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 November 30, 2023 of $11,493,428. Our accounts payable, accrued liabilities, current portion of lease liabilities, withholding taxes payable, and income tax payable are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period.

 

We have not generated any revenue from operations and the only sources of financing to date have been through advances from GoldMining and the IPO. Our ability to meet our obligations and finance exploration activities depends on our ability to generate cash flow through the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to private placements and short-term or long-term loans. Capital markets may not be receptive to offerings of new equity from treasury or debt, whether by way of private placements or public offerings. This may be further complicated by the limited liquidity for our common stock, restricting access to some institutional investors. Our growth and success is dependent on external sources of financing which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

The Company believes that the existing cash on hand will enable us to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve months commencing from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

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 $233 on net loss for the year ended November 30, 2023.
