Notes to the Interim Financial Statements |
(Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
For the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 |
1. |
Nature and continuance of operations |
Rouge Resources Ltd (the Company) was incorporated on March 31, 1988 under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The Companys shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the symbol ROU and quoted on the OTC:BB in the United States.
The Companys registered and records office is located at Suite 203 - 409 Granville St., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1T2.
These interim financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As at July 31, 2014, the Company had not advanced any of its properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day-to-day activities through operations. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration activities; its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom; and its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from directors and companies controlled by directors, and/or private placement of common shares. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on its Statements of Financial Position.

Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation |
These condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issue on September 15, 2015 by the directors of the Company.
Statement of compliance and conversion to International
Financial Reporting Standards
These interim financial statements
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and with interpretations of
the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
Therefore, these financial statements also comply with International Accounting
Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
This interim financial report does not include all of the information required of a full annual financial report and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended January 31, 2015 filed on SEDAR and EDGAR. However, this interim financial report provides selected significant disclosures that are required in the annual financial statements under IFRS.
Basis of preparation
These condensed interim
financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis; are based on
historical costs, modified where applicable; and are presented in Canadian
dollars unless otherwise noted.
Significant estimates and assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company
to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The Companys
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 prospectively in the period in which the estimates are
revised.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements | 6 |
Rouge Resources Ltd. |
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements |
(Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
For the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 |
Estimates and assumptions where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include: the useful lives of equipment, the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financial instruments, recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets, and provisions for restoration and environmental obligations and contingent liabilities.
Significant judgments
The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make
judgments, apart from those involving estimates and assumptions, in applying
accounting policies. The most significant judgments in preparing the Companys
financial statements include:
- | assessment of the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty; and | |
- | classification / allocation of expenditures as exploration and evaluation assets or operating expenses. |
Foreign currency translation, transactions and balances
The functional currency of a Company is measured using the currency
of the primary economic environment in which it operates. These financial
statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the Companys functional
and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions, where applicable, are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss in the period in which they arise, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that gains and losses arising on those non-monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive income. Where the non-monetary gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, the exchange component is also recognized in profit or loss.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures
Costs
incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are
expensed as incurred.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses and costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity. Option payments are considered acquisition costs provided that the Company has the intention of exercising the underlying option.
Property option agreements are exercisable entirely at the option of the optionee. Therefore, option payments (or recoveries) are recorded when payment is made (or received) and are not accrued.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. The Company capitalizes costs to specific blocks of claims or areas of geological interest. Government tax credits received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs incurred and capitalized on the related property.
Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment if facts or circumstances indicate that impairment exists. Examples of such facts and circumstances are as follows:
- | the period for which the Company has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; | |
- | substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; |
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements | 7 |
Rouge Resources Ltd. |
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements |
(Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
For the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 |
- | exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; and | |
- | sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. |
After technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, the Company stops capitalizing expenditures for the applicable block of claims or geological area of interest and tests the asset for impairment. The capitalized balance, net of any impairment recognized, is then reclassified to either tangible or intangible mine development assets according to the nature of the asset.
Development expenditures
Costs arising from
the construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities are
capitalized within mine development assets until the mine achieves commercial
production at which point accumulated costs are transferred to producing mine
assets.
Share-based payments
The Company has a stock
option plan. 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 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. Compensation expense is
recognized and the corresponding amount is recorded in the share option reserve.
The fair value of options is determined using the BlackScholes pricing model.
The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at
the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services
received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on
the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. When the options are
exercised, share capital is credited for the consideration received and the
related share option reserve is decreased.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is
calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. For all
periods presented, the loss attributable to common shareholders equals the
reported loss attributable to owners of the Company. Diluted loss per share is
calculated by the treasury stock method. Under this method, the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted loss per
share 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. Any stock options or share purchase warrants
outstanding cause the calculation of diluted loss per share to be anti-dilutive
and are therefore not included in the calculation.
Financial instruments
The Company
classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: fair value
through profit or loss (FVTPL), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity
investments, available-for-sale and financial liabilities. The classification
depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired.
Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial
recognition.
Fair value through profit or loss investments are either held-for-trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or held on fair value basis with a documented risk management or investment strategy. when designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. They are included in current assets except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets.

Rouge Resources Ltd. |
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements |
(Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
For the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 |
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments with Companys intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those instruments that are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not suitable to be classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss , loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments and are subsequently measured at fair value. These are included in current assets to the extent they are expected to be realized within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary financial assets which are recognized in profit or loss.
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, ie. the date on which the group commits to purchase the asset.
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a significant and prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen.
Transaction costs related to financial instruments include professional, consulting, regulatory, agency commissions and other costs that are incremental to the acquisition, issuance or disposition of financial assets, liabilities or equity instruments. Transaction costs are initially charged to the related financial instrument or equity instrument, except where the financial instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss , in which case transaction costs are expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Loss immediately.
The Company does not have any derivative financial assets and liabilities.
Impairment of assets
The carrying amount of
the Companys non-current assets, which include equipment and exploration and
evaluation assets, is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there
is an indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the
impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of
Comprehensive Loss whenever the carrying amount of the asset, or its
cash-generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the greater of an assets fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash flows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. However, any reversal of impairment cannot increase the carrying value of the asset to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years. An impairment loss with respect to goodwill is never reversed.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
For the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 |
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.
Cash
Cash on hand is with a major bank with a
high credit rating.
Income taxes
Current income
tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current
period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the
countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income
tax is recognized using the asset and liability method on temporary differences
at the reporting date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Flow-through shares
On the issuance of
flow-through shares, any premium received in excess of the closing market price
of the Companys common shares is initially recorded as a liability
(flow-through tax liability). Provided that the Company has renounced the
related expenditures, or that there is a reasonable expectation that it will do
so, the flow-through tax liability is reduced on a pro-rata basis as the
expenditures are incurred. If such expenditures are capitalized, a deferred tax
liability is recognized. To the extent that the Company has suitable
unrecognized deductible temporary differences, an offsetting recovery of
deferred income taxes would be recorded.
Restoration and environmental obligations
The
Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal
obligations associated with the retirement of long-term assets, when those
obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal
operation of the assets. The net present value of future restoration cost
estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation
work is capitalized to the related asset along with a corresponding increase in
the restoration provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax
rate that reflects the time value of money are used to calculate the net present
value.
The Companys estimates of restoration 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 exploration and evaluation assets with corresponding entries to the related asset and the restoration provision. The Companys estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
For the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 |
Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Companys estimates of restoration costs, are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Loss for the period. The net present value of restoration costs arising from subsequent site damage that is incurred on an ongoing basis during production are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Loss in the period incurred. These changes are recorded directly to the related asset with a corresponding entry to the provision. The increase in the restoration provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
The net present value of restoration costs arising from subsequent site damage that is incurred on an ongoing basis during production are charged to the statement of comprehensive loss in the period incurred.
The costs of restoration projects that were included in the provision are recorded against the provision as incurred. The costs to prevent and control environmental impacts at specific properties are capitalized in accordance with the Companys accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets.
At present, the Company has not identified any significant restoration and environmental obligations in its operations. Accordingly, no provision has been made.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical
cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part, if applicable, is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss.
Amortization is calculated on a declining balance method to write-off the cost of the equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life at the rate of 30% per year.
Comparative figures
Certain
comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current periods

Accounting standards issued recently |
New standard IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
This new standard is a partial replacement of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, additional changes relating to financial liabilities, a new general hedge accounting standard which will align hedge accounting more closely with risk management. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.
New standard IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This new standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. New estimates and judgmental thresholds have been introduced, which may affect the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted.

We now hold 100% interest in 9 claims in the Thunder Bay Mining District of North Central Ontario area, called the Dotted Lake Property which includes the 2 Lampson Lake claims acquired under the now completed option agreement dated April 10, 2010 and completion of our claims reduction and reconfiguration plan.
Primarily due to continuing uncertainty in the market conditions of the junior mining exploration sector over the past few years, the Company started a claims reduction and reconfiguration plan on its Dotted Lake Property and adjacent Lampson Lake Property during the year ended January 31, 2015. This plan was substantially completed during the first quarter ended April 30, 2015 designed to focus entirely on claims of merit resulting in certain claims being allowed to lapse, certain claims being partially re-staked, and certain land positions being modified or increased. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $31,500 during year ended January 31, 2015.
Plan implementation included payment of $4,400 during the year ended January 31, 2015 and $7,000 during the quarter ended April 30, 2015 for re-staking.
The 2 Lampson Lake claims are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (NSR) in favour of the optionors on one claim and with respect to the other, a combination of a 2% NSR in favour of the optionors and a 1% NSR on any metals and/or a 1% NSR payable to Ontario Exploration Company (OEC) on any precious metals recovered from the property. The Company has the right to buy back 1% of the NSR in favour of the optionors for $1,000,000 and to buy back three-quarters of 1% of the royalty vested with OEC over 10 years on an increasing scale from $15,000 to $750,000.

Share capital |
Authorized share capital
Unlimited number of
common shares without par value.
Issued share capital
As at July 31, 2015,
there were 44,633,171 issued and fully paid common shares outstanding (January
31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 44,633,171) and all remaining shares have been
released from escrow effective August 28, 2015. No shares were issued during the
six months ended July 31, 2015.
Basic and diluted loss per share
The
calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for six months ended July 31,
2015 was based on the comprehensive loss attributable to common shareholders of
$79,208 (July 31, 2014 - $75,120) and the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding of 44,633,171 (July 31, 2014 - 44,633,171). The diluted loss
per share will not include the effect of any share purchase warrants outstanding
in the future since the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Stock options
The Company has adopted an
incentive stock option plan which provides that the Board of Directors of the
Company may from time to time, in its discretion and in accordance with the
TSX-V requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and technical
consultants to the Company, non-transferable stock options to purchase common
shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance in any
twelve month period will not exceed 10% of the Companys issued and outstanding
common shares. Such options will be exercisable for a period of up to 5 years
from the date of grant at a price not less than the closing price of the
Companys shares on the last trading day before the grant of such options less
any discount, if applicable, but in any event not less than $0.10 per share In
connection with the foregoing, the number of common shares reserved for issuance
to any one optionee insider in any twelve month period will not exceed ten
percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common shares and the number of
common shares reserved for issuance to any one employee or consultant will not
exceed two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding common shares. Options may
be exercised no later than 90 days following cessation of the optionees
position with the Company or 30 days following cessation of an optionee
conducting investor relations activities.
At July 31, 2015, the Company had no issued or outstanding stock options.
Share purchase warrants
At July 31, 2015,
there were no share purchase warrants outstanding.

A valuation allowance has been used to offset the net potential benefit related to the future tax assets arising from these deductible temporary differences due to the uncertainty associated with the ultimate realization of both the non-capital losses and the resource pools before expiry.
These tax pools will be updated during year ended January 31, 2016.

Financial instruments and financial risk management |
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one
party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause
the other party to incur a financial loss. The Companys primary exposure to
credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts and its credit and security
deposit. The Companys cash and credit card deposit are deposited in bank
accounts held with one major bank in Canada so there is a concentration of
credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank with a high credit
rating as determined by rating agencies. The Companys secondary exposure to
risk is on its GST receivable is minimal since it is refundable from the
Canadian Government.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk
that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall
due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine
the funds required to support the Companys normal operating requirements on an
on-going basis. The Company ensures there are sufficient funds to meet
short-term business requirements, taking into account its current cash position
and potential funding sources.

Rouge Resources Ltd. |
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements |
(Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
For the six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 |
Historically, the Company's source of funding has been either the issuance of equity securities for cash through private placements or loans from Company directors and officers. The Companys access to financing is always uncertain and there can be no assurance of continued access to significant funding from these sources.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is
the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the
Companys functional currency. The Company only operates in Canada and is
therefore not exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions
denominated in a foreign currency.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the
risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Companys exposure to
interest rate risk relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash
balances at variable rates. Changes in short term interest rates will not have a
significant effect on the fair value of the Companys cash account.

The capital structure of the Company consists of share and working capital. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year and the Company is not subject to any restrictions on its capital.

Description of business
The Company is a Vancouver-based junior mineral exploration company engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring, evaluating and, if warranted, developing mineral resource properties in Canada. No revenue has been generated since inception and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our exploration and evaluation assets. Further exploration is required before a final evaluation of the economic feasibility can be determined. Significant financing and considerable time and effort will be required before our mineral claims can be further explored and, if warranted, developed into a commercial enterprise.
We now hold a 100% interest in 9 claims in the Thunder Bay Mining District of North Central Ontario, called the Dotted Lake Property, which includes the 2 Lampson Lake claims acquired under the now completed option agreement dated April 30, 2010 and completion of our claims reduction and reconfiguration plan.
We continue to monitor claims in North-Central Ontario and plan to make additional acquisitions in this and other areas when and if the claims are considered to be strategic or otherwise beneficial to the Company.

Six Months Ended July 31, 2015 |
The 2 Lampson Lake claims are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (NSR) in favour of the Optionors on one claim and with respect to the other, a combination of a 2% NSR in favour of the Optionors and a 1% NSR on any metals and/or a 1% Net Sales Return royalty payable to Ontario Exploration Company (OEC) on any precious metals recovered from the property. The Company has the right to buy back 1% of the NSR in favour of the Optioners for $1,000,000 and to buy back three-quarters of 1% of the royalty vested with OEC over 10 years on an increasing scale from $15,000 to $750,000.
Although our work on the Dotted Lake Property in the past few years has identified some gold mineralization hosted in sulphide rich shear bands in granitoid rock, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our exploration and evaluation assets. Accordingly, we continue to consider the Dotted Lake-Lampson Lake Property to be an early stage exploration project upon which further exploration should be conducted in order to gain better understanding of the strike content and width of the gold mineralization uncovered in past exploration programs. Significant additional financing and considerable time and effort will be required before our property can be further explored and, if warranted, developed into a commercial enterprise.
Our NI 43-101 Technical Report from late 2010 recommended Phase 1 budget for future exploration of $226,600 to continue with more soil sampling, prospecting and trenching on the Property followed by Phase 2 budget including diamond drilling depending on results of the first phase. However, due to the challenging economic circumstances still persisting for the Junior Mineral Exploration industry, implementation of this program has been deferred. This will continue until more favorable market conditions return.

Revenue
The Company is a junior mineral exploration company and has not generated any revenues since inception.
Six months ended July 31, 2015
For six months ended July 31, 2015, the Company reported a net loss of $79,208 compared to $75,120 for the same period last year. This $4,088 increase in loss resulted from the following:
- | Minor $49 decrease in amortization of equipment. | |

- | $1,838 increase in interest expense due to the significant increase in related party payables and the related cost of personal borrowings now required to fund these amounts. | |
- | $3,623 decrease in office administration and travel expenses mainly due to lower cost of doing business compared to last year. | |
- | $6,996 increase in professional fees (legal, audit and accounting) primarily due to commencement of quarterly audit fee accrual this year not done last year. | |
- | Minor $724 decrease in transfer agent and filing fees. |

Management Discussion and Analysis |
Six Months Ended July 31, 2015 |
During six months ended July 31, 2015, working capital deficiency increased to $272,523 from $186,449 as at January 31, 2015. This $86,074 increase was due to current operating expenses and payment on certain current liabilities from year ended January 31, 2015.
The current assets as at July 31, 2015 included cash of $3,602 (January 31, 2015 - $271) and GST receivable of $1,021 (January 31, 2015 - $749). The current liabilities as at July 31, 2015 included $55,746 of trade payables, accrued liabilities and loan payable (January 31, 2015 - $66,984), and $221,400 of related party payables (January 31, 2015 - $120,485).
The following table summarizes cash flows for six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 with comparative figures for year ended January 31, 2015:

Cash, beginning | 271 | 96,466 | 96,466 | ||||||
Cash, end | $ | 3,602 | $ | 25,483 | $ | 271 |
At July 31, 2015, the Companys cash position was $3,602 compared to $271 at January 31, 2015. The $3,602 increase in cash for six months ended July 31, 2015 (2015 period) and the ($70,983) decrease in cash for same period last year (2014 period) resulted from the following cash flow activities:
(i) |
Net cash used in operating activities of $90,584 in the 2015 period and $81,781 in the 2014 period was due in both periods to on-going operating losses and relatively small changes in non-cash working capital items. | |
(ii) |
Net cash used in investing activities of $7,000 in the 2015 period and $12,500 in the 2014 period was due to expenditures regarding completion of the claims reduction and reconfiguration plan in the 2015 period and the final scheduled payment on the Lampson Lake option agreement in the 2014 period. | |
(iii) |
Net cash provided by financing activities of $100,915 in the 2015 period and $23,298 in the 2014 period was due exclusively to on-going related party funding of operating expenses and exploration/ evaluation expenditures. |
ITEM 1.7 | CAPITAL RESOURCES |
Share Capital
Authorized share capital
The Companys authorized share capital consisted of an
unlimited number of common shares without par value.

Rouge Resources Ltd. |
Management Discussion and Analysis |
Six Months Ended July 31, 2015 |
Issued share capital
As at July 31, 2015,
there were 44,633,171 issued and fully paid common shares outstanding (January
31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 44,633,171) and all remaining shares have been
released from escrow effective August 28, 2015. No shares were issued during the
six months ended July 31, 2015.
No shares were issued during the six months ended July 31, 2015.
Basic and diluted loss per share
The
calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for six months ended July 31,
2015 was based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders of $79,208
(July 31, 2015 - $75,120) and the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding of 44,633,171 (January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 44,533,171).
Diluted loss per share will not include the effect of any share purchase
warrants outstanding in the future since the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Stock options
The Company has adopted an
incentive stock option plan which provides that the Board of Directors of the
Company may from time to time, in its discretion and in accordance with the
TSX-V requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and technical
consultants to the Company, non-transferable stock options to purchase common
shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance in any
twelve month period will not exceed 10% of the Companys issued and outstanding
common shares. Such options will be exercisable for a period of up to 5 years
from the date of grant at a price not less than the closing price of the
Companys shares on the last trading day before the grant of such options less
any discount, if applicable, but in any event not less than $0.10 per share In
connection with the foregoing, the number of common shares reserved for issuance
to any one optionee insider in any twelve month period will not exceed ten
percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common shares and the number of
common shares reserved for issuance to any one employee or consultant will not
exceed two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding common shares. Options may
be exercised no later than 90 days following cessation of the optionees
position with the Company or 30 days following cessation of an optionee
conducting investor relations activities.
At July 31, 2015, the Company had no issued or outstanding stock options.
Share purchase warrants
At July 31, 2015,
there were no share purchase warrants outstanding.
Capital Management
The Company's policy is to
maintain a sufficient capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor
confidence, safeguard the Companys ability to support its exploration and
evaluation assets and to sustain future development of the business. The capital
structure of the Company consists of share and working capital. There were no
changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year and the
Company is not subject to any restrictions on its capital.
With no operating revenues to date, we continue to finance our operations through the issuance of common shares and advances from related parties. Although two private placements were completed in late August 2012 raising a net amount of $842,794 after share issue costs, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed in the future nor, if available, on commercially reasonable terms. If we are unable to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, either through issuance of more common shares or obtaining additional advances from related parties, we may not be able to meet our obligations as they come due which may impact our ability to continue as a going concern in the future.
To a significant extent, our ability to continue raising capital is affected by trends and uncertainties beyond our control. These include general economic conditions, the market prices for precious metals and results from our exploration programs. The Companys ability to reach its business objectives may be significantly impaired if general economic conditions continue to deteriorate, prices for metals such as zinc, gold, copper and platinum fall or if results from planned exploration programs are unsuccessful.

ITEM 1.12 | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS |
Basis of preparation
These interim financial
statements have been prepared on an accrual basis; are based on historical
costs, modified where applicable; and are presented in Canadian dollars unless
otherwise noted.
Significant estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires
the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The
Companys 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.
9
Rouge Resources Ltd. |
Management Discussion and Analysis |
Six Months Ended July 31, 2015 |
Estimates and assumptions where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include: the useful lives of equipment, the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financial instruments, recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets, and provisions for restoration and environmental obligations and contingent liabilities.
Significant judgments
The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make
judgments, apart from those involving estimates and assumptions, in applying
accounting policies. The most significant judgments in preparing the Companys
financial statements include:
- | Assessment of the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty; and | |
- | Classification / allocation of expenditures as exploration and evaluation assets or operating expenses. |
ITEM 1.13 | CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
There were no changes in accounting policies during the current year. However, new accounting standards issued recently are as follows:
New standard IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
This new standard is a partial replacement of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, additional changes relating to financial liabilities, a new general hedge accounting standard which will align hedge accounting more closely with risk management. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.
New standard IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This new standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. New estimates and judgmental thresholds have been introduced, which may affect the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted.
The Company has not early adopted these revised standards and is currently assessing the impact that these standards will have on its financial statements.
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.

ITEM 1.14. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT |
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling & reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed by the Company is as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one
party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause
the other party to incur a financial loss. The Companys primary exposure to
credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts and its credit card deposit.
The majority of cash is deposited in bank accounts held with one major bank in
Canada so there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using
a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined
by rating agencies. The Companys secondary exposure to risk is on its
harmonized sales tax refundable which is minimal since it is recoverable from
the Canadian Government.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk
that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall
due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine
the funds required to support the Companys normal operating requirements on an
ongoing basis. The Company attempts to ensure there is sufficient access to
funds to meet on-going business requirements, taking into account its current
cash position and potential funding sources.
Historically, the Company's source of funding has been either the issuance of equity securities for cash through private placements or advances from directors and officers. The Companys access to financing is always uncertain and there can be no assurance of continued access to significant funding from these sources.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is
the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the
Companys functional currency. The Company only operates in Canada and is
therefore not exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions
denominated in a foreign currency.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the
risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Companys exposure to
interest rate risk relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash
balances at variable rates. Changes in short term interest rates will not have a
significant effect on the fair value of the Companys cash account.
Commodity Price Risk
The Companys ability to
raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risks
associated with fluctuations in the market price of precious metals. The Company
closely monitors commodity prices to determine the most appropriate course of
action.
Classification of financial
instruments

ITEM 1.15 | OTHER MD&A REQUIREMENTS |
Managements Responsibility for Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation
of the Companys financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such
internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Conflicts of interest
The Companys directors
and officers may serve as directors or officers, or may be associated with,
other reporting companies, or have significant shareholdings in other public
companies. To the extent that such other companies may participate in business
or asset acquisitions, dispositions, or ventures in which the Company may
participate, the directors and officers of the Company may have a conflict of
interest in negotiating and concluding on terms with respect to the transaction.
If a conflict of interest arises, the Company will follow the provisions of the
Business Corporations Act (BC) (Corporations Act) dealing with conflict of
interest. These provisions state that where a director has such a conflict, that
director must, at a meeting of the Companys directors, disclose his or her
interest and refrain from voting on the matter unless otherwise permitted by the
Corporations Act. In accordance with the laws of the Province of British
Columbia, the directors and officers of the Company are required to act
honestly, in good faith, and in the best interest of the Company.
Business and Regulatory Risks
We are engaged
in the mineral exploration business and manage related industry risk directly.
We are potentially at risk for environmental reclamation and fluctuations and
commodity-based market prices associated with resource property interests.
Management is of the opinion that the Company addresses environmental risk and
compliance in accordance with industry standards and specific project
environmental requirements. At present, the Company is not required to provide
for restoration and environmental obligations so no provision has been made.
However, there is no certainty that all environmental risks and contingencies
have been addressed.
Our exploration program will require significant future expenditures and there is no assurance any commercial mineral quantities will be found. If we are unable to generate significant revenues from our mineral claims, continued losses are expected into the foreseeable future. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood we will prove successful, and there is no assurance that we will generate any revenues nor ever achieve profitability. If unsuccessful in addressing these risks, the business will fail and investors could lose all of their investment in the company.

Management Discussion and Analysis |
Six Months Ended July 31, 2015 |
Regulatory risks include the possible delays in getting regulatory approval to the transactions that senior management and the Board of Directors believe to be in the Companys best interest, increased fees for statutory filings, and the introduction of increasingly more complex reporting requirements which must be complied with in order to maintain our public company position.
Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements
This Management Discussion and Analysis may contain certain
forward-looking statements, as defined in the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and within the meaning of Canadian securities
legislation, relating to the proposed use of proceeds. Forward-looking
statements are statements that are not historical facts; they are generally, but
not always, identified by the words expects, plans, anticipates,
believes, intends, estimates, projects, aims, potential, goal,
objective, prospective, and similar expressions, or that events or
conditions will, would, may, can, could or should occur.
Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of
the Companys management on the date the statements are made and they involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. Consequently, there can be no assurances that
such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events
could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Factors that
could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: a
change in the use of proceeds, the volatility of mineral prices, the possibility
that exploration efforts will not yield economically recoverable quantities of
minerals, accidents and other risks associated with mineral exploration and
development operations, the risk that the Company will encounter unanticipated
geological factors, the Companys need for and ability to obtain additional
financing, the possibility that the Company may not be able to secure permitting
and other governmental clearances necessary to carry out the Companys
exploration and development plans, and the other risk factors discussed in
greater detail in the Companys various filings on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) with
Canadian securities regulators and its filings with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on EDGAR (www.sec.gov). Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of
any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
