AFTERMATH SILVER LTD.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
Nine months ended February 29, 2020 and 2019
1. Nature of operations and going concern:
Aftermath Silver Ltd. ("the Company" or "Aftermath") was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on January 27, 2011. Its principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company's shares are currently traded on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol AAG and on the OTCQB under the symbol AAGFF. The Company's registered and records address is: Suite 1500
- 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1T2.
The Company is in the exploration stage and engages principally in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties is ultimately dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the mineral properties, obtaining necessary financing to explore and develop the mineral properties, entering into agreements with others to explore and develop the mineral properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the mineral properties.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and settle its obligations in the normal course of business. The Company has no operating revenue and has a history of losses. As at February 29, 2020, the Company has a net working capital of $865,330. During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, the Company completed financings totaling $5,858,837 in gross proceeds (note 6). Management has forecasted that the Company's current working capital will be sufficient to execute its planned expenditures for the coming year.
The ability of the Company to carry out its planned business objectives is dependent on its ability to raise adequate financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors and/or generate operating profitability and positive cash flow. There can be no assurances that the Company will continue to obtain the additional financial resources necessary and/or achieve profitability or positive cash flows. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing, the Company will be required to curtail operations.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect adjustments, which could be material to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Significant accounting policies:
-
Basis of presentation:
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounts Standards ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
Nine months ended February 29, 2020 and 2019
- Significant accounting policies (continued):
-
Basis of presentation (continued):
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2020. - Basis of consolidation:
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its 80% subsidiary Minera Cachinal S.A. (note 4), and its wholly owned inactive subsidiary, Minera ISP S. R.L. de C.V. Intercompany balances and transactions, including any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated on consolidation. - Significant accounting estimates and judgments:
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. The Company reviews its estimates and assumptions regularly; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant judgments are used in the Company's assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern which is described in note 1, the determination of functional currency of subsidiary entities, and the value of deferred costs.
Significant accounting estimates are used in the valuation of deferred income taxes. Key estimates made by management with respect to these areas have been described in the notes to these financial statements as appropriate. - Foreign currency transactions:
The presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of Minera Cachinal is the Chilean peso. Transactions of the Company denominated in other currencies are translated into the relevant functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect exchange rates prevailing at that date and the related foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
-
Basis of presentation (continued):
- New and revised standards and interpretations:
Accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those described in the Company's audited annual financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2019, except for the following change to IFRS, which were adopted as at June 1, 2019:
IFRS 16, Leases: This new standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases and introduces a single lessee accounting model which requires the lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of longer than 12 months. The Company did not have any leases as at February 29, 2020, therefore the adoption of IFRS 16 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed interim financial statements.
There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC Interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company.

4. Acquisition of Minera Cachinal
On October 30, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition ("Minera Cachinal Acquisition") of an 80% ownership stake in the Cachinal De La Sierra silver-gold project (the "Cachinal property") through the acquisition of an 80% ownership in Minera Cachinal S.A. ("Minera Cachinal") from Halo Labs Inc. ("Halo"). In consideration for 80% ownership of Minera Cachinal, the Company will pay Halo a total of $1,575,000 cash, consisting of $250,000 in cash on October 30, 2019 (paid), $250,000 in cash on or before April 30, 2020 (paid), $525,000 in cash on or before October 30, 2020, and $550,000 in cash on or before April 30, 2021, and assume certain debts. At any time, Halo will have the right to convert any remaining unpaid purchase price into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share (note 6). The remaining 20% of Minera Cachinal SA is held by SSR Mining Inc.
During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, the Company reimbursed Minera Cachinal, SA, for certain costs to maintain its properties in good standing in the amount of $171,512 (including $82,331 prior to acquisition).
The Company has agreed to pay a cash finder's fee of $107,000 (paid $45,000). As at February 29, 2020, the Company had also incurred $95,170 in transaction costs, of which $21,079 had been deferred at May 31, 2019.
Minera Cachinal is not considered to be a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations; accordingly, the Minera Cachinal Acquisition is accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Challacollo Property Acquisition
On November 8, 2019, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Mandalay Resources Corp. ("Mandalay"), pursuant to which the Company will acquire Minera Mandalay Challacollo Limitada ("MMC"), which owns the Challacollo silver-gold project in Chile.
In consideration, the Company will pay Mandalay a total of $10,500,000, consisting of $1,000,000 in cash on or before July 31, 2020 (paid), $1,000,000 in cash on or before December 30, 2020, a final payment of $5,500,000 (of which up to $2,750,000 may be paid in shares at Mandalay's option) on or before April 30, 2021, and a net smelter royalty of $3,000,000. The Company may elect, at an additional cost of $500,000, to vary the final payment of $5,500,000 such that $3,000,000 (of which up to $1,500,000 may be paid in shares at the Company's option) is due on or before April 30, 2021, and $3,000,000 (of which up to $1,500,000 may be paid in shares at the Company's option), including the aforementioned additional cost of $500,000, is due on or before April 30, 2022. The cumulative share issuances pursuant to the agreement may not exceed 49% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares.
Ownership in MMC will not transfer until such time the Company has completed its payments. If the Company fails to make its payments under the agreement, Mandalay will retain 100% ownership of MMC.
The Company has agreed to pay a finder's fee of $407,500 (paid $82,500). As at February 29, 2020, the Company has also incurred $91,211 in transaction costs, of which $24,183 had been deferred at May 31, 2019.
6. Convertible debt:
On October 30, 2019, the Company completed the Minera Cachinal Acquisition (note 4). In connection with the transaction, Halo will have the right to convert any remaining unpaid purchase price of $1,075,000 into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share. Accordingly, the unpaid purchase price of $1,075,000 has been determined to be a convertible debenture, payable as follows: $525,000 on or before October 30, 2020 and $550,000 on or before April 30, 2021. The convertible debenture does not bear any interest. The conversion feature was valued at a discount rate of 12% which is the borrowing rate achievable by the Company for non-convertible instruments.

9. Financial instruments (continued):
-
Financial instrument risk exposure and risk management:Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counterparties may be unable to fulfill their commitments to the Company. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets, including cash and receivables. The carrying value of these instruments represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company manages and limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. There is minimal credit risk with respect to GST receivable as this amount is recoverable from Canadian governmental agencies. At February 29, 2020, the Company's exposure to credit risk is minimal.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities in full. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk and manages it through the management of its capital structure, as outlined in note 9(b) of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no interest-bearing financial assets as at February 29, 2020.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the changes in foreign currency rates. The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company incurs foreign currency risk on purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company, which will have an impact on the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company's assets, liabilities and the amount of shareholders' equity.
The Company's main risks are associated with fluctuations in the US dollar ("US"), the Chilean peso ("CLP"), and the Mexican peso ("MXN"), and assets and liabilities are translated based on the foreign currency translated method described in note 2(d). The Company does not enter into any foreign exchange hedging contracts. As at February 29, 2020, the Company had foreign current assets totaling approximately CLP9,186,810 and amounts payable totaling approximately US$212,896, CLP11,198,898, and MXN263,984. The Company has determined that a 10% increase or decrease in these currencies against the Canadian dollar on these instruments, as at February 29, 2020, would result in a $30,713 change to profit or loss for the period. - Capital management:
The Company's objectives of capital management are intended to safeguard the entity's ability to support the Company's exploration and evaluation of its resource properties and support any expansion plans. The capital of the Company consists of the items included in shareholders' deficiency.
