NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Golden Goliath Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 12, 1996 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX.V”), trading under the symbol “GNG”. The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 711, 675 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of resource properties.
The Company is in the exploration stage and is in the process of evaluating its Mexican resource properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. Managements’ plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings, which either may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This assumes the Company will operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the financial statements. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception, has no source of operating cash flow, minimal income from short-term investments, continues to rely on the cooperation of its related parties, and there can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to complete the exploration of its mineral properties and to cover general and administrative expenses necessary for the maintenance of a public company. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future depends in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions and mineral property exploration success. These factors cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the financial statements.

b)
Foreign Currencies
The Company’s reporting currency and functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the Mexican subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in United States (“US”) and Mexican (“MXN”) foreign currencies have been translated into Canadian dollars as follows:
·
Monetary items at the rate prevailing at the statement of financial position date;
·
Non-monetary items are measured at historical cost at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction;
·
Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction; and
·
Gains or losses arising on foreign currency translation are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
c)
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The preparation of financial statements also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the accounting policies.
On an on-going basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances, as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively from the period in which the estimates are revised. Actual outcomes may differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
The following are the key estimate and assumption uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Impairment
Assets, especially exploration and evaluation assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts exceed their recoverable amounts. The assessment of the carrying amount often requires estimates and assumptions such as discount rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance.
Share-based payment transactions
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant of shares. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of a share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and model used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 9.

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (Continued)
Critical Judgments Used in Applying Accounting Policies
Determination of going concern assumption
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments regarding the applicability of going concern assumption to the Company as discussed in Note 1.
Determination of Cash Generating Units
In performing impairment assessments, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Management is required to exercise judgment in identifying these cash generating units.
Determination of functional currency
The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.
Title to mineral property interests
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after the expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in the statement of operations in the period the new information becomes available.
Income taxes
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities.
In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward to the extent there are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity against which the unused tax losses can be utilized. However, utilization of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the taxable entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (Continued)
Decommissioning liabilities
Judgment is required to determine if there are legal or constructive obligations to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs when there is an environmental disturbance caused by exploration, development or ongoing production of an exploration and evaluation asset. When it is determined that an obligation exists, a provision is recognized. The provision for decommissioning liabilities depends on estimates of current risk-free interest rates, future restoration and reclamation expenditures and the timing of those expenditures.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS(Continued)
The Company has an extensive property portfolio of mining concessions, acquired mainly through staking, in the Uruachic District of Mexico covering approximately 10,000 hectares. The Company has various net smelter returns on specific claims forming a part of the Company’s properties. The net smelter returns range from 1% to 3%, which have buyouts ranging from US$250,000 to US$2,000,000.
On November 5, 2015, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Fresnillo PLC (“Fresnillo”) granting Fresnillo an option over certain of the Company’s properties in the Uruachic mining camp. Under the terms of the agreement, Fresnillo may earn a 100% interest (subject to a 1% net smelter royalty half of which may be purchased for US$500,000) in the La Reforma, Nueva Union, Oteros, Las Bolas, Nopalera, La Barranca and Corona properties by making cash payments totaling approximately US$3,000,000 over 3 years and by paying all mining rights (property taxes) and conducting all assessment work required to keep the properties in good standing. As part of the US$3,000,000 in payments, approximately US$700,000 is due in regular instalments over 3 years in return for granting Fresnillo the right to perform exploration and assessment work to evaluate the properties. If at the end of the evaluation period they wish to continue with the acquisition of a 100% interest, a payment of US$2,300,000 is required. Fresnillo has the right to terminate this agreement at any time during the exploration period with no further payments required.
The Company and Comstock Metals Ltd. (“Comstock”) had previously entered into an option agreement whereby Comstock has earned a 50% undivided interest in the Corona property. On May 18, 2016 the Company, Comstock and Fresnillo signed an agreement whereby the Company is obligated to pay 50% of one seventh of certain option payments received from Fresnillo to Comstock in order to transfer Comstock’s 50% undivided interest to Fresnillo. These payments total US$200,000 and are to be made in accordance with specific instalment payments made by Fresnillo to the Company.
As at November 30, 2017, $1,191,906 in payments have been received. This includes the first five required payments for the exploration rights plus reimbursement of certain exploration costs incurred by the Company. Approximately US$100,000 is due, in six month intervals, from the exploration rights at year-end in addition to the final US$2,300,000 payment.
During the year ended August 31, 2017, $nil (August 31, 2017 - $2,129) in deferred expenditures related to certain mineral claims were written down. These write-downs were mainly related to the Company’s Corona/Las Trojas Property. The Company will continue to hold the claims, but they are not viewed as priorities. Management does not currently intend to conduct any exploration activities on these non-core claims in the next year.
The Company will keep an undivided 100% interest in its principal property in the District, San Timoteo, where work has been focused for the last several years. In the event that the Company’s plans change, Fresnillo has been granted a right of first refusal over this property.

SHARE CAPITAL AND RESERVES(Continued)
Stock Options
The Company has a 10% rolling stock option plan for its directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire common shares of the Company at a price determined with reference to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company’s stock option plan provides for immediate vesting, or vesting at the discretion of the Board at the time of the option grant. Options and are exercisable for a period of up to 5 years. Stock options granted to investor relations’ consultants vest over a twelve month period, with one quarter of such options vesting in each three month period.
During the year ended August 31, 2016 the company granted 3,400,000 stock options to consultants and Directors of the Company at an exercise price of $0.085 per share, expiring on July 11, 2021. The fair value of the stock options granted has been calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model, based on the following assumptions: weighted average risk free interest rate of 1.16%, volatility factor of 125.90% and an expected life of five years.
A summary of changes in stock options is presented below:
| | | |
| | | WEIGHTED |
| | NUMBER | AVERAGE |
| | OF | EXERCISE |
| | SHARES | PRICE |
| Balance, August 31, 2017 and 2016 | 3,400,000 | $ 0,085 |
| Balance, November 30, 2017 | 3,400,000 | $ 0.085 |
| | | |
The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at November 30, 2017 was 3.61 years (August 31, 2017 –3.86 years).
Nature and Purpose of Reserves
The reserves recorded in equity on the Company’s statements of financial position is comprised of “Share-based Payments Reserve” and is used to recognize the fair value of stock option grants prior to exercise, expiry or cancellation and the fair value of other share-based consideration paid at the date of payment.
7.
LOSS PER SHARE
The Company calculates the basic and diluted loss per common share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period and the diluted loss per share assumes that the outstanding vested stock options and share purchase warrants had been exercised at the beginning of the year.
To compute diluted earnings per share, the average number of shares outstanding is adjusted for the number of all potentially dilutive shares. As of November 30, 2017, the Company had a total of 3,400,000 (August 31, 2017 - 3,400,000l) stock options outstanding. As of November 30, 2017, , there are no outstanding share purchase warrants outstanding. Dilutive options and warrants were not included in the Company’s loss per common share calculation because the result was anti-dilutive.

Financial Instrument Risk Exposure and Risk Management
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management process. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to fulfil an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s credit risk to its financial assets are summarized below:
| | | | | |
| | NOVEMBER 30, 2017 | AUGUST 31, 2017 |
| | | | | |
| Cash | $ | 148,721 | $ | 68,123 |
| Accounts receivable | $ | 2,404 | $ | 2,694 |
| Due from related parties | $ | 3,911 | $ | 3,911 |
The credit risk of accounts receivable securities is assessed as low. The carrying amount of these financial assets is their maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company does not invest in asset–backed commercial papers.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting its financial obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they fall due. The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short term business requirements, after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash.
As of November 30, 2017, the Company does not have sufficient cash and highly liquid investments on hand to meet current liabilities and its expected administrative requirements for the coming year. The Company has cash of $148,721 (August 31, 2017 - $68,123) and total liabilities of $661,644 (August 31, 2017 - $631,402). Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties of $616,393 (August 31, 2017 - $557,243) are due within three months. Management has assessed liquidity risk as high. (Note 1)
Market Risk
The significant market risk exposures to which the Company is exposed are foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and commodity price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company has operations in Canada and Mexico subject to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company’s operating expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos, and the fluctuation of the Canadian dollar in relation to this other currency will have an impact upon the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets and the amount of equity. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Foreign Currency Risk (Continued)
Financial assets and liabilities denominated in Mexican Pesos and U.S. dollars were as follows:
| | | | | |
| | NOVEMBER 30, 2017 | AUGUST 31, 2017 |
| U.S. Dollars | | | | |
| Financial liabilities | $ | 4,000 | $ | 4,000 |
| Mexican Pesos | | | | |
| Financial assets | $ | 74,040 | $ | 28,128 |
| Financial liabilities | $ | 27,603 | $ | 7,714 |
Based on the above net exposures as at November 30, 2017, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% change in the value of the Mexican peso against the Canadian dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $4,400 (August 31, 2017 - $2,100) in loss from operations. Based on the above net exposures as at November 30, 2017, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% change in the value of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $400 (August 31, 2017 - $400) in loss from operations.
Interest Rate Risk
As at November 30, 2017 the Company has no significant exposure to interest rate risk through its financial instruments.
Other Risks
The Company's operations are in northern Mexico and are subject to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties unique to Mexico. These risks and uncertainties may include: extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates; high rates of inflation; labor unrest; risks of war or civil unrest; expropriation and nationalization; renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts; illegal mining; corruption; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; hostage taking; and changing political conditions and currency controls. In addition, the Company may have to comply with multiple and potentially conflicting regulations in Canada and Mexico, including export requirements, taxes, tariffs, import duties and other trade barriers, as well as health, safety and environmental requirements. Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Mexico may adversely affect the Company's operations. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to matters including restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency controls or restrictions, currency remittance, income and other taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral rights applications and tenure could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

CAPITAL DISCLOSURES
The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration and development stage natural resource properties. The directors determine the Company’s capital structure and make adjustments to it based on funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The directors have not established quantitative return on capital criteria for capital management.
The Company is dependent upon external financing to fund future exploration programs and its administrative costs. The Company will spend existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and to seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if management feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and provided it has adequate financial resources to do so.

CAPITAL DISCLOSURES(Continued)
The directors review the Company’s capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believe that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. (Note 1)
The Company considers the items included on the statement of financial position in equity as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through private placements, sell assets to reduce debt or return capital to shareholders. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
