granted the right to nominate one director of the Board of the Company and a right to maintain its shareholding interest in the Company should the Company raise additional funds in the future by way of private placement or prospectus offering.

At the date of this report, the Company had received TSX approval for the first tranche of this placement and have received $3,338,645 for issuance of 4,769,493 common shares.

Trends and Economic Conditions

Management regularly monitors economic conditions and estimates their impact on the Company's operations and incorporates these estimates in both short-term operating and longer-term strategic decisions.

Due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, material uncertainties may arise that could influence management's going concern assumption. Management cannot accurately predict the future impact COVID-19 may have on:

  • Global gold prices;
  • Demand for gold and the ability to explore for gold;
  • The severity and the length of potential measures taken by governments to manage the spread of the virus, and their effect on labour availability and supply lines;
  • Availability of government supplies, such as water and electricity;
  • Purchasing power of the Canadian dollar; and
  • Ability to obtain funding.

At the date of this Interim MD&A, the Liberian government has not introduced measures that have directly impeded the operational activities of the Company. Although cash in the Company continues to be spent to further advance the project, and all cash inflows are a result of financing arrangements, management believes the business will continue and, accordingly, the current situation has not impacted management's going concern assumption. However, it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

Apart from these and the risk factors noted under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties", management is not aware of any other trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
