Basis of Preparation

 

2.1

Statement of compliance

 

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

 

The Company's significant accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those described in note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 except as described in note 2.3. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements and those of its controlled subsidiaries are presented in Canadian dollars ("$" or "dollars"), and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except where otherwise indicated.

 

The Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine month period ended August 31, 2021 were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on October 15, 2021.

 

2.2

Significant accounting judgments and estimates

 

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

 

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements are consistent with this described in Note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements except as follows:

 

Investment in associate Gold Royalty Corp.

 

In March 2021, the Company's former subsidiary, Gold Royalty Corp. ("GRC") completed its initial public offering (the "IPO"). Inclusive of the partial exercise of an overallotment option, GRC issued 18,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of US$5.00 per Unit and separately issued 721,347 common shares and 1,350,000 warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $117.3 million (US$94.5 million). Each Unit consisted of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Following the completion of the IPO, the Company's ownership in GRC decreased from 87.6% to 48.1%.

GRC's board of directors appoints officers and management of GRC and approves its operating, investing and financing decisions. Prior to the completion of the IPO, significant decisions related to GRC's activities required approval by both GRC and the Company's boards of directors.  Subsequent to the completion of the IPO, the Company continued to have two directors on GRC's board of directors, however, a majority of GRC directors are independent of the Company.  Significant operational, investing and financing decisions by GRC no longer require approval of the Company and there is no investor rights agreement in place allowing the Company specific rights to appoint directors to GRC's board.  With reduced board representation and ownership percentage, and a substantially separate management team in place for GRC, the Company determined that it has significant influence, rather than control, over GRC.  The Company has reported the results of GRC as an associate using the equity method effective March 11, 2021 (Note 3) .

 

On August 23, 2021 GRC completed the acquisition of Ely Gold Royalties Inc. ("Ely Gold") by issuing 30,902,176 GRC common shares and paying $84.0 million in cash. Following GRC's acquisition of Ely Gold, the Company's ownership in GRC decreased from 48.1% to 27.6%. Post ownership dilution, two of the Company's directors remained members of GRC's board of seven directors. As a consequence, the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over GRC continued to exist at August 31, 2021.

 

2.3

Adoption of new accounting standards

 

Business combinations

 

In October 2019, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations ("IFRS 3"). The amendments clarify that while businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an integrated set of activities and assets to qualify as a business. To be considered a business an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Additional guidance is provided that helps to determine whether a substantive process has been acquired. The amendments introduce an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Under the optional concentration test, the acquired set of activities and assets is not a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets. The amendments are applied prospectively to all business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Effective December 1, 2020, the Company prospectively adopted the new IFRS 3 accounting standard which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021.

 

Investments in associates

 

Investments in associates over which the Company exercises significant influence but which it does not control or jointly control are associates. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method, except when classified as held for sale.

 

The equity method involves recording the initial investment at cost and subsequently adjusting the carrying value of the investment for the Company's proportionate share of the profit (loss), other comprehensive income (loss) and any other changes in the associate's or joint venture's net assets, such as further investment. Adjustments are made to align any inconsistencies between the Company's accounting policies and its associate's policies before applying the equity method. Adjustments are also made to account for depreciable assets based on their fair values at the acquisition date of the investment and for any impairment losses recognized by the associate. The equity method requires shares of losses to be recognized only until the carrying amount of an interest in associate is nil. Any further losses are not recognized unless the entity has a legal or constructive obligation in respect of the liabilities associated with those losses.

At each statement of financial position date, the Company considers whether there is objective evidence of impairment of its investments in associates. If there is such evidence, the Company determines the amount of impairment to record, if any, in relation to the associate.

 

Where the Company loses control of an entity and it is reclassified as an associate the Company will remeasure the value of its retained investment at fair market value. A gain or loss will be recognized for the difference between the net amount of the change in interest and the fair value of a retained interest or any consideration received or paid. As of the date of loss of control the Company will cease to consolidate the results of the entity and report its results as an associate using the equity method of accounting.

 

3.

Investment in Associate

 

Following the Company's loss of control of GRC, the Company remeasured the value of its retained investment at fair value and recognized a gain of $118,200,828. The Company initially measured its 20 million share interest in GRC at $5.92 (US$4.72) per share, based on the closing price of GRC common shares on March 11, 2021 (the "IPO Closing Date").

As at August 31, 2021, following the acquisition of Ely Gold by GRC, the Company owned 27.6% of the outstanding GRC shares (20 million shares). As of August 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company's investment in GRC, based on the quoted market price of GRC, was approximately $109.0 million.

 

During the three and nine month periods ended August 31, 2021, the Company recorded a loss on ownership dilution of $3,240,224, which was recorded within share of loss in associate in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The loss on ownership dilution was recognized upon the Company remeasuring its share of GRC's net assets following the acquisition of Ely Gold by GRC.

Deferred Income Tax Expense

 

During the three month period ended August 31, 2021, the Company recognized a deferred income tax recovery of $1,156,081. During the nine month period ended August 31, 2021, the Company recognized a deferred income tax expense of $7,988,478, which was net of $6,780,491 deferred tax benefits related to the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets. These amounts have been recorded during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021 on a discrete basis because a reliable estimate of the annual effective rate cannot be made. The Company has recognized a deferred tax liability associated with the investment in associate less recognized deferred tax assets. The deferred tax liability related to investment in associate has been computed on the assumption the temporary difference will reverse as a capital gain.

 

Lock-up Agreement for GRC common shares

 

In connection with GRC's IPO, the Company entered into a lock-up agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed not to offer for sale, issue, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any GRC common shares for a period of 180 days after March 8, 2021, subject to certain limited exceptions, without the prior written consent of the underwriters of the IPO. As of August 31, 2021, 20,000,000 GRC common shares held by the Company remain subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the lock-up agreement. Subsequent to quarter end, on September 4, 2021 the lock-up period expired.

Sale of Royalty Interests to GRC

 

On November 27, 2020, the Company entered into a royalty purchase agreement with GRC, the Company's former subsidiary, pursuant to which the Company caused certain of its subsidiaries to create and grant to GRC net smelter return ("NSR") royalties ranging from 0.5% to 2.0% on 17 gold and gold-copper properties and to assign and transfer to GRC certain buyback rights held by its subsidiaries under existing royalty agreements with third parties. The purchase consideration was satisfied by the issuance of 15,000,000 common shares of GRC to the Company.

 

The following is a summary of the royalties and other interests GRC acquired from the Company:

 

Royalties

● a 1.0% NSR on the Whistler Project, located in Alaska, USA, including each of the Whistler, Raintree West and Island Mountain properties;

● a 1.0% NSR on the Yellowknife Project, located in the Northwest Territories, Canada, including each of the Nicholas Lake, Ormsby-Bruce, Goodwin Lake, Clan Lake and Big Sky properties;

● a 2.0% NSR on the Titiribi Project, located Colombia;

● a 2.0% NSR on the La Mina Project, located in Colombia;

● a 1.0% NSR on the São Jorge Project, located in Brazil;

● a 1.0% NSR on the Batistão Project, located in Brazil;

● a 0.5% NSR on the Almaden Project, located in Idaho, USA;

● a 1.0% NSR on the Cachoeira Project, located in Brazil;

● a 1.0% NSR on the Crucero Project, located in Peru;

● a 1.0% NSR on the Surubim Project, located in Brazil; and

● a 1.0% NSR on the Yarumalito Project, located in Colombia.

 

Buyback Rights

 

● the right to acquire a 2.0% NSR on the Batistão Project for US$1,000,000;

● the right to acquire a 0.5% NSR on the Surubim area of the Surubim Project for US$1,000,000, which royalty is payable after production at the project has exceeded two million ounces of gold;

● the right to acquire a 1.5% NSR on the Surubim area of the Surubim Project for US$1,000,000;

● the right to acquire a 0.65% NSR on the Rio Novo area of the Surubim Project for US$1,500,000;

● the right to acquire a 0.75% NSR on the Whistler Project (including an area of interest) for US$5,000,000;

● the right to acquire a 1.0% NSR on the Yarumalito Project for $1,000,000;

● the right to acquire a 1.0% NSR on the Goodwin Lake property at the Yellowknife Project for $1,000,000;

● the right to acquire a 1.0% NSR on certain portions of the Big Sky property at the Yellowknife Project for $500,000; and

● the right to acquire a 0.25% NSR on the Narrow Lake property at the Yellowknife Project for $250,000, in cash or common shares of GoldMining at any time until the fifth anniversary of commercial production.

 

As the Company controlled GRC at the time of the initial royalty transfer, the transfer of the royalty interests was a transaction between the Company and its then subsidiary and the effects of these transactions were eliminated on consolidation.

Restricted Share Rights

 

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

 

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

Non-Controlling Interests

 

Following the formation of GRC on June 23, 2020, the Company consolidated the results of GRC. Following the GRC IPO on March 11, 2021, the Company deconsolidated GRC and began to account for GRC as an investment in associate (Note 3). This resulted in the elimination of the non-controlling interest ("NCI") in GRC. The changes to the NCI for the year ended November 30, 2020, and the nine months ended August 31, 2021, are as follows:

 

During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company's then subsidiary, GRC received share subscription receipts of $3,584,717 (US$2,741,250) for the subscription of 1,275,000 common shares. As the Company did not participate in the private placement, the NCI in GRC increased from nil to 5.99%, resulting in the recognition of a dilution gain of $2,380,303 and an NCI in the Company's statements of financial position of $1,204,414 as at November 30, 2020.

 

On December 4, 2020, GRC received share subscription receipts of $137,428 (US$107,500) for the subscription of 50,000 common shares. As the Company did not participate in the private placement, the NCI in GRC increased from 5.99 to 6.21%, resulting in the recognition of a dilution gain of $84,592 during the three months ended February 28, 2021, and an increase of $52,836 to the NCI in the Company's statements of financial position. On December 4, 2020, GRC completed the related private placement of 1,325,000 common shares to third parties for aggregate gross proceeds of 3,722,145 (US$2,848,750).

On March 11, 2021, certain performance conditions were met with respect to 500,000 GRC Restricted Shares (Note 11.3), and the NCI in GRC increased from 6.21% to 8.36%, resulting in the recognition of a dilution loss of $402,112 and an increase of $402,112 to the NCI in the Company's statements of financial position.

 

11.2

GRC Equity Incentive Plan

 

On October 19, 2020, GRC's equity incentive plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") was approved by GRC's board of directors and by the board of directors of GoldMining. The Equity Incentive Plan provides sole and complete authority to GRC's Board to grant share options (the "GRC Share Options"), incentive share options ("ISO"), Restricted Shares and restricted share units ("GRC RSUs") (collectively, the "Awards") of GRC to eligible participants. The maximum number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to the grant of the Awards shall be 2,000,000 common shares in the capital of GRC. The eligible participants of the Equity Incentive Plan ("Participants") are directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of: (a) GRC; or (b) an entity that controls or is controlled by GRC or a Related Entity.

 

GRC's Board may designate Participants eligible to receive GRC Share Options to acquire such numbers of common shares of GRC as GRC's Board may determine, each GRC Option so granted being for a term specified by GRC's Board up to a maximum of 10 years from the date of grant. The GRC Share Options vest in accordance with the vesting schedule during the optionee's continual service with GRC. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for a "net exercise" feature that permits an optionee to elect to exercise a GRC Option or a portion thereof by surrendering such GRC Share Option or a portion thereof in consideration for GRC delivering common shares to the optionee but withholding the minimum number of common shares otherwise deliverable in respect of GRC Share Options that are needed to pay for the exercise price of such GRC Share Options.

 

GRC Share Options may be granted as ISOs only to individuals who are employees of GRC or its Related Entity and GRC Share Options shall not be granted as ISOs to non-employee directors or independent contractors. GRC's Board may designate Participants eligible to receive Restricted Shares and GRC RSUs to acquire such number of common shares of GRC as GRC's Board may determine, in accordance with the restricted periods, including the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and periods, during the recipient's continual service with GRC. The Restricted Shares shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the restriction period.

 

11.3

GRC Restricted Shares

 

On October 19, 2020, as amended on January 10, 2021, GRC issued 1,500,000 restricted shares (the "Restricted Shares") to certain officers and directors of GRC and GoldMining. The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions that, among other things, prohibit the transfer thereof until certain performance conditions are met. In addition, if such performance conditions are not met within applicable periods, the restricted shares will be deemed forfeited and surrendered by the holder thereof to GRC without the requirement of any further consideration. The performance conditions upon completion of an IPO, or other going-public transaction, are as follows:

 

(1)

with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if GRC's IPO or any liquidity event (being any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of GRC or distribution of all or substantially all of GRC's assets among shareholders or a change of control transaction) occurs that values GRC at a minimum of US$50,000,000 (condition met);

 

(2)

with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if GRC receives US$1,000,000 of royalty payments under any of GRC's royalty interests prior to October 19, 2023; and

(3)

with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if the holder continues to be a director, officer or employee of GRC or an entity that is under common control with GRC (a "Related Entity") for a period of one year after the IPO is completed.

 

The fair value of the Restricted Shares was recognized as share-based compensation expense of the Company up to the date of the IPO at which point GRC was deconsolidated. Share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2021, includes $36,742 recognized for GRC Restricted Shares up to the date of loss of control (nine months end August 31, 2020 - $nil). Share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2021, includes $311,901 recognized for GRC Restricted Shares up to the date of loss of control (nine months end August 31, 2020 - $nil).

 

11.4

GRC Share Options

 

GRC adopted a long-term incentive plan (the "LTIP") which provides that GRC’s Board of Directors may, from time to time, in its discretion, grant awards of restricted share units, performance share units, deferred share units and share options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The aggregate number of common shares issuable under the LTIP in respect of awards shall not exceed 10% of the common shares issued and outstanding.

 

On March 7, 2021, the GRC granted 2,505,000 GRC Share Options at an exercise price of US$5.00 per share. The GRC Share Options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and will vest as follows: (a) 25% on the grant date; and (b) 25% on each of the dates that are 6, 12 and 18 months thereafter. The fair value of the share options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.32%, expected life of 3 years, expected dividend yield of 0%, estimated forfeiture rate of 0% and expected volatility of 37%. As there is no trading history of GRC's common shares prior to the date of grant, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility of a group of comparable companies in the sector that GRC operates over a period similar to the expected life of the GRC Share Options. The Company recognized share-based compensation for the GRC options up to the date of the IPO at which point GRC was deconsolidated. During the nine months ended August 31, 2021, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $840,804 for GRC Share Options up to the date of loss of control.

Financial Instruments

 

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

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, short-term credit facility and government loan amounts approximate fair value due to their short terms to settlement. The Company's short-term investment is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of short-term investments is determined by obtaining the quoted market price of the short-term investment and multiplying it by the quantity of shares held by the Company. The determination of the fair value of lease liabilities is based on the discounted cash flow model using incremental borrowing rates ranging from 3.35% to 4.17%.

12.1

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

 

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

 

12.2

Currency Risk

 

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

 

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

 

   

As at August 31,

   

As at November 30,

 
   

2021

   

2020

Assets

               

United States Dollar

    46,754       3,534,664  

Brazilian Real

    49,728       12,085  

Colombian Peso

    58,592       40,162  

Total

    155,074       3,586,911  

 

The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States Dollars and total $764,902.

 

The Company's sensitivity analysis suggests that a consistent 10% change in the foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar exchange rate on the Company's financial instruments based on balances at August 31, 2021 would have an impact of $60,983 on net income for the nine months ended August 31, 2021.

 

12.3

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company's interest-bearing financial asset is cash and guaranteed investment certificates, which bear interest at fixed or variable rates. The Company's interest-bearing financial liabilities are the short-term credit facility and government loan, which bear interest at fixed rates. The Company does not believe it is exposed to material interest rate risk related to these instruments. As such, the Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.

 

12.4

Credit Risk

 

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

 

The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balance by only holding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with large, reputable financial institutions.

12.5

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities.  To manage liquidity risk the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations.  As at August 31, 2021, the Company's working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was $684,966.  The Company's other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, lease liabilities and short-term credit facility are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period.

 

The Company has current cash and cash equivalent balances, restricted cash, ownership of liquid assets at its disposal.  The Company also owns 20 million shares of NYSE listed Gold Royalty Corp. (closing share price as of October 14, 2021 of US$5.48 reflects a value of US$109,600,000), which were subject to a lock-up period until September 4, 2021 (Note 3). GoldMining believes that its cash on hand and the ability to pledge GRC shares as collateral for a margin loan will enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve months commencing from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.
