Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies |
2. | BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
| (a) | Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 could result in restatement of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
| (b) | Basis of Preparation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified by the revaluation of any financial assets and financial liabilities where applicable. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
| (c) | Basis of consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, North American Nickel (US) Inc. which was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 22, 2015 as well as NAN Exploration Inc. which was incorporated in Ontario on November 15, 2018. Consolidation is required when the Company is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation.
