Management's Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020

logosm03.jpg

 

In April and June 2020, Technical Exploration reports and the License Renewal applications were submitted for four exploration concessions (ANM processes nos. 850.193/2017 to 850.196/2017). In addition, the Company submitted to ANM a final report for exploration concession ANM no. 850.058/2002 that remains under review. Such reports must be accepted by ANM, subject to rights of appeal, in order to maintain the concession. If approved, the Company will have one year to apply to convert the exploration concession overlying the deposit to a mining concession, which will require further development studies and an environmental licence. There is no assurance that such studies or reports will be accepted or that such applications will be approved by the ANM and Secretaria de Estado de Meio Ambiente/Pará ("SEMA").

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, the Company incurred $20,473 and $87,378, respectively, of expenditures on the São Jorge Project. These expenditures included license application fees and consulting fees to vendors that provided geological and technical services, and expenditures for camp maintenance costs. In 2020, the Company intends to maintain the São Jorge Project in good standing.

 

Other Properties

 

In addition to the above projects, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, holds the following interests in other properties:

 

 

Cachoeira Project – the Company indirectly holds a 100% interest in the Cachoeira Project, located in Pará State, Brazil. The Cachoeira Project comprises one contiguous block consisting of three mining and two exploration licences covering approximately 5,742 hectares. In 2014, the Company submitted to the ANM an assessment plan for the mining concessions within the Cachoeira Project, including certain conceptual engineering studies. The Company notes that such assessment plan does not constitute a preliminary economic assessment within the meaning of NI 43-101 and no production decision with respect to the project has been made to date.

 

The Company has also submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment in 2013 to SEMA as part of its environmental licensing process, which is ongoing. The Company understands that SEMA's technical review has been completed and that SEMA will submit its technical advice along with the application of the Preliminary License to be endorsed by the Environmental Council of Pará State ("COEMA"). The review and approval of the application submitted by SEMA to COEMA is the last step to receive a preliminary license. The date for the next COEMA board meeting has yet to be set.

 

Pursuant to the mining licenses underlying the Cachoeira Project, the Company was required to commence mining operations at the property by April 2014, assuming the requisite environmental license has been granted by SEMA.  Such environmental license has not yet been granted. Once the environmental license is granted, the Company must proceed to production or may request a two-year extension. While such extensions have been granted by ANM in the past, there can be no assurance that such an extension will be granted on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If an environmental license and the license extension described above are received, the Company will have an additional six months after the extension to implement an operational mining facility on the Cachoeira Project.

 

In March 2018, the Company received a court summons from a royalty holder with respect to the annual payment in lieu of the royalty for years 2014 to 2018. In response thereto, the Company has applied to the court to obtain a discharge from its obligation to make such annual payments on the basis that mining operations at the Cachoeira Project have not begun due to the environmental agency having not issued, in a timely fashion, the necessary licenses for the operation of the mine. The court has agreed to hear the Company's case and the judge presiding over the matter has requested witnesses for the plaintiff to testify in court. A date for the case to be heard by the lower court has not been set. There can be no assurance any such litigation will be determined on terms favourable to the Company.

Surubim Project – the Company currently indirectly holds a 100% interest in the Surubim Project located in Pará State, Brazil. The Surubim Project consists of four exploration licenses for a total area of 14,611 hectares. One of the non-core concessions with a total area of 1,176 hectares is under appeal and the Company is awaiting a decision by ANM. On July 25, 2019 and October 30, 2019 final exploration reports presenting the results of exploration work conducted on the property by BGC, including drilling programs for the largest exploration concession within the Surubim Project, was submitted to ANM. Provided that ANM approves the submitted report, the Company would then have one year following such approval to present additional required studies to ANM and obtain environmental licensing, if the Company wishes to proceed with further work on the concession. Please see "Contractual Obligations – Surubim Project" for further information.

 

 

Boa Vista Project – the Company, through its interest in the Boa Vista Gold ("BVG") joint venture, currently indirectly holds an 84.05% interest in the Boa Vista Project located in Pará State, Brazil.  The Boa Vista Project consists of three exploration licenses for a total area of 12,889 hectares.  The Company submitted a Final Exploration Report for two of the three exploration licenses in February 2018 (ANM no.850.759/2006 and 850.353/2010) and a Final Report for another exploration license on January 23, 2019 (ANM no.850.643/2006).  The Final Exploration Report for all three exploration licenses was approved by the ANM on November 22, 2019. The Company is required to prepare an Economic Assessment Plan and initiate the Environmental Licensing and submit the application for a Mining Concession to ANM no later than August 2021. Please see "Contractual Obligations – Boa Vista Project" for further information.

 

 

Batistão Project – the Company currently indirectly holds a 100% interest in the Batistão Project located in Mato Grosso State, Brazil. The Company was required to file an Economic Assessment Plan and the Preliminary Environmental License, together with the mining concession application by January 2016. The Company requested an extension to submit the Mining Concession Application, due to the market conditions and gold price at the time, which had deteriorated since the Final Exploration Report was submitted to ANM in 2013. There is no assurance that ANM will accept the Company's request for an extension.

 

 

Montes Áureos and Trinta Projects – the Company currently holds a 51% interest in the Montes Áureos and Trinta Projects located in Pará and Maranhão States, Brazil. The Company is in the process of applying for the mining concession for the Montes Áureos Project and the renewal of the exploration permit for the Trinta Project. Both applications are under review by ANM. There is no assurance that such applications will be approved by ANM.

 

 

Crucero Project – the Company currently indirectly holds a 100% interest in the Crucero Project, located in the eastern Cordillera of southeastern Peru in the Department of Puno, Province of Carabaya, District of Crucero. The Crucero Project is comprised of eight mining concessions with an aggregate area of 4,600 hectares.

 

 

Yarumalito Project – the Company currently indirectly holds a 100% interest in the Yarumalito Project located in Antioquia, Colombia. The Yarumalito Project consists of one concession for a total area of approximately 1,453 hectares.

 

 

Almaden Project – The Almaden Project, located in west-central Idaho, is comprised of 223 claims and leases covering an area of 1,724 hectares.

 

 

Rea Project – the Company indirectly holds a 75% interest and Orano Canada Inc. ("Orano") (formerly Areva Resources Canada Inc.) holds the remaining 25% interest in the Rea Project. The Rea Project is located in northeastern Alberta, Canada, approximately 185 kilometres northeast of Fort McMurray. The Rea Project consists of 16 contiguous exploration permits, which cover an area of 125,328 hectares in the western part of the Athabasca Basin and surrounds the Maybelle project held by Orano. Pursuant to a review of the Caribou Protection Plan (the "CPP") announced by the Alberta Department of Environment and Parks in 2016, an extension on filing mineral assessment reports was granted by the Department of Coal and Mineral Development, Alberta Energy to the Company to March 31, 2021. The extension states that until the CPP is finalized, no metallic and industrial mineral permits will be cancelled and mineral assessment reports normally due to maintain permits in good standing will not be required. Once the CPP is finalized, permit and assessment report timelines will be extended accordingly. Extensions will take into consideration any new or existing surface restrictions and time needed to obtain exploration approvals. The Company expects to plan future programs once this review has been completed.

 

The Company currently intends to hold these early stage properties in good standing with the intention of conducting exploration programs, entering into potential option agreements or selling the properties.

Properties Outlook

 

As previously disclosed, the Company is focused on identifying and completing additional acquisitions to further build shareholder value. In furtherance thereof, the Company has determined to focus expenditures related to its existing project portfolio on project maintenance and low-cost exploration programs. Certain of the Company's properties, including its Boa Vista, Surubim and La Mina projects are subject to ongoing option and other agreements that require additional payments by the Company. While the Company currently intends to complete its obligations, in the event that the Company determines not to proceed with, or otherwise fails to make such payments, its interests in such projects may be lost. In addition, the Company plans to renegotiate certain existing property agreements and commitments in order to better position itself for its long-term strategy and that reflect current market conditions. There can be no assurance that any renegotiation will be achieved on preferential terms or at all. Please see "Contractual Obligations" for further information.

Exploration expenses were $901,815 in the nine months ended August 31, 2020, compared to $1,067,491 in the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of lower potential interest fees on advance royalty payments for the Cachoeira Project, lower camp maintenance and consulting fees incurred on the Sao Jorge and Yellowknife projects and the deferral of surface rights and land payments on the La Mina and Crucero projects. These decreases were partially offset by higher camp maintenance costs on the Titiribi and Whistler projects and consulting fees and land payments incurred on the Almaden and Yarumalito projects, which were acquired during fiscal year 2020. Exploration expenditures incurred in the nine months ended August 31, 2020 consisted primarily of exploration and field expenses of $301,633, compared to $198,342 for the same period in 2019, consulting fees to vendors who provided geological and technical services respecting the Company's projects, of $123,485, compared to $174,759 in the same period in 2019, payroll and employee expenses of $123,681, compared to $126,869 in the same period in 2019 and other exploration expenses which included land fees required to maintain the Company's projects in good standing, an access road study related to the Whistler Project and potential interest fees on the Cachoeira Project, of $353,016, compared to $567,521 in the same period in 2019.

Non-cash share-based compensation expenses were $1,085,091 and $1,976,417 in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, respectively, compared to $386,770 and $976,135 in the same periods of 2019. The increase was primarily the result of higher share-based compensation recorded for consultants. As the fair value of unvested share options granted to consultants are revalued at the end of each reporting period, due to the significant increase in the Company's share price, this resulted in higher share-based compensation for consultants. During the nine months ended August 31, 2020, options were granted to employees and consultants of the Company, such options have a weighted average exercise price of $1.80 per GoldMining Share and are valid for a weighted average period of 2.76 years from their grant dates. During the nine months ended August 31, 2019, options were granted to employees and consultants of the Company, such options have a weighted average exercise price of $1.04 per GoldMining Share and are valid for a period of 5 years from their grant dates.

 

Consulting fees paid to corporate development, information technology and human resources service providers were $120,121 and $388,197 in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, respectively, compared to $70,958 and $181,290 in the same periods of 2019. The increase was primarily the result of higher marketing and corporate development activities in the current period.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020

Capital resources of the Company consist primarily of cash and liquid short-term investments. As at August 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $7,125,142 compared to $6,477,885 at November 30, 2019, and $564,705 in other current assets compared to $386,279 at November 30, 2019. The Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,847,840 as at August 31, 2020, compared to $1,634,452 as at November 30, 2019. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $213,388 was primarily the result of an increase in accrued liabilities related to potential interest fees on the Cachoeira Project and an increase in accounts payable for professional services and investor communications and marketing provided during the period, offset by the payment of annual land fees of $296,113 for the Whistler Project, which were included in accounts payable at November 30, 2019. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities includes an advanced royalty payment accrual relating to the dispute with a royalty holder on the Cachoeira Project, of $1,103,353 as at August 31, 2020, compared to $1,052,489 as at November 30, 2019. As at August 31, 2020, the Company had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $5,742,567 compared to $5,051,471 as at November 30, 2019.

 

The Company currently intends to hold its early stage properties in good standing with the intention of exploring additional advancement of such projects when economic conditions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic improve. Certain of the Company's properties, including its Boa Vista, Surubim and La Mina Projects are subject to certain ongoing agreements that require additional payments by the Company. Therefore, the Company must continue incurring various surface rights lease payments, land fee payments, advance royalty payments, license application and extension fees, and camp maintenance costs. Based on management's decision to maintain its current projects in good standing, management believes that available cash will be adequate to meet ongoing liquidity needs in the short-term and over the next year for the Company's existing business and projects. Future expansion, including the acquisition of additional mineral properties or interests, may require additional financing, which the Company may obtain through equity and/or debt financing.

 

The Company believes that it has sufficient capital resources, including cash and cash equivalents, to meet its obligations over the next 12 months. The Company's ability to meet its obligations and finance exploration and development activities over the long-term will depend on its ability to generate cash flow through the issuance of GoldMining Shares pursuant to equity financings and/or short-term or long-term loans. The Company's growth and success is dependent on external sources of financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgments and/or estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Critical accounting estimates represent estimates that are uncertain and for which changes in those estimates could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. Areas of judgment and key sources of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant effect are disclosed in Note 3 of our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

 

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. The Company adopted the following new accounting standard effective December 1, 2019:

 

IFRS 16 Leases

 

Effective December 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to retained earnings and no restatement of comparative information. The Company elected to measure its right-of-use asset at the amount equal to the associated lease liability; as such, the adjustment to retained earnings was $nil. Upon adoption, the Company elected to apply the available exemptions as permitted by IFRS 16 to recognize a lease expense on a straight-line basis for short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and low value assets. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient whereby leases whose term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application would be accounted for in the same way as short-term leases. The Company also elected to apply the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components, by class of underlying asset, and instead will account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component. Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized an additional right-of-use asset and lease liability related to office space in the amount of $65,794. From December 1, 2019, the Company recognizes depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and interest expense on lease liabilities with lease payments recorded as a reduction of the lease liability. Prior to the adoption of IFRS 16, lease payments were recorded as expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The adoption of IFRS 16 has not had a significant impact on earnings. Further information on the adoption of IFRS 16, right-of-use asset and lease liability are disclosed in the notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Financial Instruments and Risk Management 

 

The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, 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 liability and government loan payable. 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, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture and due to related party 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 the lease liability is based on the discounted cash flow model using an interest rate of 4.44%.

The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States Dollars and total $1,103,353.

 

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, 2020 would have an impact of $101,640 on net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2020.

 

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 assets are cash and guaranteed investment certificates, which bear interest at fixed or variable 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.

 

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 with large, reputable financial institutions.

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. Taking into account the current cash balances, the Company believes it has sufficient working capital for its present obligations for at least the next twelve months commencing from August 31, 2020. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of a financing will be favourable. The Company's working capital (current assets less current liabilities) as at August 31, 2020 was $5,742,567. The Company's other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties and lease liability are expected to be realized or settled, respectively, within a one-year period.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

In accordance with NI 52-109, management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate DC&P and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ("ICFR"). 

 

The Company uses the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework published by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as the basis for assessing its ICFR. Management performed an evaluation of the Company's ICFR and concluded that, as at August 31, 2020, ICFR were designed and operating effectively so as to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. There were no changes in the Company's ICFR that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ICFR during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020.

 

While management of the Company have designed the Company's DC&P and ICFR, they expect that these controls and procedures may not prevent all errors and fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
