CANARC RESOURCE CORP.
 
 
Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
(expressed in United States dollars)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND DIRECTORS OF CANARC RESOURCE CORP.
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Canarc Resource Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
 
Change in Accounting Principle
 
As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its accounting policies for financial instruments as of January 1, 2018 due to the adoption of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments.
 
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
 
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company has an accumulated deficit of $46,702,000 as at December 31, 2018. As stated in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, this condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that casts substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated 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 consolidated 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. 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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2008.

1.   
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
 
Canarc Resource Corp. (the “Company”), a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on January 22, 1987, is in the mineral exploration business and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of reserves in its mineral property interests, the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing and receive necessary permitting for the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. The address of the Company’s registered office is #910 – 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 2V6 and its principal place of business is #301 – 700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1G8.
 
The Company has no operating revenues, has incurred a significant net loss of $1.1 million in 2018 (2017 – net loss of $2.0 million and 2016 - net income of $6.8 million) and has a deficit of $46.7 million as at December 31, 2018 (2017 - $46.1 million and 2016 - $44.1 million). In addition, the Company has negative cash flows from operations. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and repayment of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the Company to raise debt or equity financings, and the attainment of profitable operations. Management continues to find opportunities to raise the necessary capital to meet its planned business objectives and continues to seek financing opportunities. There can be no assurance that management’s plans will be successful. These matters indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and such adjustments could be material.

Basis of Presentation
 
(a)       
Statement of compliance:
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
 
(b)   
Approval of consolidated financial statements:
 
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 21, 2019.

2.    
Basis of Presentation (continued)
 
(c)    
Basis of presentation:
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as disclosed in Note 5. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
 
(d)   
Functional currency and presentation currency:
 
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar, and accounts denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar have been translated as follows:
 
• 
Monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate at the consolidated statement of financial position date;
• 
Non-monetary assets and liabilities at the historical exchange rates, unless such items are carried at fair value, in which case they are translated at the date when the fair value was determined;
• 
Shareholders’ equity items at historical exchange rates; and
• 
Revenue and expense items at the rate of exchange in effect on the transaction date.
 
The Company’s presentation currency is the United States dollar. For presentation purposes, all amounts are translated from the Canadian dollar functional currency to the United States dollar presentation currency for each period. Statement of financial position accounts, with the exception of equity, are translated using the exchange rate at the end of each reporting period, transactions on the statement of comprehensive income (loss) are recorded at the average rate of exchange during the period, and equity accounts are translated using historical actual exchange rates.
 
Exchange gains and losses arising from translation to the Company’s presentation currency are recorded as cumulative translation adjustment, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
(e) 
Critical accounting estimates and judgements:
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements along with the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and, as such, estimates and judgements and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
 
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to determining the recoverability of mineral property interests, receivables and long-term investments; valuation of certain marketable securities; the determination of accrued liabilities; accrued site remediation; amount of flow-through obligations; fair value of deferred royalty liability; recognition of deferred income tax liability; the variables used in the determination of the fair value of stock options granted and finder’s fees warrants issued or modified; and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. While management believes the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

2.  
Basis of Presentation (continued)
 
(e)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements: (continued)
 
The Company applies judgment in assessing the functional currency of each entity consolidated in these consolidated financial statements. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is determined using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates.
 
The Company applies judgment in assessing whether material uncertainties exist that would cast substantial doubt as to whether the Company could continue as a going concern.
 
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses each of its mineral resource properties to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Judgment is required in determining whether indicators of impairment exist, including factors such as: the period for which the Company has the right to explore; expected renewals of exploration rights; whether substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of resource properties are budgeted or planned; and results of exploration and evaluation activities on the exploration and evaluation assets.
 
In the acquisition of American Innovative Minerals, LLC (“AIM”) in March 2017, judgement was required to determine if the acquisition represented either a business combination or an asset purchase. More specifically, management concluded that AIM did not represent a business as the assets acquired were not an integrated set of activities with inputs, processes and outputs. Since it was concluded that the acquisition represented the purchase of assets, there was no goodwill recognized on the transactions and acquisition costs were capitalized to the assets purchased rather than expensed. The fair values of the net assets acquired were determined using estimates and judgements. (Note 7).
 
Judgment is applied in determining whether disposal groups or cash generating unit represent a component of the entity, the results of which should be recorded in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows.

New accounting standards and recent pronouncements:
 
The standards listed below include only those which the Company reasonably expects may be applicable to the Company in the current period and at a future date. The impact is not expected to have a material impact on the statements.

2.   
Basis of Presentation (continued)
 
(f) 
New accounting standards and recent pronouncements: (continued)
 
The following standards will become effective in future periods:
 
(i)  
IFRS 16 Leases
 
This new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both the lessee and the lessor. The new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model that requires the recognition of all assets and liabilities arising from a lease.
 
The main features of the new standard are as follows:
 
● 
An entity identifies as a lease a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
● 
A lessee recognizes an asset representing the right to use the leased asset, and a liability for its obligation to make lease payments. Exceptions are permitted for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
● 
A lease asset is initially measured at cost, and is then depreciated similarly to property, plant and equipment. A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments.
● 
A lessee presents interest expense on a lease liability separately from depreciation of a lease asset in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
● 
A lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for them accordingly.
● 
A lessor provides enhanced disclosures about its risk exposure, particularly exposure to residual-value risk.
 
The new standard supersedes the requirements in IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
 
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted for entities that also apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

(ii)    
The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
 
The revised Conceptual Framework, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in March 2018, replaces the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (issued by the IASB in September 2010).
 
The revised Conceptual Framework includes the following:
 
● 
Concepts on measurement, including factors to consider when selecting a measurement basis.
● 
Concepts on presentation and disclosure, including when to classify income and expenses in other comprehensive income.
● 
Guidance on determining the boundary of a reporting entity.
● 
Updated definitions of an asset and a liability.
● 
Updated criteria for recognizing assets and liabilities in financial statements, and guidance on when to remove them.
● 
Clarification on the roles of stewardship, prudence, measurement uncertainty and substance over form.
 
The IASB and the IFRS Interpretations Committee began using the revised Conceptual Framework immediately after it was issued. The effective date for stakeholders who develop an accounting policy based on the Conceptual Framework is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted.
 
(iii)
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015–2017 Cycle
 
The following standards have been revised to incorporate amendments:
 
● 
IFRS 3 Business Combinations – The amendments clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it applies the requirements for a business combination achieved in stages, including remeasuring previously held interests in that business.
● 
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements – The amendments clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, it does not remeasure previously held interests in that business.
● 
IAS 12 Income Taxes – The amendments clarify that an entity recognizes income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity, depending on where the entity recognized the originating transaction or event that generated the distributable profits giving rise to the dividend.
 
IAS 23 Borrowing Costs – The amendments clarify that an entity treats as general borrowings any borrowings made specifically to obtain a qualifying asset that remain outstanding when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.
 
The standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

(iv)     
Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments)
 
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments has been revised to incorporate amendments issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in October 2017. The amendments clarify that a financial asset that would otherwise have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest but do not meet that condition only as a result of a prepayment feature with negative compensation, may be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income when eligibility conditions are met.
 
The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
 
(v)  
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
 
This new Interpretation, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in June 2017, clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.
 
The main features of IFRIC 23 are as follows:
 
● 
An entity considers an uncertain tax treatment separately or together with other uncertain tax treatments depending on which approach better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.
● 
Taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates are determined based on whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment.
 
An entity reassesses judgments or estimates relating to uncertain tax treatments when facts and circumstances change.
 
The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

3.   
Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
 
(a)   
Basis of consolidation:
 
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including New Polaris Gold Mines Ltd. and AIM. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
 
Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
 
(b)
Financial instruments:
 
The Company has adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) as of January 1, 2018. IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 utilizes a revised model for the classification and measurement of financial instrument and a single, forward-looking “expected loss” impairment model. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward in IFRS 9, with the exception that for financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the change in fair value that is attributable to changes in credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive (loss) income instead of in statement of operations as previously applied.
 
The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows under IFRS 9 compared to the Company’s previous accounting policy under IAS 39:
 
 
 
 
IAS 39
IFRS 9
Financial Assets
 
 
Cash
Fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL")
FVTPL
Marketable securities

Receivables
Loans and receivable at amortized cost

Financial Liability
 
 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Other financial liabilities under amortized cost

3.   
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
(b)
Financial instruments: (continued)
 
(i) 
Financial assets:
 
Initial recognition and measurement
 
A financial asset is measured initially at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets the conditions that: (i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; (ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and (iii) is not designated as fair value through profit or loss.
 
Subsequent measurement
 
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
 
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss are carried in the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value therein, recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
 
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
 
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method and net of any impairment allowance, if:
 
 
the asset is held within a business whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
 
 
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.
 
(ii) 
Derecognition:
 
A financial asset or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets is derecognized when:
 
 
the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
 
 
the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either: (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

3.    
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
(b) 
Financial instruments: (continued)
 
(iii)  
Financial liabilities:
 
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or when it expires. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortized cost. All interest-related charges are reported in profit or loss within interest expense, if applicable.
 
(iv)  
Fair value hierarchy
 
The Company categorizes financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate fair values. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities in Level 2 are valued using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data.
 
(c)  
Impairment of non-financial assets:
 
The carrying amounts of non-current assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If there are indicators of impairment, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount and is recorded as an expense in profit or loss.

(tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts)
 
3.  
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
(c)     
Impairment of non-financial assets: (continued)
 
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s “fair value less costs to sell” for the asset's highest and best use, and “value-in-use”. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs is determined. “Fair value less costs to sell” is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date less incremental costs directly attributable to disposal of the asset, excluding financing costs and income tax expenses. For mining assets this would generally be determined based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows arising from the continued development, use or eventual disposal of the asset. In assessing these cash flows and discounting them to the present value, assumptions used are those that an independent market participant would consider appropriate. In assessing “value-in-use”, the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the assets in their present form and from their disposal are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset.
 
For the purposes of impairment testing, mineral property interests are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration or development activity relates. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
 
(d)   
Mineral property interests:
 
All costs related to investments in mineral property interests are capitalized on a property-by-property basis. Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries. The costs related to a mineral property from which there is production, together with the costs of mining equipment, will be amortized using the unit-of-production method. When there is little prospect of further work on a property being carried out by the Company or its partners or when a property is abandoned or when the capitalized costs are not considered to be economically recoverable, the related property costs are written down to the amount recoverable.
 
From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property interest pursuant to the terms of a property option agreement. As the property options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Property option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. Proceeds received on the sale or property option of the Company’s property interest is recorded as a reduction of the mineral property cost. The Company recognizes in income those costs that are recovered on mineral property interests when amounts received or receivable are in excess of the carrying amount.
 
The amounts shown for mineral property interests represent costs incurred to date and include advance net smelter return (“NSR”) royalties, less recoveries and write-downs, and are not intended to reflect present or future values.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
(e)
Equipment:
 
Leasehold improvements and office equipment and furnishings are recorded at cost, and are amortized on a double declining basis as follows:
 
 
Double Declining Rate
Leasehold improvements
20%
Office equipment
30%
Office furnishings
20%
 
(f)   
Proceeds on unit offerings:
 
Proceeds received on the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants, are first allocated to the fair value of the common shares with any residual value then allocated to warrants. Consideration received on the exercise of warrants is recorded as share capital and any related reserve for share-based payments is transferred to share capital. Upon expiry of the warrants, the recorded fair value of the warrants is transferred from the reserve for share-based payments to deficit.
 
(g)   
Non-monetary transactions:
 
Common shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued at their quoted market price at the date of issuance.
 
(h)    
Flow-through common shares:
 
The Company will from time to time, issue flow-through common shares to finance a portion of its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. On issuance, the Company bifurcates the flow-through shares into: (i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability and (ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability and recognizes a deferred tax liability for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders. The premium is recognized as other income and the related deferred tax is recognized as a tax provision.
 
Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two-year period. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expended at the end of the Company’s period is disclosed separately as flow-through share proceeds.
 
The Company may also be subject to a Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds renounced under the Look-back Rule, in accordance with the Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a finance expense until paid.

3.   
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
(i)    
Share buy-back:
 
The Company has implemented a normal course issuer bid whereby the Company would buy back its common shares on the exchange in which its shares are listed at the prevailing market prices. Shares which are purchased would reduce share capital for the cash consideration paid including any associated transaction costs. Common shares which are purchased under the normal course issuer bid are returned to treasury and cancelled.
 
(j)
Share-based payments:
 
The Company has a stock option plan that is described in Note 12(c). Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The offset to the recorded cost is to the reserve for share-based payments. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related reserve for share-based payments is transferred to share capital. Upon expiry, the recorded fair value is transferred from reserve for share-based payments to deficit.
 
The Company has a share appreciation rights plan, which provides stock option holders the right to receive the number of common shares that are equal in value to the intrinsic value of the stock options at the date of exercise. Amounts transferred from the reserve for share-based payment to share capital are based on the ratio of shares actually issued to the number of stock options originally granted. The remainder is transferred to deficit.
 
(k) 
Environmental rehabilitation:
 
The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of mineral property interests and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future rehabilitation cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized to mining assets along with a corresponding increase in the rehabilitation provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The rehabilitation asset is depreciated on the same basis as mining assets.
 
 
The Company’s estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to mining assets with a corresponding entry to the rehabilitation provision. The Company’s estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates.
 
 
Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Company’s estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to profit or loss for the period.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
(k) 
Environmental rehabilitation: (continued)
 
The net present value of restoration costs arising from subsequent site damage that is incurred on an ongoing basis during production are charged to profit or loss in the period incurred.
 
The costs of rehabilitation projects that were included in the rehabilitation provision are recorded against the provision as incurred. The cost of ongoing current programs to prevent and control pollution is charged against profit or loss as incurred.
 
(l)    
Earnings (loss) per share:
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per common share amounts. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of the diluted per common share amount assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. In the Company’s case, diluted loss per share presented is the same as basic loss per share as the effect of outstanding options and warrants in the loss per common share calculation would be anti-dilutive.
 
(m) 
Provisions:
 
Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
 
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

Income taxes:
 
The Company follows the asset and liability method for accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in profit or loss in the period that includes the substantive enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that recovery is considered probable.

4. 
Management of Capital
 
The Company is an exploration stage company and this involves a high degree of risk. The Company has not determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves of ore and currently has not earned any revenues from its mineral property interests and, therefore, does not generate cash flows from operations. The Company’s primary source of funds comes from the issuance of share capital and proceeds from debt. The Company has generated cash inflows from the disposition of marketable securities. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
 
The Company defines its capital as debt and share capital. Capital requirements are driven by the Company’s exploration activities on its mineral property interests. To effectively manage the Company’s capital requirements, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet its strategic goals. The Company monitors actual expenses to budget on all exploration projects and overhead to manage costs, commitments and exploration activities.
 
The Company has in the past invested its capital in liquid investments to obtain adequate returns. The investment decision is based on cash management to ensure working capital is available to meet the Company’s short-term obligations while maximizing liquidity and returns of unused capital.
 
Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past through the issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will be able to continue this financing in the future. The Company will continue to rely on debt and equity financings to meet its commitments as they become due, to continue exploration work on its mineral property interests, and to meet its administrative overhead costs for the coming periods.
 
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2018.
 
5. 
Management of Financial Risk
 
The Company has classified its cash and marketable securities as financial assets at FVTPL; receivables as financial assets at amortized cost; and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, flow through premium liability and deferred royalty liability as financial liabilities at amortized cost.
 
The Company’s investment in shares of Aztec Metals Corp., a company sharing one common director, (“AzMet”) is classified as FVTPL. There is no separately quoted market value for the Company’s investments in the shares of AzMet which have $Nil book value.
 
The fair values of the Company’s receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short terms to maturity. Cash and certain marketable securities are measured at fair values using Level 1 inputs. Other marketable securities are measured using Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Deferred royalty liability is measured using Level 2 inputs.

5. 
Management of Financial Risk (continued)
 
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk which includes foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed are provided as follows.
 
(a)  
Credit risk:
 
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
 
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality Canadian financial institutions.
 
Management has reviewed the items comprising the accounts receivable balance which may include amounts receivable from certain related parties, and determined that all accounts are collectible; accordingly, there has been no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded.
 
(b)  
Liquidity risk:
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.
 
The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's holdings of cash and its ability to raise equity financings. As at December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital of $2.9 million (2017 – $4.9 million). The Company has sufficient funding to meet its short-term liabilities and administrative overhead costs, and to maintain its mineral property interests in 2019.
 
The following schedule provides the contractual obligations related to the deferred royalty payments (Notes 7(b) and 11(d)) as at December 31, 2018:

5. 
Management of Financial Risk (continued)
 
(c)   
Market risk:
 
The significant market risk exposures to which the Company is exposed are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
 
(i)      
Foreign currency risk:
 
Certain of the Company’s mineral property interests and operations are in Canada. Most of its operating expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars. Fluctuations in the Canadian dollar would affect the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as its functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and fluctuations in the U.S. dollar would impact its cumulative translation adjustment as its consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.
 
The Company is exposed to currency risk for its U.S. dollar equivalent of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars as follows:
 
 
 
 Stated in U.S. Dollars
 
 
 
 (Held in Canadian Dollars)
 
 
 
 2018
 
 
 2017
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cash
 $2,288 
 $4,118 
Marketable securities
  719 
  787 
Receivables
  17 
  100 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
  (215)
  (104)
Flow through premium liability
  - 
  (54)
 
    
    
Net financial assets (liabilities), December 31
 $2,809 
 $4,847 
 
Based upon the above net exposure as at December 31, 2018 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% (2017 - 15%) depreciation or appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could result in a decrease (increase) of approximately $281,000 (2017 - $727,000) in the cumulative translation adjustment in the Company’s shareholders’ equity.
 
The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

5. 
Management of Financial Risk (continued)
 
(c)    
Market risk: (continued)
 
(ii)   
Interest rate risk:
 
In respect of financial assets, the Company's policy is to invest excess cash at floating rates of interest in cash equivalents, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return. Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of cash equivalents. The Company’s investments in guaranteed investment certificates bear a fixed rate and are cashable at any time prior to maturity date. Interest rate risk is not significant to the Company as it has no cash equivalents at period-end.
 
(iii) 
Other price risk:
 
Other price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices.
 
The Company’s other price risk includes equity price risk, whereby investment in marketable securities are held for trading financial assets with fluctuations in quoted market prices recorded at FVTPL. There is no separately quoted market value for the Company’s investments in the shares of certain strategic investments.
 
As certain of the Company’s marketable securities are carried at market value and are directly affected by fluctuations in value of the underlying securities, the Company considers its financial performance and cash flows could be materially affected by such changes in the future value of the Company’s marketable securities. Based upon the net exposure as at December 31, 2018 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a net increase or decrease of 50% (2017 - 60%) in the market prices of the underlying securities would increase or decrease respectively net (loss) income by $360,000 (2017 - $472,000).
 
In February 2017, the Company adopted a normal course issuer bid whereby the Company may acquire up to 10.9 million common shares of the Company, and shall pay the prevailing market price at the time of purchase, and which terminated on February 7, 2018. In June 2018, the normal course issuer bid was again adopted whereby the Company may acquire up to 10.9 million common shares of the Company until June 20, 2019. The cash consideration paid for any such purchases would be subject to fluctuations in the market price of its common shares. (Notes 12(b)(i) and (ii)).

6. 
Promissory Note Receivable
 
Pursuant to an agreement in July 2014, the Company advanced a promissory note loan of $200,000, which bore an interest rate of 12% per annum compounded monthly; both the principal and interest were due and payable on January 15, 2015, and any past due principal and interest bore an interest rate of 14%. In September 2014, the Company advanced further funds of $20,000. In December 2014, the promissory note receivable along with accrued interest was determined to be impaired as collectability was doubtful, and was written off. In 2016, the Company received notice for the distribution of funds from the bankruptcy estate in which funds of $10,000 were received in 2017. On February 12, 2018, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with the debtor in which the loan principal totaling $220,000 will be repaid in full in 2018 as follows:

Acquisition and Disposition of Companies
 
(a) 
Oro Silver Resources Ltd.
 
On May 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Endeavour Silver Corp., a company sharing one common director, (“Endeavour”) which closed on May 27, 2016 pursuant to which the Company sold to Endeavour 100% of the shares of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Oro Silver Resources Ltd. (“Oro Silver”), which indirectly holds a 100% interest in the El Compas project in Zacatecas, Mexico, in consideration for 2,147,239 common shares of Endeavour (the “Sale Transaction”) with a fair value of CAD$3.99 per share on May 27, 2016.
 
As additional consideration, Endeavour assumed the Company’s obligation to deliver an aggregate of 165 troy ounces of gold (or the US Dollar equivalent) to Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. (“Marlin Gold”) in three equal payments of 55 troy ounces which were due in October 2016, 2017 and 2018. The foregoing gold delivery obligation was incurred by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Oro Silver from Marlin Gold.

Acquisition and Disposition of Companies
 
(b) 
American Innovative Minerals, LLC
 
On March 20, 2017, the Company entered into and closed the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with AIM (the “Membership Agreement”) whereby the Company acquired 100% legal and beneficial interests in mineral properties located in Nevada, Idaho and Utah (USA) for a total cash purchase price of $2 million in cash and honouring pre-existing NSRs.
 
Certain of the mineral properties are subject to royalties. For the Fondaway Canyon project, it bears both a 3% NSR and a 2% NSR. The 3% NSR has a buyout provision for an original amount of $600,000 which is subject to advance royalty payments of $35,000 per year by July 15th of each year until a gross total of $600,000 has been paid at which time the NSR is bought out. A balance of $425,000 with a fair value of $183,000 was outstanding upon the closing of the Membership Agreement and a remaining balance of $355,000 remains payable as at December 31, 2018 (2017 - $390,000). The 2% NSR has a buyout provision of either $2 million in cash or 19.99% interest of a public entity which owns AIM if AIM were to close an initial public offering of at least $5 million.
 
The Membership Agreement was considered to be outside the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations since AIM did not meet the definition of a business, and as such, the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
 
The following table sets forth an allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values at the date of acquisition in March 2017:

Mineral Property Interests (continued)
 
(a)   
Canada:
 
(i) 
New Polaris (British Columbia):
 
The New Polaris property, which is located in the Atlin Mining Division, British Columbia, is 100% owned by the Company subject to a 15% net profit interest which may be reduced to a 10% net profit interest within one year of commercial production by issuing 150,000 common shares to Rembrandt Gold Mines Ltd. Acquisition costs at December 31, 2018 include a reclamation bond for $184,000 (2017 - $200,000).
 
(ii) 
Windfall Hills (British Columbia):
 
In April 2013, the Company entered into a property purchase agreement with Atna Resources Ltd. (“Atna”) whereby the Company acquired a 100% undivided interest in the Uduk Lake properties by the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares at a fair value of CAD$0.10 per share, honouring a pre-existing 1.5% NSR production royalty that can be purchased for CAD$1 million, and granting Atna a 3% NSR production royalty.
 
In April 2013, the Company entered into a property purchase agreement whereby the Company acquired a 100% undivided interest in the Dunn properties by the issuance of 500,000 common shares at a fair value of CAD$0.10 per share and granting the vendor a 2% NSR royalty which can be reduced to 1% NSR royalty for $500,000.
 
(iii) 
FG Gold (British Columbia):
 
On August 24, 2016, the Company entered into a property option agreement with Eureka Resources, Inc., (“Eureka”) which closed on October 12, 2016. In consideration for the grant of the property option agreement, the Company issued 250,000 common shares at a value of CAD$0.10 per share to Eureka, and subscribed to Eureka’s private placement for 750,000 units at a price of CAD$0.14 per unit for a total of CAD$105,000; each unit was comprised of one common share of Eureka and one-half of one common share purchase warrant with an exercise price of CAD$0.20 and expiry date of September 9, 2018. The Company can earn up to a 75% interest in the FG gold property in two stages.
 
In the first stage, the Company can earn an initial 51% interest over three years by:
incurring CAD$1.5 million in exploration expenditures with an annual minimum of CAD$500,000;
issuing 750,000 common shares in three annual tranches of 250,000 shares; and
paying 50% of the annual BC mineral exploration tax credits (“BC METC”) claimed by the Company to Eureka to an aggregate maximum exploration expenditure of CAD$1.5 million.

Canada: (continued)
 
(iii)  
FG Gold (British Columbia): (continued)
 
In the second stage, the Company can earn an additional 24% interest for a total interest of 75% over the following two years by:

paying the greater of: (i) CAD$75,000 and (ii) 50% of the annual BC METC claimed by the Company to Eureka to an aggregate maximum exploration expenditure of CAD$1.5 million.
 
If the Company failed to satisfy the consideration necessary to exercise the second stage, then a joint venture would be deemed to have formed with the Company having a 51% interest and Eureka with a 49% interest.

Mineral Property Interests (continued)
 
(e)    
Title to mineral property interests:
 
The Company has diligently investigated rights of ownership of all of its mineral property interests/concessions and, to the best of its knowledge, all agreements relating to such ownership rights are in good standing. However, all properties and concessions may be subject to prior claims, agreements or transfers, and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.
 
(f)   
Realization of assets:
 
The Company’s investment in and expenditures on its mineral property interests comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent on establishing legal ownership of the mineral properties, on the attainment of successful commercial production or from the proceeds of their disposal. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
 
(g)    
Environmental:
 
Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation of the Company’s operation may cause additional expenses and restrictions.
 
If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.
 
The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous materials and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its current properties and former properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former mineral property interests that may result in material liability to the Company.
