Note 13: Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial assets at August 31, 2023 include cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and withholdings taxes payable. The carrying value of the Company’s financial liabilities approximates fair value due to their short term to maturity.

 

 

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

 

The financial risks arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk and currency risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support our ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how we mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily associated with our bank balances. We mitigate credit risk associated with its bank balances by holding cash with large, reputable financial institutions.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Company closely monitors its liquidity position to ensure it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations. We had working capital as at August 31, 2023 of $15,133,664. Our accounts payable, accrued liabilities and withholdings taxes payable are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period.

 

Currency Risk

 

We report our financial statements in U.S. dollars. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when it undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities in currencies other than our functional currency. Financial instruments that impact our net loss due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are denominated in Canadian dollars. The impact of a U.S. dollar change against Canadian dollars of 10% would have an impact of approximately $13,400 on net loss for the quarter ended August 31, 2023.
