to reduce or discontinue our operations.

We have significant indebtedness under our debt obligations, which also include significant restrictions on our operations.

The significant level of indebtedness represented by the Convertible Debentures could have important consequences to our shareholders due to the following potential factors: (i) difficulty in satisfying obligations and covenants with respect to indebtedness; (ii) limitations on the ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate requirements and increased cost of any additional borrowing; (iii) a requirement to pay the full principal amount plus accrued interest upon maturity on December 10, 2022 with respect to the 2021 Debenture and October 14, 2023 with respect to the 2022 Debenture, thereby reducing the amount of cash available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes; and (iv) placing us at a disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors.

Our ability to repay the principal and accrued interest upon maturity, or to refinance, our indebtedness will depend on our stock price and our ability to raise additional equity and/or indebtedness and future cash flow, which is subject to our completion of a full-scale magnesium production facility, future sales of magnesium, prevailing economic conditions, prevailing interest rate levels, and financial, competitive, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

10

The Convertible Debentures contain numerous restrictive covenants that limit our discretion with respect to certain business matters, including our ability to incur additional indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell additional securities and to merge or consolidate with another entity or to make certain restricted payments, including declaring or paying dividends or other distributions. Our failure to comply with our obligations under the Convertible Debentures could result in a default, which, if not waived, could permit acceleration of the Convertible Debentures. If the Convertible Debentures were to be accelerated, there can be no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to repay in full that indebtedness.

The 2021 Debenture will need to be repaid, renewed, refinanced or converted no later than December 10, 2022 and the 2022 Debenture will need to be repaid, renewed, refinanced or converted no later than October 14, 2023. Although we believe that we can negotiate an extension or renewal of the Convertible Debentures or obtain replacement financing, if necessary, prior to the maturity of each of the Convertible Debentures, there can be no assurance that the maturity date under either of the Convertible Debentures will be extended or renewed or that future borrowings will be available to us, or available on acceptable terms, in an amount sufficient to meet our financing requirements at their respective maturity dates. If such an extension or renewal or future borrowings were not available, or not available on acceptable terms, in each case, as necessary at the applicable time, it would have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

We may be subject to risks associated with increased liabilities and the ability to meet our debt obligations.

We have incurred substantial liabilities, in addition to the Convertible Debentures, to invest in the businesses of our subsidiaries. These liabilities have increased the risk of an investment in our common stock because the liabilities increase our need for capital to pay them. Our ability to pay our accounts payable and other liabilities and comply with the terms and conditions of our Convertible Debentures will depend upon our future performance and will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our business and operations, including general economic conditions. There are no assurances that we will be able to pay all of our liabilities as they become due.

If we fail to implement our development plans, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

A fundamental part of our strategy is to construct and operate a research and development pilot magnesium production facility using a continuous silicothermic reactor system technology we have developed. Although we have already commenced production for the purposes of testing and certification in the last calendar quarter of 2021 and have raised approximately $15,989,098 in fiscal 2021 and through the date of this prospectus, we will need additional financing to implement our development strategy to construct a full-scale magnesium production facility. We may not have access to the funding required for this plan on acceptable terms. Our development plans may also suffer significant delays as a result of a variety of factors, such as legal and regulatory requirements, either of which could prevent us from completing our plans as currently expected. In addition, even if we can implement our strategy, development in the magnesium market, increased sales to various industries, including the automobile industry may not materialize to the extent we expect, or at all, resulting in unutilized magnesium production capacity. Any failure to successfully implement our business strategy, including for any of the above reasons, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We may, in addition, decide to alter or discontinue certain aspects of our business strategy at any time.

We may not be able to obtain necessary permits and authorizations.

We may not be able to obtain the necessary licenses, permits, certificates, or authorizations to operate our planned research and development pilot magnesium production facility in Metropolitan Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and commence mining activities on our Tami Mosi Mining Claim, or may only be able to do so at great cost. In addition, we may not be able to comply fully with the wide variety of laws and regulations applicable to magnesium production and mineral mining. Failure to comply with or to obtain the necessary licenses, permits, certificates, or authorizations could result in a delay in our ability to operate our planned research and development pilot magnesium production facility, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are subject to a broad range of health, safety and environmental laws, regulations and other requirements in Canada and the U.S. that may expose us to substantial claims, costs, and liabilities.

Magnesium production and mining is subject to numerous complex and stringent federal, state, and local laws, regulations, policies, and other requirements, including those related to health, safety, environmental, and waste management and disposal matters, which may expose us to substantial claims, costs, and liabilities. We may be subject to fines, penalties and other damages, such as natural resource damages and the costs associated with the investigation and cleanup of soil, surface water, groundwater, and other media under laws such as CERCLA (commonly known as Superfund) or similar U.S. and foreign regulations. These laws, regulations, policies, and other requirements could change or be applied or interpreted in ways that could (i) require us to enjoin, curtail, development of our planned research and development pilot magnesium production facility and mining operations in Nevada, including the implementation of corrective measures, the installation of additional equipment, or the undertaking of other remedial actions, or (ii) subject us to enforcement risk or impose on or require us to incur additional capital expenditures, compliance or other costs, fines, or penalties, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock.

11

Once we commence magnesium production at our planned research and development pilot facility in Canada, the costs of complying with such laws, regulations, policies and other requirements, including participation in assessments, remediation activities, and cleanups of sites, as well as internal voluntary programs, are expected to be significant for the foreseeable future.

In addition, because environmental laws, regulations, policies and other requirements are constantly evolving, we expect to incur costs to maintain compliance and such costs could increase materially and prove to be more limiting and costly than we anticipate. Evolving standards and expectations can result in increased litigation and/or increased costs, all of which can have a material and adverse effect on our business operations, expected revenues and cash flows. Future compliance with environmental, health and safety legislation and other regulatory requirements or expectations may prove to be more limiting and costly than we anticipate and may disrupt our plans for development of a magnesium production facility.

Global climate change is an international concern and could impact our ability to conduct future operations.

Global climate change is an international issue and receives an enormous amount of publicity. We would expect that the imposition of international treaties or federal, state or local laws or regulations pertaining to mandatory reductions in energy consumption or emissions of greenhouse gases could affect the feasibility of our magnesium production and increase our operating costs.

Additionally, legislation and increased regulation regarding climate change could impose significant costs on us and/or our suppliers, including costs related to increased energy requirements, capital equipment, environmental monitoring and reporting and/or other costs to comply with such regulations. Any adopted future climate change regulations could also negatively impact our ability to compete with companies situated in areas not subject to such regulations. Given the political significance and uncertainty around the impact of climate change and how it should be dealt with, we cannot predict how legislation and regulation will affect our financial condition, operating performance or ability to compete.

We will not have a highly diversified portfolio of assets.

We have invested in and plan to operate solely within the magnesium industry. Thus, an investment in our company will provide limited diversity as to asset type. Additionally, the assets to be held by us will be geographically concentrated as we intend to operate a single magnesium production facility in the United States. This lack of diversification could increase the risk associated with the revenue stream we expect to receive from the production and sale of magnesium and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We face risks related to our information technology systems, and potential cyber-attacks and security and privacy breaches.

Our use of technology is critical in our continued operations. We are susceptible to operational, financial and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or technological malfunctions. Successful cyber-attacks and/or technological malfunctions affecting us, or our service providers can result in, among other things, financial losses, the inability to operate our planned magnesium production facility, the unauthorized release of customer information or confidential information and reputational risk. We have not experienced any material losses to date relating to cybersecurity attacks, other information breaches or technological malfunctions. However, there can be no assurance that we will not incur such losses in the future. As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, we may be required to use additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate security vulnerabilities.

We may store and collect personal information about future customers and will be responsible for protecting that information from privacy breaches that may occur through procedural or process failure, information technology malfunction or deliberate unauthorized intrusions. Any such theft or privacy breach would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition. We are subject to laws, rules and regulations in the United States and other jurisdictions relating to the collection, processing, storage, transfer and use of personal data. Our ability to execute transactions and to possess and use personal information and data in conducting our business subjects us to legislative and regulatory burdens that may require us to notify regulators and customers, employees and other individuals of a data security breach. Evolving compliance and operational requirements under the privacy laws, rules and regulations of jurisdictions in which we operate impose significant costs that are likely to increase over time. In addition, non-compliance could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities and/or significant fines, could negatively impact our reputation and may otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

We face risks related to our insurance coverage and uninsurable risks.

Our business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, accidents, fires, labor disputes and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to assets, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in operations, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

12

Although we intend to continue to maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as we consider to be reasonable, our insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with our operations. We may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards encountered in our operations is not generally available on acceptable terms. We might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which we may not be insured against or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause us to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon our financial performance and results of operations.

We are dependent on key inputs, suppliers and skilled labor for the production of magnesium.

The production of magnesium is dependent on a number of key inputs and their related costs, including raw materials and supplies related to smelting operations, as well as electricity and other local utilities. Any significant interruption or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs, such as dolomite, could materially impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. Some of these inputs may only be available from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. If a sole source supplier was to go out of business, we might be unable to find a replacement for such source in a timely manner, or at all. If a sole source supplier were to be acquired by a competitor, that competitor may elect not to sell to us in the future. Any inability to secure required supplies and services, or to do so on appropriate terms, could have a materially adverse impact on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition. We plan to purchase key inputs on a purchase order basis from suppliers at market prices based on its production requirements and anticipated demand. We believe that we will have access to a sufficient supply of the key inputs for the foreseeable future.

Our planned magnesium production operations are expected to consume considerable energy, which makes us vulnerable to rising energy costs. Accordingly, rising or volatile energy costs may adversely affect our business and our ability to operate profitably.

The ability to compete and grow will be dependent on us having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to skilled labor, equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in maintaining our required supply of skilled labor, equipment, parts and components. This could have a material effect on our financial results.

Our inability to attract and retain key personnel could materially adversely affect our business.

Our success is dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of our senior management and key personnel. We compete with other companies both within and outside the magnesium industry to recruit and retain competent employees. If we cannot maintain qualified employees to meet the needs of our anticipated growth, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We may be subject to growth-related risks.

We may be subject to growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls. Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage our employee base. Our inability to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.

We are currently involved in litigation, and there may be additional litigation in which we will be involved in the future.

We are currently involved in litigation. An adverse decision in the litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, even if we are successful in the litigation, we will likely incur substantial legal fees in asserting our claims against the respondents and in defending against the counterclaims and, thus, these legal fees could have a material adverse effect on our anticipated business, financial condition or results of operations.

We may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business which could adversely affect our business. Should any litigation in which we become involved be determined against us such a decision could materially adversely affect our ability to continue operating and the market price for our common stock and could use significant resources.

Our intellectual property may be difficult to protect.

We rely upon certain proprietary intellectual property, including but not limited to proprietary processes as it relates to magnesium production. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain and enhance protection over our intellectual property, know-how and other proprietary information. We enter into confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, developers, and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential and not disclose to third-parties confidential information developed by the receiving party or made known to the receiving party by us during the course of the receiving party’s relationship with us. These agreements also generally provide that inventions conceived by the receiving party in the course of rendering services to us will be our exclusive property, and we enter into assignment agreements to perfect our rights. These confidentiality, inventions, and assignment agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign rights to proprietary information to us. In addition, our proprietary information could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case we may not be able to prevent the use of such proprietary information by our competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using our proprietary information could be difficult, expensive, and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect such proprietary information. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful intellectual property protection could adversely affect our ability to compete with other magnesium producers.

Our failure to adequately maintain and enhance protection over our proprietary information could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We may be exposed to infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties, which, if determined adversely to us, could subject us to significant liabilities and other costs.

Our success depends on our ability to use and develop new production technologies without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. We cannot assure that third parties will not assert intellectual property claims against us. If third parties assert copyright or patent infringement or violation of other intellectual property rights against us, we will be required to defend our self in litigation or administrative proceedings, which can be both costly and time consuming and may significantly divert the efforts and resources of management personnel. An adverse determination in any such litigation or proceedings to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liability to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties, require us to pay ongoing royalties or subject us to injunctions that may prohibit the development and operation of our planned magnesium production facility.

We expect to face significant competition, which may have an adverse effect on expected revenues.

We expect to compete with a variety of both U.S. and non-U.S. magnesium producers as well as with producers of other materials, such as aluminum alloy, steel, titanium, plastics, composites, ceramics, and glass, among others. Use of such materials could reduce the demand for magnesium products, which may reduce our expected revenues once we complete construction of our planned full-scale magnesium production facility. Factors affecting our ability to compete include increased competition from overseas producers, our competitors’ pricing strategies, the introduction or advancement of new technologies and equipment by our competitors or our customers, changes in our customers’ strategy or material requirements, and our ability to achieve cost-efficiency of our planned facility. See “Description of Business – Competitive Conditions and Our Position”.

We are subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States.

We are treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”)) subject to Canadian income taxes. We are also treated as a U.S. corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code and are subject to U.S. federal income tax on our worldwide income. As a result, we are subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

It is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. However, dividends received by shareholders who are residents of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act will be subject to U.S. withholding tax. Any such dividends may not qualify for a reduced rate of withholding tax under the Canada-United States tax treaty. In addition, a foreign tax credit or a deduction in respect of foreign taxes may not be available.

Dividends received by U.S. shareholders will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax but will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. Dividends paid by us will be characterized as U.S. source income for purposes of the foreign tax credit rules under the Code. Accordingly, U.S. shareholders generally will not be able to claim a credit for any Canadian tax withheld unless, depending on the circumstances, they have an excess foreign tax credit limitation due to other foreign source income that is subject to a low or zero rate of foreign tax.

Dividends received by shareholders that are neither Canadian nor U.S. shareholders will be subject to U.S. withholding tax and will also be subject to Canadian withholding tax. These dividends may not qualify for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax under any income tax treaty otherwise applicable to our shareholders, subject to examination of the relevant treaty.

Because our common stock is treated as shares of a U.S. domestic corporation, the U.S. gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer tax rules generally apply to a non-U.S. shareholder of our common stock.

Each shareholder should seek tax advice, based on such shareholder’s particular circumstances, from an independent tax advisor.

14

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective, and our independent auditors may not be able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to various Canadian and U.S. reporting and other regulatory requirements. We have incurred and will continue to incur expenses and, to a lesser extent, diversion of our management’s time in our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and applicable Canadian securities laws regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by us conducted in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and applicable Canadian securities laws, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm when required, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retrospective changes to our consolidated financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers, and employees under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights for our obligations to our directors, officers, and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.

Our bylaws, as amended, contain a provision permitting us to eliminate the personal liability of our directors to us and our shareholders for damages incurred as a director or officer to the extent provided by Delaware law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under any future employment agreements with our officers or agreements entered into with our directors. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and the resulting costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders.

An exclusive forum provision in our bylaws, as amended, and Delaware law may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring claims in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits.

Our bylaws, as amended, provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, as amended; any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, as amended; and any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

This exclusive forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring certain claims in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find either exclusive forum provision in our bylaws, as amended, to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur further significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

This exclusive forum provision will not apply, however, to actions arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

There may be difficulty in enforcing judgments and effecting service of process on directors and officers that are not citizens of the United States.

Certain of our directors and officers reside outside of the United States and some or all of the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. Therefore, it may not be possible for shareholders to collect or to enforce judgments or liabilities against them under U.S. securities laws. Moreover, it may not be possible for shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons.

Generally, original actions to enforce liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may not be brought in a Canadian court. Such actions must be brought in a court in the United States with applicable jurisdiction. Persons obtaining judgments against us in United States courts, including judgments obtained under U.S. federal securities laws, will then be required to bring an application in a Canadian court to enforce such judgments in Canada.

Risks Related to our Securities

A return on our common stock is not guaranteed.

There is no guarantee that our common stock will earn any positive return in the short term or long term. A holding of our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by holders whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. A holding of our common stock is appropriate only for holders who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their holdings.

Additional issuances of our common stock, or securities convertible into our common stock, may result in dilution.

We may issue additional equity or convertible debt securities in the future, which may dilute our existing shareholder’s holdings. Our certificate of incorporation permits the issuance of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation permits the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, and existing shareholders will have no pre-emptive rights in connection with such further issuances. Our board of directors has discretion to determine the price and the terms of further issuances, and such terms could include rights, preferences and privileges superior to those existing holders of our common stock. Moreover, additional shares of our common stock will be issued by us on the conversion of the Convertible Debentures in accordance with its terms. To the extent holders of our options or other convertible securities convert or exercise their securities and sell our common stock they receive, the trading price of our common stock may decrease due to the additional amount of common stock available in the market. Further, we may issue additional shares of our common stock in connection with strategic acquisitions. We cannot predict the size or nature of future issuances or the effect that future issuances and sales of our common stock (or securities convertible into our common stock) will have on the market price of our common stock. Issuances of a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock, or the perception that such issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. With any additional issuance of our common stock or preferred stock, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and economic interest in our company.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock may have an adverse effect on their market price.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time either by existing holders of our common stock, by the holder of the Convertible Debentures that is convertible into our common stock and the holders of warrants that may be exercised to acquire our common stock. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of shares of our common stock, Convertible Debentures or warrants intend to sell shares of our common stock, could reduce the market price of our common stock. If this occurs and continues, it could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities.

Future sales of common stock by management and other stockholders may have an adverse effect on the then prevailing market price of our common stock.

In the event a public market for our common stock is sustained in the future, sales of our common stock may be made by holders of our public float or by holders of restricted securities in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. In general, under Rule 144, a non-affiliated person who has satisfied a six-month holding period in a fully reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may, sell their restricted common stock without volume limitation, so long as the issuer is current with all reports under the Exchange Act in order for there to be adequate common public information. Affiliated persons may also sell their common shares held for at least six months, but affiliated persons will be required to meet certain other requirements, including manner of sale, notice requirements and volume limitations. Non-affiliated persons who hold their common shares for at least one year will be able to sell their common stock without the need for there to be current public information in the hands of the public. Future sales of shares of our public float or by restricted common stock made in compliance with Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the then prevailing market price, if any, of our common stock.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile.

The market price for securities of early-stage magnesium companies generally are likely to be volatile. In addition, the market price for our common stock has been and may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations;

● recommendations by securities research analysts;

● changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies in the industry in which we operate;

● addition or departure of our executive officers and other key personnel;

16

● registration of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures or exercise of the Warrants;

● sales or perceived sales of additional shares of our common stock;

● operating and financial performance that varies from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;

● regulatory changes affecting our industry generally and our business and operations both domestically and abroad;

● announcements of developments and other material events by us or our competitors;

● fluctuations in the costs of vital production materials and energy;

● changes in global financial markets, global economies and general market conditions, such as interest rates and price volatility of competitive products;

● significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;

● operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us or from a lack of market comparable companies; and

● news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in our industry or target markets.

Financial markets have at times historically experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that: (i) have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of companies and (ii) have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of our common stock from time to time may decline even if our operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that may result in impairment losses to us. There can be no assurance that further fluctuations in price and volume of equity securities will not occur. If increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, our operations could be adversely impacted, and the trading price of our common stock may be materially adversely affected.

Our common stock is or may become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.

Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. If our common stock is or becomes subject to the “penny stock” rules, it may be more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

17

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because all of our operations have been and will be financed through the sale of convertible debt and equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our operations. Such reductions may force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a material adverse effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to commence production of magnesium at our research and development pilot plant and ultimately at a full-scale production plant. If the price of our common stock declines, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not be able to have the resources to continue our plans to develop a full-scale magnesium production plant.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports or publish misleading, inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our business or our market, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If no or few securities or industry analysts cover us, the trading price and volume of our common stock would likely be negatively impacted. If one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or provides more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

An investor may face liquidity risks with an investment in our common stock.

Our common stock currently trades on the TSXV in Canada and is quoted on the OTCQB in the United States. We cannot predict at what prices our common stock will continue to trade, and there is no assurance that an active trading market will be sustained. Our common stock does not currently trade on any U.S. national securities exchange. In the event our common stock begins trading on any U.S. national securities exchange, we cannot predict at what prices it will trade and there is no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained. There is a material liquidity risk associated with an investment in our common stock.

Trading in securities quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors, some of which may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Markets is not a U.S. national securities exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a U.S. national securities exchange like the Nasdaq or the NYSE. These factors may result in investors having difficulty reselling our common stock on the OTC Markets.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, the ability of investors to achieve a return on their investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our common stock and do not currently intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings, if materialized, for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the success of an investment in our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which it was purchased.

General Risks

We may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions.

A global economic slowdown would cause disruptions and extreme volatility in global financial markets, increased rates of default and bankruptcy and declining consumer and business confidence, including as a result of COVID-19, which can lead to decreased levels of consumer spending. These macroeconomic developments could negatively impact our business, which depends on the general economic environment and levels of consumer spending. As a result, we may not be able to attract customers once we begin magnesium production, or we may be forced to reduce the price of our products. We are unable to predict the likelihood of the occurrence, duration or severity of such disruptions in the credit and financial markets or adverse global economic conditions. Any general or market-specific economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

18

We are subject to increased costs as a result of being a public company in Canada and the United States.

As a public company in Canada and the United States, we are subject to the reporting requirements, rules and regulations under the applicable Canadian and American securities laws and rules of stock exchanges on which our securities may be listed. There are increased costs associated with legal, accounting and other expenses related to such regulatory compliance. Securities legislation and the rules and policies of the TSXV require listed companies to, among other things, adopt corporate governance and related practices, and to continuously prepare and disclose material information, all of which add to a company’s legal and financial compliance costs. We may also elect to devote greater resources than we otherwise would have on communication and other activities typically considered important by publicly traded companies.

We are eligible to be treated as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company.” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (2) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this registration statement and periodic reports and proxy statements, and (3) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of July 31, 2022, or if we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following October 31. Additionally, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year period before July 31, 2022, we would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and the stock price may be more volatile.

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period allowed for emerging growth companies for complying with new or revised accounting guidance as allowed by Section 107 of the JOBS Act and Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholder for its own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales. We will not receive any proceeds from the conversion of the Convertible Debentures, but we will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $5,998,770 from the exercise of Warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all of the Warrants for cash. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

Resale of Common Stock by Selling Securityholders

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “MLYF.” The shares registered for resale in this prospectus being offered by the Selling Securityholders will be sold at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.

Issuance of Shares of Common Stock Underlying Convertible Debentures

The price of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Debentures is determined by reference to the conversion price in each of the respective Convertible Debentures, such that the principal amount and accrued interest upon receipt of TSXV approval (including any default interest) under each of the Convertible Debentures shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a rate of $0.10 per share and $0.30 per share, respectively.

Issuance of Shares of Common Stock Underlying Warrants

The price of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants is determined by reference to the exercise price of the Warrants, such that each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock at per share exercise prices of $0.13, $0.19 and $0.40, respectively.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The agreements into which we may enter in the future, including indebtedness, may impose limitations on our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions on our capital stock. Payment of future dividends on our common stock, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business.

MARKET PRICE FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Equity Compensation Plans

2017 Stock Option Plan

Our shareholders and board of directors approved a stock option plan effective on August 8, 2017 (the “2017 Stock Option Plan”) which consisted of a fixed number stock option plan reserving for issuance pursuant to the exercise of stock options a maximum of 35,219,701 shares of our common stock. At our shareholder meeting on August 8, 2018, our shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2017 Stock Option Plan to 36,643,701 (the “2017 Stock Option Plan Limit”).

The purpose of the 2017 Stock Option Plan is to attract and retain employees, officers, directors, consultants and management company employees to motivate them to advance our interests by affording them the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in our company through stock options. The 2017 Stock Option Plan was expected to benefit our shareholders by enabling us to attract and retain personnel of the highest caliber by offering to them an opportunity to share in any increase in the value of our common stock to which they have contributed.

Under the 2017 Stock Option Plan, the option exercise price must not be less than the last closing price of our common stock before the issuance of the required news release disclosing the grant of stock options (subject to the exceptions prescribed by the TSXV, less the applicable discount permitted by the policies of the TSXV). A stock option granted under the 2017 Stock Option Plan must, unless sooner terminated, expire on a date to be determined by our board of directors which cannot exceed ten years from the date the stock option is granted.

The number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance to any one optionee pursuant to stock options granted under the 2017 Stock Option Plan, together with any shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options granted to that optionee during the previous 12 months must not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock at the time of granting of the stock options, provided that the aggregate number of stock options granted to each of the following categories of optionee: (a) each individual consultant; and (b) persons performing investor relations activities on our behalf, must not exceed 2% of the outstanding Shares at the time of grant unless the TSXV permits otherwise.

Subject to the discretion of our board of directors to apply vesting to the grant of any stock option, the stock options granted to an optionee under the 2017 Stock Option Plan will fully vest on the date of grant of such stock options. In accordance with the policies of the TSXV, and subject to the TSXV’s approval to the contrary, stock options granted to consultants performing investor relations activities must vest (and not otherwise be exercisable) in stages over a minimum of 12 months with no more than ¼ of the stock options vesting in any three-month period.

If an optionee dies prior to the expiry of the optionee’s stock option, the optionee’s heirs, administrators or legal representatives may, by the earlier of: (a) one year from the date of the optionee’s death (or such lesser period as may be specified by our board of directors at the time of granting the stock option); and (b) the expiry date of the stock option; exercise any portion of such stock option. If an optionee ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant for any reason other than death, then such optionee’s stock option will terminate within a reasonable period to be determined by our board of directors commencing on the effective date the optionee ceases to be employed by or provide services to us (but only to the extent that such stock option has vested on or before the date the optionee ceased to be so employed or provide services to us) as provided for in the written option agreement between us and the optionee. The maximum exercise period upon such cessation is six months unless the optionee has entered into a valid employment or consulting agreement that provides for a longer exercise period, but in no case will the exercise period in such cessation be greater than one year unless prior TSXV approval has been given.

Subsequent to August 8, 2018 and up to June 11, 2021, we granted additional stock options and there were 42,170,000 stock options issued and outstanding, which was in excess of the 2017 Stock Option Plan Limit. Under TSXV policies, at our annual shareholders’ meeting on June 11, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Meeting”), we obtained (a) shareholder approval for the increase in the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2017 Stock Option Plan to 42,370,000 shares of our common stock (the “Increased Stock Option Limit”); and (b) Disinterested Shareholder Approval for the grant of 6,626,299 stock options on December 30, 2020 that resulted in the 2017 Stock Option Plan Limit being exceeded (the “Excess Stock Option Grant”). “Disinterested Shareholder Approval” means approval by a majority of the votes cast by all our shareholders at a duly constituted shareholders’ meeting, excluding votes attached to common stock beneficially owned by insiders that received the Excess Stock Option Grants. Edward Lee, our Executive Chairman, was granted 5,000,000 stock options on December 30, 2020, and Sam Ataya, our Executive President and CEO, was granted 4,500,000 stock options on December 30, 2020. These options have an exercise price of CAD$0.13 and expire on December 30, 2025.

Following the shareholder approval of the Increased Stock Option Limit, the Excess Stock Option Grant and the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan discussed below, we do not intend to grant additional stock options under the 2017 Stock Option Plan. Any shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2017 Stock Option Plan that are forfeited as a result of the expiration or termination of any awards under that plan after the date of adoption of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan will, however, be added to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

Our shareholders and our board of directors approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan effective June 11, 2021 and to reserve for the grant of awards under that plan up to 27,312,368 shares of our common stock. We are awaiting the TSXV’s approval of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan prior to it becoming effective.  The granting of awards under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is intended to attract and retain the highly qualified employees essential for the execution of our business strategy. We believe the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan will (i) attract and retain key personnel, and (ii) provide a means whereby our directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors and our subsidiaries can acquire and maintain an equity interest in our company, or be paid incentive compensation, including incentive compensation measure by reference to the value of our common stock, thereby strengthening their commitment to our welfare and aligning their interests with those of our stockholders. Eligible participants under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan include employees, directors and independent contractors (except those performing services in connection with the offer or sale of our securities in a capital raising transaction, or promoting or maintaining a market for our securities) of our company or our subsidiaries will be eligible to receive awards under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by our board of directors or such other committee appointed by our board of directors (the “Administrator”).

22

The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan provides for various equity-based and cash-based incentive awards, including incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance units and shares and other equity-based or cash-based awards.

The Administrator or its permitted delegates has the power and discretionary authority to determine the amount, terms and conditions of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan awards, including, without limitation, (i) the exercise price of any stock options or stock appreciation rights, (ii) the method of payment for shares purchased pursuant to any award, (iii) the method for satisfying any tax withholding obligation arising in connection with any award, including by net exercise or the withholding or delivery of shares, (iv) the timing, terms and conditions of the exercisability, vesting or payout of any award or any shares acquired pursuant thereto, (v) the performance criteria, if any, applicable to any award and the extent to which such performance criteria have been attained, (vi) the time of the expiration of any award, (vii) the effect of the participant’s termination of service on any of the foregoing, and (viii) all other terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to any award or shares acquired pursuant thereto as our board of directors shall consider to be appropriate and not inconsistent with the terms of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. A non-employee director may not be granted 2021 Equity Incentive Plan awards that exceed in the aggregate $300,000 in any calendar year. The foregoing limit does not apply to any award made pursuant to any election by the director to receive an award in lieu of all or a portion of annual and committee retainers and meeting fees.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company” refers to “Western Magnesium Corporation,” a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “$” or “US$” in this prospectus refer to United States dollars, and all references to “CAD$” refer to Canadian dollars.

Background

We have developed proprietary magnesium production technology with the aim of becoming a premier low-cost producer of green primary magnesium metal. We are in the final stages of construction and commencing test production of magnesium at a research and development pilot plant in metropolitan Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We have commenced testing at this facility in the last calendar quarter of 2021 and our proprietary continuous reactor has begun operation and has produced magnesium metal under our target temperature and pressure in the second calendar quarter of 2022. The remainder of the equipment is undergoing final checks which will allow the plant to enter the demonstration phase. Our proprietary technology utilizes a continuous silicothermic process that is expected to produce high grade magnesium with low labor and energy costs while generating minimal waste and toxic by-products.

In addition, we own a 100% interest in 81 unpatented lode mining claims totaling approximately 1,673 acres (the “Tami Mosi Mining Claim”), four unpatented lode mining claims totaling approximately 10 acres located in the Moor Mining District in Elco County, Nevada and a 100% interest in three patented mining claims located in the Pinto mining district of Nevada totaling approximately 296 acres (the “Silverado Mining Claim”). We do not plan on commencing extraction of minerals at this time from any mining claims we hold because we have identified alternative sources of supply of dolomite and ferrosilicon, the primary raw materials used to produce pure magnesium. We may in the future, however, commence extraction of minerals from the Tami Mosi Mining Claim if we are unable to purchase raw materials from the alternative sources we have identified at commercially reasonable rates. In addition, we do not consider our mining claims to be material to our business or financial condition. See “Description of Business – Properties.”

Corporate History

We were incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on March 24, 1966 as “Ft. Lauderdale Resources Inc.” We changed our name to Amcorp Industries Inc. on July 20, 1990, to Molycor Gold Corporation on May 17, 1996, to Nevada Clean Magnesium Inc. on April 16, 2012 and to Western Magnesium Corporation on May 14, 2019. On May 14, 2019, we discontinued from the jurisdiction of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and domesticated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware under the name “Western Magnesium Corporation.” In connection with the name change, we also changed our stock symbol to “WMG” on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Western Magnesium Corp., incorporated in the State of Nevada in the United States which owns our mining claim in the Schell Creek Range located southeast of Ely, Nevada and manages the Company’s Nevada properties; and Western Magnesium Canada Corp., incorporated on May 3, 2019 in British Columbia, Canada which manages our Canadian operations.

General Development of Our Business

In 2006, we acquired the Silverado Mining Claim. During the year ended October 31, 2013, an impairment was recorded on this claim for $412,793 reducing its book value to $1.

In 2009, we acquired 27 mining claims totaling approximately 1,744 acres on property located southeast of Beaverdell, British Columbia (the “Beaverdell Mining Claim”). During the year ended October 31, 2013, an impairment was recorded on this claim for $335,133 reducing its book value to $1. During the year ended October 31, 2020, we sold our interest in the Beaverdell Mining Claim for $50,000 and recognized a gain on sale of $37,156.

On October 9, 2006, we acquired the Tami Mosi Mining Claim. On May 1, 2009, an Initial Resource Estimate was completed by Norm Tribe & Associates, Ltd. On June 11, 2010, a Phase 1 Process Development Study for Exploitation of the Tami Mosi Mining Claim was completed by Haze Research, Inc. On August 3, 2011, an updated resource estimate was completed by Tetra Tech, Inc. (“Tetra Tech”), on September 15, 2011 a Preliminary Economic Assessment and Technical Report of the Tami-Mosi Magnesium Project was completed by Tetra Tech and amended on July 4, 2014.

28

On April 4, 2017, we completed construction of a bench scale test furnace that employed our proprietary continuous silicothermic process and in October 2017, we successfully completed furnace preparations - a major milestone in the testing of our bench scale pilot furnace.

In November 2017, we completed “proof of concept” in the production of magnesium metal from our bench scale test furnace. The metal produced was a result from a partial test charge being conducted in order to identify any operational deficiencies in the furnace prior to a full charge test of dolime material.

In January 2018, we received a final assay report assessing the purity of the raw magnesium metal produced from our bench scale pilot furnace test program. In accordance with ASTM International standard ASTM E1479-16, the testing was analyzed via inductively coupled plasma (ICP). This unrefined magnesium metal was found to have a very good metal purity capable of producing ASTM B92 grade metal with minimal treatment. No impurities were found which would impact food grade applications.

In July 2018, we entered into an agreement with Industrial Surplus Ltd. (“ISL”) to build a silicothermic reduction furnace based on our bench scale test furnace.

In December 2018, our technical team produced a magnesium ingot from dolomite obtained from the Tami Mosi Mining Claim. This accomplishment completed the proof of concept stage allowing us to develop a pilot magnesium furnace based on the bench scale furnace.

Our Business

We have developed proprietary magnesium production technology with the aim of becoming a premier low-cost producer of green primary magnesium metal. We are in the final stages of construction and commencing test production at a research and development pilot plant in Metropolitan Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We have commenced test production at this facility in the last calendar quarter of 2021 and our proprietary continuous reactor has begun operation and has produced magnesium metal under our target temperature and pressure in the second calendar quarter of 2022. The remainder of the equipment is undergoing final checks which will allow the plant to enter the demonstration phase. Our proprietary technology utilizes a continuous silicothermic process that is expected to produce high grade magnesium with low labor and energy costs while generating minimal toxic by-products.

Plan of Operations

In order to complete construction and testing at our planned research and development pilot plant, the following are the key milestones that expect to achieve over the next 12 months following the date of this prospectus:

● Commission the plant and complete final training of operations staff;

● Commence metal production under various scenarios to ensure sufficient data is collected;

● Begin the request for proposal process for commercial engineering, procurement and construction management (“EPCM”) firm;

● Select EPCM firm;

● Review all pilot data with chosen EPCM firm and validate proposed required operational scenarios; and

● Begin geotechnical assessments of proposed full-scale magnesium production facility in Harrison County, Ohio.

We estimate that the costs to complete this work will be approximately $8,000,000. We have commenced testing of the pilot reactor by the end of 2021 and our proprietary continuous reactor has begun operation and has produced magnesium metal under our target temperature and pressure in the second calendar quarter of 2022. Continuous demonstration phase operation is expected to take place throughout the third calendar quarter of 2022.

Following completion of our magnesium research and development pilot plant, we intend to construct a full-scale magnesium production facility with expected capacity to produce 100,000 metric tons per year that will be scalable for greater production levels located on 122 acre property located in Harrison County, Ohio. The proposed plant will be adjacent to the future home of a modern mixed fuels power plant which is expected to provide power to our planned magnesium production plant. The proposed Harrison County, Ohio location is close to a dolomite supply and has an infrastructure of rail and highway that is capable of transporting our magnesium finished product to industries across the United States. Our plans will require a significant amount of additional capital. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.” We have no current plans to extract minerals from any of our mining claims. See “Description of Business – Properties.”

Magnesium and Its Production

Magnesium is the lightest of all commonly used structural metal, following steel and aluminum. It is the lightest and strongest of the structural metals, it is one fourth the weight of steel, two fifths the weight of titanium and two thirds the weight of aluminum. Magnesium has multiple industrial and consumer applications. Magnesium ingots are a prime raw material input for the production of titanium and aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys. Magnesium powder and granules are used to remove sulfur in the production of steel. Due to their unique light weight and high strength properties, magnesium alloys are used in a variety of aircraft and automobile parts, as well as in electronic equipment such as computers, cameras and cellular phones.

29

Most magnesium produced globally comes from natural minerals such as dolomite and magnesite in the form of magnesium carbonate. It can also be found in seawater and in salt lakes brines or underground mineral salt deposits. Magnesium can be produced through several different methods including the electrolytic process or thermal-reduction as practiced in the most commonly used Pidgeon process.

The electrolytic process involves the electrolysis of molten magnesium chloride which produces molten magnesium and chlorine. The metal is cast into ingots for further processing as needed and the chlorine by product may be sold for use in the production of polymers such as polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC).

In the thermal-reduction method calcined magnesium containing ores (magnesite and dolomite) are broken down into fine powder and mixed with reducing agents and catalyst agent. The mixture is heated in a vacuum chamber producing magnesium vapors which later condense into crystals. The crystals are then melted, refined and poured into ingots for further processing.

The Pidgeon process, using ferrosilicon as s catalyst, is most commonly used for production of magnesium as its operation is relatively easy and has a low capital cost. The traditional process using horizontal retorts is high in energy consumption and has low productivity.

Dependence on Customers, Principal Products or Services

Since we have not commenced production of magnesium and have no revenues, we are currently not dependent on any customers. In addition, we do not anticipate producing any significant quantities of magnesium until we launch a full-scale production facility following the launch and testing of our magnesium research and development pilot facility.

Competitive Conditions and Our Position

Magnesium production is highly competitive and is dominated by several large producers in China, the United States, Israel, Brazil, Russia, Kazakhstan and Turkey. Once we commence magnesium, we will compete with existing producers that may have greater resources, access to public equity markets, more experienced management or may be more mature as a business. Production costs associated with the energy needed to fuel the magnesium refinery and raw material costs are a significant challenge facing all producers. We believe that the more energy efficient proprietary silicothermic magnesium production technology we are developing will enable us to be competitive with other magnesium producers who use the less energy efficient electrolytic process or thermal-reduction as practiced in the most commonly used Pidgeon process that consumes significantly greater resources. Further, we believe we face competition from manufacturers of other products, such as aluminum alloys, steel, titanium, plastics, composites, ceramics, and glass, among others. Product quality, price and availability are important differentiating factors. See “Risk Factors.” We expect to face significant competition, which may have an adverse effect on expected revenues.

Sources and Availability of Materials

As discussed above, we are currently in the final stages of developing a research and development pilot magnesium production facility and consequently have no current need to obtain dolomite and ferrosilicon, the primary raw materials used to produce pure magnesium. The production of magnesium products is dependent, however, on a number of key inputs and their related costs, including raw materials and supplies related to production, as well as electricity and other local utilities. Dolomite and ferrosilicon are in abundant supply in Canada, where our research and development pilot plant is being constructed, and the United States, where we intend to construct our full-scale production facility. Once we commence commercial production of magnesium, any significant interruption or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs, such as the raw material cost of dolomite and ferrosilicon, could, however, materially impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. We intend to purchase dolomite and ferrosilicon on a purchase order basis from local suppliers at market prices based on our production requirements. In addition, we believe there will be adequate availability of electricity needed to power our magnesium furnace and operate our production facility. Consequently, our management believes that we will have access to a sufficient supply of the key inputs for the foreseeable future.

Intellectual Property—Patents, Trademarks

We regularly seek to protect our intellectual property rights in connection with our production process and methods. We rely on non-disclosure/confidentiality agreements and segregate development and engineering duties among certain members of our development team to protect our intellectual property rights. To the extent we describe or disclose our proprietary production techniques, we redact or request redaction of such information prior to public disclosure. Despite these measures, we may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. Effective trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which we offer or intend to produce magnesium or offer our products for sale to the same extent as in the United States. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could impair our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing our intellectual property rights could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources and may not prove successful. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful. See “Risk Factors” with respect to intellectual property.

30

We own the website domain www.westernmagnesium.com and www.westmagcorp.com and social media accounts across certain major platforms.

We do not have any patents or trademarks nor have we filed any patent or trademark applications in the United States or Canada.

Regulation of Magnesium Production and Mining, Environmental Compliance

Our pilot magnesium production facility that we are currently developing in Metropolitan Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, will require local governmental approval before pilot operations can commence. We have applied for a business license, building permit, and all sub trade permits, which all have been issued along with a conditional business license. This license allows us to currently operate our Vancouver facility until we receive a final license which we expect to be issued in the first half of 2022 following a final inspection of the facility. A final inspection has been delayed due to a backlog in the permitting process due to COVID-19. Once operational, we will be subject to compliance with various types of government laws and regulations which often provide discretion to government authorities and could be interpreted, applied, or modified in ways to make our operations or compliance activities more costly. These laws and regulations include those relating to health and safety (WorkSafe BC, ASME, OSHA) (including those promulgated in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), competition, data privacy and security and environmental compliance.

Once we commence pilot magnesium production in Canada and mining in the U.S., we will be subject to extensive provincial environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the release or discharge of materials into the air, water and soil, waste management, pollution prevention measures, the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, the exposure of persons to hazardous materials, and greenhouse gas emissions. Since our planned pilot magnesium production facility is not currently operational, we have not incurred any material costs for compliance with environmental laws.

We believe our planned operations in Canada and the holding of mining claims in the U.S. comply with the current environmental protection requirements. We are not subject to any admonition, penalty, investigations or inquiries imposed by the environmental regulators in Canada and the U.S., nor are we subject to any claims or legal proceedings to which we are named as a defendant for violation of any environmental laws and regulations.

Employees

As of April 30, 2022, we had 31 employees. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Legal Proceedings

As of the date of this prospectus, to our knowledge, there are no legal proceedings or regulatory actions material to us to which we are a party, or have been a party to, or of which any of our property is or was the subject matter of, and no such proceedings or actions are known by us to be contemplated except as provided below:

James Sever Claim. On September 29, 2020, James Sever filed a Notice of Civil Claim against us in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Court File No. S-209728) (the “Sever Claim”). The Sever Claim alleges that Mr. Sever had an employment and/or other similar contractual relationship with us, and that we breached such contractual relationship by way of constructive dismissal or similar conduct. The Sever Claim seeks damages in excess of $2,500,000, certain equity compensation, prejudgment garnishment, costs, interest and other non-monetary relief. On July 27, 2021, we filed a response to the Sever Claim. On April 5, 2022, the Company filed an amended response to the Sever Claim, which included the following pleadings: (a) British Columbia is an inappropriate and inconvenient forum for the Sever Claim; (b) to the extent that British Columbia is the appropriate forum for the Sever Claim, nonetheless: (i) the Sever Claim is barred in whole or in part by applicable doctrines of delay / statute of limitations, (ii) the Company did not constructively dismiss Mr. Sever and, instead, it was Mr. Sever that abandoned, quit or resigned from his obligations to the Company, (iii) the Company has no debts, liabilities or obligations to Mr. Sever.

31

We intend to vigorously defend against the Sever Claim, and we believe that the Sever Claim is without merit. We cannot predict the outcome of the claim, however.

GEM Yield Bahamas Limited Arbitration. On December 31, 2020, GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (“GEM”) served us with a Notice of Intention to Arbitrate (the “New York Arbitration Notice”) before the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York (Case No. 01-21-0004-2162) (the “GEM New York Arbitration”). The New York Arbitration Notice alleges we breached a Share Subscription Agreement dated November 15, 2019 entered into between us and GEM (the “GEM Agreement”), among other things, claiming damages of CAD$4.2 million (USD equivalent $3.4 million). On January 19, 2021, we filed a petition in the New York Supreme Court (Index No. 650401/2021 (the “New York State Action”) to stay the GEM New York Arbitration claiming the GEM Agreement was not valid. The Court in the New York State Action ruled on March 19, 2021 that there is an arbitration clause in the GEM Agreement but it is up the arbitrator in the GEM New York Arbitration to determine if the arbitration clause is valid. Following this ruling, the New York State Action was closed. GEM filed a Statement of Claim in the GEM New York Arbitration on June 9, 2021 and on June 25, 2021, we filed a Statement of Answer denying the existence of any binding agreement between us and GEM, among other defenses. In January 2022, we filed a Modified Statement of Defense and Counterclaims. On April 8, 2022, the parties agreed to consolidate this arbitration with the GEM Montreal Arbitration. The parties then filed consolidated pleadings, and both matters will be decided via arbitration in Montreal. Furthermore, we intend to vigorously defend ourselves and believe the allegations against us in the GEM New York Arbitration lack merit. We cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration proceeding, however.

There have been no substantive motions or pleadings in the GEM New York Arbitration aside from the Statement of Claim and Statement of Answer discussed above.

GEM Yield Bahamas Limited and GEM Global Yield LLC SCS Arbitration. On or about February 8, 2021, GEM instituted another arbitration against us before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in Montreal Canada (Case No. 01-21-0001-1245) (the “GEM Montreal Arbitration”) and joined, GEM’s affiliate, GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (“GEM Global Yield” together with GEM, the “GEM Parties”). Similar to the allegations in the GEM New York Arbitration, the Statement of Claim filed by the GEM Parties alleges we breached a Share Subscription Agreement dated November 15, 2019 and promissory note, among other things, claiming damages of CAD$4.9 million (USD equivalent $3.8 million), in addition to costs and expenses stemming from our alleged failure to issue to GEM Global Yield warrants to purchase up to 33,000,000 shares of our common stock. We filed a Statement of Defense, denying the existence of any binding agreement between us and GEM, among other defenses. In January 2022, we filed an Amended Statement of Defense and Cross-claim. On April 8, 2022, the parties agreed to consolidate this arbitration with the GEM New York Arbitration.  The parties then filed consolidated pleadings, and both matters will be decided via arbitration in Montreal. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the GEM Montreal Arbitration and believe the allegations against us in this arbitration proceeding lack merit. We cannot predict, however, the outcome of this arbitration proceeding.

There have been no substantive motions or pleadings or rulings aside from the Statement of Claim and Statement of Answer.

Lampert Advisors, LLC Claim. On April 19, 2021, Lampert Advisors, LLC (“Lampert”) filed a Verified Complaint against our wholly owned subsidiary Western Magnesium Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Western Magnesium – Nevada”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (Index No. 652738/2021) (the “Lampert Lawsuit”). The complaint filed in the Lampert Lawsuit alleges that Lampert entered into an agreement with Western Magnesium – Nevada to provide various financial advisory services including acquisition advisory services and act as an exclusive placement agent for a debt and equity securities (the “Lampert Agreement”), that it performed all services required under that agreement and such services were received and accepted by our subsidiary, that it is owed $367,227.32 plus interest at the rate of 9% from February 3, 2021 and that it has a right of first refusal to act as financial advisor in connection with any debt, equity or debt restructuring assignments on terms, conditions and compensation customary for Lampert for a transaction of the type contemplated. Although Lampert claims to have personally served Western Magnesium – Nevada, the company never received the Summons and Complaint and therefore, never submitted a response.

On September 9, 2021, Lampert filed a Motion seeking the entry of a default judgment (the “Motion”) alleging that Western Magnesium – Nevada failed to file an answer or motion with respect to the complaint in this lawsuit within the time period provided under the civil rules of procedure. We opposed Lambert’s motion for entry of a default judgment and filed a cross-motion to compel Lampert to accept our answer. The Court granted our cross-motion seeking to compel Lampert to accept our answer and denied Lampert’s Motion seeking the entry of a default judgment as moot. On March 4, 2022, we filed a Verified Amended Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims. The counterclaims seek at least $120,000 in damages from Lampert.

We intend to vigorously defend ourselves and believe the allegations against us in the Lampert Lawsuit lack merit. In addition, we intend to prosecute our counterclaims against Lampert. We cannot predict the outcome of this lawsuit, however.

Litigation Assessment

We have evaluated the foregoing claims to assess the likelihood of any unfavorable outcome and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential loss as it relates to the litigation discussed above. Based on this assessment and estimate, which includes an understanding of our intention to vigorously defend the claims against us, we believe that the claims of any of the plaintiffs lack merit, however, and we cannot predict the likelihood of any recoveries by any of the plaintiffs against us. This assessment and estimate is based on the information available to management as of the date of this prospectus and involves a significant amount of management judgment, including the inherent difficulty associated with assessing litigation matters in their early stages. As a result, the actual outcome or loss may differ materially from those envisioned by the current assessment and estimate. Our failure to successfully defend or settle these claims could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, revenue and profitability and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Overview of the Business

We have developed proprietary magnesium production technology with the aim of becoming a premier low-cost producer of green primary magnesium metal. We are in the final stages of construction and commencing test production of magnesium at a research and development pilot plant in metropolitan Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We have commenced test production at this facility in the last calendar quarter of 2021 and our proprietary continuous reactor has begun operation and has produced magnesium metal under our target temperature and pressure in the second calendar quarter of 2022. The remainder of the equipment is undergoing final checks which will allow the plant to enter the demonstration phase. Our proprietary technology utilizes a continuous silicothermic process that is expected to produce high grade magnesium with low labor and energy costs while generating minimal waste and toxic by-products.

In addition, we own a 100% interest in 81 unpatented lode mining claims totaling approximately 1,673 acres (the “Tami Mosi Mining Claim”), four unpatented lode mining claims totaling approximately 10 acres located in the Moor Mining District in Elco County, Nevada and a 100% interest in three patented mining claims located in the Pinto mining district of Nevada totaling approximately 296 acres (the “Silverado Mining Claim”). We do not plan on commencing extraction of minerals at this time from any mining claims we hold because we have identified alternative sources of supply of dolomite and ferrosilicon, the primary raw materials used to produce pure magnesium. We may in the future, however, commence extraction of minerals from the Tami Mosi Mining Claim if we are unable to purchase raw materials from the alternative sources we have identified at commercially reasonable rates. In addition, we do not consider our mining claims to be material to our business or financial condition. See “Description of Business – Properties.”

Six Months Ended April 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended April 30, 2021

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $6,722,586 for YTD 2022, as compared to $2,571,044 for YTD 2021. The increase of $4,151,542 in operating expenditures was due primarily to increases in legal and professional fees, salaries and benefits, interest, stock-based compensation, depreciation, and investor relations expenses. The variances were primarily comprised of:

Legal and professional fees (YTD 2022 – $1,577,054; YTD 2021 – $287,586; Variance – $1,289,468)

The Company incurred legal and professional fees of $1,577,054 for YTD 2022, as compared to $287,586 for YTD 2021. The significant increase of $1,289,468 in legal and professional fees was attributable mainly to litigations discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s registration of its Common Stock with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and other securities related matters, the setup of the new headquarter and management team in McLean, Virginia close to the Washington DC metropolitan area, U.S. site selection and government incentives advance strategies, as well as for audit and valuation services rendered during YTD 2022.

Salaries and benefits (YTD 2022 – $2,196,839; YTD 2021 – $1,366,932; Variance – $829,907)

The Company incurred expenses for salaries and benefits of $2,196,839 for YTD 2022, as compared to $1,336,932 for YTD 2021, representing an increase of $829,907. This was due mainly to increased personnel headcount as the Company set up its new headquarters and management team in McLean, Virginia close to the Washington DC metropolitan area and its continued effort in the buildout of its research and development pilot plant. As at April 30, 2022, the Company had 31 employees including 10 senior management members. While at April 30, 2021, the Company had 22 employees including 5 senior management members. Certain senior management members’ salaries were also adjusted to be in line with industry standards.

Interest (YTD 2022 – $649,148; YTD 2021 – $36,334; Variance – $612,814)

The Company incurred interest of $649,148 during YTD 2022, as compared to $36,334 during YTD 2021. On November 1, 2021, the Company’s functional currency change resulted in the reclassification of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture from a hybrid financial instrument to a convertible debt instrument with a beneficial conversion feature. The Company allocated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture capped at the face value of $1,500,000 to additional paid-in capital and recognized a debt discount of the same amount to be amortized as interest expense over the period from issuance date to maturity date using the effective interest method. During Q2 2022, the Company also allocated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the April 2022 Convertible Debenture of $240,000 to additional paid-in capital and recognized a debt discount of the same amount to be amortized as interest expense until its maturity. The increase of $612,814 in interest in YTD 2022 was attributable primarily to the interest expense of $600,769 from amortizing the debt discount on partial conversion of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture during the period.

35

Stock-based compensation (YTD 2022 – $433,829; YTD 2021 – $nil; Variance –$433,829)

In YTD 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $433,529 upon the grant of 1,250,000 stock options to an officer and certain employees. While in YTD 2021, the Company recorded $nil in stock-based compensation, resulting in a non-cash variance of $433,829 between the two reporting periods. The adoption of our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan which was approved by our shareholders during Fiscal 2021 is intended to promote our long-term financial interests and growth by attracting and retaining management and other personnel and key service providers with the training, experience and ability to enable them to make a substantial contribution to the success of our business. Moreover, our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan aims to align the interests of eligible participants with those of our shareholders through opportunities for increased equity-based ownership in our company.

Depreciation (YTD 2022 – $242,327; YTD 2021 – $96,993; Variance – $145,334)

In YTD 2022, the Company recorded $242,327 in depreciation expense, of which $118,366 were in relation to its right-of-use assets and $123,961 were in relation to property, plant and equipment purchased. While in YTD 2021, the Company recorded $96,993 in depreciation expense, of which $88,348 were right-of-use assets related and $5,645 were property, plant and equipment related. The increase of $145,334 in depreciation expense was due to the new right-of-use assets recognized in association with its new corporate head leased in September 2021 as well as increased capital expenditures as the Company continued to invest in the buildout of its research and development pilot plant facility.

Investor relations (YTD 2022 – $215,834; YTD 2021 – $70,936; Variance – $144,898)

Investor relations expenses were $215,834 in YTD 2022, as compared to $70,936 in YTD 2021. The increase of $144,898 in investor relations was a result of the Company’s increased financing activities, the development of a shareholders’ program to increase the Company’s name recognition and to grow shareholders’ value, as well as the preparation and promotion for up listing on other major exchanges.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense was $7,042,700 for YTD 2022, as compared to other income of $16,656 for YTD 2021. The variance of $7,059,356 in other income (expense) was non-cash and was due mainly to the reclassification of warrants and broker warrants as derivative liability and the subsequent fair value re-measurement, and the accounting treatment of its convertible debentures resulted from the Company’s functional currency change. The variances were comprised of:

Change in fair value of derivative liability [YTD 2022 – ($6,701,147); YTD 2021 –$16,656; Variance – ($6,717,803)]

On November 1, 2021, the Company’s functional currency change resulted in the reclassification of its outstanding warrants and broker warrants denominated in Canadian dollars as derivative liabilities measured at fair value through other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss at the end of each reporting period. For YTD 2022, the Company recognized a non-cash loss of $7,060,790 on reclassification and re-measurement of its derivative liability of warrants and broker warrants.

The Company’s functional currency change also resulted in the reclassification of the July 2021 Convertible Debenture from a convertible debt instrument with a beneficial conversion feature to a hybrid financial instrument comprised of a debt host liability and an embedded derivative liability. The debt host liability of the convertible note will be amortized at cost, with the embedded derivative liability measured at fair value through other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss at the end of each reporting period. For YTD 2022, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $359,643 on re-measurement and conversion of its July 2021 Convertible Debenture. For YTD 2021, the Company recognized a non-cash loss $45,724 on re-measurement of its July 2020 Convertible Debenture.

The above resulted in a variance of $6,717,803 between the two reporting periods.

Loss on recognition of debt host liability [YTD 2022 – ($341,553); YTD 2021 – $Nil; Variance – ($341,553)]

On November 1, 2021, the Company’s functional currency change resulted in the reclassification of the July 2021 Convertible Debenture from a convertible debt instrument with a beneficial conversion feature to a hybrid financial instrument. The embedded derivative liability was valued at $421,095 (CA$529,400) which exceeded the face value of the note itself of $79,542 (CA$100,000), the debt host liability was then assigned a face value of $1, with an immediate loss of $341,553 (CA$429,400) on recognition of the debt host liability.

The Company incurred salaries and benefits of $3,168,008 during Fiscal 2021, as compared to $1,797,783 during Fiscal 2020, representing an increase of $1,370,225. This was due mainly to increased personnel headcount as the Company continued to ramp up its operations as it moves towards the buildout of its research and development pilot plant facility as well as setting up a new corporate office in McLean in Virginia. As at October 31, 2021, the Company had 19 full-time employees including 6 executives. While at October 31, 2020, the Company had 10 full-time employees including 7 executives.

The Company incurred legal and professional fees of $889,175 during Fiscal 2021, as compared to $138,916 during Fiscal 2020. The increase of $750,259 in legal and professional fees was attributable to litigations discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report, transaction costs related to the June 2021 Convertible Debenture, and the Company’s registration of its Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission, site plant selection purposes and other general and corporate objectives during Fiscal 2021.

Consultant and management fees (2021 – $914,617; 2020 – $598,574; Variance – $316,043)

Consulting and management fees were $914,617 in Fiscal 2021, as compared to $598,574 in Fiscal 2020. The increase of $316,043 was a result of the Company ramping up its operations towards the buildout of its research and development pilot plant facility, commencement of business development activities in its new corporate office in McLean in Virginia, as well as for advancing the Company as a reporting issuer in the US and preparing for listing on other exchanges.

Travel expenses (2021 – $409,528; 2020 – $104,880; Variance – $304,648)

Travel expenses were $409,528 for Fiscal 2021 and $104,880 for Fiscal 2020, representing an increase of $304,648.

37

Engineering expenses [2020 – $105,706; 2019 – $569,145; Variance – ($463,439)]

Engineering expenses were $105,706 for Fiscal 2021 and $569,145 for Fiscal 2020. The decrease of $463,439 was as a result of the Company having completed the initial design and modeling of the magnesium pilot plant and advancing into the final stage of the buildout of the pilot plant facility during Fiscal 2021.

Other Items

Total other loss was $5,844,401 for Fiscal 2021, and total other gain was $42,135 for Fiscal 2020. The variance of $5,886,536 in other items was due primarily from the accounting treatment of its convertible debentures, partly offset by a gain on the sale of its exploration and evaluation assets previously written off of $37,156. The variance was primarily comprised of:

Change in fair value of derivative liability [2021 – ($5,701,270); 2020 – $4,979; Variance – ($5,706,249)]

The Company’s July 2020 Convertible Debenture and June 2021 Convertible Debenture were determined to be hybrid financial instruments comprised of a debt host liability and an embedded derivative liability. The debt host liability of the convertible note will be amortized at cost, with the embedded derivative liability measured at fair value through profit and loss at the end of each reporting period. For Fiscal 2021, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $16,058 and a non-cash loss of $5,717,328 on re-measurement of its July 2020 Convertible Debenture and June 2021 Convertible Debenture, respectively. This resulted in an aggregate non-cash loss of $5,701,270 for Fiscal 2021, compared to a non-cash gain of $4,979 on re-measurement of its July 2020 Convertible Debenture in Fiscal 2020.

Loss on recognition of debt host liability [2021 – ($140,943); 2020 – $Nil; Variance – ($140,943)]

On issuance date of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture, its embedded derivative liability was valued at $1,646,600 which exceeded the face value of the note itself of $1,500,000, the debt host liability was then assigned a face value of $1, with an immediate loss of $146,601 on recognition of the debt host liability in Fiscal 2021, in addition to foreign exchange effect of $5,658.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 was $23,549,612 and $4,672,605, respectively.

As of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, we had total current liabilities of $8,691,474 and $10,891,270, respectively, and current assets of $1,518,901 and $1,233,954, respectively, to meet our current obligations. As of April 30, 2022, we had working capital deficiency of $7,172,573, an increase of working capital of $2,484,743 as compared to October 31, 2021, driven primarily by non-cash items including the reclassification of warrants and broker warrants as derivative liabilities resulted from the Company’s functional currency change and the periodic re-measurement at fair value with changes in fair value through other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, partly offset by a decrease in derivative liabilities due to reclassifications of convertible debentures also resulted from the Company’s functional currency change.

On November 1, 2021, the Company’s functional currency change resulted in the reclassification of its outstanding warrants and broker warrants denominated in the Canadian dollars as derivative liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss at the end of each reporting period. As at April 30, 2022, the derivative liability of warrants and broker warrants were valued at $2,465,603 (October 31, 2021 – $nil) and $2,658 (October 31, 2021 – $nil), respectively.

On November 1, 2021, the Company’s functional currency change resulted in the reclassification of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture from a hybrid financial instrument accounted for in accordance with ASU 815-15 to a convertible debt instrument with a beneficial conversion feature accounted for in accordance with ASU 470-20. The value of the embedded derivative liability of $7,449,700 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. The Company’s functional currency change also resulted in the reclassification of the July 2021 Convertible Debenture from a convertible debt instrument with a beneficial conversion feature accounted for in accordance with ASU 470-20 to a hybrid financial instrument accounted for in accordance with ASU 815-15. Fair value adjustments were made to the embedded derivative liability of the July 2021 Convertible Debenture on conversion date of April 22, 2022, resulting in a value of $nil.

We have a history of operating losses. We have not yet achieved profitable operations and expect to incur further losses. We have funded our operations primarily from equity and debt financing. As of April 30, 2022, cash generated from financing activities was not sufficient to fund operations and, in particular, to fund our growth strategy in the short-term or long-term. As a result, we raised additional funds from equity and debt financing transactions in 2022, 2021 and 2020 as discussed below under “Recent Financing Transactions.” The primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of the business, including operational and business development expenses, develop and construct our planned research and development pilot magnesium production facility and the capital expenditures associated with that project. The primary source of liquidity has primarily been private financing transactions. The ability to fund operations, to make planned capital expenditures, to execute on the development and operation of our planned research and development pilot facility, to develop a full-scale commercial magnesium production facility and to make scheduled debt and rent payments and to repay or refinance indebtedness depends on our ability to raise funds from debt and/or equity financing which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or at all, or obtained on commercially reasonable terms acceptable to us.

As of April 30, 2022, there have not been any meaningful impact or disruptions to our operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to assess the impact of COVID-19 on an ongoing basis.

In addition, the conversion price for accrued interest is the greater of (i) $0.10 and (ii) the minimum conversion price permitted by the TSXV at the time of conversion (should our common stock then be listed on such exchange).

Under the terms of the June 10, 2021 Securities Purchase Agreement we entered into as part of the offering of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission by August 14, 2021, covering the public resale of the shares of common stock underlying such debenture and, upon its conversion, the Class A and Class B Warrants issuable upon such conversion (the “Underlying Shares”), and to use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective on October 13, 2021. In addition, we agreed to provide the holder to the June 2021 Convertible Debenture certain piggy-back registration rights if we do not have an effective registration statement covering the Underlying Shares and we propose to file any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to our common stock. We will pay all costs associated with the registration statements, other than underwriting commissions and discounts. On December 13, 2021, our Form 10 Registration Statement filed with the SEC was declared effective.

In addition to certain covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the terms of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture contain certain negative covenants by us, including:

● other than certain permitted indebtedness, enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including, but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of our property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

40

● other than certain permitted liens, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any liens of any kind, on or with respect to any of our property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

● amend our charter documents, including, without limitation, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially adversely affects any rights of the Convertible Debenture Holder (notwithstanding the foregoing, we are entitled to proceed with the amendments to the charter documents as set out in our proxy materials for our shareholder meeting to be held in 2021);

● repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents other than as to the Underlying Shares;

● redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or make any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or cash equivalents (in whole or in part, whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise), all or any portion of any of our indebtedness (other than the Convertible Debentures if on a pro-rata basis), whether by way of payment in respect of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, such indebtedness, in any case unless such indebtedness or interest is due and payable in accordance with the initial terms of such debt prior to any default thereunder;

● declare or make any dividend or other distribution of our assets or rights to acquire our assets to holders of shares of our common stock, preferred stock, or any other equity security by way of return of capital or otherwise including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction;

● sell or offer to sell any securities with non-fixed or floating price features, issue any common stock or common stock equivalents at a price lower than the conversion price herein then in effect, or issue any equity or debt instruments with anti-dilution provisions; or

● enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

In the event we issue or sell any common stock or common stock equivalents with terms that the purchaser then holding outstanding June 2021 Convertible Debenture (the “Convertible Debenture Holder”) or the Class A and B Warrants reasonably believes are more favorable to such holder than are the terms of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture or the Class A and B Warrants (the “MFN Securities”), then upon notice to us by such holder within five trading days after notice to such holder by us, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the TSXV and any additional required regulatory approval to amend the terms of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture or the Class A and B Warrants as required, as the case may be, so as to give such holder the benefit of such more favorable terms or conditions. If we fail to obtain such regulatory approvals and the approval of the TSXV, then absent such approval we are forbidden to issue the MFN Securities.

The conversion price of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events.

In addition, if, at any time while the June 2021 Convertible Debenture is outstanding, we, directly or indirectly, effect any merger or consolidation of our company with or into another person or engage in a “Fundamental Transaction” as defined in the June 2021 Convertible Debenture, the Convertible Debenture Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of our common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or us, if we are the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of our common stock for which the June 2021 Convertible Debenture is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. In addition, the Conversion Price will be subject to certain adjustments so that the economic value of such shares and such conversion price are protected and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Convertible Debenture Holder. Alternatively, the Convertible Debenture Holder may demand that we redeem the June 2021 Convertible Debenture at a rate equal to 125% of the principal and interest due thereon, to be paid in full contemporaneously with consummation of the Fundamental Transaction.

We granted the investor certain rights of first refusal on our future offerings for so long as the June 2021 Convertible Debenture or the Class A and B Warrants are outstanding.

We may prepay and satisfy the June 2021 Convertible Debenture so long as an event of default has not occurred, upon 20 days’ prior written notice received by us to the holder, by paying 125% of the amounts owed on the June 2021 Convertible Debenture, including all principal, interest and other fees. The holder of this debenture may, however, convert all or a portion of the debenture during the 20 day notice period.

41

The June 2021 Convertible Debenture is not exercisable if the number of shares to be issued to the holder upon such exercise, together with all other shares then owned by the holder and our affiliates, would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. The holder may increase or decrease this ownership limitation to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice to us.

Class A and Class B Warrants

Upon conversion of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture, we will issue the Class A and B Warrants. The holders may exercise the Class A and B Warrants on a cashless basis at any time that there is not an effective registration statement covering the underlying shares of common stock and the volume weighted average price of our common stock is greater than the exercise price at the time of exercise. The Class A and Class B Warrants are not exercisable, however, if the number of shares to be issued to the holder upon such exercise, together with all other shares then owned by the holder and our affiliates, would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. The holder may increase or decrease this ownership limitation to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice to us.

The exercise price of the Class A and Class B Warrants is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate events. In addition, the exercise price are each subject to adjustment if we issue or sell shares of our common stock for a consideration per share less than the exercise price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of our common stock at an exercise price less than the exercise price then in effect. If any of these events should occur, the exercise price each will be reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable.

In addition, if, at any time while the Class A and Class B Warrants are outstanding, we engage in a Fundamental Transaction, the exercise price thereof is subject to adjustment similar to the adjustment as provided for in the June 2021 Convertible Debenture. In addition, we may not enter into a Fundamental Transaction unless the holders of our common stock receive securities of an entity that is listed on a stock exchange in Canada or the United States, or cash, equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Class A and Class B Warrants on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.

The note is convertible into common shares of the Company at the price of CAD$0.12 per share and will have warrants exercisable for a price of CAD$0.20 for a period of two years.

● declare or make any dividend or other distribution of our assets or rights to acquire our assets to holders of shares of our Common Stock, preferred stock, or any other equity security by way of return of capital or otherwise including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction;

● sell or offer to sell any securities with non-fixed or floating price features, issue any Common Stock or common stock equivalents at a price lower than the conversion price herein then in effect, or issue any equity or debt instruments with anti-dilution provisions;

● delist from any exchange or market the Common Stock is traded upon at the time the April 2022 Convertible Debenture was issued (except or unless the Common Stock subsequently becomes traded on NASDAQ, in which case the common stock may be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange); or

● enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

From the date hereof until such time as the April 2022 Convertible Debenture or 2022 Warrants are no longer outstanding, we will not, without either (i) the consent of the Purchasers, or (ii) (A) having prepaid the April 2022 Convertible Debenture pursuant to the terms thereof, or (B) having first lowered the Conversion Price of the April 2022 Convertible Debenture to such lower price with having obtained the necessary regulatory approval, issue any common stock or common stock equivalents with a conversion or exercise price lower than the Conversion Price and exercise price then in effect.

In the event we issue or sell any common stock or common stock equivalents with terms that the purchaser then holding outstanding April 2022 Convertible Debenture (the “April 2022 Convertible Debenture Holder”) or the 2022 Warrants reasonably believes are more favorable to such holder than are the terms of the April 2022 Convertible Debenture or the 2022 Warrants (the “MFN Securities”), then upon notice to us by such holder within five trading days after notice to such holder by us, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and any additional required regulatory approval to amend the terms of the April 2022 Convertible Debenture or the 2022 Warrants as required, as the case may be, so as to give such holder the benefit of such more favorable terms or conditions. If we fail to obtain such regulatory approvals and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, then absent such approval by us, is forbidden to issue the MFN Securities.

The conversion price of the April 2022 Convertible Debenture is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, if, at any time while the April 2022 Convertible Debenture is outstanding, the Company, directly or indirectly, effect any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person or engage in a “Fundamental Transaction” as defined in the April 2022 Convertible Debenture, the April 2022 Convertible Debenture Holder shall have the right to receive, for each conversion share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of our common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or us, if the Company is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of our common stock for which the April 2022 Convertible Debenture is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. In addition, the Conversion Price will be subject to certain adjustments so that the economic value of such shares and such conversion price are protected and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the April 2022 Convertible Debenture Holder. Alternatively, the April 2022 Convertible Debenture Holder may demand that we redeem the April 2022 Convertible Debenture at a rate equal to 125% of the principal and interest due thereon, to be paid in full contemporaneously with consummation of the Fundamental Transaction.

The Company granted the investors certain rights of first refusal on our future offerings for so long as the April 2022 Convertible Debenture or the 2022 Warrants are outstanding.

The April 2022 Convertible Debenture is not exercisable if the number of shares to be issued to the holder upon such exercise, together with all other shares then owned by the holder and our affiliates, would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. The holder may increase or decrease this ownership limitation to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice to us.

44

2022 Warrants

Upon each conversion of the April 2022 Convertible Debenture, the Company will issue to the holder of the April 2022 Convertible Debenture, a Warrant to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 100% of the conversion shares being issued on such conversion at a per share exercise price of $0.40, subject to adjustment as provided for in the 2022 Warrants and discussed below.

The holders may exercise the 2022 Warrants on a cashless basis at any time that there is not an effective registration statement covering the underlying shares of common stock and the volume weighted average price of our common stock is greater than the exercise price at the time of exercise. The 2022 Warrants are not exercisable, however, if the number of shares to be issued to the holder upon such exercise, together with all other shares then owned by the holder and our affiliates, would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. The holder may increase or decrease this ownership limitation to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice to us.

The exercise price of the 2022 Warrants is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate events.

Registration Rights Agreement

Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement the Company entered into in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by May 14, 2022, covering the public resale of the shares of common stock underlying the April 2022 Convertible Debenture, the convertible debentures issued to the investor pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 10, 2021 (the “June 2021 Convertible Debenture”), upon their conversion, the 2022 Warrants issuable upon conversion of the April 2022 Convertible Debenture and the warrants issued upon conversion of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture (the “Underlying Shares”), all to the extent permissible under SEC rules, and to use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective on June 28, 2022 if the SEC does not review the registration statement or by August 12, 2022 if the SEC reviews the registration statement.

In the event the Company fails to file the registration statement or such registration statement is not declared effective within the time periods noted above or such registration statement is not kept effective, the Company will be obligated to pay the holder of the debentures a penalty in cash, in the amount of $20,000 on the date of such failure and on the 30^th day of each month following such failure. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay all expenses of the registration, other than underwriting commissions and discounts, and to indemnify the holder of the securities to be registered against any claim that may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) in connection with the filing of the registration statement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following GAAP standards have been recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). We are assessing the impact of these new standards on our consolidated financial statements. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period allowed for emerging growth companies for complying with new or revised accounting guidance as allowed by Section 107 of the JOBS Act and Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act. Pronouncements that are not applicable or where it has been determined do not have a significant impact on us have been excluded herein.

(i) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) by creating ASC 842 to replace ASC 840. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for substantially all leases. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”) to provide entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements (“ASU 2019-01”), which clarifies certain items regarding lessor accounting. It also clarifies the interim disclosure requirements during transition. These updates are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.   Effective November 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 retrospectively using the modified retrospective approach with no restatement of prior year amounts. Reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognized in the opening balance sheet on November 1, 2019. In the context of initial application, we used the following assumptions to evaluate the lease population:

● exercised the option not to apply the new recognition requirements to short-term leases and to leases of low-value assets; and

● made the election to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

ASC 842 applies to leases for the year ended October 31, 2020. Upon adoption, we recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of ASC 840. These assets and liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of November 1, 2019. The weighted-average incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities initially recognized as of November 1, 2019 was 7%.

There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application. In applying ASC 842 for the first time, we applied the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

● use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;

● reliance on previous assessments of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application;

● application of the short-term leases exemption to leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at the date of initial application; and

● exclusion of initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

We elected not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date, the previous determinations pursuant to ASC 840 of whether a contract is a lease have been maintained. Additionally, we elected to not apply hindsight in determining a lease term of the ROU assets at the adoption date.

Based on the foregoing, the impact of the change in accounting policy on November 1, 2019 is summarized below:

● we recognized right-of-use assets of $83,549, and a lease liability of $83,549.

(ii) In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of current expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 will require financial institutions and other organizations to use forward-looking information to better formulate their credit loss estimates. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available for sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief (“ASU 2019-05”), which provides transition relief to entities adopting ASU 2016-13. As smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, these updates are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption of these updates on its consolidated financial statements.

48

(iii)	In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07), which aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with that for employees, with certain exceptions. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payments granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in the entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance in Subtopic 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 retains the existing cost attribution guidance, which requires entities to recognize compensation cost for nonemployee awards in the same period and in the same manner (i.e. capitalize or expense) they would if they paid cash for the goods or services, but it moves the guidance to Topic 718. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Effective November 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard. There were no material impact or adjustment to its consolidated financial statements.
(iv)	In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, and removes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Effective November 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new standard. There were no material impact or adjustment to its consolidated financial statements.
(v)	In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Effective November 1, 2021, the Company adopted the new standard. There was no material impact or adjustment to its consolidated financial statements.
(vi)	In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments and supersedes the respective guidance within ASC 470-20 and ASC 740-10-55-51, which will result in more instruments to be accounted for as a single instrument rather than having their proceeds allocated between liability and equity accounting units. As smaller reporting companies as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting these updates on its consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

49

Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are described below.

Functional Currency

The functional currency of each entity of the Company is as follows:

Entity	Functional Currency
Western Magnesium Corporation	United States dollars
Western Magnesium Corp.	United States dollars
Western Magnesium Canada Corporation	Canadian dollars (“CA$”)

Significant changes in economic facts and circumstances have occurred in our operations which resulted in the change of its functional currency to the United States dollars from the Canadian dollars effective November 1, 2021. For both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities, translated balances at the end of the prior period become the new accounting basis. The rate on the date of change becomes the historical rate at which non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated in subsequent years. There is no effect on the cumulative translation adjustment on the consolidated basis. Previously recorded cumulative translation adjustments are not reversed. Effects of change in functional currency included the reclassifications of convertible debentures and warrants and broker warrants.

Estimated Useful Lives of Property Plant and Equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that consider factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

Estimated Useful Lives of and Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets is recorded over their estimated useful lives which do not exceed any contractual periods, if any. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

Consolidation

Judgment is applied in assessing whether we exercise control and have significant influence over entities in which we directly or indirectly own an interest. We have control when we have the power over the subsidiary, have exposure or rights to variable returns, and have the ability to use our power to affect the returns. Significant influence is defined as the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the subsidiaries. Where we are determined to have control, these entities are consolidated. Additionally, judgment is applied in determining the effective date on which control was obtained.

Stock-Based Payments

Valuation of stock-based compensation and warrants requires management to make estimates regarding the inputs for option pricing models, such as the expected life of the option, the volatility of our stock price, the vesting period of the option and the risk-free interest rate are used. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates are considered for each new grant of stock options or warrants.

Leases

We use the following policies to evaluate our leases:

Determining a lease: At contract inception, we review the facts and circumstances of the arrangement to determine if the contract is or contains a lease. We follow the guidance in ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, and ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements to evaluate if:

● the contract has an identified asset;

● we have the right to obtain substantially all economic benefits from the asset; and

● we have the right to direct the use of the underlying asset.

50

When determining if a contract has an identified asset, we consider both explicit and implicit assets, and whether the vendor has the right to substitute the asset. When determining if we have the right to direct the use of an underlying asset, we consider if we have the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use and if we control the decision-making rights over the asset.

Discount rate: At commencement, lease-related assets and liabilities are measured at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term using an incremental borrowing rate. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we exercise judgment in determining the incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the time the lease commences.

Rent increases or escalation clauses: Certain leases contain scheduled rent increases or escalation clauses. We assess each contract individually and apply appropriate payments based on the terms of the agreement.

Renewal, purchase and termination options: Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. We exercise judgment in determining the term of these leases when extension or termination options are present and include such options in the calculation of the lease terms when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise these options.

Recognizing leases: We do not recognize leases with a contractual term of less than 12 months or low value leases on our financial statements. Lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants: Our lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants.

Other Estimates and Assumptions

Other estimates and assumptions where there is potential risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financial instruments, the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Significant Judgments

The most significant judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies in the Company’s financial statements include:

- the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to substantial doubt;

- whether there are indicators of impairment of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets and other non-current assets;

- the classification of financial instruments; and

- determination of functional currency.

Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management

Our financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, deposits held by related parties, accounts payable, due to related parties, promissory note, convertible debenture, and derivative liability.

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. The fair value of current financial instruments approximates their carrying values as long as they are short-term in nature or bear interest at market rates.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs used in determining the fair value and depending on the extent to which they are observable. The three levels of hierarchy are:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. from derived prices); and

Level 3 — Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There were no transfers between the levels during the reporting periods.

Financial Risk Management

Our board of directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of our risk management framework. Our risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in response to our activities. Management regularly monitors compliance with our risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.

In the normal course of operations, the Company is exposed to various risks such as interest rate, foreign exchange, commodity, credit, and liquidity. To manage these risks, management determines what activities must be undertaken to minimize potential exposure to risks. The objectives of the Company in managing risks are as follows:

● Maintaining sound financial condition;

● Financing operations; and

● Ensuring liquidity to all operations.

In order to satisfy these objectives, the Company has adopted the following policies:

● Prepare budget documents at prevailing market rates to ensure clear corporate alignment to performance management and achievement of targets;

● Recognize and observe the extent of operating risk within the business; and

● Identify the magnitude of the impact of market risk factors on the overall risk of the business and take advantage of natural risk reductions that arise from these relationships.

There have been no changes in risks that have arisen or how the Company manages those risks during the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 and the years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020.

[i] Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash on deposits with banks and, from time to time, on its holdings of short-term investments. As of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company had cash on deposits with banks of $774,409 and $462,360, respectively. The Company had no short-term investment as at April 30, 2022 or October 31 2021. Given the level of cash held by the Company, fluctuations in the market interest rates had no significant impact on its interest income during the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021.

[ii] Foreign currency risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, and convertible debentures that are denominated in Canadian dollars. We have not entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Based on the Company net exposures as at April 30, 2022, assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 5% appreciation or deterioration of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in an increase or decrease of $78,312 in the Company’s net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

[iii] Commodity price risk

The value of our magnesium production business and its exploration and evaluation assets are dependent on the price of magnesium and the outlook for this mineral. Market prices for these metals historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside our control, including but not limited to, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand, industrial and retail demand, as well as certain other factors related specifically to magnesium. If magnesium prices decline for a prolonged period below the cost of production, it may not be economically feasible to continue towards production.

52

[iv] Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations and arises principally from trade receivables. Our credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and deposits held by related parties. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on cash as these financial instruments are held with major banks in Canada and the United States. Amounts receivable consist primarily of goods and services tax due from the Federal Government of Canada and other subsidy receivable. Management believes the credit risk concentration with respect to amounts receivable is remote. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances, represents our maximum exposure to credit risk.

[v] Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on its purchasing commitments and obligations and its ability to raise funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring its actual and forecasted working capital requirements to ensure there is capital to meet short-term and long-term obligations.

As of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, we had working capital deficiency of $7,172,573 and $9,657,316, respectively. As disclosed in note 1 of the Company’s financial statements, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors. The Company’s management has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has determined that substantial doubt existed for at least one year from the date of these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company has financed its activities and operations through equity issuances and debt financing and expects to continue to do so to the extent such financing is available. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available under terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Liquidity risk has been assessed as high.

The independence rules of Nasdaq include a series of objective tests, including that an “independent” person will not be employed by us and will not be engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors is required to make a subjective determination as to each person that no material relationship exists with us either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us. It has been determined that two of our directors are independent persons under the independence rules of Nasdaq: Jeff Wilson and Stephen Thorlakson.

Nomination of Directors

The Board is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become new Board members and recommending to the Board new director nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the required time, show support for the Company’s mission and strategic objectives, and a willingness to serve.

The Bylaws of the Company contain advance notice provisions, which include, among other things, a provision that requires advance notice be given to the Company in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders.

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our board is generally responsible for the oversight of corporate risk in its review and deliberations relating to our activities. Our principal source of risk falls into two categories, financial and product commercialization. The audit committee oversees management of financial risks; our board regularly reviews information regarding our cash position, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The board regularly reviews plans, results and potential risks related to our business. The board is also expected to oversee risk management as it relates to our compensation plans, policies and practices for all employees including executives and directors, particularly whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We previously filed a copy of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct as an exhibit to our Form 10-K for the period ended October 31, 2021. You will be able to review this document by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct in a Current Report on Form 8-K. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending, or completed legal action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of his duty. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.

Our bylaws, as amended, provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, except that no indemnification will be provided to a director, officer, employee, or agent if the indemnification sought is in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person without the authorization of our board of directors. The bylaws, as amended, also provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification will be a contract right and will not be exclusive of any other right now possessed or hereafter acquired under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The bylaws, as amended, also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee, or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether the bylaws, as amended, would permit indemnification of any such liability.

In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation provides that directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages or actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty of care, including any actions involving gross negligence.

We also maintain director and officer liability insurance to insure our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under specified circumstances.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

Overview of Executive Compensation

Our board of directors is authorized to review and approve annually all compensation decisions relating to our executive officers. In accordance with reduced disclosure rules applicable to emerging growth companies as set forth in Item 402 of Regulation S-K, this section explains how our compensation program is structured for its Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers named in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table (the “named executive officers” or “NEOs”).

Compensation Governance

We have created a Compensation Committee, the members of which are Stephen Thorlakson, Jeff Wilson and Rabih Ataya.

All tasks related to developing and monitoring our approach to the compensation of our NEOs and directors are performed initially by the Compensation Committee and reviewed and approved by the members of the Board. The compensation of the NEOs, directors and our employees or consultants is recommended and approved by the Board without reference to any specific formula or criteria. NEOs that are also directors of our company are involved in discussions relating to compensation, and disclose their interest in and abstain from voting on compensation decisions relating to them, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable corporate legislation. Our compensation program is intended to attract, motivate, reward and retain the management talent needed to achieve our business objectives of improving overall corporate performance and creating long term value for our shareholders. The compensation program is intended to reward executive officers on the basis of individual performance and achievement of corporate objectives, including the advancement of our exploration and development goals.

Our current compensation program is comprised of three major components: base salary or fees, short-term incentives such as discretionary bonuses and long-term incentives such as stock options.

In making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee and the Board strive to find a balance between short-term and long-term compensation and cash versus equity incentive compensation. Base salaries or fees and discretionary cash bonuses primarily reward recent performance and incentive stock options encourage NEOs and directors to continue to deliver results over a longer period of time and serve as a retention tool. The annual salary or fee for each NEO, as applicable, is recommended by the Compensation Committee and determined by the Board based on the level of responsibility and experience of the individual, the relative importance of the position to us, the professional qualifications of the individual and the performance of the individual over time. The NEOs’ performances and salaries or fees are to be reviewed periodically. Increases in salary or fees are to be evaluated on an individual basis and are performance and market-based. The amount and award of cash bonuses to key executives and senior management is discretionary, depending on, among other factors, the financial targeted goal, employee retention and advancement within our company. The Executive Chairman and CEO make the recommendation which is then sent to the Board for their approval. A peer group is not used to determine compensation.

Pension Plan Benefits

The Company does not have any pension, defined benefit, defined contribution or deferred compensation plans in place.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

The long-term component of compensation for executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, will be based on equity awards issued pursuant to the Western Magnesium Corporation 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Equity Incentive Plan”) that was approved by our shareholders on June 11, 2021. The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of the following (collectively, the “Awards”): (i) nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”) and incentive stock options (“ISOs”) (collectively, “Options”); (ii) stock appreciate rights (“SARs”); (iii) restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (iv) performance awards; (v) dividend equivalents; and (vi) other stock-based awards. This component of compensation is intended to reinforce management’s commitment to long term improvements in our performance.

The purpose of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is to enable us and certain of our subsidiaries to obtain and retain services of the eligible participants, which is essential to our long-term success. The granting of Options and other Awards under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is intended to promote our long-term financial interests and growth and the long-term financial interests and growth of our subsidiaries by attracting and retaining management and other personnel and key service providers with the training, experience and ability to enable them to make a substantial contribution to the success of our business. Moreover, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan aims to align the interests of eligible participants with those of our shareholders through opportunities for increased equity-based ownership in our company.

Notes:

(1) The percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our capital stock outstanding on May 16, 2022. On May 16, 2022, there were 437,926,611 shares of our common stock outstanding. To calculate a stockholder’s percentage of beneficial ownership, we include in the denominator the common stock outstanding and all shares of our common stock issuable to that person in the event of the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and other derivative securities owned by that person which are exercisable within 60 days of May 16, 2022. Common stock warrants and derivative securities held by other stockholders are disregarded in this calculation. Therefore, the denominator used in calculating beneficial ownership among our stockholders may differ. Unless we have indicated otherwise, each person named in the table has sole voting power and sole investment power for the shares listed opposite such person’s name.

Director Independence

For a description of director independence of our board members, see “Management – Director Independence” on page 59 of this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following is a description of our capital stock and the material provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws (as amended) and other agreements to which we and our shareholders are parties, in each case as of the date of this prospectus.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, there were 447,815,776 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held of record by 683 stockholders.   At our June 11, 2021 annual and special meeting of shareholders, our shareholders approved a special resolution authorizing us to amend and restate our Certificate of Incorporation, to include (a) an amendment for the purpose of authorizing up to 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, and (b) certain other corporate maintenance matters (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”). We filed the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation on May 13, 2022. Any designation of preferences and rights of the preferred stock requires the TSXV’s approval. Following TSXV approval, our board of directors may from time to time authorize by resolution the issuance of any or all shares of our common stock or preferred stock authorized in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation for such purposes, in such amounts, to such persons, corporations, or entities, for such consideration and in the case of the preferred stock, in one or more series, all as our board of directors in its discretion may determine and without any vote or other action by the stockholders, except as otherwise required by law.

A description of the material terms and provisions of our certificate of incorporation affecting the rights of holders of our capital stock is set forth below. The description is intended as a summary only.

Common Stock

Voting. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter properly submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Stockholders are not entitled to vote cumulatively for the election of directors. Except for the election of directors, which are elected by a plurality vote, a majority vote of common stockholders is generally required to take action under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended.

72

Conversion, Redemption and Preemptive Rights. Holders of our common stock have no conversion, redemption, preemptive, subscription or similar rights.

Dividend Rights. Subject to the rights of holders of preferred stock, holders of our common stock shall be entitled to receive such cash dividends as may be declared thereon by our board of directors from time to time out of assets of funds of our company legally available for the payment of dividends.

Preferred Stock

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Subject to TSXV approval, our board of directors will have the authority to issue this preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares and the relative rights, conversion rights, voting rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions) and liquidation preferences, without further vote or action by the stockholders. If shares of preferred stock with voting rights are issued, such issuance could affect the voting rights of the holders of our common stock by increasing the number of outstanding shares having voting rights, and by the creation of class or series voting rights. If our board of directors authorized the issuance of shares of preferred stock with conversion rights, the number of shares of common stock outstanding could potentially be increased by up to the authorized amount. Issuance of preferred stock could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company and may adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock. Also, preferred stock could have preferences over our common stock (and other series of preferred stock) with respect to dividend and liquidation rights.

Provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that May Have an Anti-Takeover Effect

Other than our authorized but unissued common stock and “blank-check” preferred stock following the filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation available for future issuance without stockholder approval, as described under “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock” above, our certificate of incorporation does not contain any provisions that may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect or may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

Delaware Takeover Statute

In general, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a Delaware corporation that is a public company from engaging in any “business combination” (as defined below) with any “interested stockholder” (defined generally as an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with such entity or person) for a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1) prior to such date, our board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (2) on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned (x) by persons who are directors and also officers and (y) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or (3) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law defines “business combination” to include: (1) any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; (2) any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; (3) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; (4) any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or (5) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

Potential for Anti-Takeover Effects

While certain provisions of Delaware law may have an anti-takeover effect, these provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board, and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control. In that regard, these provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions also are intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

74

Choice of Forum

Our bylaws, as amended, provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, as amended; any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, as amended; and any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

These exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring certain claims in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find either exclusive forum provision in our bylaws, as amended, to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur further significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

These exclusive forum provisions will not apply, however, to actions arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent for our shares of common stock is Odyssey Trust Company, United Kingdom Building, 409 Granville Street, Suite 350, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDER

The Selling Securityholder may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of the shares of our common stock underlying the Convertible Debentures and Warrants and all the shares of our common stock registered for resale covered by this prospectus.

Selling Securityholder is offering for resale the issuance of 19,240,256 shares of our common stock underlying the Convertible Debentures, which entitle the holder to convert the principal and interest under the Convertible Debentures at a price of $0.10 per share for $900,000 principal amount convertible debentures and $0.30 per share for a $2,000,000 principal amount convertible debenture, (ii) the issuance by the Company of an aggregate of 25,240,256 shares of our common stock underlying the Warrants, which entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.13 per share for 8,536,110 warrants, $0.19 per share for 8,536,110 warrants and $0.40 per share for 8,168,037 warrants and 1,774,500 shares of Common Stock which we issued to the Selling Securityholder upon the partial exercise of the Convertible Debentures, are being registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to registration rights granted to the Selling Securityholder in connection with the issuances of such Convertible Debentures and Warrants. See the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” for further information regarding the Selling Securityholder’ method of distributing these securities. For purposes of this prospectus, we have assumed a conversion price of the Convertible Debentures of $0.10 per share for principal amount $900,000 and $0.30 per share of our common stock for $2,000,000 principal amount. For purposes of this prospectus, we have assumed an exercise price of the Warrants of $0.13 per share of our common stock for 8,536,110 warrants, $0.19 per share of our common stock for 8,536,110 warrants and $0.40 per share of our common stock for 8,168,037 warrants.

The following table provides, as of May 16, 2022, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock, Warrants and Convertible Debentures held by the Selling Securityholder, the securities that may be sold by the Selling Securityholder under this prospectus and the number and percentage of securities that the Selling Securityholder will beneficially own after this offering. Applicable percentages are based on 19,240,256 shares of our common stock underlying the Convertible Debentures, 25,240,256 shares of our common stock underlying the Warrants as of May 16, 2022 and 1,774,500 shares of our Common Stock held which we issued to the Selling Securityholder upon the partial exercise of the Convertible Debentures.

The Selling Securityholder is not making any representation that any shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale. Because the Selling Securityholder may dispose of all, none or some portion of their securities, no estimate can be given as to the number of securities that will be beneficially owned by a Selling Securityholder upon termination of this offering. For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering none of the securities covered by this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholder and further assumed that the Selling Securityholder will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering. In addition, the Selling Securityholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, our securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented.

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change this Selling Securityholder list and the securities that may be resold.

Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of our common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to the 2021 SPA and the 2022 SPA and upon exercise of the Warrants issued pursuant to the terms of the 2021 SPA and the 2022 SPA to permit the resale of these shares of our common stock by the holders of such shares and Warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Securityholder of the shares of our common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of our common stock.

The Selling Securityholder may sell all or a portion of the shares of our common stock it beneficially owns and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of our common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Securityholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of our common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

● on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

● in the over-the-counter market;

● in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

● through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

76

● ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

● block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

● purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

● an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

● privately negotiated transactions;

● short sales effected after the effective date of this Registration Statement;

● sales pursuant to Rule 144;

● broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

● a combination of any such methods of sale; and

● any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If the Selling Securityholder effects such transactions by selling shares of our common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholder or commissions from purchasers of the shares of our common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of our common stock or otherwise, the Selling Securityholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of our common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Securityholder may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Securityholder may also loan or pledge shares of our common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The Selling Securityholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of our common stock, Convertible Debentures or Warrants owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of our common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Securityholder to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Securityholder under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholder also may transfer and donate the shares of our common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The Selling Securityholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of our common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of our common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of our common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Securityholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of our common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of our common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of our common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The Selling Securityholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of our common stock by the Selling Securityholder and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of our common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of our common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of our common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of our common stock.

77

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of our common stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, estimated to be $42,179 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the Selling Securityholder against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, or the Selling Securityholder will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Securityholder against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of our common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. Future sales of our common stock in the public market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. The availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock acquired through the exercise of outstanding warrants could materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, sales of our common stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse as described below, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the prevailing market price to decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or perceptions.

Sale of Restricted Shares

As of June 23, 2022, there were 427,381,541 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Of the approximately 427,381,541 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 23, 2022, approximately 310.048.899 shares are tradable without restriction. These remaining shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated), including a person who may be deemed an “affiliate” of a company, who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least six months may sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: (1) 1% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock, or (2) if and when the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale was filed under Rule 144. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements as to the manner of sale, notice, and availability of current public information about our company. A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of us at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale by such person, and who has beneficially owned the restricted shares for at least one year, is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the restrictions described above.

We cannot estimate the number of shares of our common stock that our existing stockholders will elect to sell under Rule 144.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for our shares of common stock is Odyssey Trust Company, United Kingdom Building, 409 Granville Street, Suite 350, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock and warrants. This discussion is limited to certain U.S. federal income tax considerations to beneficial owners of our securities who hold the securities as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare contribution tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, such as:

● financial institutions or financial services entities;

● broker-dealers;

● insurance companies;

78

● governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

● regulated investment companies;

● real estate investment trusts;

● expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

● persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares;

● persons that acquired our securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

● dealers or traders subject to a mark to market method of accounting with respect to the securities;

● persons holding the securities as part of a “straddle,” hedge, constructive sale, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

● U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

● partnerships or other pass through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

● tax exempt entities.

If you are a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of your partners will generally depend on the status of the partners and your activities.

This discussion is based on the Code and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. tax law other than the U.S. federal income tax (such as gift, estate or Medicare contribution taxes) or except as discussed below, any tax reporting obligations of a holder of our securities. This discussion also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made on our securities and any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder from the sale or other disposition of our securities will be in U.S. dollars.

We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR SECURITIES. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN OUR SECURITIES IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS AND ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.

Personal Holding Company Status

We could be subject to a second level of U.S. federal income tax on a portion of our income if we are determined to be a personal holding company, or PHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. corporation generally will be classified as a PHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a given taxable year if (i) at any time during the last half of such taxable year, five or fewer individuals (without regard to their citizenship or residency and including as individuals for this purpose certain entities such as certain tax-exempt organizations, pension funds and charitable trusts) own or are deemed to own (pursuant to certain constructive ownership rules) more than 50% of the stock of the corporation by value and (ii) at least 60% of the corporation’s adjusted ordinary gross income, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, for such taxable year consists of PHC income (which includes, among other things, dividends, interest, certain royalties, annuities and, under certain circumstances, rents).

Depending on the date and size of our transactions, at least 60% of our adjusted ordinary gross income may consist of PHC income as discussed above. In addition, depending on the concentration of our stock in the hands of individuals, including the members of our sponsor and certain tax-exempt organizations, pension funds and charitable trusts, more than 50% of our stock may be owned or deemed owned (pursuant to the constructive ownership rules) by such persons during the last half of a taxable year. Thus, no assurance can be given that we will not become a PHC following this offering or in the future. If we are or were to become a PHC in a given taxable year, we would be subject to an additional PHC tax, currently 20%, on our undistributed PHC income, which generally includes our taxable income, subject to certain adjustments. The PHC requirements may apply to us in the taxable year of the offering and/or future taxable years.

79

U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder.” A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our securities who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

● an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

● a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

● an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

● a trust if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) it has in effect a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person.

Taxation of Distributions. If we pay cash distributions to U.S. holders of shares of our common stock, such distributions generally will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock and will be treated as described under “U.S. holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Securities” below.

Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Securities. Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of our securities which, in general, would include a redemption of common stock or warrants, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such securities. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the securities so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations that are not described herein because a discussion of such limitations depends on each U.S. holder’s particular facts and circumstances.

Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its securities so disposed of. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock or warrants generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost less, in the case of a share of common stock, any prior distributions treated as a return of capital.

Exercise or Lapse of a Warrant. Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a warrant, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss from the acquisition of common stock upon exercise of a warrant for cash. The U.S. holder’s tax basis in the share of our common stock received upon exercise of the warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. holder’s initial investment in the warrant and the exercise price. It is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of common stock received upon exercise of the warrants will commence on the date of exercise of the warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the warrants. If a warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in the warrant.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may be tax-free, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either tax-free situation, a U.S. holder’s basis in the common stock received would equal the holder’s basis in the warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of common stock would be treated as commencing on the date of exercise of the warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the common stock would include the holding period of the warrant.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. holder could be deemed to have surrendered warrants equal to the number of common shares having a value equal to the exercise price for the total number of warrants to be exercised. The U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value the warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the common stock received would equal the sum of the fair market value of the warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the warrants exercised. It is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of common stock would commence on the date of exercise of the warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the warrant.

80

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

Possible Constructive Distributions. The terms of each warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock for which the warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this prospectus captioned “Description of Securities — Warrants — Public Stockholders’ Warrants.” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. The U.S. holders of the warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from us if, for example, the adjustment increases the warrant holders’ proportionate interest in our assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of shares of common stock that would be obtained upon exercise) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of shares of our common stock which is taxable to the U.S. holders of such shares as described under “U.S. holders — Taxation of Distributions” above. For example, if the exercise price of the warrants is decreased as a result of certain taxable dividends paid to holders of the common stock (as contemplated by the terms of the warrant in certain circumstances), then the amount by which such exercise was decreased could be considered an increase in the warrant holder’s proportionate interest in our assets or earnings and profits, which may result in a constructive distribution to holders of the warrants. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if the U.S. holders of the warrants received a cash distribution from us equal to the fair market value of such increased interest. For certain information reporting purposes, we are required to determine the date and amount of any such constructive distributions. Recently proposed Treasury regulations, which we may rely on prior to the issuance of final regulations, specify how the date and amount of constructive distributions are determined.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. In general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends paid to a U.S. holder and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of our securities, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. holder.” A Non-U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our securities who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

● a non resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;

● a foreign corporation; or

● an estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder;

but does not include an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition. If you are such an individual, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale or other disposition of a security.

Taxation of Distributions. In general, any distributions we make to a Non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the common stock, which will be treated as described under “Non-U.S. holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Securities” below. In addition, if we determine that we are classified as a “United States real property holding corporation” (see “Non-U.S. holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Securities” below), we will withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

The withholding tax does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides a Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate).

81

Exercise of a Warrant. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a Non-U.S. holder’s exercise of a warrant, or the lapse of a warrant held by a Non-U.S. holder, generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise or lapse of a warrant by a U.S. holder, as described under “U.S. holders — Exercise or Lapse of a Warrant” above, although to the extent a cashless exercise results in a taxable exchange, the consequences would be similar to those described below in “Non-U.S. holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Securities.”

Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Securities. A Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our securities unless:

● the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. holder); or

● we are or have been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held our securities, and, in the case where shares of our common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of our common stock. There can be no assurance that our common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or lower treaty rate).

If the second bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our securities will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of our securities from such holder may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. We will be classified as a U.S. real property holding corporation if the fair market value of our “U.S. real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our securities. A Non-U.S. holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA Withholding Taxes. Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on our securities, and, beginning January 1, 2019, sales or other disposition proceeds from our securities to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other Non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner of the payment that is not a foreign financial institution (or that is a foreign financial institution entitled to a reduced rate of withholding tax with respect to such payment under an income tax treaty) generally may be entitled to a refund or credit of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return and providing certain other information to the IRS (which may entail significant administrative burden). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisers regarding the effects of FATCA on their investment in our securities.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION’S POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR

SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Western Magnesium Corporation

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Western Magnesium Corporation (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows, for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Western Magnesium Corporation (the “Company”, or “WMC”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on March 24, 1966. On May 14, 2019, the Company discontinued from the jurisdiction of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and domesticated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware under the name “Western Magnesium Corporation”. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada and in the United States, listed for trading in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) under the symbol “WMG.V”, in the United States on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets (the “OTCQB”) under the symbol “MLYF”, and in Germany on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “3WM”. The Company has developed proprietary magnesium production technology with the aim of becoming a premier low-cost producer of green primary magnesium metal.

As at October 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $52,129,621 (October 31, 2020 – $28,580,009) and working capital deficiency of $9,657,316 (October 31, 2020 – $2,392,189). For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Company reported a comprehensive loss of $23,827,678 (2020 – $4,749,411). The Company is considered to be in the development stage. It has not yet achieved profitable operations and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. The Company has financed its activities and operations through equity issuances and debt financing and expects to continue to do so to the extent such instruments are issuable under terms acceptable to the Company and until such time as its operations provide positive cash flows.

These consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Management believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate for these Financial Statements based on its continuing ability to raise financings through share and debt issuances. If future financing is unavailable or if for any reason the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it could impact the Company’s ability to realize its assets at their recognized values and to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business at the amounts stated in these Financial Statements. These Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption is not used, the adjustments required to report the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis could be material to these Financial Statements. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. In order to combat the spread of COVID-19, governments worldwide, including the Unites States and Canada, have enacted emergency measures including travel bans, legally enforced or self-imposed quarantine periods, social distancing and business and organization closures. These measures have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The impact on the Company has not been significant but could affect the Company’s ability to raise financings in the future and restrict travel. Management continues to monitor the situation.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These Financial Statements comprise the financial statements of Western Magnesium Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Western Magnesium Canada Corporation, incorporated in British Columbia, Canada and Western Magnesium Corp., incorporated in the State of Nevada in the United States.

[a] Accounting standards

The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

These Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

[b] Functional and presentation currency

These Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars (“US dollars” or “USD”), except where otherwise indicated. The functional currency of each entity of the Company is as follows:

Entity	Functional Currency
Western Magnesium Corporation	Canadian dollars (“CA$”)
Western Magnesium Canada Corporation	Canadian dollars
Western Magnesium Corp.	United States dollars

The accounts of the Company, and those of its subsidiary Western Magnesium Canada Corporation, have been translated to US dollars.

[c] Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Significant Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of these Financial Statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. Management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Estimates and assumptions where there is potential risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financial instruments, discount rates for leases, the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Significant Judgments

The preparation of these Financial Statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in applying the Company’s Financial Statements include:

- the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to substantial doubt;

- whether there are indicators of impairment of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets and other non-current assets;

- the classification of financial instruments; and

- determination of functional currency.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Financial Statements by the Company and its subsidiaries.

[a] Principles of consolidation

These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries as described in note 2. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

[b] Foreign currency

Items included in the financial statements of each consolidated entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the prevailing exchange rates on the dates of transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of an entity are recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiary with a functional currency in Canadian dollars are translated at the period end rates of exchange, and the results of its operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. Equity transactions have been translated using historical rates in effect on the date that each transaction occurred. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as shareholders’ equity or deficit. Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses related to certain intercompany loans that are permanent in nature are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

[c] Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid financial instruments that are readily convertible into cash with original maturities of three months or less.

[d] Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of an item of PP&E consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of PP&E, less their estimated residual value. The depreciation rates and method applicable to each category of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Class	Rate
Computer equipment	55% declining balance
Furniture	20% declining balance
Plant equipment	20% declining balance
Furnace	To be determined
Leasehold improvement	Term of lease
Right-of-use assets	Term of lease

F-10

WESTERN MAGNESIUM CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended October 31, 2021 and 2020
Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

An item of PP&E is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Where an item of PP&E comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of PP&E that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures, are capitalized.

[e] Reclamation deposits

The Company maintains cash deposits, as required by regulatory bodies, as assurance for the funding of decommissioning costs. These funds are restricted to that purpose and are not available to the Company until the reclamation obligations have been fulfilled and are therefore classified as long-term assets.

[f] Research and development

Expenditures on research activities taken to develop a pyro metallurgical process to extract and recover magnesium metal from dolomite are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures are expensed in the period incurred.

[g] Mineral property acquisition and exploration assets

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral property claims.

Costs related to the development of mineral reserves are capitalized when it has been determined an ore body can be economically developed. The development stage begins when an ore body is determined to be economically recoverable based on proven and probable reserves and appropriate permits are in place, and ends when the production stage or exploitation of reserves begins. Major mine development expenditures are capitalized, including primary development costs such as costs of building access ways, tailings impoundment, development of water supply and infrastructure developments.

Exploration costs include those relating to activities carried out (a) in search of previously unidentified mineral deposits, or (b) at undeveloped concessions. Pre-development activities involve costs incurred in the exploration stage that may ultimately benefit production that are expensed due to the lack of evidence of economic development, which is necessary to demonstrate future recoverability of these expenses. Secondary development costs are incurred for preparation of an ore body for production in a specific ore block or work area, providing a relatively short-lived benefit only to the mine area they relate to, and not to the ore body as a whole. All exploration costs have been expensed.

Once production has commenced, capitalized costs will be depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in that period.

The carrying cost of mineral properties is assessed for impairment whenever information or circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. Such evaluations compare estimated future net cash flows with carrying costs and future obligations on an undiscounted basis. If it is determined that the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, a write down to the estimated fair value is charged to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the period. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses if the carrying value can be recovered.

F-11

WESTERN MAGNESIUM CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended October 31, 2021 and 2020
Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

Management conducted an impairment test on its mineral properties for recoverability and impairment loss during the years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 and determined that its mineral properties were not impaired.

For significant development projects, interest is capitalized as part of the historical cost of developing and constructing assets in accordance with ASC 835-20. Interest is capitalized until the asset is ready for service. Capitalized interest is determined by multiplying the Company’s weighted-average borrowing cost on general debt by the average amount of qualifying costs incurred. Once an asset subject to interest capitalization is completed and placed in service, the associated capitalized interest is expensed through depletion or impairment.

[h] Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are evaluated at the end of each reporting period by management for indicators that carrying value is impaired and may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present, non-financial assets are tested for impairment as an individual asset, as part of an asset group or at the reporting unit (“RU”) level. An asset group is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows (i.e. both cash inflows and cash outflows) that are largely independent of the net cash flows of other groups of assets. An RU is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment if certain conditions are met. Impairment tests for non-financial assets subject to depreciation or amortization are applied to individual assets if possible. If this is not possible, then these assets are tested for impairment at the asset group level.

An impairment loss is triggered for non-financial assets only if the asset’s, or asset group’s, carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the carrying amount is greater than the undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group). If the carrying amount is not recoverable, then the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) and the fair value of the asset (asset group). An impairment loss for an asset group is allocated pro rata to the non-financial assets in the asset group. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss and are not reversed.

[i] Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes” regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company initially recognizes tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Application requires numerous estimates based on available information. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, and its recognized tax positions and tax benefits may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. As additional information is obtained, there may be a need to periodically adjust the recognized tax positions and tax benefits.

These periodic adjustments may have a material impact on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. When applicable, the Company classifies penalties and interest associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in its consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

[j] Loss per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders (numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. The denominator is calculated by adjusting the shares issued at the beginning of the period by the number of shares bought back during the period, multiplied by a time-weighting factor.

Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of dilutive options and other dilutive potential units. The effects of anti-dilutive options and potential units are ignored in calculating diluted EPS. All options and potential units are considered anti-dilutive when the Company is in a loss position.

[k] Share-based payments

The Company has an equity-settled share purchase stock option plan that is described in note 14. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and are expensed over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specific vesting conditions are satisfied. For awards with graded vesting, the fair value of each tranche is recognized over its respective vesting period.

The fair value of stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically re-measured until the counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the vesting period of the award and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity-based instruments. The cost of the stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable as at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date, unless there is a contractual term for services in which case such compensation would be amortized over the contractual term.

The Company accounts for the granting of stock options to employees using the fair value method whereby all awards to employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of the grant. The fair value of all stock options is expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

Compensation costs for stock-based payments that do not include performance conditions are recognized on a straight-line basis. Compensation cost associated with a share-based award having a performance condition is only recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable. Share-based awards with a performance condition are accrued on an award by award basis.

The share-based compensation fair value is determined using an estimated forfeiture rate. Compensation ultimately recognized is revised in subsequent periods to reflect final grant amounts. For employees and consultants who are working on specific capital projects, the share-based compensation is allocated to projects under development. For the remainder of employees and consultants, the compensation is expensed.

[l] Decommissioning liabilities

The Company records a liability for the reclamation of its exploration and evaluation interests based on the best estimate of costs for site closure and reclamation activities that the Company is legally or constructively required to remediate, and the liability is recognized at the time the environmental disturbance occurs. The resulting costs are capitalized to the corresponding asset. The fair value of the provision for closure and reclamation liabilities is estimated using expected cash flows, based on engineering and environmental reports prepared by third party industry specialists, discounted at a pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The capitalized amount is amortized on the same basis as the related asset. The liability is adjusted for accretion of the discounted obligation and any changes in the amount or timing of the underlying future cash flows. Significant judgments and estimates are involved in forming expectations of the amount and timing of future site closure and reclamation cash flows. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the provision at the reporting date.

[m] Share capital

The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of issuance costs. Shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued at the quoted price on the date the shares are issued.

[n] Financial instruments

The Company’s classification of its financial instruments is as follows:

Asset or Liability	Classification
Cash	Held-for-trading
Amounts receivable	Amortized cost
Accounts payable	Amortized cost
Due to related parties	Amortized cost
Promissory note and convertible debenture	Amortized cost
Derivative liability	Fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”)

The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on the following three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s derivative liability is based on Level 3 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. .

Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluates its financial instruments and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instruments that become subject to reclassification are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value derivative liabilities. This model uses Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Accounting Standards Adopted During the Year

Fair Value Measurements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which adds the disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Certain alternatives apply. Effective November 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new standard. There was no material impact or adjustment to these Financial Statements.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

There are no new accounting standards not yet adopted by the Company that are expected to have a significant impact on its Financial Statements.

10. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

[a] Contingent liabilities

[i] On September 29, 2020, James Sever filed a Notice of Civil Claim against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Sever Claim”). The Sever Claim alleges that Mr. Sever had an employment and/or other similar contractual relationship with the Company, and that the Company breached such contractual relationship by way of constructive dismissal or similar conduct. The Sever Claim seeks damages in excess of $2.5 million, certain equity compensation, prejudgment garnishment, costs, interest and other non-monetary relief. On July 27, 2021, the Company filed a response to the Sever Claim, which included the following pleadings: (a) that the Company was never properly served with the Sever Claim; (b) that the Company had never had any form of employment, independent or consulting relationship or agreement with Mr. Sever; (c) that the Company had no debts, liabilities or obligations to Mr. Sever; (d) that to the extent that Mr. Sever had some form of employment, independent or consulting or similar relationship or agreement as alleged in the Sever Claim, such contract or relationship, if one existed, was never with the Company and was with some other corporate entity. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the Sever Claim, and believes that the Sever Claim is without merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of the Sever Claim, no provision has been recognized as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

[ii] On December 30, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Frank Halliday, a former director and officer of the Company, whereby the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Halliday termination pay in the amount of CA$102,001 (USD equivalent $76,588) via installment payments commencing in January 2021 until October 2021.

[iii] On December 31, 2020, GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (“GEM”) served the Company with a Notice of Intention to Arbitrate (the “New York Arbitration Notice”) before the American Arbitration Association in New York (the “GEM New York Arbitration”). The New York Arbitration Notice alleges the Company breached a Share Subscription Agreement dated November 15, 2019 entered into between the Company and GEM (the “GEM Agreement”), among other things, claiming damages of CA$4.2 million (USD equivalent $3.4 million). On January 19, 2021, the Company filed a petition in the New York Supreme Court to stay the GEM New York Arbitration claiming the GEM Agreement was not valid. On March 19, 2021, the Court in the New York State Action ruled that there was an arbitration clause in the GEM Agreement but it was up to the arbitrator to determine if the arbitration clause was valid. Following this ruling, the New York State Action was closed. In June 2021, GEM filed a Statement of Claim in the GEM New York Arbitration, and the Company filed a Statement of Answer denying the existence of any binding agreement between the Company and GEM, among other defenses. In January 2022, the Company filed a Modified Statement of Defense and Counterclaims. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the GEM New York Arbitration and believes the allegations lack merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration proceeding, no provision has been recognized in respect to the GEM New York Arbitration as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

[iv] On February 8, 2021, GEM instituted another arbitration against the Company before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in Montreal Canada (the “GEM Montreal Arbitration”) and joined GEM’s affiliate, GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (“GEM Global Yield” together with GEM, the “GEM Parties”). The Statement of Claim filed by the GEM Parties alleges the Company breached a Share Subscription Agreement dated November 15, 2019 and promissory note, among other things, claiming damages of approximately CA$4.9 million (USD equivalent $3.9 million), in addition to costs and expenses, stemming from the Company’s alleged failure to issue to GEM Global Yield warrants to purchase up to 33 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company filed a Statement of Defense denying the existence of any binding agreement between the Company and GEM, among other defenses. In January 2022, the Company filed an Amended Statement of Defense and Cross-claim. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the GEM Montreal Arbitration and believes the allegations lack merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration proceeding, no provision has been recognized in respect to the GEM Montreal Arbitration as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

[v] On April 19, 2021, Lampert Advisors, LLC (“Lampert”) filed a Verified Complaint against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Western Magnesium Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Western Magnesium – Nevada”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “Lampert Lawsuit”). The complaint filed in the Lampert Lawsuit alleges that Lampert entered into an agreement with Western Magnesium – Nevada to provide various financial advisory services including acquisition advisory services and act as an exclusive placement agent for a combination of debt and equity securities (the “Lampert Agreement”), that it performed all services required under that agreement and that it is owed $367,227 plus interest at the rate of 9% from February 3, 2021 and that it has a right of first refusal to act as financial advisor in connection with any debt, equity or debt restructuring assignments on terms, conditions and compensation customary for Lampert for a transaction of the type contemplated. Although Lampert claims to have personally served Western Magnesium – Nevada, the Company never received the Summons and Complaint and therefore, never submitted a response. On September 9, 2021, Lampert filed a Motion seeking the entry of a default judgment (the “Motion”). The Company opposed the Motion and filed a cross-motion to compel Lampert to accept the Company’s answer. The Court granted the Company’s cross-motion and denied Lampert’s Motion as moot. The Court scheduled a preliminary conference for the parties on March 30, 2022. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the Lampert Lawsuit, and believes that the Lampert Lawsuit is without merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of the Lampert Lawsuit, no provision has been recognized as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

In the event the Company issues or sells any common stock or common stock equivalents with terms that the purchaser holding the outstanding June 2021 Convertible Debenture (the “Convertible Debenture Holder”) or the Class A and B Warrants reasonably believes are more favorable to such holder than the terms of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture or the Class A and B Warrants, then upon notice to the Company by such holder within five trading days after notice to such holder by the Company, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the TSX-V and any additional required regulatory approval to amend the terms of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture or the Class A and B Warrants as required, as the case may be, so as to give such holder the benefit of such more favorable terms or conditions.

The conversion price of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture and the exercise price of the Class A and B Warrants are subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events, including merger or consolidation of the Company or in a “Fundamental Transaction” as defined in the June 2021 Convertible Debenture.

The Company has granted the holders certain rights of first refusal on its future offerings for as long as the June 2021 Convertible Debenture or the Class A and B Warrants are outstanding.

The Company may prepay and satisfy the June 2021 Convertible Debenture so long as an event of default has not occurred, upon 20 days’ prior written notice received by the Company to the holder, by paying 125% of the amounts owed on the June 2021 Convertible Debenture, including all principal, interest and other fees. The holder of this debenture may, however, convert all or a portion of the debenture during the 20-day notice period.

[d] Debt Host Liability and Embedded Derivative Liability

The July 2020 Convertible Debenture and the June 2021 Convertible Debenture were determined to be hybrid financial instruments comprised of a debt host liability and an embedded derivative liability, as under the conversion feature the number of shares that will or may be issued to settle the notes may vary. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model based on different default risks and assumptions. The debt host liability of the convertible note will be measured at amortized cost, with the embedded derivative liability measured at fair value through profit and loss.

On issuance date of the July 2020 Convertible Debenture, the fair value of its debt host liability was determined to be $87,083 and the respective embedded derivative liability was valued at $25,041. Fair value adjustments were made to the embedded derivative liability of the July 2020 Convertible Debenture on conversion date of May 18, 2021. As at October 31, 2021, the amortized cost of the July 2020 Convertible Debenture’s debt host liability was $nil (October 31, 2020 – $96,318) and the fair value of the embedded derivative liability was $nil (October 31, 2020 – $20,123), resulting in a combined value of $nil (October 31, 2020 – $116,441). The July 2020 Convertible Debenture had an effective interest rate of 37%.

On issuance date of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture, the embedded derivative liability was valued at $1,646,600 which exceeded the face value of the note itself of $1,500,000, the debt host liability was then assigned a face value of $1, with an immediate loss of $146,601 on recognition of the debt host liability. As at October 31, 2021, the amortized cost of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture’s debt host liability was $44 (October 31, 2020 – $nil) and the fair value of the embedded derivative liability was $7,449,700 (October 31, 2020 – $nil), resulting in a combined value of $7,449,744 (October 31, 2020 – $nil). The June 2021 Convertible Debenutre has an effective interest rate of 1,448%

[d] Stock options

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan, effective on August 8, 2017 and as amended on August 8, 2018, under the rules of the TSX-V pursuant to which it is authorized to grant stock options to executive officers, directors, employees and consultants, enabling them to acquire up to 20% of the total shares outstanding of the Company (the “2017 Stock Option Plan”). Under the 2017 Stock Option Plan, the option exercise price of any option granted shall not be less than the discounted market price of the Company’s common shares. For the purposes of the 2017 Stock Option Plan, the discounted market price is calculated in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V at the time of the grant of the options. Stock options granted are subject to a maximum term of 5 years. All options granted shall vest immediately, except for those options granted to persons performing investor relations activities for the Company. Pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V, shares issued upon the exercise of options are restricted from trading during the 4-month period subsequent to the exercise of options.

On June 11, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan which replaces the 2017 Stock Option for providing stock-based compensation to directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company and no further options will be granted under the 2017 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up 27,312,368 shares of the Company. In addition, any common shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Stock Option Plan that are forfeited as a result of the expiration or termination of any awards under that plan after the date of adoption of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan will be added to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. During the year ended October 31, 2021, 1,730,000 stock options forfeited under the 2017 Stock Option Plan were added to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan provides for various equity-based and cash-based incentive awards, including incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents and other equity-based or cash-based awards.

During the year ended October 31, 2020, the Company granted 6,600,000 stock options pursuant to its 2017 Stock Option Plan to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. These options are exercisable at a price ranging from CA$0.11 to CA$0.16 per share for a period of two to five years.

On December 30, 2020, the Company granted 15,650,000 stock options pursuant to its 2017 Stock Option Plan to its directors, officers, employees and consultants at a price of CA$0.13 per share, of which 9,500,000 were exercisable for a period of five years and 6,150,000 were exercisable for a period of two years. However, these options exceeded the maximum allowed under the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan. On June 11, 2021, the Company received shareholders’ approval to amend the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of common shares reserved for issuance under such plan and rectified the grant of these options.

On August 30, 2021, the Company granted 21,700,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.70 per share for a period of five years.

On October 1, 2021, the Company granted 1,450,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to its officer and employee and consultants. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.50 per share for a period of five years.

As at October 31, 2021, the maximum number of common shares available under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan was 29,042,368, of which 5,892,368 remained available for grant thereunder.

During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Company recognized a net stock-based compensation totaling $11,051,124 (2020 – $666,259) in relation to the grant of its stock options.

The weighted average grant date fair value of the stock options granted during the year ended October 31, 2021 was CA$0.36 (2020 – CA$0.14) per option. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of stock options was estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value were as follows:

	2021			2020
Risk free rate of interest		0.20% – 1.07	%		0.43% – 1.51	%
Expected life of options		2 to 5 years			5 years
Exercise price of options		CA$0.13 – CA$0.70			CA$0.11 – CA$0.16
Expected annualized volatility		130.88% – 140.05	%		120.13% – 188.46	%
Expected dividend rate		Nil			Nil

The intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended October 31, 2021 was $962,936 (2020 – $28,533).

[e] Share-based payments and other reserves

The share-based payments and other reserves are used to recognize the fair value of stock options granted to executive officers, directors, employees and consultants as part of their remuneration, as well as those of broker warrants issued in relation to the Company’s financings. When stock options and broker warrants are subsequently exercised, the fair value of such stock options and broker warrants in reserves is credited to share capital.

Common share purchase warrants attached to units as part of a unit placement are assigned a $nil value. The residual method is used to calculate the fair value of the warrant component of units issued, whereby the residual of the private placement proceeds less the fair value of the share component is assigned as the fair value of the warrants.

In addition, the Company has allocated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the July 2021 Convertible Debenture capped at the face value of CA$100,000 (USD equivalent $79,542) to equity reserves.

[f] Obligations to issue shares

As at October 31, 2021, the Company received advance share subscriptions in the amount of $209,827 (October 31, 2020 – $596,872) in respect of a non-brokered private placement closed subsequent to the year [note 19[iv]].

[g] Dilutive common shares

For the year ended October 31, 2021, potentially dilutive common shares relating to common share purchase warrants and options outstanding totaling 120,808,982 (2020 – 38,529,642) were not included in the computation of loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company classifies the components of shareholders’ equity as capital, which at October 31, 2021, was a deficiency of $6,770,038 (October 31, 2020 – $2,079,903). When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern and advance stakeholders’ interests. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support its business and technology development. The Company’s board of directors does not establish qualitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company focuses on plant operations and magnesium production and continues to move towards the buildout of its pilot plant facility and the development of a full-scale commercial magnesium production facility. The Company is considered to be in the development stage and is dependent upon external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out its business development activities and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is appropriate. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s classification of its financial instruments is as follows:

Financial Instruments	Measurement Method	Associated Risk	Fair Value at October 31, 2021 ($)
Cash	FVTPL	Credit and currency	462,360
Amounts receivable	Amortized cost	Credit and currency	151,485
Deposits held by related parties	Amortized cost	Credit and currency	486,462
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	Amortized cost	Currency	1,989,316
Due to related parties	Amortized cost	Currency	1,026,817
Convertible debenture	Amortized cost	Currency	107
Convertible debenture - derivative liability	FVTPL	Currency	7,449,700

[a] Fair value

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. The fair value of current financial instruments except derivative liability approximates their carrying values as long as they are short-term in nature or bear interest at market rates.

[b] Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments that are held at fair value are categorized based on a valuation hierarchy which is determined by the valuation methodology utilized. The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on the following three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents are valued using a market approach based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market obtained from securities exchanges. As at October 31, 2021, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company was based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the period.

The Company evaluates its financial instruments and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instruments that become subject to reclassification are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

F-32

WESTERN MAGNESIUM CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended October 31, 2021 and 2020
Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value derivative liabilities. This model uses Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the embedded derivative are disclosed in note 13[d].

[c] Financial risk management

The Company’s board of directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in response to the Company’s activities. Management regularly monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.

In the normal course of operations, the Company is exposed to various risks such interest rate, foreign exchange, commodity, credit, and liquidity. To manage these risks, management determines what activities must be undertaken to minimize potential exposure to risks. The objectives of the Company in managing risks are as follows:

● Maintaining sound financial condition:

● Financing operations; and

● Ensuring liquidity to all operations.

In order to satisfy these objectives, the Company has adopted the following policies:

● Prepare budget documents at prevailing market rates to ensure clear corporate alignment to performance management and achievement of targets;

● Recognize and observe the extent of operating risk within the business; and

● Identify the magnitude of the impact of market risk factors on the overall risk of the business and take advantage of natural risk reductions that arise from these relationships.

[i] Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash on deposits with banks and, from time to time, on its holdings of short-term investments. As of October 31, 2021, the Company had $462,360 (October 31, 2020 − $39,571) of cash on deposits with banks. The Company had no short-term investment as at October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020. Given the level of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company, fluctuations in the market interest rates had no significant impact on its interest income during the year ended October 31, 2021.

[ii] Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, deposits held by related parties, accounts payable, due to related parties and convertible debenture that are denominated in US dollars. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

Based on the Company net exposures as at October 31, 2021, assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 5% appreciation or deterioration of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase or decrease of $262,941 in the Company’s net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Convertible debenture		(1,500,000	)
Total		(2,067,422	)

[iii] Commodity price risk

The value of the Company’s magnesium production business and its exploration and evaluation assets are dependent on the price of magnesium and the outlook for this mineral. Market prices for these metals historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside the Company’s control, including but not limited to, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand, industrial and retail demand, as well as certain other factors related specifically to magnesium. If magnesium prices decline for a prolonged period below the cost of production, it may not be economically feasible to continue towards production.

[iv] Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations and arises principally from trade receivables. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and deposits held by related parties. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on cash as these financial instruments are held with major Canadian and international banks. Amounts receivable consist primarily of GST due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes the credit risk concentration with respect to amounts receivable is remote. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

[v] Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on its purchasing commitments and obligations and its ability to raise funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring its actual and forecasted working capital requirements to ensure there is capital to meet short-term and long-term obligations. As of October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, the Company had working capital deficiency of $9,657,316 and $2,392,189, respectively. As disclosed in note 1 of these Financial Statements, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors. The Company’s cash is primarily deposited in bank accounts and held as deposits by certain related parties. The Company anticipates that its cash on hand and deposits, together with expected funds raised from private placements and on exercises of common share purchase warrants and stock options, as well as debt financing, will provide sufficient financial resources to carry out its operations through the next twelve months. However, additional funding will be required. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the funds necessary to continue future operations. Liquidity risk has been assessed as high.

WESTERN MAGNESIUM CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Western Magnesium Corporation (the “Company”, or “WMC”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on March 24, 1966. On May 14, 2019, the Company discontinued from the jurisdiction of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and domesticated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware under the name “Western Magnesium Corporation”. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada and in the United States, listed for trading in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) under the symbol “WMG.V”, in the United States on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets (the “OTCQB”) under the symbol “MLYF”, and in Germany on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “3WM”. The Company has developed proprietary magnesium production technology with the aim of becoming a premier low-cost producer of green primary magnesium metal.

As at April 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $65,894,907 (October 31, 2021 – $52,129,621) and working capital deficiency of $7,172,573 (October 31, 2021 – $9,657,316). For the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Company reported a comprehensive loss of $13,551,323 (2021 – $2,745,438). The Company has not yet achieved profitable operations and expects to incur further losses from operations. The Company has financed its activities and operations through equity issuances and debt financing and expects to continue to do so to the extent such financing is available. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available under terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Management believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate for these Financial Statements based on its continuing ability to raise financings through share and debt issuances. If future financing is unavailable or if for any reason the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it could impact the Company’s ability to realize its assets at their recognized values and to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business at the amounts stated in these Financial Statements. These Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption is not used, the adjustments required to report the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis could be material to these Financial Statements.

The Company’s management has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has determined that substantial doubt existed as of April 30, 2022. This determination was based on the following factors: (i) the Company used cash of approximately $4.0 million in operations during the six months ended April 30, 2022; (ii) the Company’s available cash as of April 30, 2022 will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for the next 12 months; (iii) the Company will require additional financing for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2022 to continue at its expected level of operations; and (iv) if the Company fails to obtain the needed capital, it will be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of its development activities or perhaps cease operations. In the opinion of management, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of these Financial Statements are issued.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. In order to combat the spread of COVID-19, governments worldwide, including the Unites States and Canada, have enacted emergency measures including travel bans, legally enforced or self-imposed quarantine periods, social distancing and business and organization closures. These measures have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The impact on the Company has not been significant but could affect the Company’s ability to raise financings in the future and restrict travel. Management continues to monitor the situation.

F-41

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These Financial Statements comprise the financial statements of Western Magnesium Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Western Magnesium Corp., incorporated in Nevada, United States and Western Magnesium Canada Corporation, incorporated in British Columbia, Canada.

[a] Accounting standards

The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due and continue its operations for at least one year from the date these Financial Statements are issued. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

These Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. They do not include all the information required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2021 (the “Fiscal 2021 Financial Statements”).

[b] Functional and presentation currency

These Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars (“US dollars” or “US$”), except where otherwise indicated. The functional currency of each entity of the Company is as follows:

Entity	Functional Currency
Western Magnesium Corporation	United States dollars
Western Magnesium Corp.	United States dollars
Western Magnesium Canada Corporation	Canadian dollars (“CA$”)

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, significant changes in economic facts and circumstances have occurred in Western Magnesium Corporation’s operations which resulted in the change of its functional currency to the United States dollars from the Canadian dollar effective November 1, 2021. For both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities, translated balances at the end of the prior period become the new accounting basis. The rate on the date of change becomes the historical rate at which non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated in subsequent years. There is no effect on the cumulative translation adjustment on the consolidated basis. Previously recorded cumulative translation adjustments are not reversed. Effects of change in functional currency included the reclassifications of convertible debentures and warrants and broker warrants [notes 12[d] and [e]].

The accounts of the Company’s subsidiary Western Magnesium Canada Corporation have been translated to United States dollars with the exchange translation adjustments recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

F-42

[c] Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Significant Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of these Financial Statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Estimates and assumptions where there is potential risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financial instruments, discount rates for leases, recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and contingent liabilities.

Significant Judgments

The preparation of these Financial Statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in applying the Company’s Financial Statements include:

- the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to substantial doubt;

- whether there are indicators of impairment of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets and other non-current assets;

- the classification of financial instruments; and

- determination of functional currency.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Accounting Standards Adopted During the Periods

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Effective November 1, 2021, the Company adopted the new standard. There was no material impact or adjustment to these Financial Statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2020-01”), which is intended to clarify the interactions of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Effective November 1, 2021, the Company adopted the new standard. There was no material impact or adjustment to these Financial Statements.

F-43

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments and supersedes the respective guidance within ASC 470-20 and ASC 740-10-55-51, which will result in more instruments to be accounted for as a single instrument rather than having their proceeds allocated between liability and equity accounting units. As smaller reporting companies as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its Financial Statements.

[a] Contingent liabilities

[i] On September 29, 2020, James Sever filed a Notice of Civil Claim against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Sever Claim”). The Sever Claim alleges that Mr. Sever had an employment and/or other similar contractual relationship with the Company, and that the Company breached such contractual relationship by way of constructive dismissal or similar conduct. The Sever Claim seeks damages in excess of $2.5 million, certain equity compensation, prejudgment garnishment, costs, interest and other non-monetary relief. On July 27, 2021, the Company filed a response to the Sever Claim. On April 5, 2022, the Company filed an amended response to the Sever Claim, which included the following pleadings: (a) British Columbia is an inappropriate and inconvenient forum for the Sever Claim; (b) to the extent that British Columbia is the appropriate forum for the Sever Claim, nonetheless: (i) the Sever Claim is barred in whole or in part by applicable doctrines of delay / statute of limitations, (ii) the Company did not constructively dismiss Mr. Sever and, instead, it was Mr. Sever that abandoned, quit or resigned from his obligations to the Company, (iii) the Company has no debts, liabilities or obligations to Mr. Sever. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the Sever Claim, and believes that the Sever Claim is without merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of the Sever Claim, no provision has been recognized as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

[ii] On December 31, 2020, GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (“GEM”) served the Company with a Notice of Intention to Arbitrate (the “New York Arbitration Notice”) before the American Arbitration Association in New York (the “GEM New York Arbitration”). The New York Arbitration Notice alleges the Company breached a Share Subscription Agreement dated November 15, 2019 entered into between the Company and GEM (the “GEM Agreement”), among other things, claiming damages of approximately $3.4 million (CA$4.2 million). On January 19, 2021, the Company filed a petition in the New York Supreme Court to stay the GEM New York Arbitration claiming the GEM Agreement was not valid. On March 19, 2021, the Court in the New York State Action ruled that there was an arbitration clause in the GEM Agreement but it was up to the arbitrator to determine if the arbitration clause was valid. Following this ruling, the New York State Action was closed. In June 2021, GEM filed a Statement of Claim in the GEM New York Arbitration, and the Company filed a Statement of Answer denying the existence of any binding agreement between the Company and GEM, among other defenses. In January 2022, the Company filed a Modified Statement of Defense and Counterclaims. On April 8, 2022, the parties agreed to consolidate this arbitration with the GEM Montreal Arbitration. The parties then filed consolidated pleadings, and both matters will be decided via arbitration in Montreal. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the GEM New York Arbitration and believes the allegations lack merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration proceeding, no provision has been recognized in respect to the GEM New York Arbitration as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

F-48

[iii] On February 8, 2021, GEM instituted another arbitration against the Company before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in Montreal Canada (the “GEM Montreal Arbitration”) and joined GEM’s affiliate, GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (“GEM Global Yield” together with GEM, the “GEM Parties”). The Statement of Claim filed by the GEM Parties alleges the Company breached a Share Subscription Agreement dated November 15, 2019 and promissory note, among other things, claiming damages of approximately $3.9 million (CA$4.9 million), in addition to costs and expenses, stemming from the Company’s alleged failure to issue to GEM Global Yield warrants to purchase up to 33 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company filed a Statement of Defense denying the existence of any binding agreement between the Company and GEM, among other defenses. In January 2022, the Company filed an Amended Statement of Defense and Cross-claim. On April 8, 2022, the parties agreed to consolidate this arbitration with the GEM New York Arbitration.  The parties then filed consolidated pleadings, and both matters will be decided via arbitration in Montreal. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the GEM Montreal Arbitration and believes the allegations lack merit.

[iv] On April 19, 2021, Lampert Advisors, LLC (“Lampert”) filed a Verified Complaint against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Western Magnesium Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Western Magnesium – Nevada”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “Lampert Lawsuit”). The complaint filed in the Lampert Lawsuit alleges that Lampert entered into an agreement with Western Magnesium – Nevada to provide various financial advisory services including acquisition advisory services and act as an exclusive placement agent for a combination of debt and equity securities (the “Lampert Agreement”), that it performed all services required under that agreement and that it is owed $367,227 plus interest at the rate of 9% from February 3, 2021 and that it has a right of first refusal to act as financial advisor in connection with any debt, equity or debt restructuring assignments on terms, conditions and compensation customary for Lampert for a transaction of the type contemplated. Although Lampert claims to have personally served Western Magnesium – Nevada, the Company never received the Summons and Complaint and therefore, never submitted a response. On September 9, 2021, Lampert filed a Motion seeking the entry of a default judgment (the “Motion”). The Company opposed the Motion and filed a cross-motion to compel Lampert to accept the Company’s answer. The Court granted the Company’s cross-motion and denied Lampert’s Motion as moot. On March 4, 2022, the Company filed a Verified Amended Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims. The counterclaims seek at least $120,000 in damages from Lampert. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the Lampert Lawsuit and prosecute its counterclaims, and the Company believes that the claims asserted by Lampert are without merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of the Lampert Lawsuit, no provision has been recognized as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

* The Company received approval of the TSX-V on January 13, 2021 and amended the expiry date of 3,643,791 warrants, extending the expiry date from January 17, 2021 to August 31, 2021, subject to acceleration if the closing price of the Company’s shares exceeds CA$0.30 per common share for at least 10 consecutive trading days.

[d] Stock options

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan, effective on August 8, 2017 and as amended on August 8, 2018, under the rules of the TSX-V pursuant to which it is authorized to grant stock options to executive officers, directors, employees and consultants, enabling them to acquire up to 20% of the total shares outstanding of the Company (the “2017 Stock Option Plan”). Under the 2017 Stock Option Plan, the option exercise price of any option granted shall not be less than the discounted market price of the Company’s common shares. For the purposes of the 2017 Stock Option Plan, the discounted market price is calculated in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V at the time of the grant of the options. Stock options granted are subject to a maximum term of 5 years. All options granted shall vest immediately, except for those options granted to persons performing investor relations activities for the Company. Pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V, shares issued upon the exercise of options are restricted from trading during the 4-month period subsequent to the exercise of options.

On June 11, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan which replaces the 2017 Stock Option for providing stock-based compensation to directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company and no further options will be granted under the 2017 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up 27,312,368 shares of the Company. In addition, any common shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Stock Option Plan that are forfeited as a result of the expiration or termination of any awards under that plan after the date of adoption of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan will be added to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. As of April 30, 2022, 5,980,000 stock options forfeited under the 2017 Stock Option Plan were added to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (October 31, 2021 – 1,730,000), resulting in 33,292,368 stock options as the maximum number of common shares available under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (October 31, 2021 – 2,9,042,368). The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan provides for various equity-based and cash-based incentive awards, including incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents and other equity-based or cash-based awards.

F-59

On December 30, 2020, the Company granted 15,650,000 stock options pursuant to its 2017 Stock Option Plan to its directors, officers, employees and consultants at a price of CA$0.13 per share, of which 9,500,000 were exercisable for a period of five years and 6,150,000 were exercisable for a period of two years. However, these options exceeded the maximum allowed under the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan. On June 11, 2021, the Company received shareholders’ approval to amend the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of common shares reserved for issuance under such plan and rectified the grant of these options.

On August 30, 2021, the Company granted 21,700,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.70 per share for a period of five years.

On October 1, 2021, the Company granted 1,450,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to its officer and employee and consultants. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.50 per share for a period of five years.

On December 3, 2021, the Company granted 250,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to an employee. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.58 per share for a period of five years.

On March 7, 2022, the Company granted 500,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to an officer. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.40 per share for a period of five years.

On April 8, 2022, the Company granted 500,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to employees. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.40 per share for a period of five years.

As at April 30, 2022, 9,092,368 common shares remained available for grant under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.

During the six months April 30, 2022, the Company recognized a stock-based compensation totaling $433,829 (2021 – $nil) in relation to the grant of its stock options.

F-60

The weighted average grant date fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended April 30, 2022 was CA$0.37 (2021 – CA$0.09) per option. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of stock options was estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value were as follows:

	2022		2021
Risk free rate of interest		1.34 – 2.59%		0.20% – 1.07%
Expected life of options		5 years		2 to 5 years
Exercise price of options		CA$0.40 – CA$0.58		CA$0.13 – CA$0.70
Expected annualized volatility		134.93% – 136.08%		130.88% – 140.05%
Expected dividend rate		Nil		Nil

[e] Share-based payments and other reserves

The share-based payments and other reserves are used to recognize the fair value of stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants as part of their remuneration, as well as those of broker warrants issued in relation to the Company’s financings. When stock options and broker warrants are subsequently exercised, the fair value of such stock options and broker warrants in additional paid-in capital is credited to share capital.

Common share purchase warrants attached to units as part of a unit placement were assigned a $nil value. The residual method is used to calculate the fair value of the warrant component of units issued, whereby the residual of the private placement proceeds less the fair value of the share component is assigned as the fair value of the warrants.

On November 1, 2021, the Company’s functional currency change resulted in the reclassification of its outstanding warrants and broker warrants denominated in Canadian dollars as a derivative liability. The fair value of outstanding broker warrants was reversed out of additional paid-in capital. On November 1, 2021, the Company’s functional currency change resulted in the reclassification of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture from a hybrid financial instrument to a convertible debt instrument with a beneficial conversion feature. The value of the embedded derivative liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

[f] Obligations to issue shares

As at April 30, 2022, the Company received advance share subscriptions in the amount of $388,701 (October 31, 2021 – $209,827) in respect of the non-brokered private placement closed subsequent to the period.

[g] Dilutive common shares

As at April 30, 2022, potentially dilutive common shares relating to common share purchase warrants and options outstanding totaling 96,006,372 (October 31, 2021 – 120,808,982) were not included in the computation of loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

F-62

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s classification of its financial instruments is as follows:

Financial Instruments	Measurement Method	Associated Risk	Fair Value at April 30, 2022 ($)
Cash	FVTPL	Credit and currency		774,409
Other receivables	Amortized cost	Credit and currency		50,765
Subscription receivable	Amortized cost	Credit and currency		185,000
Deposits held by related parties	Amortized cost	Credit and currency		388,757
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	Amortized cost	Currency		2,715,924
Due to related parties	Amortized cost	Currency		1,253,280
Convertible debenture, net	Amortized cost and FVTPL	Currency		1,783,584
Warrant liability	FVTPL	Currency		2,468,261

[a] Fair value

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. The fair value of current financial instruments except derivative liability approximates their carrying values as long as they are short-term in nature or bear interest at market rates.

F-63

[b] Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments that are held at fair value are categorized based on a valuation hierarchy which is determined by the valuation methodology utilized. The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on the following three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company evaluates its financial instruments and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to market at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instruments that become subject to reclassification are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified on the consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value derivative liabilities. This model uses Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the embedded derivative are disclosed in note 12[e].

[c] Financial risk management

The Company’s board of directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in response to the Company’s activities. Management regularly monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.

In the normal course of operations, the Company is exposed to various risks such interest rate, foreign exchange, commodity, credit, and liquidity. To manage these risks, management determines what activities must be undertaken to minimize potential exposure to risks. The objectives of the Company in managing risks are as follows:

● Maintaining sound financial condition:

● Financing operations; and

● Ensuring liquidity to all operations.

F-64

In order to satisfy these objectives, the Company has adopted the following policies:

● Prepare budget documents at prevailing market rates to ensure clear corporate alignment to performance management and achievement of targets;

● Recognize and observe the extent of operating risk within the business; and

● Identify the magnitude of the impact of market risk factors on the overall risk of the business and take advantage of natural risk reductions that arise from these relationships.

[i] Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash on deposits with banks and, from time to time, on its holdings of short-term investments. As of April 30, 2022, the Company had $774,409 (October 31, 2021 − $462,360) of cash on deposits with banks. The Company had no short-term investment as at April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021. Given the level of cash held by the Company, fluctuations in the market interest rates had no significant impact on its interest income for the six months ended April 30, 2022.

[ii] Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, other receivables, accounts payable, due to related parties and convertible debenture that are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Based on the Company net exposures as at April 30, 2022, assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 5% appreciation or deterioration of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase or decrease of $78,312 in the Company’s net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The Company had the following assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars:

	April 30, 2022
	CA$
Cash		208,683
Other receivables		64,930
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(1,511,845	)
Due to related parties		(765,409	)
Total		(2,003,641	)

[iii] Commodity price risk

The value of the Company’s magnesium production business and its exploration and evaluation assets are dependent on the price of magnesium and the outlook for this mineral. Market prices for these metals historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside the Company’s control, including but not limited to, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand, industrial and retail demand, as well as certain other factors related specifically to magnesium. If magnesium prices decline for a prolonged period below the cost of production, it may not be economically feasible to continue towards production.

F-65

[iv] Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations and arises principally from trade receivables. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and deposits held by related parties. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on cash as these financial instruments are held with major Canadian and international banks. Other receivables consist primarily of GST due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes the credit risk concentration with respect to other receivables is remote. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

[v] Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on its purchasing commitments and obligations and its ability to raise funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring its actual and forecasted working capital requirements to ensure there is capital to meet short-term and long-term obligations.

As of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company had working capital deficiency of $7,172,573 and $9,657,316, respectively. As disclosed in note 1 to these Financial Statements, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors. The Company’s management has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has determined that substantial doubt existed for at least one year from the date of these Financial Statements are issued. The Company has financed its activities and operations through equity issuances and debt financing and expects to continue to do so to the extent such financing is available. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available under terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Liquidity risk has been assessed as high.

15. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company focuses on plant operations and magnesium production and continues to move towards the buildout of its pilot plant facility and the development of a full-scale commercial magnesium production facility. The Company also owns mining claims for the exploration and development of mineral property interests. Geographic information for the Company’s assets is as follows:

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that all of our directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Section 145 of the DGCL concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.

Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.

(a)	A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.
(b)	A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
(c)	To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
(d)	Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

II-1

(e)	Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former officers and directors or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
(f)	The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.
(g)	A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.
(h)	For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(i)	For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.
(j)	The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(k)	The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).

Our certificate of incorporation also permits us to maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

II-2

Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our certificate of incorporation affecting indemnification rights, whether by our board of directors, stockholders or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

The registrant also intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its future directors and executive officers. The registrant has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The registrant believes that this insurance is necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

The following is a summary of transactions by us since November 1, 2018 involving unregistered issuances of our common equity securities. Included are new issues, securities issued in exchange for property, services or other securities, securities issued upon conversion from our other share classes and new securities resulting from the modification of outstanding securities. We issued all of the securities listed below pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder.

Item 17. Undertakings

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act “may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(iii)	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2)	That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

b.	for determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

We are acting as counsel to Western Magnesium Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Amendment No. 1), filed on June 24, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), covering (i) 19,240,256 shares (“Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable by the Company upon the conversion of principal and interest thereon of certain outstanding convertible debentures (“Convertible Debentures”) held by the selling securityholder named in the Registration Statement (“Selling Securityholder”), (ii) 25,240,256 shares (“Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon the exercise of certain warrants (“Warrants”) issuable to the Selling Securityholder upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures and (iii) 1,774,500 shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Securityholder (the “Shares, together with the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, collectively, the “Securities”).

We have examined the originals, or certified, conformed or reproduction copies, of all such records, agreements, instruments and documents as we have deemed relevant or necessary as the basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on originals or certified copies and the conformity to original or certified copies of all copies submitted to us as conformed or reproduction copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to such opinion, we have relied upon, and assumed the accuracy of, certificates and oral or written statements and other information of or from public officials, officers or representatives of the Company, and others.

Based upon the foregoing, and the laws of the State of Delaware, we are of the opinion that:

1.	The Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and, upon (i) the due execution by the Company and registration by its registrar of the Warrant Shares, and (ii) delivery and payment therefor upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with their terms, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable;
2.	The Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and reserved for issuance and, upon issuance and delivery as described in the Convertible Debentures, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and
3.	The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and are duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We express no opinion with regard to the applicability or effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than, as in effect on the date of this letter, (a) the internal laws of the State of Delaware; and (b) the federal laws of the United States.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In so doing, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Western Magnesium Corporation (the “Company”, or “WMC”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on March 24, 1966. On May 14, 2019, the Company discontinued from the jurisdiction of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and domesticated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware under the name “Western Magnesium Corporation”. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada and in the United States, listed for trading in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) under the symbol “WMG.V”, in the United States on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets (the “OTCQB”) under the symbol “MLYF”, and in Germany on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “3WM”. The Company has developed proprietary magnesium production technology with the aim of becoming a premier low-cost producer of green primary magnesium metal.

As at April 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $65,894,907 (October 31, 2021 – $52,129,621) and working capital deficiency of $7,172,573 (October 31, 2021 – $9,657,316). For the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Company reported a comprehensive loss of $13,551,323 (2021 – $2,745,438). The Company has not yet achieved profitable operations and expects to incur further losses from operations. The Company has financed its activities and operations through equity issuances and debt financing and expects to continue to do so to the extent such financing is available. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available under terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Management believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate for these Financial Statements based on its continuing ability to raise financings through share and debt issuances. If future financing is unavailable or if for any reason the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it could impact the Company’s ability to realize its assets at their recognized values and to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business at the amounts stated in these Financial Statements. These Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption is not used, the adjustments required to report the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis could be material to these Financial Statements.

The Company’s management has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has determined that substantial doubt existed as of April 30, 2022. This determination was based on the following factors: (i) the Company used cash of approximately $4.0 million in operations during the six months ended April 30, 2022; (ii) the Company’s available cash as of April 30, 2022 will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for the next 12 months; (iii) the Company will require additional financing for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2022 to continue at its expected level of operations; and (iv) if the Company fails to obtain the needed capital, it will be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of its development activities or perhaps cease operations. In the opinion of management, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of these Financial Statements are issued.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. In order to combat the spread of COVID-19, governments worldwide, including the Unites States and Canada, have enacted emergency measures including travel bans, legally enforced or self-imposed quarantine periods, social distancing and business and organization closures. These measures have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The impact on the Company has not been significant but could affect the Company’s ability to raise financings in the future and restrict travel. Management continues to monitor the situation.

For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Company reported a comprehensive loss of $23,827,678 (2020 – $4,749,411). The Company is considered to be in the development stage. It has not yet achieved profitable operations and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. The Company has financed its activities and operations through equity issuances and debt financing and expects to continue to do so to the extent such instruments are issuable under terms acceptable to the Company and until such time as its operations provide positive cash flows.

These consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

If the going concern assumption is not used, the adjustments required to report the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis could be material to these Financial Statements. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These Financial Statements comprise the financial statements of Western Magnesium Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Western Magnesium Corp., incorporated in Nevada, United States and Western Magnesium Canada Corporation, incorporated in British Columbia, Canada.

[a] Accounting standards

The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due and continue its operations for at least one year from the date these Financial Statements are issued. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

These Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. They do not include all the information required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2021 (the “Fiscal 2021 Financial Statements”).

[b] Functional and presentation currency

These Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars (“US dollars” or “US$”), except where otherwise indicated. The functional currency of each entity of the Company is as follows:

Entity	Functional Currency
Western Magnesium Corporation	United States dollars
Western Magnesium Corp.	United States dollars
Western Magnesium Canada Corporation	Canadian dollars (“CA$”)

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, significant changes in economic facts and circumstances have occurred in Western Magnesium Corporation’s operations which resulted in the change of its functional currency to the United States dollars from the Canadian dollar effective November 1, 2021. For both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities, translated balances at the end of the prior period become the new accounting basis. The rate on the date of change becomes the historical rate at which non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated in subsequent years. There is no effect on the cumulative translation adjustment on the consolidated basis. Previously recorded cumulative translation adjustments are not reversed. Effects of change in functional currency included the reclassifications of convertible debentures and warrants and broker warrants [notes 12[d] and [e]].

The accounts of the Company’s subsidiary Western Magnesium Canada Corporation have been translated to United States dollars with the exchange translation adjustments recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

[c] Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Significant Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of these Financial Statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Estimates and assumptions where there is potential risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financial instruments, discount rates for leases, recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and contingent liabilities.

Significant Judgments

The preparation of these Financial Statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in applying the Company’s Financial Statements include:

- the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to substantial doubt;

- whether there are indicators of impairment of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets and other non-current assets;

- the classification of financial instruments; and

- determination of functional currency.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

12 Months Ended

Oct. 31, 2021

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Financial Statements by the Company and its subsidiaries.

[a] Principles of consolidation

These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries as described in note 2. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

[b] Foreign currency

Items included in the financial statements of each consolidated entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the prevailing exchange rates on the dates of transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of an entity are recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiary with a functional currency in Canadian dollars are translated at the period end rates of exchange, and the results of its operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. Equity transactions have been translated using historical rates in effect on the date that each transaction occurred. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as shareholders’ equity or deficit. Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses related to certain intercompany loans that are permanent in nature are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

[c] Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid financial instruments that are readily convertible into cash with original maturities of three months or less.

[d] Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of an item of PP&E consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of PP&E, less their estimated residual value. The depreciation rates and method applicable to each category of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Class	Rate
Computer equipment	55% declining balance
Furniture	20% declining balance
Plant equipment	20% declining balance
Furnace	To be determined
Leasehold improvement	Term of lease
Right-of-use assets	Term of lease

WESTERN MAGNESIUM CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended October 31, 2021 and 2020
Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

An item of PP&E is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Where an item of PP&E comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of PP&E that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures, are capitalized.

[e] Reclamation deposits

The Company maintains cash deposits, as required by regulatory bodies, as assurance for the funding of decommissioning costs. These funds are restricted to that purpose and are not available to the Company until the reclamation obligations have been fulfilled and are therefore classified as long-term assets.

[f] Research and development

Expenditures on research activities taken to develop a pyro metallurgical process to extract and recover magnesium metal from dolomite are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures are expensed in the period incurred.

[g] Mineral property acquisition and exploration assets

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral property claims.

Costs related to the development of mineral reserves are capitalized when it has been determined an ore body can be economically developed. The development stage begins when an ore body is determined to be economically recoverable based on proven and probable reserves and appropriate permits are in place, and ends when the production stage or exploitation of reserves begins. Major mine development expenditures are capitalized, including primary development costs such as costs of building access ways, tailings impoundment, development of water supply and infrastructure developments.

Exploration costs include those relating to activities carried out (a) in search of previously unidentified mineral deposits, or (b) at undeveloped concessions. Pre-development activities involve costs incurred in the exploration stage that may ultimately benefit production that are expensed due to the lack of evidence of economic development, which is necessary to demonstrate future recoverability of these expenses. Secondary development costs are incurred for preparation of an ore body for production in a specific ore block or work area, providing a relatively short-lived benefit only to the mine area they relate to, and not to the ore body as a whole. All exploration costs have been expensed.

Once production has commenced, capitalized costs will be depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in that period.

The carrying cost of mineral properties is assessed for impairment whenever information or circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. Such evaluations compare estimated future net cash flows with carrying costs and future obligations on an undiscounted basis. If it is determined that the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, a write down to the estimated fair value is charged to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the period. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses if the carrying value can be recovered.

WESTERN MAGNESIUM CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended October 31, 2021 and 2020
Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

Management conducted an impairment test on its mineral properties for recoverability and impairment loss during the years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 and determined that its mineral properties were not impaired.

For significant development projects, interest is capitalized as part of the historical cost of developing and constructing assets in accordance with ASC 835-20. Interest is capitalized until the asset is ready for service. Capitalized interest is determined by multiplying the Company’s weighted-average borrowing cost on general debt by the average amount of qualifying costs incurred. Once an asset subject to interest capitalization is completed and placed in service, the associated capitalized interest is expensed through depletion or impairment.

[h] Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are evaluated at the end of each reporting period by management for indicators that carrying value is impaired and may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present, non-financial assets are tested for impairment as an individual asset, as part of an asset group or at the reporting unit (“RU”) level. An asset group is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows (i.e. both cash inflows and cash outflows) that are largely independent of the net cash flows of other groups of assets. An RU is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment if certain conditions are met. Impairment tests for non-financial assets subject to depreciation or amortization are applied to individual assets if possible. If this is not possible, then these assets are tested for impairment at the asset group level.

An impairment loss is triggered for non-financial assets only if the asset’s, or asset group’s, carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the carrying amount is greater than the undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group). If the carrying amount is not recoverable, then the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) and the fair value of the asset (asset group). An impairment loss for an asset group is allocated pro rata to the non-financial assets in the asset group. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss and are not reversed.

[i] Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes” regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company initially recognizes tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Application requires numerous estimates based on available information. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, and its recognized tax positions and tax benefits may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. As additional information is obtained, there may be a need to periodically adjust the recognized tax positions and tax benefits.

These periodic adjustments may have a material impact on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. When applicable, the Company classifies penalties and interest associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in its consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

[j] Loss per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders (numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. The denominator is calculated by adjusting the shares issued at the beginning of the period by the number of shares bought back during the period, multiplied by a time-weighting factor.

Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of dilutive options and other dilutive potential units. The effects of anti-dilutive options and potential units are ignored in calculating diluted EPS. All options and potential units are considered anti-dilutive when the Company is in a loss position.

[k] Share-based payments

The Company has an equity-settled share purchase stock option plan that is described in note 14. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and are expensed over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specific vesting conditions are satisfied. For awards with graded vesting, the fair value of each tranche is recognized over its respective vesting period.

The fair value of stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically re-measured until the counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the vesting period of the award and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity-based instruments. The cost of the stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable as at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date, unless there is a contractual term for services in which case such compensation would be amortized over the contractual term.

The Company accounts for the granting of stock options to employees using the fair value method whereby all awards to employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of the grant. The fair value of all stock options is expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

Compensation costs for stock-based payments that do not include performance conditions are recognized on a straight-line basis. Compensation cost associated with a share-based award having a performance condition is only recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable. Share-based awards with a performance condition are accrued on an award by award basis.

The share-based compensation fair value is determined using an estimated forfeiture rate. Compensation ultimately recognized is revised in subsequent periods to reflect final grant amounts. For employees and consultants who are working on specific capital projects, the share-based compensation is allocated to projects under development. For the remainder of employees and consultants, the compensation is expensed.

[l] Decommissioning liabilities

The Company records a liability for the reclamation of its exploration and evaluation interests based on the best estimate of costs for site closure and reclamation activities that the Company is legally or constructively required to remediate, and the liability is recognized at the time the environmental disturbance occurs. The resulting costs are capitalized to the corresponding asset. The fair value of the provision for closure and reclamation liabilities is estimated using expected cash flows, based on engineering and environmental reports prepared by third party industry specialists, discounted at a pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The capitalized amount is amortized on the same basis as the related asset. The liability is adjusted for accretion of the discounted obligation and any changes in the amount or timing of the underlying future cash flows. Significant judgments and estimates are involved in forming expectations of the amount and timing of future site closure and reclamation cash flows. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the provision at the reporting date.

[m] Share capital

The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of issuance costs. Shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued at the quoted price on the date the shares are issued.

[n] Financial instruments

The Company’s classification of its financial instruments is as follows:

Asset or Liability	Classification
Cash	Held-for-trading
Amounts receivable	Amortized cost
Accounts payable	Amortized cost
Due to related parties	Amortized cost
Promissory note and convertible debenture	Amortized cost
Derivative liability	Fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”)

The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on the following three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s derivative liability is based on Level 3 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. .

Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluates its financial instruments and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instruments that become subject to reclassification are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value derivative liabilities. This model uses Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Accounting Standards Adopted During the Periods

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Effective November 1, 2021, the Company adopted the new standard. There was no material impact or adjustment to these Financial Statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2020-01”), which is intended to clarify the interactions of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Effective November 1, 2021, the Company adopted the new standard. There was no material impact or adjustment to these Financial Statements.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments and supersedes the respective guidance within ASC 470-20 and ASC 740-10-55-51, which will result in more instruments to be accounted for as a single instrument rather than having their proceeds allocated between liability and equity accounting units. As smaller reporting companies as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its Financial Statements.

New Accounting Standards Adopted During the Year

Fair Value Measurements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which adds the disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Certain alternatives apply. Effective November 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new standard. There was no material impact or adjustment to these Financial Statements.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

There are no new accounting standards not yet adopted by the Company that are expected to have a significant impact on its Financial Statements.

9. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

[a] Contingent liabilities

[i] On September 29, 2020, James Sever filed a Notice of Civil Claim against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Sever Claim”). The Sever Claim alleges that Mr. Sever had an employment and/or other similar contractual relationship with the Company, and that the Company breached such contractual relationship by way of constructive dismissal or similar conduct. The Sever Claim seeks damages in excess of $2.5 million, certain equity compensation, prejudgment garnishment, costs, interest and other non-monetary relief. On July 27, 2021, the Company filed a response to the Sever Claim. On April 5, 2022, the Company filed an amended response to the Sever Claim, which included the following pleadings: (a) British Columbia is an inappropriate and inconvenient forum for the Sever Claim; (b) to the extent that British Columbia is the appropriate forum for the Sever Claim, nonetheless: (i) the Sever Claim is barred in whole or in part by applicable doctrines of delay / statute of limitations, (ii) the Company did not constructively dismiss Mr. Sever and, instead, it was Mr. Sever that abandoned, quit or resigned from his obligations to the Company, (iii) the Company has no debts, liabilities or obligations to Mr. Sever. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the Sever Claim, and believes that the Sever Claim is without merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of the Sever Claim, no provision has been recognized as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

[ii] On December 31, 2020, GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (“GEM”) served the Company with a Notice of Intention to Arbitrate (the “New York Arbitration Notice”) before the American Arbitration Association in New York (the “GEM New York Arbitration”). The New York Arbitration Notice alleges the Company breached a Share Subscription Agreement dated November 15, 2019 entered into between the Company and GEM (the “GEM Agreement”), among other things, claiming damages of approximately $3.4 million (CA$4.2 million). On January 19, 2021, the Company filed a petition in the New York Supreme Court to stay the GEM New York Arbitration claiming the GEM Agreement was not valid. On March 19, 2021, the Court in the New York State Action ruled that there was an arbitration clause in the GEM Agreement but it was up to the arbitrator to determine if the arbitration clause was valid. Following this ruling, the New York State Action was closed. In June 2021, GEM filed a Statement of Claim in the GEM New York Arbitration, and the Company filed a Statement of Answer denying the existence of any binding agreement between the Company and GEM, among other defenses. In January 2022, the Company filed a Modified Statement of Defense and Counterclaims. On April 8, 2022, the parties agreed to consolidate this arbitration with the GEM Montreal Arbitration. The parties then filed consolidated pleadings, and both matters will be decided via arbitration in Montreal. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the GEM New York Arbitration and believes the allegations lack merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration proceeding, no provision has been recognized in respect to the GEM New York Arbitration as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

[iii] On February 8, 2021, GEM instituted another arbitration against the Company before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in Montreal Canada (the “GEM Montreal Arbitration”) and joined GEM’s affiliate, GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (“GEM Global Yield” together with GEM, the “GEM Parties”). The Statement of Claim filed by the GEM Parties alleges the Company breached a Share Subscription Agreement dated November 15, 2019 and promissory note, among other things, claiming damages of approximately $3.9 million (CA$4.9 million), in addition to costs and expenses, stemming from the Company’s alleged failure to issue to GEM Global Yield warrants to purchase up to 33 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company filed a Statement of Defense denying the existence of any binding agreement between the Company and GEM, among other defenses. In January 2022, the Company filed an Amended Statement of Defense and Cross-claim. On April 8, 2022, the parties agreed to consolidate this arbitration with the GEM New York Arbitration.  The parties then filed consolidated pleadings, and both matters will be decided via arbitration in Montreal. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the GEM Montreal Arbitration and believes the allegations lack merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration proceeding, no provision has been recognized in respect to the GEM Montreal Arbitration as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

[iv] On April 19, 2021, Lampert Advisors, LLC (“Lampert”) filed a Verified Complaint against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Western Magnesium Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Western Magnesium – Nevada”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “Lampert Lawsuit”). The complaint filed in the Lampert Lawsuit alleges that Lampert entered into an agreement with Western Magnesium – Nevada to provide various financial advisory services including acquisition advisory services and act as an exclusive placement agent for a combination of debt and equity securities (the “Lampert Agreement”), that it performed all services required under that agreement and that it is owed $367,227 plus interest at the rate of 9% from February 3, 2021 and that it has a right of first refusal to act as financial advisor in connection with any debt, equity or debt restructuring assignments on terms, conditions and compensation customary for Lampert for a transaction of the type contemplated. Although Lampert claims to have personally served Western Magnesium – Nevada, the Company never received the Summons and Complaint and therefore, never submitted a response. On September 9, 2021, Lampert filed a Motion seeking the entry of a default judgment (the “Motion”). The Company opposed the Motion and filed a cross-motion to compel Lampert to accept the Company’s answer. The Court granted the Company’s cross-motion and denied Lampert’s Motion as moot. On March 4, 2022, the Company filed a Verified Amended Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims. The counterclaims seek at least $120,000 in damages from Lampert. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the Lampert Lawsuit and prosecute its counterclaims, and the Company believes that the claims asserted by Lampert are without merit. As the Company cannot predict the outcome of the Lampert Lawsuit, no provision has been recognized as there is no present obligation and the probability of an outcome cannot be determined.

[d] Stock options

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan, effective on August 8, 2017 and as amended on August 8, 2018, under the rules of the TSX-V pursuant to which it is authorized to grant stock options to executive officers, directors, employees and consultants, enabling them to acquire up to 20% of the total shares outstanding of the Company (the “2017 Stock Option Plan”). Under the 2017 Stock Option Plan, the option exercise price of any option granted shall not be less than the discounted market price of the Company’s common shares. For the purposes of the 2017 Stock Option Plan, the discounted market price is calculated in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V at the time of the grant of the options. Stock options granted are subject to a maximum term of 5 years. All options granted shall vest immediately, except for those options granted to persons performing investor relations activities for the Company. Pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V, shares issued upon the exercise of options are restricted from trading during the 4-month period subsequent to the exercise of options.

On June 11, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan which replaces the 2017 Stock Option for providing stock-based compensation to directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company and no further options will be granted under the 2017 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up 27,312,368 shares of the Company. In addition, any common shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Stock Option Plan that are forfeited as a result of the expiration or termination of any awards under that plan after the date of adoption of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan will be added to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. As of April 30, 2022, 5,980,000 stock options forfeited under the 2017 Stock Option Plan were added to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (October 31, 2021 – 1,730,000), resulting in 33,292,368 stock options as the maximum number of common shares available under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (October 31, 2021 – 2,9,042,368). The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan provides for various equity-based and cash-based incentive awards, including incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents and other equity-based or cash-based awards.

On December 30, 2020, the Company granted 15,650,000 stock options pursuant to its 2017 Stock Option Plan to its directors, officers, employees and consultants at a price of CA$0.13 per share, of which 9,500,000 were exercisable for a period of five years and 6,150,000 were exercisable for a period of two years. However, these options exceeded the maximum allowed under the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan. On June 11, 2021, the Company received shareholders’ approval to amend the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of common shares reserved for issuance under such plan and rectified the grant of these options.

On August 30, 2021, the Company granted 21,700,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.70 per share for a period of five years.

On October 1, 2021, the Company granted 1,450,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to its officer and employee and consultants. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.50 per share for a period of five years.

On December 3, 2021, the Company granted 250,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to an employee. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.58 per share for a period of five years.

On March 7, 2022, the Company granted 500,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to an officer. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.40 per share for a period of five years.

On April 8, 2022, the Company granted 500,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to employees. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.40 per share for a period of five years.

As at April 30, 2022, 9,092,368 common shares remained available for grant under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.

During the six months April 30, 2022, the Company recognized a stock-based compensation totaling $433,829 (2021 – $nil) in relation to the grant of its stock options.

The weighted average grant date fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended April 30, 2022 was CA$0.37 (2021 – CA$0.09) per option. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of stock options was estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value were as follows:

	2022		2021
Risk free rate of interest		1.34 – 2.59%		0.20% – 1.07%
Expected life of options		5 years		2 to 5 years
Exercise price of options		CA$0.40 – CA$0.58		CA$0.13 – CA$0.70
Expected annualized volatility		134.93% – 136.08%		130.88% – 140.05%
Expected dividend rate		Nil		Nil

A summary of the changes in the Company’s stock options during the six months ended April 30, 2022 are as follows:

[e] Share-based payments and other reserves

The share-based payments and other reserves are used to recognize the fair value of stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants as part of their remuneration, as well as those of broker warrants issued in relation to the Company’s financings. When stock options and broker warrants are subsequently exercised, the fair value of such stock options and broker warrants in additional paid-in capital is credited to share capital.

Common share purchase warrants attached to units as part of a unit placement were assigned a $nil value. The residual method is used to calculate the fair value of the warrant component of units issued, whereby the residual of the private placement proceeds less the fair value of the share component is assigned as the fair value of the warrants.

On November 1, 2021, the Company’s functional currency change resulted in the reclassification of its outstanding warrants and broker warrants denominated in Canadian dollars as a derivative liability. The fair value of outstanding broker warrants was reversed out of additional paid-in capital. On November 1, 2021, the Company’s functional currency change resulted in the reclassification of the June 2021 Convertible Debenture from a hybrid financial instrument to a convertible debt instrument with a beneficial conversion feature. The value of the embedded derivative liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

[f] Obligations to issue shares

As at April 30, 2022, the Company received advance share subscriptions in the amount of $388,701 (October 31, 2021 – $209,827) in respect of the non-brokered private placement closed subsequent to the period.

[g] Dilutive common shares

As at April 30, 2022, potentially dilutive common shares relating to common share purchase warrants and options outstanding totaling 96,006,372 (October 31, 2021 – 120,808,982) were not included in the computation of loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

14. SHARE CAPITAL

On June 11, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan which replaces the 2017 Stock Option for providing stock-based compensation to directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company and no further options will be granted under the 2017 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up 27,312,368 shares of the Company. In addition, any common shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Stock Option Plan that are forfeited as a result of the expiration or termination of any awards under that plan after the date of adoption of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan will be added to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. During the year ended October 31, 2021, 1,730,000 stock options forfeited under the 2017 Stock Option Plan were added to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan provides for various equity-based and cash-based incentive awards, including incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents and other equity-based or cash-based awards.

During the year ended October 31, 2020, the Company granted 6,600,000 stock options pursuant to its 2017 Stock Option Plan to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. These options are exercisable at a price ranging from CA$0.11 to CA$0.16 per share for a period of two to five years.

On December 30, 2020, the Company granted 15,650,000 stock options pursuant to its 2017 Stock Option Plan to its directors, officers, employees and consultants at a price of CA$0.13 per share, of which 9,500,000 were exercisable for a period of five years and 6,150,000 were exercisable for a period of two years. However, these options exceeded the maximum allowed under the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan. On June 11, 2021, the Company received shareholders’ approval to amend the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of common shares reserved for issuance under such plan and rectified the grant of these options.

On August 30, 2021, the Company granted 21,700,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.70 per share for a period of five years.

On October 1, 2021, the Company granted 1,450,000 incentive stock options pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to its officer and employee and consultants. These options are exercisable at a price of CA$0.50 per share for a period of five years.

As at October 31, 2021, the maximum number of common shares available under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan was 29,042,368, of which 5,892,368 remained available for grant thereunder.

During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Company recognized a net stock-based compensation totaling $11,051,124 (2020 – $666,259) in relation to the grant of its stock options.

The weighted average grant date fair value of the stock options granted during the year ended October 31, 2021 was CA$0.36 (2020 – CA$0.14) per option. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of stock options was estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value were as follows:

	2021			2020
Risk free rate of interest		0.20% – 1.07	%		0.43% – 1.51	%
Expected life of options		2 to 5 years			5 years
Exercise price of options		CA$0.13 – CA$0.70			CA$0.11 – CA$0.16
Expected annualized volatility		130.88% – 140.05	%		120.13% – 188.46	%
Expected dividend rate		Nil			Nil

The intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended October 31, 2021 was $962,936 (2020 – $28,533).

[e] Share-based payments and other reserves

The share-based payments and other reserves are used to recognize the fair value of stock options granted to executive officers, directors, employees and consultants as part of their remuneration, as well as those of broker warrants issued in relation to the Company’s financings. When stock options and broker warrants are subsequently exercised, the fair value of such stock options and broker warrants in reserves is credited to share capital.

Common share purchase warrants attached to units as part of a unit placement are assigned a $nil value. The residual method is used to calculate the fair value of the warrant component of units issued, whereby the residual of the private placement proceeds less the fair value of the share component is assigned as the fair value of the warrants.

In addition, the Company has allocated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the July 2021 Convertible Debenture capped at the face value of CA$100,000 (USD equivalent $79,542) to equity reserves.

[f] Obligations to issue shares

As at October 31, 2021, the Company received advance share subscriptions in the amount of $209,827 (October 31, 2020 – $596,872) in respect of a non-brokered private placement closed subsequent to the year [note 19[iv]].

[g] Dilutive common shares

For the year ended October 31, 2021, potentially dilutive common shares relating to common share purchase warrants and options outstanding totaling 120,808,982 (2020 – 38,529,642) were not included in the computation of loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company classifies the components of shareholders’ equity as capital, which at October 31, 2021, was a deficiency of $6,770,038 (October 31, 2020 – $2,079,903). When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern and advance stakeholders’ interests. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support its business and technology development. The Company’s board of directors does not establish qualitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company focuses on plant operations and magnesium production and continues to move towards the buildout of its pilot plant facility and the development of a full-scale commercial magnesium production facility. The Company is considered to be in the development stage and is dependent upon external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out its business development activities and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is appropriate. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s classification of its financial instruments is as follows:

Financial Instruments	Measurement Method	Associated Risk	Fair Value at April 30, 2022 ($)
Cash	FVTPL	Credit and currency		774,409
Other receivables	Amortized cost	Credit and currency		50,765
Subscription receivable	Amortized cost	Credit and currency		185,000
Deposits held by related parties	Amortized cost	Credit and currency		388,757
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	Amortized cost	Currency		2,715,924
Due to related parties	Amortized cost	Currency		1,253,280
Convertible debenture, net	Amortized cost and FVTPL	Currency		1,783,584
Warrant liability	FVTPL	Currency		2,468,261

[a] Fair value

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. The fair value of current financial instruments except derivative liability approximates their carrying values as long as they are short-term in nature or bear interest at market rates.

[b] Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments that are held at fair value are categorized based on a valuation hierarchy which is determined by the valuation methodology utilized. The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on the following three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company evaluates its financial instruments and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to market at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instruments that become subject to reclassification are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified on the consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value derivative liabilities. This model uses Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the embedded derivative are disclosed in note 12[e].

[c] Financial risk management

The Company’s board of directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in response to the Company’s activities. Management regularly monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.

In the normal course of operations, the Company is exposed to various risks such interest rate, foreign exchange, commodity, credit, and liquidity. To manage these risks, management determines what activities must be undertaken to minimize potential exposure to risks. The objectives of the Company in managing risks are as follows:

● Maintaining sound financial condition:

● Financing operations; and

● Ensuring liquidity to all operations.

In order to satisfy these objectives, the Company has adopted the following policies:

● Prepare budget documents at prevailing market rates to ensure clear corporate alignment to performance management and achievement of targets;

● Recognize and observe the extent of operating risk within the business; and

● Identify the magnitude of the impact of market risk factors on the overall risk of the business and take advantage of natural risk reductions that arise from these relationships.

[i] Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash on deposits with banks and, from time to time, on its holdings of short-term investments. As of April 30, 2022, the Company had $774,409 (October 31, 2021 − $462,360) of cash on deposits with banks. The Company had no short-term investment as at April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021. Given the level of cash held by the Company, fluctuations in the market interest rates had no significant impact on its interest income for the six months ended April 30, 2022.

[ii] Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, other receivables, accounts payable, due to related parties and convertible debenture that are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Based on the Company net exposures as at April 30, 2022, assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 5% appreciation or deterioration of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase or decrease of $78,312 in the Company’s net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The Company had the following assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars:

	April 30, 2022
	CA$
Cash		208,683
Other receivables		64,930
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(1,511,845	)
Due to related parties		(765,409	)
Total		(2,003,641	)

[iii] Commodity price risk

The value of the Company’s magnesium production business and its exploration and evaluation assets are dependent on the price of magnesium and the outlook for this mineral. Market prices for these metals historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside the Company’s control, including but not limited to, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand, industrial and retail demand, as well as certain other factors related specifically to magnesium. If magnesium prices decline for a prolonged period below the cost of production, it may not be economically feasible to continue towards production.

[iv] Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations and arises principally from trade receivables. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and deposits held by related parties. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on cash as these financial instruments are held with major Canadian and international banks. Other receivables consist primarily of GST due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes the credit risk concentration with respect to other receivables is remote. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

[v] Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on its purchasing commitments and obligations and its ability to raise funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring its actual and forecasted working capital requirements to ensure there is capital to meet short-term and long-term obligations.

As of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company had working capital deficiency of $7,172,573 and $9,657,316, respectively. As disclosed in note 1 to these Financial Statements, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors. The Company’s management has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has determined that substantial doubt existed for at least one year from the date of these Financial Statements are issued. The Company has financed its activities and operations through equity issuances and debt financing and expects to continue to do so to the extent such financing is available. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available under terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Liquidity risk has been assessed as high.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s classification of its financial instruments is as follows:

Financial Instruments	Measurement Method	Associated Risk	Fair Value at October 31, 2021 ($)
Cash	FVTPL	Credit and currency	462,360
Amounts receivable	Amortized cost	Credit and currency	151,485
Deposits held by related parties	Amortized cost	Credit and currency	486,462
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	Amortized cost	Currency	1,989,316
Due to related parties	Amortized cost	Currency	1,026,817
Convertible debenture	Amortized cost	Currency	107
Convertible debenture - derivative liability	FVTPL	Currency	7,449,700

[a] Fair value

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. The fair value of current financial instruments except derivative liability approximates their carrying values as long as they are short-term in nature or bear interest at market rates.

[b] Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments that are held at fair value are categorized based on a valuation hierarchy which is determined by the valuation methodology utilized. The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on the following three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents are valued using a market approach based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market obtained from securities exchanges. As at October 31, 2021, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company was based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the period.

The Company evaluates its financial instruments and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instruments that become subject to reclassification are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value derivative liabilities. This model uses Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the embedded derivative are disclosed in note 13[d].

● Ensuring liquidity to all operations.

In order to satisfy these objectives, the Company has adopted the following policies:

● Prepare budget documents at prevailing market rates to ensure clear corporate alignment to performance management and achievement of targets;

● Recognize and observe the extent of operating risk within the business; and

● Identify the magnitude of the impact of market risk factors on the overall risk of the business and take advantage of natural risk reductions that arise from these relationships.

[i] Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash on deposits with banks and, from time to time, on its holdings of short-term investments. As of October 31, 2021, the Company had $462,360 (October 31, 2020 − $39,571) of cash on deposits with banks. The Company had no short-term investment as at October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020. Given the level of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company, fluctuations in the market interest rates had no significant impact on its interest income during the year ended October 31, 2021.

[ii] Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, deposits held by related parties, accounts payable, due to related parties and convertible debenture that are denominated in US dollars. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Based on the Company net exposures as at October 31, 2021, assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 5% appreciation or deterioration of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase or decrease of $262,941 in the Company’s net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Convertible debenture		(1,500,000	)
Total		(2,067,422	)

[iii] Commodity price risk

The value of the Company’s magnesium production business and its exploration and evaluation assets are dependent on the price of magnesium and the outlook for this mineral. Market prices for these metals historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside the Company’s control, including but not limited to, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand, industrial and retail demand, as well as certain other factors related specifically to magnesium. If magnesium prices decline for a prolonged period below the cost of production, it may not be economically feasible to continue towards production.

[iv] Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations and arises principally from trade receivables. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and deposits held by related parties. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on cash as these financial instruments are held with major Canadian and international banks. Amounts receivable consist primarily of GST due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes the credit risk concentration with respect to amounts receivable is remote. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

[v] Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on its purchasing commitments and obligations and its ability to raise funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring its actual and forecasted working capital requirements to ensure there is capital to meet short-term and long-term obligations. As of October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, the Company had working capital deficiency of $9,657,316 and $2,392,189, respectively. As disclosed in note 1 of these Financial Statements, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors. The Company’s cash is primarily deposited in bank accounts and held as deposits by certain related parties. The Company anticipates that its cash on hand and deposits, together with expected funds raised from private placements and on exercises of common share purchase warrants and stock options, as well as debt financing, will provide sufficient financial resources to carry out its operations through the next twelve months. However, additional funding will be required. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the funds necessary to continue future operations. Liquidity risk has been assessed as high.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Oct. 31, 2021

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of consolidation

[a] Principles of consolidation

These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries as described in note 2. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Foreign currency

[b] Foreign currency

Items included in the financial statements of each consolidated entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the prevailing exchange rates on the dates of transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of an entity are recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiary with a functional currency in Canadian dollars are translated at the period end rates of exchange, and the results of its operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. Equity transactions have been translated using historical rates in effect on the date that each transaction occurred. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as shareholders’ equity or deficit. Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses related to certain intercompany loans that are permanent in nature are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

[c] Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid financial instruments that are readily convertible into cash with original maturities of three months or less.

Property, plant and equipment

[d] Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of an item of PP&E consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of PP&E, less their estimated residual value. The depreciation rates and method applicable to each category of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Class	Rate
Computer equipment	55% declining balance
Furniture	20% declining balance
Plant equipment	20% declining balance
Furnace	To be determined
Leasehold improvement	Term of lease
Right-of-use assets	Term of lease

WESTERN MAGNESIUM CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended October 31, 2021 and 2020
Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

An item of PP&E is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Where an item of PP&E comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of PP&E that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures, are capitalized.

Reclamation deposits

[e] Reclamation deposits

The Company maintains cash deposits, as required by regulatory bodies, as assurance for the funding of decommissioning costs. These funds are restricted to that purpose and are not available to the Company until the reclamation obligations have been fulfilled and are therefore classified as long-term assets.

Research and development

[f] Research and development

Expenditures on research activities taken to develop a pyro metallurgical process to extract and recover magnesium metal from dolomite are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures are expensed in the period incurred.

Mineral property acquisition and exploration assets

[g] Mineral property acquisition and exploration assets

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral property claims.

Costs related to the development of mineral reserves are capitalized when it has been determined an ore body can be economically developed. The development stage begins when an ore body is determined to be economically recoverable based on proven and probable reserves and appropriate permits are in place, and ends when the production stage or exploitation of reserves begins. Major mine development expenditures are capitalized, including primary development costs such as costs of building access ways, tailings impoundment, development of water supply and infrastructure developments.

Exploration costs include those relating to activities carried out (a) in search of previously unidentified mineral deposits, or (b) at undeveloped concessions. Pre-development activities involve costs incurred in the exploration stage that may ultimately benefit production that are expensed due to the lack of evidence of economic development, which is necessary to demonstrate future recoverability of these expenses. Secondary development costs are incurred for preparation of an ore body for production in a specific ore block or work area, providing a relatively short-lived benefit only to the mine area they relate to, and not to the ore body as a whole. All exploration costs have been expensed.

Once production has commenced, capitalized costs will be depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in that period.

The carrying cost of mineral properties is assessed for impairment whenever information or circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. Such evaluations compare estimated future net cash flows with carrying costs and future obligations on an undiscounted basis. If it is determined that the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, a write down to the estimated fair value is charged to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the period. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses if the carrying value can be recovered.

WESTERN MAGNESIUM CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended October 31, 2021 and 2020
Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

Management conducted an impairment test on its mineral properties for recoverability and impairment loss during the years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 and determined that its mineral properties were not impaired.

For significant development projects, interest is capitalized as part of the historical cost of developing and constructing assets in accordance with ASC 835-20. Interest is capitalized until the asset is ready for service. Capitalized interest is determined by multiplying the Company’s weighted-average borrowing cost on general debt by the average amount of qualifying costs incurred. Once an asset subject to interest capitalization is completed and placed in service, the associated capitalized interest is expensed through depletion or impairment.

Impairment of non-financial assets

[h] Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are evaluated at the end of each reporting period by management for indicators that carrying value is impaired and may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present, non-financial assets are tested for impairment as an individual asset, as part of an asset group or at the reporting unit (“RU”) level. An asset group is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows (i.e. both cash inflows and cash outflows) that are largely independent of the net cash flows of other groups of assets. An RU is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment if certain conditions are met. Impairment tests for non-financial assets subject to depreciation or amortization are applied to individual assets if possible. If this is not possible, then these assets are tested for impairment at the asset group level.

An impairment loss is triggered for non-financial assets only if the asset’s, or asset group’s, carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the carrying amount is greater than the undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group). If the carrying amount is not recoverable, then the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) and the fair value of the asset (asset group). An impairment loss for an asset group is allocated pro rata to the non-financial assets in the asset group. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss and are not reversed.

Income taxes

[i] Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes” regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company initially recognizes tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Application requires numerous estimates based on available information. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, and its recognized tax positions and tax benefits may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. As additional information is obtained, there may be a need to periodically adjust the recognized tax positions and tax benefits.

These periodic adjustments may have a material impact on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. When applicable, the Company classifies penalties and interest associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in its consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

WESTERN MAGNESIUM CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended October 31, 2021 and 2020
Expressed in US Dollars, except where otherwise indicated

Loss per share

[j] Loss per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders (numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. The denominator is calculated by adjusting the shares issued at the beginning of the period by the number of shares bought back during the period, multiplied by a time-weighting factor.

Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of dilutive options and other dilutive potential units. The effects of anti-dilutive options and potential units are ignored in calculating diluted EPS. All options and potential units are considered anti-dilutive when the Company is in a loss position.

Share-based payments

[k] Share-based payments

The Company has an equity-settled share purchase stock option plan that is described in note 14. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and are expensed over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specific vesting conditions are satisfied. For awards with graded vesting, the fair value of each tranche is recognized over its respective vesting period.

The fair value of stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically re-measured until the counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the vesting period of the award and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity-based instruments. The cost of the stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable as at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date, unless there is a contractual term for services in which case such compensation would be amortized over the contractual term.

The Company accounts for the granting of stock options to employees using the fair value method whereby all awards to employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of the grant. The fair value of all stock options is expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

Compensation costs for stock-based payments that do not include performance conditions are recognized on a straight-line basis. Compensation cost associated with a share-based award having a performance condition is only recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable. Share-based awards with a performance condition are accrued on an award by award basis.

The share-based compensation fair value is determined using an estimated forfeiture rate. Compensation ultimately recognized is revised in subsequent periods to reflect final grant amounts. For employees and consultants who are working on specific capital projects, the share-based compensation is allocated to projects under development. For the remainder of employees and consultants, the compensation is expensed.

Decommissioning liabilities

[l] Decommissioning liabilities

The Company records a liability for the reclamation of its exploration and evaluation interests based on the best estimate of costs for site closure and reclamation activities that the Company is legally or constructively required to remediate, and the liability is recognized at the time the environmental disturbance occurs. The resulting costs are capitalized to the corresponding asset. The fair value of the provision for closure and reclamation liabilities is estimated using expected cash flows, based on engineering and environmental reports prepared by third party industry specialists, discounted at a pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The capitalized amount is amortized on the same basis as the related asset. The liability is adjusted for accretion of the discounted obligation and any changes in the amount or timing of the underlying future cash flows. Significant judgments and estimates are involved in forming expectations of the amount and timing of future site closure and reclamation cash flows. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the provision at the reporting date.

Share capital

[m] Share capital

The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of issuance costs. Shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued at the quoted price on the date the shares are issued.

Financial instruments

[n] Financial instruments

The Company’s classification of its financial instruments is as follows:

Asset or Liability	Classification
Cash	Held-for-trading
Amounts receivable	Amortized cost
Accounts payable	Amortized cost
Due to related parties	Amortized cost
Promissory note and convertible debenture	Amortized cost
Derivative liability	Fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”)

The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on the following three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s derivative liability is based on Level 3 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. .

Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluates its financial instruments and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instruments that become subject to reclassification are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value derivative liabilities. This model uses Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement.
