Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
 
 
 
1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
 
 
Amarc Resources Ltd. (“Amarc” or the “Company”) is a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“BC”). Its principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company’s mineral property interests are located in BC. The address of the Company’s corporate office is 14th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6E 4H1.
 
The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. The Company’s continuing operations are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to continue the exploration and development of its mineral property interests and to obtain the permits necessary to mine, and the future profitable production from its mineral property interest or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests.
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended June 30, 2021 (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $682,976, a working capital of $376,540, and an accumulated deficit of $69,567,273.
 
The Company will need to seek additional financing to meet its exploration and development objectives. The Company has a reasonable expectation that additional funds will be available when necessary to meet ongoing exploration and development costs. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to obtain additional financial resources or will achieve profitability or positive cash flows. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, the Company will be required to re-evaluate its planned expenditures until additional funding can be raised through financing activities. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
These Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The current outbreak of COVID-19, and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens, could have a material adverse effect on global and local economic and business conditions, which may adversely impact Amarc’s business and results of operations and the operations of contractors and service providers. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning its severity and the actions takento contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. The adverse effects on the economy, the stock market and Amarc’s share price could adversely impact its ability to raise capital, with the result that ourability to pursue development of the JOY, IKE and DUKE Districts could be adversely impacted, both

through delays and through increased costs. Any of these developments, and others, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations and could delay its plans for development of its districts.
 
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are described below. These policies have been consistently applied for all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
 
(a)
Statement of compliance
 
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the interpretations by the IFRS Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”). These Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for complete financial statements for year-end reporting purposes. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021. Results for the reporting period ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of future results. The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Company in these Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its more recent annual financial statements, which are filed under the Company’s provide on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
 
The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors authorized these Financial Statements for
 
issuance on August 27, 2021.
 
(b)
Basis of presentation and consolidation
 
These Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, which are reported at fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
These Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1130346 B.C. Ltd. (the “Subco”), incorporated under the laws of BC. The Subco was incorporated for the purposes of entering into an option agreement related to the JOY District. As at June 30, 2020, the Subco did not have any assets, liabilities, income or expenses. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in full on consolidation. On March 30, 2021, the Subco was dissolved.
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.

(c)
Adoption of IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”)
 
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, replacing IAS 17 - Leases. IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model and requires the lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases on its statement of financial position, providing the reader with greater transparency of an entity’s lease obligations.
 
The Company elected to use the modified retrospective transition approach, which provides lessees a method for recording existing leases at adoption with no restatement of prior period financial information. Under this approach, a lease liability was recognized at January 1, 2019 in respect of leases previously classified as operating leases, measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at transition. The associated right-of-use assets were measured at amounts equal to the respective lease liabilities, subject to certain adjustments allowed under IFRS 16.
 
All leases are accounted for by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:
 
Leases of low value assets; and
 
Leases with a duration of twelve months or less.
 
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the leaseis used. Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they dependon an index or rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate.
 
On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes:
 
Amounts expected to be payable under any residual value guarantee;
 
The exercise price of any purchase option granted if it is reasonable certain to assess that option;
 
Any penalties payable for terminating the lease, if the term of the lease has been estimated on the basis of termination option being exercised.
 
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:
 
Lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease;
 
Initial direct costs incurred; and
 
The amount of any provision recognized where the Company is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset.
 
 
Lease liabilities, on initial measurement, increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made.
 
Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if this is judged to be shorter than the lease term.

AMARC RESOURCES LTD.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
 
 
When the Company revises its estimate of the term of any lease, it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted at the same discount rate that applied on lease commencement. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised. In both cases, an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value.
 
As of the initial adoption date of January 1, 2019, the Company does not have any leases that are required to be recognized as assets and liabilities. The Company entered into an office lease with an effective date on May 1, 2021.
 
(d)

JOY District Agreement with Freeport
 
On May 11, 2021, the Company and Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. (“Freeport”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:FCX) entered into a Mineral Property Earn-in Agreement (the “EIA”) whereby Freeport may acquire up to a 70% ownership interest of the Company’s Joy porphyry Cu-Au District Property.
 
Under the terms of the EIA, Freeport has a two-stage option to earn up to a 70% ownership interest in the mineral claims comprising the JOY District, plus other rights and interests, over a 10 year period.
 
To earn an initial 60% interest, Freeport is required to fund $35 million of work expenditures over a 5- year term. During the first year of the earn-in, a $4 million work program is planned in the JOY District.
 
These optional earn-in expenditures can be accelerated by Freeport at its discretion. Amarc will be operator during the initial earn-in period. Once Freeport has acquired such 60% interest, Amarc and Freeport will proceed to operate the JOY District through a jointly owned corporation with Freeport assuming project operatorship.
 
Upon Freeport earning such 60% interest, it can elect, in its sole discretion, to earn an additional 10% interest, for a total 70% interest by sole funding a further $75 million within the following five years.
 
Once Freeport has finalized its earned ownership interest at either the 60% or 70% level, each party will be responsible for funding its own pro-rata share of project costs on a 60:40 or 70:30 basis.
 
On August 4, 2021, Amarc announced that Freeport had increased its first year contribution to the
 
Company’s ongoing exploration program at the JOY District from $4 million to $5.5 million.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred eligible and recoverable project costs of $758,903. These were included in the expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The cost recoveries recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021 are: (i) $758,903 related to this project, (ii) $148,227 related to the refunds received by the Company for its portion of BC Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (“BCMETC”) as a result of the re-assessment of the Company’s refund claims for fiscal 2018 and 2019, and (iii) $1,151 cost recoveries related to other property costs incurred in fiscal 2021.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company earned a fee of $52,672 as the operator of the project of the JOY District.

(b)
2019 bridge loans
 
In July and August 2019, the Company entered into certain loan agreements (collective the “Bridge Loans”) with a director of the Company and a private company wholly-owned by a director of the Company (collectively the “Bridge Lenders”), pursuant to which the Bridge Lenders advanced to the Company an aggregate principal sum of $375,000 with a 1-year term and bearing interest at 10% per annum. The Bridge Loans were fully repaid in September 2019.
 
In December 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Second Bridge Loan”) with a director of the Company (the “Second Bridge Lender”), pursuant to which the Second Bridge Lender advanced to the Company a principal sum of $300,000 with a 9-month term and bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum.
 
Advances have been measured as financial liabilities at their (cash) transaction values, with the unamortized balance of directly applicable transaction costs, comprised of the fair values of the loan bonus warrants granted, representing a partially offsetting asset balance. Such transaction costs are being expensed pro-rata over the term of the debt, with the effect on the balance sheet presentation being that the aggregate debt is accreted towards its face value.
 
In August 2020, the principal and interest balances of the Second Bridge Loan were fully repaid.

Pursuant to an agreement dated July 2, 2010, HDSI provides certain cost effective technical, geological, corporate communications, regulatory compliance, and administrative and management services to the Company, on a non-exclusive basis as needed and as requested by the Company. As a result of this relationship, the Company has ready access to a range of diverse and specialized expertise on a regular basis, without having to engage or hire full-time employees or experts. The Company benefits from the economies of scale created by HDSI which itself serves several clients both within and external to the exploration and mining sector.
