Nature of Business (continued)

On October 24, 2017, the Company entered into an Option Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in 4 mineral claims comprising the Kathleen Mountain Property located in the Princeton Mining Division in the Province of British Columbia, The Kathleen Mountain Property is the sole property of the Company. During the year-ended April 30, 2019, management determined that the property was not viable and terminated the Option Agreement and, as a result, the acquisitions costs and exploration costs in the amount of $435,378 were written off.

On January 16, 2019, pursuant to a definitive share exchange agreement dated December 17, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Northbase Resources Inc. a private British Columbia company which controls a district-scale (20,265 hectare) land package known as the Blueberry Property in the Babine porphyry copper district in central British Columbia. Under the terms of the acquisition, the holders of Northbase shares received one common share of the Company in exchange for each Northbase share held. The Company issued an aggregate 9,100,001 common shares in connection with the acquisition at a fair value of $0.15 per common share.

On November 5, 2019, the Company closed a share purchase agreement to acquire the options to consolidated mineral rights, infrastructure and processing facilities in the Panuco- Copala property via the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Canam Alpine Ventures Ltd. ("Canam").

The Company has never generated revenue or positive cash flows from operations.

See" Kathleen Mountain Property, Princeton Mining Division, British Columbia" and Northbase Resources Inc.

In light of the continually changing financial markets, there is no assurance that funding by equity subscriptions will be possible at the times required or for the amounts desired or that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company and its shareholders.

IFRS 16 Leases

On January 13, 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board published a new standard, IFRS 16, Leases, eliminating the current dual accounting model for lessees, which distinguishes between on-balance sheet finance leases and off-balance sheet operating leases. Under the new standard, a lease becomes an on-balance sheet liability that attracts interest, together with a new right-of-use asset. In addition, lessees will recognize a front-loaded pattern of expense for most leases, even when cash rentals are constant. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company adopted IFRS 16 effective from May 1, 2019 using modified retrospective approach. The adoption does not have impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Amendments)

In October 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook - Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in November 2017, to address the classification of certain prepayable financial assets.

The amendments clarify that a financial asset that would otherwise have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest but do not meet that condition only as a result of a prepayment feature with negative compensation may be eligible to be measured at either amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. This classification is subject to the assessment of the business model in which the particular financial asset is held as well as consideration of whether certain eligibility conditions are met. The amendments are adopted on May 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

The Company adopted IFRIC 23 on May 1, 2019 with retrospective application. IFRIC 23 clarifies the recognition and measurement requirements when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The effect of uncertain tax treatments is recognized at the most likely amount or expected value. The adoption of IFRIC 23 did not have any impact on the Company's financial results or disclosures.

1.14 - Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company applied the following fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value into three levels:

The three levels are defined as follows:

 Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 Level 2 - inputs to valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company's financial instruments are cash, due from related parties, loan receivable, due to related parties and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. All these financial instruments are carried on the consolidated statements of financial position at amortized cost. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not meet its financial obligations as they become due. Refer to Note 1 for further details related to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at April 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $2,583,910 to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties of $142,915. All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Historically, the Company's sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company's access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Company. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties. The carrying amounts of financial assets best represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the reporting date. Cash is held with reputable banks in Canada. The long-term credit rating of these banks, as determined by Standard and Poor's, was A+.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An immaterial amount of interest rate exposure exists in respect of cash balances on the statement of financial position. As a result, the Company is not exposed to material cash flow interest rate risk on its cash balances.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar, United States dollar, and Mexican Peso will affect the Company's operations and financial results. The Company and its subsidiaries do not hold significant monetary assets or liabilities in currencies other than their functional currency and as a result, the Company is not exposed to significant currency risk.

RISK FACTORS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and, if warranted, developing and exploiting natural resource properties, currently in British Columbia, Canada. Due to the nature of the Company's business and the present stage of exploration of its mineral properties (which are primarily early stage exploration properties with no known resources or reserves), many risk factors will apply. The risks described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks not presently known to the Company may also impair the business operations.

Going Concern and Financing Risks

The Company has limited financial resources, has no source of operating cash flow and has no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects or to fulfill its obligations under any applicable agreements. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its projects with the possible loss of such properties.

Insufficient Financial Resources

The Company does not presently have sufficient financial resources to meet obligations when they become due, undertake by itself the acquisition, exploration and development of all of its planned acquisition, exploration and development programs. Future property acquisitions and the development of the Company's properties will therefore depend upon the Company's ability to obtain financing through the joint venturing of projects, private placement financing, public financing, short or long term borrowings or other means. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the required financing. Failure to raise the required funds could result in the Company losing, or being required to dispose of, its interest in its properties.

General Economic Conditions

The recent events in global financial markets have had a profound impact on the global economy. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates, and tax rates may adversely affect the Company's growth and profitability. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Share Price Volatility

There can be no assurance that an active trading market in our securities will be established and sustained. The market price for our securities could be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as commodity prices, government regulation, interest rates, share price movements of our peer companies and competitors, as well as overall market movements, may have a significant impact on the market price of the securities of our Company. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, particularly in the mining sector, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.

Dependence on Others and Key Personnel

The success of the Company's operations will depend upon numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, including (i) the ability to design and carry out appropriate exploration programs on its mineral properties; (ii) the ability to produce minerals from any mineral deposits that may be located; (iii) the ability to attract and retain additional key personnel in exploration, marketing, mine development and finance; and (iv) the ability and the operating resources to develop and maintain the properties held by the Company. There can be no assurance of success with any or all of these factors on which the Company's operations will depend, or that the Company will be successful in finding and retaining the necessary employees, personnel and/or consultants in order to be able to successfully carry out such activities.

Government Regulation

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to prospecting, development, production, environmental protection, mining taxes, labor standards, 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. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company.

Competition

The Company's business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties is intensely competitive. The Company may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring additional mining properties because it must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than the Company. Increased competition could adversely affect the Company's ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.

Fluctuation of Metal Prices

Even if commercial quantities of mineral deposits are discovered by the Company, there is no guarantee that a profitable market will exist for the sale of the metals produced. There can be no assurance that the price of any commodities will be such that any of the properties in which the Company has, or has the right to acquire, an interest may be mined at a profit.

Title Matters

Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to the mineral properties in which it has or has a right to acquire an interest in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee title (whether of the Company or of any underlying vendor(s) from whom the Company may be acquiring its interest). Title to mineral properties may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and may also be affected by undetected defects or the rights of indigenous peoples. Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties for which titles have been issued are in good standing.

Uncertainty of Resource Estimates/Reserve

Unless otherwise indicated, mineralization figures presented in the Company's filings with securities regulatory authorities, press releases and other public statements that may be made from time to time are based upon estimates made by Company personnel and independent geologists. These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable.

Limited Experience

The Company has very limited experience in placing mineral resource properties into production, and its ability to do so will be dependent upon using the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreements with other major resource companies that can provide such expertise. There can be no assurance that the Company will have available to it the necessary expertise when and if it places its resource properties into production.

Speculative Business

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in size to return a profit from production. The marketability of natural resources that may be acquired or discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. There is no known resource, and there are no known reserves, on any of the Company's properties.

Permits and Licenses

The operations of the Company will require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out its projects, on reasonable terms or at all. Delays, or a failure to obtain such licenses and permits, or a failure to comply with the terms of any such licenses and permits that the Company does obtain, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Dilution to the Company's Existing Shareholders

The Company will require additional equity financing to be raised in the future. The Company may issue securities at less than favorable terms to raise sufficient capital to fund its business plan. Any transaction involving the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into common shares would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to present and prospective holders of common shares.
