Delta Resources Limited (An exploration stage company) Notes to financial statements For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020
1. Nature of operations
Delta Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a corporation continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) incorporated on January 19, 1946. The Company changed its name to Delta Resources Limited from Golden Hope Mines Limited in June 2019. The Company’s principal operations are mining properties and exploration expenditures made on properties that are not in commercial production. The Company is exploring its mining properties and has not determined whether or not the properties contain economically recoverable resources. The address of the registered office is 1718, Christine Crescent, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, K7L 4V4.
The Company’s shares are listed under the symbol DLTA on the TSX Venture Exchange.
2. Basis of preparation
Statement of Compliance
The condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements as were followed in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The Board of Directors approved these financial statements on May 20, 2020.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, unless specifically stated in the financial statements.
Functional and Presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates, and is the functional currency of the Company.
3. Going concern
The Company has not yet determined whether its mining properties contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of mining properties is dependent on the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and resources; securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties; and the ability to obtain the financing required to complete exploration, evaluation, development and construction or the proceeds from the sale of such assets.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using assumptions applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period.
Management is aware in making its assessment of material uncertainties related to events and conditions that lend a significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, as described in the following paragraph. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, expenses and financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.

3. Going concern – Cont’d
There are several adverse conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the soundness of the going concern assumption. The Company had recurring losses in prior years and has accumulated losses of $36,695,327 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. Further, the business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. In addition to ongoing working capital requirements, the Company must secure sufficient funding for the exploration and evaluation programs and pay general and administrative costs. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on being able to obtain the necessary financing to satisfy its liabilities as they become due. As at March 31, 2020, the Company has a working capital of $697,623.
There is a material uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to secure financing in the future or that these sources of funding will be available. If management is unable to obtain new funding, the Company may be unable to continue its operations, and amounts realized for assets may be less than amounts reflected in these financial statements.
Any funding shortfall may be met in the future in a number of ways, including but not limited to, the issuance of new debt or equity instruments, reduction in expenditures and/or the introduction of joint venture partners and/or business combinations on terms which are acceptable to the Company. Although the Company has been successful in the past at raising funds, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to secure financing in the future or that these sources of funding will be available.
4. Critical accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions
When preparing its financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management in the audited financial statement ended December 31, 2019.
COVID-19 estimation uncertainty
Since the beginning of 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, temporary restriction on all non-essential business, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions.
The Company is continuing non-site activities to further the Company’s objectives during this uncertain and rapidly evolving time and to follow the recommendations of the Quebec Ontario and Canadian Governments. Although Mineral Exploration is deemed an essential service in Ontario and the Québec Government intends to allow mineral exploration to resume May 11th , 2020, 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 and its operating in future periods. However, it is possible that due to market uncertainty the Company may be restricted in its ability to raise additional funding.

12. Fair value
For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable and other and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, their carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their immediate or short-term maturity.
The Company’s financial instruments recorded at fair value require disclosure about how the fair value was determined based on significant levels of inputs described in the following hierarchy:
-
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and value to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
-
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices of Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace.
-
Level 3 – Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Cash has been measured using level 1 inputs

13. Capital management
The Company defines capital as shareholders' equity. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to:
-
ensure sufficient liquidity to support its financial obligations and execute its operating and strategic plans;
-
maintain financial capacity and access to capital to support future development of the business while taking into consideration current and future industry, market and economic risks and conditions; and
-
utilize short term funding sources to manage its working capital requirements.
The Company has no externally imposed restrictions on capital.
14. Loss per share
-
(a) Basic loss per share
-
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for a period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period.
-
(b) Diluted loss per share
Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for a period by the diluted number of common shares. Diluted common shares includes the effects of instruments, such share options and warrants, which could cause the number of common shares outstanding to increase.
The Company reported a comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018; the Company has accordingly presented basic and diluted loss per share, which are the same, on a single line in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Diluted loss per share did not include the effect of share purchase options and warrants as they were anti-dilutive.
15. Financial instruments
-
a) Credit risk arises from cash which are composed of deposits with Canadian financial institutions. Further, the Company limits its credit risk to any individual counterparty. The Company's sales tax receivable consists primarily of Good and Service tax due from the Federal Government of Canada, Quebec sales tax and tax credits receivable due from the Ministry of Revenue of Quebec for current claims.
-
b) Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices and is comprised of three types of risk:
-
i) Interest rate risk arises because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's cash are subject to minimal risk in changes in value, have an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase, and are readily convertible into cash.
-
ii) Currency risk arises because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is not exposed to such risk.
-
iii) Price risk - the Company will be exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices, specifically gold. Any future significant price declines could cause continued exploration and development to become uneconomical.
-
c) Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.

15. Financial instruments – Cont’d
Transaction costs associated with fair value through profit or loss financial assets and financial liabilities are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial assets and other financial liabilities are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset or the liability.
Sensitivity analysis
Financial instruments included in tax credits and credits on duties receivable and other assets are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. As at March 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated their fair value. Based on management’s knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that the movements in interest rates that are reasonably possible over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the Company.
16. Subsquent events
