Note 1: Nature of operations

 

Fury Gold Mines Limited (the “Company” or “Fury Gold”) was incorporated on June 9, 2008, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE American, with its common shares trading under the symbol FURY. The Company’s registered and records office is at 1500-1055 West Georgia Street Vancouver, BC, V6E 4N7 and the mailing address is 1630-1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 2K3.

 

The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of resource projects in Canada. At September 30, 2022, the Company had two principal projects: Eau Claire in Quebec, and Committee Bay in Nunavut. As well, the Company holds a 50.02% interest in the Éléonore South Joint Venture (“ESJV”).

 

Sale of Homestake Resources Corporation

 

On December 6, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (“Dolly Varden”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Dolly Varden a 100% interest in Fury Gold's wholly owned subsidiary, Homestake Resources Corporation (“Homestake Resources”) in exchange for $5,000 in cash and 76,504,590 common shares in Dolly Varden (the “Dolly Varden Shares”). Homestake Resources is the owner of a 100% interest in the Homestake Ridge gold-silver project which is located adjacent to the Dolly Varden Project owned by Dolly Varden in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia (the “Dolly Varden Transaction”). The Dolly Varden Transaction completed on February 25, 2022 (note 3). As a result, Fury acquired 76,504,590 common shares of Dolly Varden on February 25, 2022, representing approximately 35.3% of the Dolly Varden Shares outstanding as of the transaction date.

 

In connection with the Dolly Varden Transaction and as contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, Dolly Varden and Fury Gold have also entered into an investor rights agreement dated February 25, 2022 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to its obligations under the Investor Rights Agreement, Dolly Varden has appointed Forrester “Tim” Clark, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Fury Gold, and Michael Henrichsen, the Chief Geological Officer (“CGO”) of Fury Gold, to the board of directors of Dolly Varden.

 

On October 3, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into a non-brokered sale agreement to sell 17,000,000 common shares of Dolly Varden at $0.40 per share, representing approximately 7.4% of the outstanding common shares (note 4). The gross proceeds received by the Company upon close of the transaction on October 13, 2022, was $6,800. Following completion of the sale of the common shares of Dolly Varden, the Company holds a 25.8% interest in Dolly Varden.

 

Acquisition of 25% equity interest in Universal Mineral Services Ltd. (“UMS”)

 

On April 1, 2022, the Company purchased a 25% share interest in UMS, a private shared-services provider for nominal consideration (note 7). The remaining 75% of UMS is owned equally by three other junior resource issuers, namely Tier One Silver Inc, Coppernico Metals Inc, and Torq Resources Inc. who share a head office location in Vancouver, BC. Previously, UMS had been privately owned by a director in common, Mr. Ivan Bebek, then subsequently from January 1, 2022, by Mr. Steve Cook, another director in common, until March 31, 2022.

 

UMS is the private company through which its shareholders, including Fury Gold, share geological, financial, and transactional advisory services as well as administrative services on a full, cost recovery basis. Having these services available through UMS, on an as needed basis, allows the Company to maintain a more efficient and cost-effective corporate overhead structure by hiring fewer full-time employees and engaging outside professional advisory firms less frequently. The agreement has an indefinite term and can be terminated by either party upon providing 180 days notice. Many of the Company’s key personnel are now, or will be, directly employed by UMS and seconded to the Company and other members of the group.

Increase in ownership interest of ESJV and amended joint venture arrangement

 

On September 12, 2022, the Company and its joint operation partner Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”), through their respective subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of the remaining approximately 23.77% participating interest of Azimut Exploration Inc. in the ESJV, on a pro-rata basis. As a result of the transaction, the 100% ESJV participating interests are now held 50.02% by the Company and 49.98% by Newmont, with Fury Gold remaining operator under an amended and restated joint operating agreement.

 

Response to COVID-19

 

The situation in Canada regarding COVID-19 remains fluid and permitted activities continue to be subject to change. At the Company’s Eau Claire project in Quebec, on-site measures are in place for non-vaccinated employees to mitigate the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus. These measures include a pre-travel COVID-19 screening questionnaire; a pre-travel COVID-19 PCR testing; and on-site Rapid Testing for COVID-19.

 

Note 2: Basis of presentation

 

Statement of compliance

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “interim financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain disclosures included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements (the “annual financial statements”) prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRICs”) have been condensed or omitted herein. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

These interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 10, 2022.

 

Basis of preparation and consolidation

 

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value (note 15). All amounts are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Reference to US$ are to United States dollars. Certain prior year disclosures have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.

 

These 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. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.

(b) The Company acquired an additional 11% interest in ESJV on September 12, 2022 and entered into an amended and restated joint venture arrangement (note 1) which has resulted in ESJV being accounted for as a joint operation.

 

Segmented information

 

The Company’s operating segments are reviewed by the key decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral resource properties, and in one geographical location, Canada.

 

Critical accounting estimates, judgements, and policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that may have a significant impact on annual 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.

 

In preparing the Company’s interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company applied the significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates and judgements disclosed in notes 3 and 5, respectively, of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as noted below:

 

Asset held for sale

 

A non-current asset is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, and when the following criteria are met:

 

(a) The non-current asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; and

 

(b) The sale of the non-current asset is highly probable. For the sale to be highly probable: (i) the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset; (ii) an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated; (iii) the non-current asset must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; (iv) the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification as held for sale (with certain exceptions); and (v) actions required to complete the plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

 

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale from the date these criteria are met and are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”). If the FVLCD is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in net earnings.

Joint arrangement

 

The Company conducts a portion of its business through a joint arrangement where the parties are bound by contractual arrangements establishing joint control with decisions about the activities that significantly affect the returns of the investee requiring unanimous consent. A joint arrangement is classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture, subject to the terms that govern each investor's rights and obligations in the arrangement.

 

In a joint operation, the investor has rights and obligations to the separate assets and liabilities of the investee, therefore the Company recognizes its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses of the joint arrangement.

 

Investments in associates

 

The Company conducts a portion of its business through equity interests in associates. An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. The Company has significant influence when it has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associate but does not have control or joint control over those policy decisions.

 

The Company accounts for its investments in associates using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and subsequently increased or decreased to recognize the Company's share of earnings and losses of the associate, after any adjustments necessary to give effect to uniform accounting policies, and for impairment losses after the initial recognition date. The Company’s share of an associate’s losses that are in excess of its investment in the associate are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The Company's share of earnings and losses of its associate are recognized in net (earnings)/loss during the period.

 

New and amended standards not yet effective

 

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company has not early adopted any of these pronouncements, and they are not expected to have a significant impact in the foreseeable future on the Company's consolidated financial statements once adopted.

 

Note 3: Sale of Homestake Resources

 

On February 25, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Homestake Resources to Dolly Varden for cash proceeds of $5,000 and 76,504,590 common shares of Dolly Varden (note 7(a)).

 

The Company recognized a gain of $48,390, net of transaction costs of $589, on the date of disposition, calculated as follows:

The fair value of the common shares of Dolly Varden received on date of disposition is based on the market price of the shares at that date of $0.79.

 

The Company has sufficient non-capital losses to offset the capital gain arising on disposition of Homestake Resources. As such, there is $nil tax payable on the sale of Homestake Resources.

 

Note 4: Asset held for sale

 

On October 13, 2022, the Company completed the sale of 17,000,000 common shares of Dolly Varden, comprising 22.2% of the Company’s equity interest in Dolly Varden acquired as part of the disposition of Homestake Resources (note 3), for total gross proceeds of $6,800. At September 30, 2022, the sale was considered highly probable; therefore, the partial investment in associate represented by the 17,000,000 common shares was classified as an asset held for sale and presented separately within current assets.

 

In connection with this transaction, the Company remeasured the carrying amount of the shares held for sale as the lower of cost and FVLCD and recognized an impairment expense of $5,492 in respect of the disposal. A reconciliation of the impairment expense as at September 30, 2022 is as follows:

Upon disposition, the Company realized a loss of $311, representing the decline in market value from the deemed date of acquisition of the shares on October 9, 2020, as part of the acquisition of Eastmain to date of disposition.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company exercised 500,000 common share warrants at an exercise price of $0.12 in exchange for 500,000 common shares of Benz Mining.

 

Purchases and sales of marketable securities are accounted for as of the trade date.

Note 6: Mineral interests

 

The Company’s principal resource properties are located in Canada.

 

Quebec

 

The Company maintains interests in 12 properties within the James Bay region of Quebec. The principal projects are:

 

Eau Claire

 

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Eau Claire project located immediately north of the Eastmain reservoir, approximately 10 kilometres (“km”) northeast of Hydro Quebec’s EM-1 hydroelectric power facility, 80 km north of the town of Nemaska, 320 km northeast of the town of Matagami, and 800km north of Montreal, Quebec. The property consists of map-designated claims totaling approximately 23,000 hectares.  

 

Eastmain Mine

 

The Eastmain Mine project hosts the Eastmain Mine gold deposit. The past-producing Eastmain Mine project comprises 152 mineral claims and an industrial lease. Located on the eastern most part of the Upper Eastmain River Greenstone Belt of the James Bay District of northern Quebec, the property covers approximately 80 km2 of highly prospective terrain.

 

In 2019, Benz Mining entered into an option agreement with Eastmain to allow Benz Mining the option to earn a 75% interest in the Eastmain Mine property in return for making option payments of $2,320 between October 2019 and October 2023, and incurring exploration expenditures of $3,500 on the property. The option payments may be settled in both cash and shares. Upon completion of the first option to earn 75%, Benz Mining may acquire the remaining 25% interest upon payment of $1,000 upon closing of project financing, and $1,500 upon commencement of commercial production. This option agreement was subsequently amended in April 2020 to grant Benz Mining the option to earn up to 100% of the Ruby Hill properties located to the west of the Eastmain Mine project. The Company would retain 1-2% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalties pursuant to the amended agreement due annually in October.

 

ESJV

 

The ESJV project consists of two separate blocks of map-designated claims, comprising a total of 282 claims covering approximately 147 km2 of the Opinaca area of James Bay, Quebec. The Éléonore West block consists of 34 mineral claims covering approximately 18 km2, while the Éléonore South block contains 248 claims extending over an area of approximately 130 km2. The project is a joint operation and project ownership is based on participation in the funding of annual exploration programs. At September 30, 2022 the project was held by the partners approximately as follows: Fury Gold 50.022% and Newmont 49.978%. The Company is the operator of the project. 

 

Nunavut

 

Committee Bay

 

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary North Country, owns a 100% interest in the Committee Bay project located in Nunavut, Canada. The Committee Bay project includes approximately 280,000 hectares situated along the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located within the Western Churchill province of Nunavut. The Committee Bay project is subject to a 1.0% NSR royalty on gold production, with certain portions subject to an additional 1.5% NSR royalty. The 1.5% NSR royalty is payable on only 7,596 hectares and can be purchased by the Company within two years of commencement of commercial production for $2,000 for each one-third (0.5%) of the 1.5% NSR royalty.

Gibson MacQuoid

 

In 2017, the Company acquired a number of prospecting permits and mineral claims along the Gibson MacQuoid Greenstone Belt in Nunavut, Canada. In 2019, the Company staked additional claims, which overlapped the Company’s prospecting claims that expired in February 2020, to maintain a contiguous land package over the Company’s current areas of interest. The Company’s claims, which are located between the Meliadine deposit and Meadowbank mine, cover approximately 120km of strike length of the prospective greenstone belt and total 51,622 hectares collectively.

The outstanding balance owing at September 30, 2022, was $104 (December 31, 2021 – $142) which is included in accounts payable. In addition, the Company had $79 in current prepaids (December 31, 2021 – $56) representing certain geological software licenses purchased on behalf of the Company by UMS, and which are amortized over twelve months.

 

As part of the UMS arrangement, the Company is contractually obliged to pay certain rental expenses in respect of a ten-year office lease entered into by UMS on July 1, 2021. As at September 30, 2022, the Company expects to incur approximately $541 in respect of its share of future rental expense of UMS.

 

Note 8: 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. Tax deductions generated by eligible expenditures are passed through to the shareholders of the flow-through shares once the eligible expenditures are incurred and renounced. In July 2020, in response to the economic impact of COVID-19, the Government of Canada extended the timelines for eligible expenditures from 24 to 36 months.

 

In September 2020, the Company completed an equity financing by raising $23,000 through the issuance of 7,750,000 subscription receipts. Out of the subscription receipts sold, 5,000,000 were flow-through receipts for gross proceeds of $17,500 and were exchanged for Fury Gold common shares designated as flow-through shares, while 2,750,000 subscription receipts were sold as non-flow-through for gross proceeds of $5,500 and exchanged for Fury Gold common shares. The flow-through proceeds are being used for mineral exploration in Quebec. The Company is committed to incur the remaining exploration expenditures of $547 (December 31, 2021 – $7,290) before December 31, 2022, which was renounced to investors in December 2020.

The fair value of the share options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was based on the following weighted average assumptions:

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 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 option plan

 

The Company maintains a rolling share option plan providing for the issuance of share options up to 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant. The Company may grant share options from time to time to its directors, officers, employees, and other service providers. The share options typically vest as to 25% on the date of the grant and 12.5% every three months thereafter for a total vesting period of 18 months.

(b) Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value

 

The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements are as follows:

 

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.

The Company’s policy to determine when a transfer occurs between levels is to assess the impact at the date of the event or the change in circumstances that could result in a transfer. No transfers occurred between the levels during the period.

 

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

(1) Marketable securities included in level 2 as at December 31, 2021 include warrants that were valued using an option pricing model which utilizes a combination of quoted prices and market-derived inputs, including volatility estimates.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no financial assets or financial liabilities transferred, measured, and recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position at fair value that would be categorized as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

(c) Financial instruments and related risks

 

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to liquidity risk, and market risks, which include currency risk and price risk. As at September 30, 2022, the primary risks were as follows:

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company proactively manages its capital resources and has in place a budgeting and cash management process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its current exploration plans and achieve its growth objectives. The Company ensures that there is sufficient liquidity available to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash outflows from exploration activities, and its holdings of cash and marketable securities. The Company monitors and adjusts, when required, these exploration programs as well as corporate administrative costs to ensure that adequate levels of working capital are maintained.

 

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had unrestricted cash of $5,963 (December 31, 2021 – $3,259), working capital surplus of $12,178 (December 31, 2021 – working capital deficit of $428), which the Company defines as current assets less current liabilities, and an accumulated deficit of $128,970 (December 31, 2021 – $156,749). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Fury Gold recognized net loss and net earnings of $12,280 and $(27,779), respectively, (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 – net losses of $7,507 and $16,492) primarily arising from the sale of Homestake Resources (note 3). The Company expects to incur future 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.

The Company also makes certain payments arising on mineral claims and leases on an annual or bi-annual basis to ensure all the Company’s properties remain in good standing. Cash payments of $13 and $57 were made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 - $nil and $266), in respect of these mineral claims, with $87 recognized in prepaid expenses as at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 – $144).

 

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.

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). The Company’s foreign currency exposure related to its financial assets and liabilities held in US dollars was as follows:

A 10% increase or decrease in the US dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate would not have a material impact on the Company’s net loss.

 

 

ii.

Price risk

 

 

 

The Company holds certain investments in marketable securities (note 5) which are measured at fair value, being the closing share price of each equity security at the date of the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position. The Company is exposed to changes in share prices which would result in gains and losses being recognized in the earnings for the period. A 10% increase or decrease in the Company’s marketable securities’ share prices would not have a material impact on the Company’s net income.
