Three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
1.
Nature of operations
Auryn Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Auryn”) was incorporated on June 9, 2008, under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. The head office and principal address of Auryn is located at 1199 West Hastings Street, Suite 600, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3T5.
The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol AUG.TO, and on the NYSE-American under the symbol AUG. The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties in Canada and Peru.
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns the mineral concessions comprising the Committee Bay and Gibson MacQuoid mineral properties both located in Nunavut, Canada (note 3 (b)), as well as the Homestake Ridge Project in northwestern British Columbia, Canada (note 3 (c)). The Company has also secured rights to various mining concessions in southern Peru (note 3 (a)) which include the Sombrero, Curibaya and Huilacollo projects.
As a company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, Auryn does not generate revenues and thus finances its activities through equity and debt financings. The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The Company’s mineral property interests recorded on its statement of financial position reflect historical acquisition costs incurred, and while the carrying values are assessed at each reporting period for indicators of impairment, their recoverability is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to continue exploration and development of these assets, and ultimately on future profitable operations or the sale of such mineral properties.
At September 30, 2019, the Company has a working capital deficit of $188 (December 31, 2018 - working capital of $1,460) and an accumulated deficit of $99,560 (December 31, 2018 - $88,671). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Auryn incurred losses of $3,918 and $10,889, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 - $7,488 and $15,323, respectively) and expects to continue to incur operating losses in relation to exploration activities. With no source of operating cash flow, there is no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its mineral properties. As at September 30, 2019, the second $3,000 tranche of the Bridge Loan (see note 5) remains available to the Company; however, the ability to continue as a going concern remains dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to continue to fund its mineral properties through the issuance of capital stock, the realization of future profitable production and/or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral interests. These conditions create a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management plans to continue to secure the necessary financing through a combination of equity financing and/or disposition of mineral properties and may elect to draw on the second tranche of the Bridge Loan if necessary in the short term as there is no assurance that other forms of financing will be successful. These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its commitments, continue operations and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

Basis of presentation
(a)
Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies followed in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 except as follows:
●
Leases
In January 2016, the IASB published a new accounting standard, IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16") which supersedes IAS 17 - Leases. IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether the customer controls the asset. Control is considered to exist if the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset and the right to direct the use of that asset during the term of the lease. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the accounting by lessees, introducing a single, on balance sheet accounting model that is similar to the current finance lease accounting, with limited exceptions for short-term leases or leases of low value assets.
The Company has made the following elections under IFRS 16:
●
to apply the available exemptions as permitted by IFRS 16 to recognize a lease expense on a straight-line basis for short term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and low value assets; and
●
to apply the practical expedient whereby leases whose term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application would be accounted for in the same way as short-term leases.
The adoption of IFRS 16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Due to the seasonality of the Company’s exploration programs, its exploration and other contracts are short-term in nature and therefore are exempt from the recognition provisions of IFRS 16.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, which were filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 12, 2019.

Basis of presentation (continued)
(b)
Basis of preparation and consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for marketable securities that have been measured at fair value. The presentation currency is the Canadian dollar; therefore, all amounts, with the exception of per share amounts, are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, exposure or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the Company’s returns.

Subsidiary | Place of incorporation | Functional Currency | Beneficial Interest
North Country Gold Corp. (“North Country”) | BC, Canada | CAD | 100%
Homestake Resource Corporation (“Homestake”) | BC, Canada | CAD | 100%
Corisur Peru, S.A.C. (“Corisur”) | Peru | USD | 100%
Sombrero Minerales, S.A.C. (“Sombrero”) | Peru | USD | 100%
Homestake Royalty Corporation (inactive) | BC, Canada | CAD | 100%

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
(c)
Critical accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that may have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates. The Company’s critical accounting judgments and estimates were presented in note 2 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. No new estimates and judgements were applied for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 except as discussed below:
i.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are assessed upon initial recognition to determine whether they meet the definition of a financial asset, financial liability or equity instrument depending on the substance of the contractual arrangement. Judgement is required in making this determination as the substance of a transaction may differ from its legal form. Once a determination is made, IFRS requires that financial instruments be measured at fair value on initial recognition. For financial instruments that do not have quoted market prices or observable inputs, judgements are made in determining what are appropriate inputs and assumptions to use in calculating the fair value.
Upon initial recognition of the Bridge Loan (note 5), management had to estimate the Company’s effective interest rate which was needed in order to fair value the debt component and determine the residual amount to be allocated to the warrants.

Mineral property interests
(a)
Peruvian exploration projects
Sombrero
The Sombrero copper-gold project, located in southern Peru, covers approximately 130,000 hectares acquired through a combination of staking and option agreements which are outlined below:
i.
Alturas Option
On June 28, 2016, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Alturas Option”) with Alturas Minerals Corp (“Alturas”) to acquire an 80% or 100% interest in the Sombrero concessions held by Alturas. In order to exercise the Alturas Option and acquire an 80% interest in the project, the Company must incur US$2.1 million in work expenditures within a five-year period. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has incurred US$1.7 million in work expenditures and made cash payments totalling US$0.2 million to Alturas. Upon the Company’s completion of the requirements to earn an 80% interest in the Sombrero Project, the parties shall form a 80:20 Joint Venture. For a period of one year after the formation of the Joint Venture, Alturas’ 20% interest shall be “free carried” and the Company shall have a right to acquire the Alturas 20% interest for US$5.0 million.
ii.
Mollecruz Option
On June 22, 2018 the Company entered an option agreement (the “Mollecruz Option”) giving the Company the right to acquire a 100% interest in the Mollecruz concessions which are located in the northern area of the Sombrero project. Under the Mollecruz Option, the Company may acquire a 100% interest, subject to a 0.5% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”), through a combination of work expenditures and cash payments as detailed below.

* Effective May 20, 2019, the Company formally declared the existence of a force majeure event under the Mollecruz Option thereby deferring the Company’s obligation to make the June 22, 2019 property payment and any subsequent property payments and work expenditures for a maximum of 24 months from the declaration date. To date, the Company has not been able to reach an access agreement with the local community in order to commence work in the region but has continued to have open communications with the community and continues to negotiate in good faith to obtain access to the property.
iii.
Aceros Option
On December 13, 2018, the Company entered a series of agreements (the “Aceros Option”) with Corporacion Aceros Arequipa S.A. (“Aceros”) giving the Company the right to option three key mineral concessions located within the Company’s Sombrero project. If the Aceros Option is exercised, a joint venture would be formed in which the Company would hold an 80% interest (Aceros – 20%). The joint venture would combine the 530 hectare Aceros concessions plus 4,600 hectares of Auryn’s Sombrero land position. Below is a schedule of work expenditures and cash payments required under the agreement of which US$0.3 million in work expenditures has been completed to date.

Mineral property interests (continued)

Peruvian exploration projects (continued)
Curibaya
On August 2, 2019, the Company acquired the rights to the Sambalay and Salvador mineral concessions adjacent to its wholly owned Curibaya property in southern Peru. Collectively, the Curibaya project now covers approximately 11,000 hectares and is located 53 km from the provincial capital, Tacna, and 11km from the regional Incapuquio fault.
Under the terms of the mining concession transfer agreement with Wild Acre Metals (Peru) S.A.C., the Company paid US$250,000 on transfer of the concessions in favour of Corisur. The Sambalay concessions are subject to a combined 3% NSR royalty, 0.5% of which is buyable for US$1.0 million. The Salvador concessions are subject to a 2% NSR royalty and a US$2.0 million production payment, payable at the time a production decision is made, and to secure payment of such consideration a legal mortgage is recorded in the registry files of the Salvador concessions.
Huilacollo
On June 2, 2016, the Company acquired the rights to the Huilacollo epithermal property in the Tacna province of southern Peru, which is comprised of 2,000 hectares of intense hydrothermal alteration. The rights were acquired through an option agreement (the “Huilacollo Option”) with a local Peruvian company, Inversiones Sol S.A.C., under which the Company may acquire 100% interest (subject to a 1.5% NSR on precious metals buyable for US$2.5 million and a 2.5% NSR on base metals buyable for US$7.0 million) through a combination of work expenditures and cash payments as outlined in the table below. As of May 11, 2019, the Company had completed US$4.5 million of work expenditures under the Huilacollo Option and thus did not satisfy the accumulated work expenditure requirement of US$5.0 million at that date. As permitted by the Huilacollo Option, the Company instead made a cash payment of US$0.3 million equal to 50% of the shortfall at the due date to keep the option in good standing.

Due Dates | Payment & Work Expenditure Status | Property Payments (in ‘000 US$) | Work Expenditures (in ‘000 US$)
Effective Date (May 11, 2016) | Completed | 250 | -
May 11, 2018 | Completed | 500 | 2,000

May 11, 2022 |  | 7,500 | -
Total |  | 8,750 | 7,000

During 2017, the Company acquired the rights to certain mineral claims adjacent to the Huilacollo property known as Andamarca claims and Tacora claims. Under the terms of the acquisition agreements, the Company paid US$0.65 million on transfer of the concessions in favour of Corisur. The Andamarca concession is subject to a 1.5% NSR of which 50% is buyable for US$2.5 million and the Tacora concession is subject to a 0.5% NSR of which 50% is buyable for US$0.5 million.

Flow-through share premium liability
Flow-through shares are issued at a premium, calculated as the difference between the price of a flow-through share and the price of a common share at that date, as tax deductions generated by the eligible expenditures are passed through to the shareholders of the flow-through shares once the eligible expenditures are incurred and renounced.
On July 11, 2019, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement (the “July 2019 Flow-Through Offering”) for gross proceeds of $1,900 through the issuance of 633,334 flow-through shares (the “2019 Flow-Through Shares”) at a price of $3.00 per share (note 8(i)). The 2019 Flow-Through Shares were issued at a premium of $0.88 per share.
As at September 30, 2019, the Company has a flow-through share premium liability of $31 (December 31, 2018 - $317) which relates to funds remaining from the non-brokered flow-through private placement completed on July 11, 2019.
Below is a summary of the 2018 and 2019 flow-through financings and the related flow-through share premium liability generated by each financing:

| Shares issued | Flow-through share price | Premium per flow-through share | Flow-through premium liability
March 23, 2018* | 1,091,826 | $2.35 | $0.67 | $737

Bridge Loan
On September 12, 2019, the Company entered a bridge loan facility (the “Bridge Loan”) for up to $6,000 with a private lender (the “Lender”). The Bridge Loan consists of two tranches of $3,000, with the first having been received and the second being conditional upon the mutual agreement of the parties. The Bridge Loan bears interest at 10%, payable annually or on repayment of the principal, and has a term of one year from the date of advancement (the “Maturity Date”), however, can be repaid without penalty at any time after 90 days of advancement at the discretion of the Company. The Bridge Loan is secured by a first charge general security agreement over all of the Company’s present and future assets.
In connection with the Bridge Loan, the Company issued 500,000 bonus warrants to the Lender which have a term of three years from the date of issue. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of $2.00 per common share but cannot be exercised until after the Maturity Date.
The Bridge Loan has been identified as a compound instrument with separate components, being the debt and the warrants, which have been classified as a financial liability and an equity instrument, respectively.
On initial recognition, the proceeds from the Bridge Loan were allocated between the debt and equity components by first determining the fair value of the debt, discounted at an effective interest rate of 18%, and allocating the residual value, net of deferred taxes, to the equity component. Transaction costs of $21, were allocated proportionately to the debt and equity components.

Provision for site reclamation and closure
The Company recognizes a provision for site reclamation and closure, which reflects the present value of the estimated amount of cash flows required to satisfy the asset retirement obligation in respect of the Committee Bay property. The components of this obligation are the removal of equipment currently being used at the site as well as costs associated with the reclamation of the camp housing and work sites on the property. The estimate of future asset retirement obligations is subject to change based on amendments to applicable laws, management’s intentions, and mining lease renewals.
The key assumptions on which the present value of the future estimated cash flows is based are:
●
Undiscounted cash flow for site reclamation of $2,621 (December 31, 2018 - $2,545)
●
Expected timing of future cash flows is based on mining leases expiration, which is between 2026 and 2035
●
Annual inflation rate 2% (December 31, 2018 - 2%)
●
Risk-free interest rate 1.53% (December 31, 2018 - 2.41%)

Share-based payments (continued)
The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for all share-based payments to directors, officers, employees and other service providers. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 the Company recognized share-based compensation expense as follows:

| Three months ended September 30, | Nine months ended September 30,

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company granted 70,000 and 3,065,000 share options, respectively, to directors, officers, employees and other service providers. The weighted average fair value per option of these share options was calculated as $0.62 and $1.16, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the grant date.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted nil and 1,775,000 share options to directors, officers, employees and other service providers. The weighted average fair value per option of these share options was calculated as $0.75 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the grant date.
The fair value of the share-based options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:

| Three months ended September 30, | Nine months ended September 30,

Share price volatility | 53% | - | 62% | 67%
Expected forfeiture rate | 0% | - | 0% | 0%
Expected life in years | 3.30 | - | 4.32 | 4.36

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the Government of Canada benchmark bond yields and treasury bills with a remaining term that approximates the expected life of the share-based options. The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical and implied volatility of the Company’s common shares. The expected forfeiture rate and the expected life in years are based on historical trends.
(b)
Share purchase warrants
On September 12, 2019, the Company issued 500,000 bonus warrants in connection with the Bridge Loan (note 5). The warrants have a term of three years from the date of issue and each warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of $2.00 per common share, but cannot be exercised until after the Maturity Date. As the Bridge Loan was identified as a compound instrument with debt and equity components, the fair value of the share purchase warrants was determined as the residual value net of deferred taxes after the fair value of the debt component was determined (note 5).

Financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, marketable securities, amounts receivable, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and the Bridge Loan. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
The following summarizes fair value hierarchy under which the Company’s financial instruments are valued:
Level 1 – fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – fair values based on inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – fair values based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
As at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the only financial instruments measured at fair value were the Company’s marketable securities, which were classified under level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Bridge Loan, on initial recognition, was measured at fair value under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and was subsequently measured at amortized cost. No transfer occurred between the levels during the period.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risks, which include currency risk and interest rate risk. As at September 30, 2019 the primary risks were as follows:
Liquidity risk
This is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. As at September 30, 2019, the Company has a working capital deficit of $188 and will require additional capital to satisfy its current obligations (note 1).
Market risk
This is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are as follows:
(i)
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk by having balances and transactions in currencies that are different from its functional currency (the Canadian dollar). As at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the Company’s foreign currency exposure related to its financial assets and liabilities held in US dollars as follows:

| September 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018
Financial assets denominated in foreign currencies | $87 | $89
Financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies | (102) | (57)
Net exposure | $(15) | $32

A 10% increase or decrease in the US dollar exchange rate would not have a material impact on the Company’s net loss.
(ii) Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk arising from the effect of changes in market conditions on the Company’s marketable securities. The Company is exposed to other price risk through its investment in Bravada Gold Corporation (“BVA”), which is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.
A 10% increase or decrease in the BVA share price would not have a material impact on the Company’s net loss.
