MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

The annual audited consolidated financial statements (the “Annual Financial Statements”), the notes thereto, and other financial information contained in the accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and are the responsibility of the management of Silver Elephant Mining Corp. The financial information presented elsewhere in the MD&A is consistent with the data that is contained in the Annual Financial Statements. The Annual Financial Statements, where necessary, include amounts which are based on the best estimates and judgment of management.

In order to discharge management’s responsibility for the integrity of the Annual Financial Statements, the Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls. These controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s assets are safeguarded, transactions are executed and recorded in accordance with management’s authorization, proper records are maintained, and relevant and reliable financial information is produced. These controls include maintaining quality standards in hiring and training of employees, policies and procedures manuals, a corporate code of conduct and ethics and ensuring that there is proper accountability for performance within appropriate and well-defined areas of responsibility. The system of internal controls is further supported by a compliance function, which is designed to ensure that we and our employees comply with securities legislation and conflict of interest rules.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing management’s performance of its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Audit Committee, which is composed of non-executive directors, meets with management as well as the external auditors to ensure that management is properly fulfilling its financial reporting responsibilities to the Board who approve the Annual Financial Statements. The external auditors have full and unrestricted access to the Audit Committee to discuss the scope of their audits and the adequacy of the system of internal controls, and to review financial reporting issues.

The external auditors, Davidson & Company LLP, have been appointed by the Company’s shareholders to render their opinion on the Annual Financial Statements and their report is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Directors of

Silver Elephant Mining Corp.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Silver Elephant Mining Corp. (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and the related consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Silver Elephant Mining Corp. as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 in conformity with those requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2013.

SILVER ELEPHANT MINING CORP.

Notes to Annual Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Silver Elephant Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “ELEF”) is incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. The common shares without par value in the capital of the Company (the “Common Shares”) are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “ELEF” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “1P2N” and are quoted on the OTCQX® Best Market under the symbol “SILEF”. The Company maintains its registered and records office at Suite 1610 – 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1T2.

The Company is a mineral exploration stage company. The Company's projects are the Pulacayo Paca silver-lead-zinc property in Bolivia (the "Pulacayo Project"), the El Triunfo gold-silver-lead-zinc project in Bolivia (“the Triunfo Project”), the Gibellini vanadium project in the State of Nevada, USA (the "Gibellini Project"), and the Minago nickel project in Manitoba, Canada (the "Minago Project"). The Company also owns or holds 100% interests in each of the following projects: (a) the Titan vanadium-titanium-iron project located in Ontario, Canada, (b) the Sunawayo silver-zinc-lead project in Bolivia, (c) the Ulaan Ovoo coal project located in Mongolia, and (d) the Chandgana Khavtgai and Tal coal projects, located in Mongolia; all of which have been fully impaired.

As at December 31, 2021 the Company was in the process of completing a strategic reorganization of the business through a statutory plan or arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) dated November 8, 2021 pursuant to which it shall:

i.	complete a consolidation of the outstanding share capital of ELEF whereby each 10 pre-consolidation ELEF share shall be exchanged for one post-consolidation ELEF share;
ii.	transfer certain royalties presently held by ELEF in certain projects into its own entity, Battery Metals Royalty Corp. (“RoyaltyCo”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ELEF;
iii.	spin-off the Minago Project into its own entity, Flying Nickel Mining Corp.(“NickelCo” or “Flying Nickel”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ELEF;
iv.	and spin-off the Gibellini Project into its own entity, Nevada Vanadium Mining Corp. (“VanadiumCo”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ELEF.

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, on January 14, 2022, the Company’s share capital was consolidated on the basis of one (1) new share for each ten (10) old shares (the “Consolidation”). All common share, warrant, option and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted.

These consolidated annual financial statements (the “Annual Financial Statements”) have been prepared under the assumption that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As at December 31, 2021, the Company has a deficit of $192 million. The operations of the Company were primarily funded by the issuance of capital stock and proceeds from option and warrant exercises.

The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to develop a sufficient financing plan, receive continued financial support from related parties, complete sufficient public equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its business.

Risks associated with Public Health Crises, including COVID-19

The Company's business, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics, pandemics or other health crises, such as the outbreak of COVID-19 that was designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The international response to the spread of COVID-19 has led to significant restrictions on travel, temporary business closures, quarantines, global stock market volatility and a general reduction in consumer activity. Such public health crises can result in operating, supply chain and project development delays and disruptions, global stock market and financial market volatility, declining trade and market sentiment, reduced movement of people and labour shortages, and travel and shipping disruption and shutdowns, including as a result of government regulation and prevention measures, or a fear of any of the foregoing, all of which could affect commodity prices, interest rates, credit risk and inflation.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (cont’d…)

In addition, the current COVID-19 pandemic, and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens could have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which may adversely impact the Company's operations, and the operations of suppliers, contractors and service providers, including smelter and refining service providers, and the demand for the Company's production.

The Company may experience business interruptions, including suspended (whether government mandated or otherwise) or reduced operations relating to COVID-19 and other such events outside of the Company's control, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, operations and operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

As at the date of the consolidated financial statements, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and related financial impact of COVID-19 cannot be reasonably estimated. It is unknown whether and how the Company may be affected if the pandemic persists for an extended period of time. In particular, the region in which we operate may not have sufficient public infrastructure to adequately respond or efficiently and quickly recover from such event, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations. The Company's exposure to such public health crises also includes risks to employee health and safety. Should an employee, contractor, community member or visitor become infected with a serious illness that has the potential to spread rapidly, this could place the Company's workforce at risk

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These Annual Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with and using accounting policies in full compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), effective for the Company’s reporting year ended December 31, 2021.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Company’s management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas where significant judgments and estimates have been made in preparing these Annual Financial Statements and their effect are disclosed in Note 5.

These Annual Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), which are stated at their fair values. These Annual Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. These Annual Financial Statements are presented in Canadian Dollars, except where otherwise noted.

The accounting policies set out in Note 6 have been applied consistently by the Company and its subsidiaries to all periods presented.

The Annual Consolidated Financial Statements were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 30, 2022.

3. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The Annual Financial Statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned and partially owned subsidiaries as at December 31, 2021. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. Effects of transactions between subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company. Accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

4. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Future Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Amendments to IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use. In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment(IAS 16). The amendments prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related costs in profit (loss). An entity is required to apply these amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments are applied retrospectively only to items of property, plant and equipment that are available for use after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the amendments. We are currently assessing the effect of this amendment on our financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non‐Current and Deferral of Effective Date. In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, to provide a more general approach to the presentation of liabilities as current or non‐current based on contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date.

4. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

These amendments:

- specify that the rights and conditions existing at the end of the reporting period are relevant in determining whether the Company has a right to defer settlement of a liability by at least twelve months;

- provide that management’s expectations are not a relevant consideration as to whether the Company will exercise its rights to defer settlement of a liability; and

- clarify when a liability is considered settled.

On July 15, 2020, the IASB issued a deferral of the effective date for the new guidance by one year to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company has not yet determined the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.

5. SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of a company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

5.1Significant Judgments

The significant judgments that the Company’s management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, apart from those involving estimation uncertainties (Annual financial statements 5.2), that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Annual Financial Statements include, but are not limited to:

(a) Functional currency determination

The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment. Management has determined the functional currency of all entities to be the Canadian dollar.

(b) Impairment (recovery) assessment of deferred exploration interests

The Company considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that mineral property interests are impaired. External sources of information the Company considers include changes in the market, economic and legal environment in which the Company operates that are not within its control and affect the recoverable amount of mineral property interest. Internal sources of information the Company considers include the manner in which mineral properties and plant and equipment are being used or are expected to be used and indications of economic performance of the assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company wrote-off $1,278,816 (2020 - $Nil, 2019 - $Nil) of capitalized mineral property costs. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reversed $13,708,200 of impairment (Note 15).

5. SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (cont’d…)

(c) Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

The measurement of the deferred tax provision is subject to uncertainty associated with the timing of future events and changes in legislation, tax rates and interpretations by tax authorities. The estimation of deferred taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. For deferred tax calculation purposes, Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.

(d) Depreciation

Significant judgment is involved in the determination of useful life and residual values for the computation of depreciation, depletion and amortization and no assurance can be given that actual useful lives and residual values will not differ significantly from current assumptions.

(e) Determination of Control over Non-Controlling Interest

The determination of control of subsidiaries involves significant judgment. De facto control exists in circumstances when an entity owns less than 50% voting rights in another entity but has control for reasons other than voting rights or contractual and other statutory means. These consolidated financial statements include the results of Flying Nickel as management has determined that the Company has de facto control over Flying Nickel as the Company has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of Flying Nickel and controls the Board of Directors for all periods presented.

5.2 Estimates and Assumptions

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management believes the estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows. The areas which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:

(a) Mineral reserves

The recoverability of the carrying value of the mineral properties is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

(b) Impairment

The carrying value of long-lived assets are reviewed each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired, and an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The assessment of fair values, including those of the cash generating units (the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflow from other assets or groups of assets) (“CGUs”) for purposes of testing impairment, require the use of estimates and assumptions for recoverable production, long-term commodity prices, discount rates, foreign exchange rates, future capital requirements and operating performance. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair value of long-lived assets could impact the impairment analysis.

5. SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (cont’d…)

(c) Allowance for doubtful accounts, and the recoverability of receivables and prepaid expense amounts.

Significant estimates are involved in the determination of recoverability of receivables and no assurance can be given that actual proceeds will not differ significantly from current estimations. Similarly, significant estimates are involved in the determination of the recoverability of services and/or goods related to the prepaid expense amounts, and actual results could differ significantly from current estimations.

Management has made significant assumptions about the recoverability of receivables and prepaid expense amounts. During the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company recovered $81,321 (2020 - $Nil, 2019 - $Nil) of receivables which had been previously written-off. During the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company wrote-off $30,415 (2020 - $470,278; 2019 - $16,304) of trade receivables and $Nil (2020 - $121,125; 2019 - $51,828) of prepaid expenses for which not future benefit is expected to be received.

(d) Provision for closure and reclamation

The Company assesses its mineral properties’ rehabilitation provision at each reporting date or when new material information becomes available. Exploration, development and mining activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. In general, these laws and regulations are continually changing, and the Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Accounting for reclamation obligations requires management to make estimates of the future costs that the Company will incur to complete the reclamation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations at each location. Actual costs incurred may differ from those amounts estimated.

Also, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of reclamation and remediation work required to be performed by the Company. Increases in future costs could materially impact the

amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation. The provision represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future reclamation and remediation obligation. The actual future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided.

(e) Share-based payments

Management uses valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of share purchase options granted. The fair value is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make certain estimates, judgement, and assumptions in relation to the expected life of the share purchase options and share purchase warrants, expected volatility, expected risk-free rate, and expected forfeiture rate. Changes to these assumptions could have a material impact on the Annual Financial Statements.

(f) Contingencies

The assessment of contingencies involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company and that may result in regulatory or government actions that may negatively impact the Company’s business or operations, the Company and its legal counsel evaluate the perceived merits of the legal proceeding or unasserted claim or action as well as the perceived merits of the nature and amount of relief sought or expected to be sought, when determining the amount, if any, to recognize as a contingent liability or when assessing the impact on the carrying value of the Company’s assets. Contingent assets are not recognized in the Annual Financial Statements.

6. SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (cont’d…)

(g) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. The fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are disclosed in Note 23. Also, from time to time, the fair values of non-financial assets and liabilities are required to be determined, e.g., when the entity acquires a business, completes

an asset acquisition or where an entity measures the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit at fair value less costs of disposal. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Changes in estimates and assumptions about these inputs could affect the reported fair value.

(h) Assets/liabilities held for spin-off

Assets held for spin-off and liabilities held for spin-off have been assessed individually to determine their fair value less costs to spin-off under current market conditions. Fair value less costs to spin-off is measured with reference to the fair value of the equity received as consideration. The Company believes that the valuation assumptions reflect a reasonable estimate of the recoverable amount of each account or asset.

6. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Restricted cash equivalents

Restricted cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments pledged as collateral for the Company’s credit card and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

(b) Mineral properties

Mineral property assets consist of exploration and evaluation costs. Costs directly related to the exploration and evaluation of resource properties are capitalized to mineral properties once the legal rights to explore the resource properties are acquired or obtained. These costs include acquisition of rights to explore, license and application fees, topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies, exploratory drilling, trenching, sampling, and activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource.

If it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs are not recoverable, or the property is abandoned or management has determined an impairment in value, the property is written down to its recoverable amount. Mineral properties are reviewed at least annually for indicators of impairment and are tested for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount.

6. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

(b) Mineral properties (cont’d…)

From time to time, the Company acquires or disposes of properties pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are recorded as mineral property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. After costs are recovered, the balances of the payments received are recorded as a gain on option or disposition of mineral property.

(i) Title to mineral properties

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title, nor has the Company insured title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

(ii) Realization of mineral property assets

The investment in and expenditures on mineral property interests comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the establishment of legal ownership, and the attainment of successful production from properties or from the proceeds of their disposal. Resource exploration and development is highly speculative and involves inherent risks. While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into profitable producing mines. There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore.

The amounts shown for acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures represent costs incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values.

(iii) Environmental

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest.

The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. Other than as disclosed in Note 18, the Company is not aware of any existing environmental issues related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company. Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.

(c) Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property and equipment consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use, and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

6. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

(c) Equipment (cont’d…)

Depreciation of equipment is recorded on a declining-balance basis at the following annual rates:

Computer equipment	45	%
Furniture and equipment	20	%
Mining equipment	20	%
Vehicles	30	%
Right-of-use asset	Straight line / term of lease

When parts of major components of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as a separate item of equipment.

The cost of major overhauls of parts of equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(d) Impairment of non-current assets and Cash Generating Units (“CGU”)

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its long lived assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU, where the recoverable amount of the CGU is the greater of the CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use to which the assets belong. In assessing value in use, 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.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Each project or group of claims or licenses is treated as a CGU. Discounted cash flow techniques often require management to make estimates and assumptions concerning reserves and expected future production revenues and expenses, which can vary from actual. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or CGU) in prior years.

(d) Foreign currency translation

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the prevailing exchange rates at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Gains and losses arising from this translation are included in the determination of net gain or loss for the year.

6. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

(e) Deferred development costs

Exploration expenditures are re-classified from Exploration and evaluation assets to deferred development costs within the property and equipment category once the work completed to date supports the future development of the property and such development receives appropriate approvals.

After reclassification, all subsequent expenditure on the construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities is capitalized within deferred development cost. Development expenditure is net of proceeds from the sale of coal extracted during the development phase to the extent that it is considered integral to the development of the mine. Any costs incurred in testing the assets to determine if they are functioning as intended, are capitalized, net of any proceeds received from selling any product produced while testing. Where these proceeds exceed the cost of testing, any excess is recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

(f) Unit offerings

Proceeds received on the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants, are allocated first to common shares based on the market trading price of the common shares at the time the units are priced, and any excess is allocated to warrants.

(g) Share-based payments

The Company has a share purchase option plan that is described in Note 20. The Company accounts for share-based payments using a fair value-based method with respect to all share-based payments to directors, officers, employees, and service providers. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or if such fair value is not reliably measurable, at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The fair value is recognized as an expense or capitalized to mineral properties or property and equipment with a corresponding increase in option reserve. This includes a forfeiture estimate, which is revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods.

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated statement of income (loss) and consolidated income (loss) over the remaining vesting period.

Upon the exercise of the share purchase option, the consideration received, and the related amount transferred from option reserve are recorded as share capital.

(h) Loss/gain per share

Basic loss/gain per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options and warrants. Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss/gain per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.

6. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

(i) Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

(j) Provision for closure and reclamation

The Company assesses its equipment and mineral property rehabilitation provision at each reporting date. Changes to estimated future costs are recognized in the statement of financial position by either increasing or decreasing the rehabilitation liability and asset to which it relates if the initial estimate was originally recognized as part of an asset measured in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment.

The Company records the present value of estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore operations in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of these restoration activities includes dismantling and removing structures; rehabilitating mineral properties; dismantling operating facilities; closure of plant and waste sites; and restoration, reclamation and vegetation of affected areas. Present value is used where the effect of the time value of money is material. The related liability is adjusted each period for the unwinding of the discount rate and for changes in estimates, changes to the current market-based discount rate, and the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation.

(k) Financial instruments

Classification

Financial assets are classified at initial recognition as either: measured at amortized cost, FVTPL or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. Derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL or the Company has opted to measure at FVTPL.

Measurement

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which they arise. Where the Company has opted to designate a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company's credit risk will be recognized in OCI. Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

6. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

(k) Financial instruments (cont’d…)

Impairment

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss (“ECL”) associated with financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt instruments carried at FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Please refer to Note 23 for relevant fair value measurement disclosures.

(l) Disposal groups held for sale and discontinued operations

Disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a spin-off transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from these requirements.

An impairment loss or recovery is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down or write-up of the disposal group to fair value less costs to sale. A gain is recognized for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of a disposal group, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously recognized by the date of the sale of the disposal group is recognized at the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets, including those that are part of a disposal group, are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognized. Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the statement of financial position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss.

(m) Leases

At inception of a contract, we assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. We assess whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset during the term of the arrangement and if we have the right to direct the use of the asset. At inception or on assessment of a contract that contains a lease component, we allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.

As a lessee, we recognize a right-of-use asset, which is included in property, plant and equipment, and a lease liability at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. In addition, the right-of-use asset may be reduced due to impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

6. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

(m) Leases (cont’d…)

A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, our incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of:

· fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;

· variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

· amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;

· exercise prices of purchase options if we are reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

· payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if there is a change in our estimate or assessment of the expected amount payable under a residual value guarantee, purchase, and extension or termination option. Variable lease payments not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability are charged directly to profit (loss). We have elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with these leases are charged directly to profit (loss) on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(n) Flow-through shares

Canadian Income Tax legislation permits an enterprise to issue securities referred to as flow-through shares, whereby the investor can claim the tax deductions arising from the renunciation of the related resource expenditures. The Company accounts for flow-through shares whereby the premium paid for the flow-through shares in excess of the market value of the shares without flow-through features at the time of issue is credited to other liabilities and included in profit or loss at the same time the qualifying expenditures are made.

(o) Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interest in the Company’s less than wholly owned subsidiaries is classified as a separate component of equity. On initial recognition, non-controlling interest is measured at the fair value of the non-controlling entity’s contribution into the related subsidiary. Subsequent to the original transaction date, adjustments are made to the carrying amount of non-controlling interest for the non-controlling interest’s share of changes to the subsidiary’s equity.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are recorded as equity transactions. The carrying amount of non-controlling interest is adjusted to reflect the change in the non-controlling interest’s relative interest in the subsidiary, and the difference between the adjustment to the carrying amount of non-controlling interests and the Company’s share of proceeds received and/or consideration paid is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

7. ARRANGEMENT AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

As at December 31, 2021 the Company was in the process of completing the Arrangementdated November 8, 2021 pursuant to which it shall:

i.	complete a consolidation of the outstanding share capital of ELEF whereby each 10 pre-consolidation ELEF share shall be exchanged for one post-consolidation ELEF share (completed);
ii.	transfer certain royalties presently held by ELEF in certain projects into RoyaltyCo (completed);
iii.	spin-off the Minago Project into NickelCo (completed);
iv.	and spin-off the Gibellini Project into VanadiumCo (completed) (collectively, the “SpinCos” or “SpinCo”)..

ELEF will transfer assets, as described above, to each spin-out subsidiary in consideration for the following:

· NickelCo will purchase the Minago Project assets from ELEF in exchange for the issuance of 50,000,000 NickelCo shares and the assumption of certain liabilities related to the underlying assets;

· RoyaltyCo will purchase the royalties from ELEF in exchange for the issuance of 1,785,430 RoyaltyCo shares;

· VanadiumCo will purchase the Gibellini Project assets from ELEF in exchange for the issuance of 50,000,000 VanadiumCo shares and the assumption of certain liabilities related to the underlying assets;

· and RoyaltyCo will purchase certain of the outstanding shares of both VanadiumCo and NickelCo in exchange for the issuance of RoyaltyCo shares.

Upon the Arrangement completion:

i.	the authorized share capital of ELEF shall be reorganized and its articles amended by the creation of an unlimited number of Class A Shares;
ii.	and each ELEF shareholder will exchange each post-Consolidation ELEF share to receive: one share of each of NickelCo and VanadiumCo; two shares of RoyaltyCo; and one Class A share of ELEF

Holders of outstanding ELEF warrants and options after the Record Date will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of each such warrant and option at the same original exercise price and in accordance with the terms of such warrant and option, one share of each of NickelCo and VanadiumCo.; two shares of the RoyaltyCo (collectively, the “Reserved Shares”); and one Class A share of ELEF.

On December 22, 2021, the Company received shareholder approval of the Arrangement. On January 12, 2022, the Company received BC Supreme Court approval of the Arrangement. On January 14, 2022, the Company received regulatory approval and completed the Arrangement.

The Company is entered into Services Agreements with each SpinCo pursuant to which the Company will provide office space, furnishings and equipment, communications facilities, and personnel necessary for the SpinCos to fulfill their basic day-to-day head office and executive responsibilities in a pro-rata cost-recovery basis.

As at December 31, 2021, management determined the assets and liabilities of the SpinCos met the definitions of assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Consequently, assets and liabilities of the SpinCos were classified as a disposal group. In accordance with IFRS 5, on the reclassification of disposal group as assets held for sale or spin-off and discontinued operations, the Company remeasured the net assets of the SpinCos at the lower of cost and fair value less costs of disposal.

The net assets to be transferred to NickelCo were valued at $17,192,325 which was based on their carrying value at year-end. The net assets to be transferred to VanadiumCo were valued at $16,043,745 which was based on their carrying value at year-end. There was $Nil value ascribed to the royalties to be transferred to RoyaltyCo as they were internally generated assets with a $Nil carrying value.

During the year-ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $426,394 in transaction costs related to the Arrangement which were equally applied to each spin-out subsidiary.

(“Victory Nickel”) dated January 21, 2021, the Company subscribed to 40,000,000 common shares of Victory Nickel (“VN share”) at a price per VN share of $0.025 for cash consideration of $1,000,000 which resulted in the Company owning approximately 29% of Victory Nickel post-investment on a non-diluted basis.

The Company has determined it does not have significant influence over Victory Nickel and therefore accounts for the investment at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss.

14. EQUIPMENT

On October 10, 2018, the Company signed a lease agreement (the “Lease”) with an arms-length private Mongolian company (the “Lessee”) whereby the Lessee plans to perform mining operations at the Company’s Ulaan Ovoo coal mine and will pay the Company US$2.00 (the “Production Royalty”) for every tonne of coal shipped from the Ulaan Ovoo site premises. The Lessee paid the Company US$100,000 in cash (recorded as other income on the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss)) as a non-refundable advance royalty payment and is preparing, at its own and sole expense, to restart and operate the Ulaan Ovoo mine with its own equipment, supplies, housing and crew.

The Lease is valid for 3 years with an annual advance royalty payment (“ARP”) for the first year of US$100,000 which was due and paid upon signing, and US$150,000 and US$200,000 due on the 1st and 2nd anniversary of the Lease, respectively. The ARP can be credited towards the US$2.00 per tonne Production Royalty payments to be made to the Company as the Lessee starts to sell Ulaan Ovoo coal. The 3-year Lease will be extended upon mutual agreement and negotiations are in process as at the audit report date.

As at December 31, 2020, the first and second anniversary payments due had not been collected and the Company recorded a full provision in the amount of $470,278 (US$350,000) due to uncertainty of their collection. As at December 31, 2021, the Company had collected an additional $81,321 (US $64,504) and recorded a recovery of accounts receivable (Note 10).

The impaired value of $Nil for deferred development costs at Ulaan Ovoo property at December 31, 2021 (2020, 2019 - $Nil) remains unchanged.

Pulacayo Project, Bolivia

The Company holds an interest in the Pulacayo Paca silver-lead-zinc project in Bolivia (the "Pulacayo Project").

The Pulacayo Project mining rights are recognized by two legally independent contractual arrangements, one covering all, except the Apuradita deposit, from a mining production contract (the "Pulacayo MPC") between the Company and the Corporación Minera de Bolivia ("COMIBOL"), a Bolivian state mining company, and the original holder of the rights, executed on October 3, 2019. The Pulacayo MPC grants the Company the 100% exclusive right to develop and mine at the Pulacayo and Paca concessions for up to 30 years against certain royalty payments. In connection with the Apuradita deposit, its rights are covered by a second contractual arrangement, with the Bolivian Jurisdictional Mining Authority, acting for the Government of Bolivia, which is in process of formalization, as a mean of recognition of the acquired rights to what was originally the mining concession. Until such time as the contract is formalized, all mining rights, as recognized in the Bolivian Mining Law 535, can be exercised by the holder of the ex-concession.

Pursuant to the Pulacayo MPC, ASC Bolivia LDC Sucursal Bolivia (“ASC”), a subsidiary of the Company, has committed to pay monthly rent of US$1,000 to COMIBOL and US$1,500 monthly rent to the Pulacayo Ltda. Mining Cooperative until the Pulacayo Project starts commercial production.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company assessed whether there was any indication that the previously recognized impairment loss in connection with the Pulacayo Paca property may no longer exist or may have decreased. The Company noted the following indications that the impairment may no longer exist:

· the Company signed a mining production contract granting the Company the 100% exclusive right to develop and mine at the Pulacayo Paca property;

· the Company renewed its exploration focus to develop the Pulacayo Paca property in the current year;

· the Company re-initiated active exploration and drilling program on the property;

· the Company completed a positive final settlement of Bolivian tax dispute.

As the Company identified indications that the impairment may no longer exist, the Company completed an assessment to determine the recoverable amount of the Pulacayo Paca property. In order to estimate the fair-value of the property the Company engaged a third-party valuation consultant and also utilized level 3 inputs on the fair value hierarchy to estimate the recoverable amount based on the property’s fair value less costs of disposal determined with reference to dollars per unit of metal in-situ. With reference to metal in-situ, the Company applied US$0.79 per ounce of silver resource to its 36.8 million ounces of silver resources and US$0.0136 per pound of zinc or lead in resource to its 303 million pounds of zinc and lead.

The Company also considered data derived from properties similar to the Pulacayo Paca Property. The data consisted of property transactions and market valuations of companies holding comparable properties, adjusted to reflect the possible impact of factors such as location, political jurisdiction, commodity, geology, mineralization, stage of exploration, resources, infrastructure and property size.

As the recoverable amount estimated with respect to the above was $31.4 million an impairment recovery of $13,708,200 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Gibellini Project, Nevada, United States

The Gibellini Project consists of a total of 587 unpatented lode mining claims that includes: the Gibellini group of 40 claims, the VC Exploration group of 105 claims, the Bisoni group of 201 claims and the Company group of 241 claims. All the claims are located in Eureka County, Nevada, USA.

Gibellini Group

The Gibellini group of claims were acquired on June 22, 2017, through leasehold assignments from the claimant and then-holder of the Gibellini mineral claims (the “GibelliniLessor”). Under the Gibellini mineral lease agreement (the “Gibellini MLA”), the Company leased this core group of claims, which originally constituted the entire Gibellini Project, by, among other things, agreeing to pay to the Gibellini Lessor annual advance royalty payments. These payments are tied, based on an agreed formula not to exceed US$120,000 per year, to the average vanadium pentoxide price of the prior year (each an "Advance Royalty Payment"). Upon commencement of production, the obligation to make Advance Royalty Payments will cease and the Company will instead maintain its acquisition through lease of the Gibellini group of claims by paying to the Gibellini Lessor, a 2.5% net smelter return royalty (the “Gibellini NSR Payments”) until a total of US$3 million is paid. Thereafter, the Gibellini NSR will be reduced to 2% over the remaining life of the mine (and referred to thereafter, as “Production Royalty Payments”). Upon commencement of production, any Advance Royalty Payments that have been made will be deducted as credits against the Gibellini NSR Payments or Production Royalty Payments, as applicable. The lease is for a term of 10 years, expiring on June 22, 2027, which can be extended for an additional 10 years, at the Company’s option.

On April 19, 2018, the Gibellini MLA was amended to grant the Company the option, at any time during the term of the Gibellini MLA, which ends on June 22, 2027, to require the Gibellini Lessor to transfer their title over all of the leased mining claims (excluding four claims which will be retained by the Gibellini Lessor) (the "Transferred Claims") to the Company in exchange for US$1,000,000, which will be deemed an Advance Royalty Payment (the “Transfer Payment”). A credit of US$99,027 in favour of the Company towards the Transfer Payment was paid upon the execution of the amendment, with a remaining balance of US$900,973 on the Transfer Payment due and payable by the Company to the Gibellini Lessor upon completion of transfer of the Transferred Claims from the Gibellini Lessor to the Company. The Advance Royalty Payment obligation and Production Royalty Payments will not be affected, reduced or relieved by the transfer of title.

On June 22, 2021, the Company paid US$50,000 (2020 – US$50,000, 2019 – US$120,000) of the Advance Royalty Payment to the Gibellini Lessor.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company expanded the land position at the Gibellini Project, by staking a total of 46 new claims immediately adjacent to the Gibellini Project.

The Bisoni Group

On September 18, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the Bisoni vanadium property situated immediately southwest of the Gibellini Project pursuant to anasset purchase agreement (the “Bisoni APA”) dated August 18, 2020, with Cellcube Energy Storage Systems Inc. (“Cellcube”). The Bisoni property comprised of 201 lode mining claims. As consideration for the acquisition of the Bisoni property under the Bisoni APA, the Company issued 4 million Common Shares (the “Bisoni APA Shares”) and paid $200,000 cash to Cellcube. Additionally, subject to TSX approval, if, on or before December 31, 2023, the price of European vanadium pentoxide on the Metal Bulletin (or an equivalent publication) exceeds US$12 a pound for 30 consecutive days, the Company will issue to Cellcube additional Common Shares with a value of $500,000 calculated based upon the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares immediately following the satisfaction of the vanadium pentoxide pricing condition.

Gibellini Project, Nevada, United States (cont’d…)

VC Exploration Group

The Company entered into a lease agreement to acquire 10 unpatented lode claims totaling approximately 207 gross acres (the “Former Louie Hill Claims”) from their holders (the “Former Louie Hill Lessors”) on July 10, 2017 (the “Louie Hill MLA”). The Former Louie Hill Claims were located approximately 1600 feet south of the Gibellini group of claims. The Former Louie Hill Claims were subsequently abandoned by the Former Louie Hill Lessors, and on March 11 and 12, 2018, the Company staked the area within and under 17 newclaims totaling approximately 340 gross acres, which now collectively comprise the expanded Louie Hill group of claims (the “Current Louie Hill Claims”).

On October 22, 2018, the Company entered into a royalty agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with the Former Louie Hill Lessors that replaced, on substantially similar terms, the Louie Hill MLA. The Royalty Agreement provides for the Company to pay the following royalties to the Former Louie Hill Lessors as an advance royalty: (i) US$75,000 upon the Company achieving Commercial Production (as defined in the Royalty Agreement) at the Gibellini Project; (ii) US$50,000 upon the Company selling, conveying, transferring or assigning all or any portion of certain claims defined in the Royalty Agreement to any third party and (iii) annually upon the anniversary date of July 10, 2018, and the anniversary date of each year thereafter during the term of the Royalty Agreement: (a) if the average vanadium pentoxide price per pound as quoted on www.metalbulletin.com(the “Metal Bulletin”) or another reliable and reputable industry source as agreed by the parties, remains below US$7.00/lb during the preceding 12 months, US$12,500; or (b) if the average vanadium pentoxide price per pound as quoted on Metal Bulletin or another reliable and reputable industry source as agreed by the parties, remains equal to or above US$7.00/lb during the preceding 12 months, US$2,000 x average vanadium pentoxide price per pound up to a maximum annual advance royalty payment of US$28,000.

Further, the Company will pay to the Former Louie Hill Lessors a 2.5% net smelter return royalty (the “Louie Hill NSR”) payable on vanadium pentoxide produced from the area of the Former Louie Hill Claims contained within the Current Louie Hill Claims. The Company may purchase three-fifths of the Louie Hill NSR at any time for US$1,000,000, leaving the total Louie Hill NSR payable by the Company at 1.0% for the remaining life of the mine. Any Louie Hill Advance Royalty Payments that have been made at the time of Commercial Production will be deducted as credits against future payments under the Louie Hill NSR. The payments under the Royalty Agreement will continue for an indefinite period and will be payable as long as the Company, its subsidiaries, or any of their permitted successors or assigns holds a valid and enforceable mining concession over the area.

On July 7, 2021, the Company paid US$12,500 (2020 – US$12,500, 2019 - $28,000) comprising the Louie Hill Advance Royalty Payment to the Former Louie Hill Lessors.

The Company Group

During 2017 and 2018, the Company expanded the land position at the Gibellini Project, by staking a total of 209 new claims immediately adjacent to the Gibellini Project covering 4091 acres.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into the Arrangement agreement with Nevada Vanadium Mining Corp. and transferred the property to held for sale (Note 7).

Sunawayo Project, Bolivia

On September 7, 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding sales and purchase agreement (the “Sunawayo SPA”) with a private party (the “Sunawayo Vendor”) to acquire the Sunawayo silver-lead mining project (the “Sunawayo Project”). Subject to the provisions of the Sunawayo SPA, the Sunawayo Vendor agreed to irrevocably transfer the mining rights of the Sunawayo Project to the Company for consideration of US$6,500,000, which payment consists of US$300,000 paid on execution of the Sunawayo SPA, with the remaining US$6,200,000 to be paid in cash over a one-year period in twelve equal monthly installments, starting March 1, 2021

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company suspended the Sunawayo property installment payments pending verification of the status of Sunawayo title and environmental permit (held by the Sunawayo Vendor) with authorities. The Company has notified the Sunawayo Vendor of their breach of certain disclosure representations in the Sunawayo SPA. To date, the Company has made one payment totaling US$300,000 and has no further contractual obligations unless it wishes to pursue the SPA further to acquire Sunawayo. As such, the Company has determined there is an indicator of potential impairment of the carrying value of the Sunawayo property as the option agreement is no longer in good standing. As a result, in accordance with IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources and IAS 36, Impairment of Assets, at December 31, 2021, the Company assessed the recoverable amount of the Sunawayo property exploration costs and determined that its value in use is $nil. As at December 31, 2021, the recoverable amount of $nil resulted in an impairment charge of $1,278,817 against the value of the deferred exploration costs, which was reflected on the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Triunfo Project, Bolivia

On July 13, 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement (the “Triunfo Agreement”) with a private party (the “Triunfo Vendor”) for the right to conduct mining exploration activities (the “Exploration Right”) within the El Triunfo gold-silver-lead-zinc project in La Paz District, Bolivia (the “Triunfo Project”) and the right, at the Company’s election, to purchase the Triunfo Project for US$1,000,000 (the “Purchase Right”) and together with the Exploration Right, the “Triunfo Rights”). The Purchase Right can be exercised at any time after the Triunfo Vendor completes the required Bolivian administrative procedures for the Triunfo Project until July 13, 2025 or such further period as the parties may agree. To secure the Triunfo Rights, the Company paid the Triunfo Vendor US$100,000 upon execution of the Triunfo Agreement. Until the Company exercises its Purchase Right, beginning in 2021 the Company must pay the Triunfo Vendor US$50,000 on June 15 of each year to maintain the Triunfo Rights. The Company may elect to terminate the Triunfo Agreement at any time. If the Company exercises the Purchase Right, the Triunfo Vendor will maintain up to a 5% interest of the profits, net of taxes and royalties, derived from the sale of concentrate produced from the Triunfo Project (the “Residual Interest”).

On June 15, 2021, the Company paid US$50,000 to maintain their Purchase Right to the Triunfo Vendor.

If the Company exercises the Purchase Right, the Company may reduce some or all of the Residual Interest at any time by making a lump sum payment to the Triunfo Vendor at any time to reduce some or all of the Residual Interest as follows:

· the Residual Interest may be extinguished for US$300,000;

· the Residual Interest may be reduced by 4% for US$250,000;

· the Residual Interest may be reduced by 3% for US$200,000;

· the Residual Interest may be reduced by 2% for US$150,000; or

· the Residual Interest may be reduced by 1% for US$100,000.

Minago Project, Canada

On February 10, 2021, the Company acquiredthe Minago Nickel Project located in Manitoba, Canada (the “Minago Project”) (the “Minago Acquisition) by way of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Victory Nickel Inc. (“Victory Nickel”).

Immediately prior to acquiring the Minago Project, the Company acquired a Secured Debt Facility (the “SDF”) owed by Victory Nickel to an arms-length third party for $8,505,749 (US$6,675,000) in cash and 300,000 of the Company’s common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) valued at $886,545 from an arms-length party pursuant to a Debt Purchase and Assignment Agreement (the “DPAA”) executed on January 15, 2021. The Warrants were each exercisable until February 8, 2023 at an exercise price of $4.76 (Note 20). The SDF has been restructured to bear zero percent interest and to expire on February 8, 2026, and will automatically be extended in 5-year increments. The Company will credit the remaining balance under the SDF to Victory Nickel’s benefit, upon completion of an independent economic study proving positive net present value in respect of the Minago Project during the term of the SDF. The SDF of US $6,675,000 has not been recognized as a receivable as this has been treated as a contingent asset as the timing of the receipt of these funds is not virtually certain. The Company will only recognize the asset when receipt is virtually certain. The Company agreed to reimburse up to $200,000 of financial advisory services rendered by Red Cloud Securities Inc. (“Red Cloud”).

Under the terms of the APA, the Company acquired the Minago Project for aggregate consideration of $16,011,151 (US$11,675,000), which consisted of a $8,505,749 (US$6,675,000) (“Property Payment”) credit against the SDF owed by Victory Nickel to the Company at closing, $886,545 of warrants issued with respect to the SDF, $6,231,673 (US$5,000,000) in the Company common shares (“Consideration Shares”) to be issued over a one-year period (issued), $200,000 in cash paid to Red Cloud and $187,200 in cash transaction costs.

Additionally, the Company agreed to issue to Victory Nickel $2,000,000 in Common Shares, upon the price of nickel exceeding US$10 per pound for 30 consecutive business days, at any time before December 31, 2023 – see events after the reporting date (Note 29). The Company granted Victory Nickel the right of first refusal exercisable until December 31, 2023, with respect to the exploration of the sandstone (non-nickel bearing sulphides) resources for frac sand extraction at the Minago Project.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into the Arrangement agreement with Flying Nickel Mining Corp. and transferred the property to held for sale (Note 7).

18. PROVISION FOR CLOSURE AND RECLAMATION

The Company’s closure and reclamation costs consists of costs accrued based on the current best estimate of mine closure and reclamation activities that will be required at the Ulaan Ovoo site upon completion of mining activity. These activities include costs for earthworks, including land re-contouring and re-vegetation, water treatment and demolition. The Company’s provision for future site closure and reclamation costs is based on the level of known disturbance at the reporting date, known legal requirements and estimates prepared by a third-party specialist.

It is not currently possible to estimate the impact on operating results, if any, of future legislative or regulatory developments.

Management used a risk-free interest rate of 1.68% (2020 – 1.14%, 2019 – 1.72%) and a risk premium of 8.55% (2020 – 8.66%, 2019 – 7%) in preparing the Company’s provision for closure and reclamation. Although the ultimate amount of reclamation costs to be incurred cannot be predicted with certainty, the total undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows required to settle the Company’s estimated obligations is $14,294,000 (2020 - $4,951,000, 2019 - $444,000) over the next 20 years. The cash expenditures are expected to occur over a period of time extending several years after the projected mine closure of the mineral properties.

19. TAX PROVISION

The Company’s operations are, in part, subject to foreign tax laws where interpretations, regulations and legislation are complex and continually changing. As a result, there are usually some tax matters in question that may, upon resolution in the future, result in adjustments to the amount of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and those adjustments may be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

A reconciliation of income taxes at statutory rates with the reported taxes is as follows:

	2021			2020			2019
Income (loss) for the year	$	(6,829,714	)	$	(4,626,887	)		17,513,854

In September 2017, the British Columbia (BC) Government proposed changes to the general corporate income tax rate to increase the rate from 11% to 12% effective January 1, 2018 and onwards. This change in tax rate was substantively enacted on October 26, 2017. The relevant deferred tax balances have been remeasured to reflect the increase in the Company's combined Federal and Provincial (BC) general corporate income tax rate from 26% to 27%.

The significant components of the Company’s temporary differences, unused tax credits and unused tax losses that have not been included on the consolidated statement of financial position are as follows:

Share-based payment expenses resulting from stock options are amortized over the corresponding vesting periods. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the share-based payment expenses were calculated using the following weighted average assumptions:

	Year ended December 31
	2021			2020			2019
Risk-free interest rate		1.46	%		1.46	%		1.54	%
Expected life of options in years		4.54			4.06			4.5
Expected volatility		105.91	%		132.74	%		132.75	%
Expected dividend yield	Nil			Nil			Nil
Expected forfeiture rate		12	%		12	%		12	%
Weighted average fair value of options granted during the period	$	2.01		$	3.00		$	3.10

The expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s shares. The expected forfeiture rate is based on the historical forfeitures of options issued.

Share-based payments charged to operations and assets were allocated between deferred mineral properties, and general and administrative expenses. Share-based payments are allocated between being either capitalized to deferred exploration costs where related to mineral properties or expensed as general and administrative expenses where otherwise related to the general operations of the Company.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, share-based payments were recorded as follows:

· each FT Subscription Receipt shall be automatically converted into one common share of Flying Nickel to be issued as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a “FT Share”).

Each Unit will consist of one common share of Flying Nickel (each a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share of Flying Nickel (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $1.00 at any time on or before November 29, 2023.

22. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Management considers its capital structure to consist of share capital, share purchase options and warrants.

23. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value hierarchy

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means; and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy.

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial assets
Cash, December 31, 2021	$	579,508	$	-	$	-
Cash, December 30, 2020	$	7,608,149	$	-	$	-
Cash, December 31, 2019	$	3,017,704	$	-	$	-

Categories of financial instruments

The Company considers that the carrying amount of all its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost approximates their fair value due to their short term nature. Restricted cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the nature of the instrument. The Company does not offset financial assets with financial liabilities. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are categorized as follows:

	December 31,
	2021		2020		2019
Fair value through profit or loss
Cash	$	579,508	$	7,608,149	$	3,017,704

As at December 31, 2021	$	2,502,139	$	-	$	2,502,139
As at December 31, 2020	$	1,759,163	$	-	$	1,759,163

(b) 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 Company is exposed to credit risk primarily associated to cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents and receivables, net of allowances. The carrying amount of financial assets included on the statements of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.

(c) Market risk

(i) 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 cash and restricted cash equivalents primarily include highly liquid investments that earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity. Due to the short‐ term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have significant impact on the fair values of the financial instruments as of December 31, 2021. The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy that focuses primarily on preservation of capital and liquidity.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company has exploration and development projects in Mongolia and Bolivia and undertakes transactions in various foreign currencies. The Company is therefore exposed to foreign currency risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency and the translation of financial instruments denominated in US dollars, Mongolian tugrik, and Bolivian boliviano into its functional and reporting currency, the Canadian dollar.

24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURES (cont’d...)

(d) Market risk (cont’d...)

(ii) Foreign currency risk (cont’d...)

Based on the above, net exposures as at December 31, 2021, with other variables unchanged, a 10% strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Mongolian tugrik would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $88,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the Bolivian boliviano would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $52,000. A 10% strengthening (weakening) of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would impact net loss with other variables unchanged by $4,000. The Company currently does not use any foreign exchange contracts to hedge this currency risk.

(iii) Commodity and equity price risk

Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. Commodity prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The supply and demand for these commodities, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, investment decisions by large holders of commodities including governmental reserves and stability of exchange rates can all cause significant fluctuations in prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns and monetary systems and political developments. The Company is also exposed to price risk with regards to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market.

The Company closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. Fluctuations in value may be significant.
