Disclosure of nature of operations [Abstract]
Nature of operations	1 Nature of operations Entrée Resources Ltd., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Entrée”), is focused on the development and exploration of mineral property interests. The Company is principally focused on its Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property in Mongolia (Note 7). The Company has its primary listing in Canada on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and its common shares also trade in the United States on the Over-the-Counter The Company’s registered office is at Suite 2900, 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 0A3, Canada. All amounts are expressed in United States dollars, except for certain amounts denoted in Canadian dollars (“C$”). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes that the Company will be able to continue for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company estimates it has adequate financial resources to satisfy its obligations over the next 12 month period and beyond.

Basis of presentation	2 Basis of presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and in making the assessment that the Company is a going concern, management have taken into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from December 31, 2021. The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 24

Disclosure of accounting judgements and estimates [Abstract]
Use of estimates and judgements	3 Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates and judgements used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include: determination of functional currencies; recoverable amount of property and equipment; title to mineral properties; share-based compensation; and income taxes. Estimates that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are as follows: a) Determination of functional currencies The determination of the Company’s functional currency is a matter of judgment based on an assessment of the specific facts and circumstances relevant to determining the primary economic environment of each individual entity within the group. The Company reconsiders the functional currencies used when there is a change in events and conditions considered in determining the primary economic environment of each entity. b) Income taxes The Company must make significant estimates in respect of the provision for income taxes and the composition of its deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities. The Company’s operations are, in part, subject to foreign tax laws where interpretations, regulations and legislation are complex and continually changing. As a result, there are usually some tax matters in question which may, on resolution in the future, result in adjustments to the amount of current or deferred income tax assets or liabilities, and those adjustments may be material to the Company’s statement of financial position and results of operations. The determination of the ability of the Company to utilize tax losses carried forward to offset income taxes payable in the future and to utilize temporary differences which will reverse in the future requires management to exercise judgment and make assumptions about the Company’s future performance. Management is required to assess whether the Company is more likely than not to be able to benefit from these tax losses and temporary differences. Changes in the timing of project completion, economic conditions, metal prices and other factors having an impact on future taxable income streams could result in revisions to the estimates of benefits to be realized or the Company’s assessments of its ability to utilize tax losses before expiry. These revisions could result in material adjustments to the consolidated financial statements. c) Share-based compensation The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the valuation of share-based compensation. Option pricing models require the input of the subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s net loss and reserves. d) COVID-19 In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19

Significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Disclosure of summary of significant accounting policies explanatory [Abstract]
Significant accounting policies	4 Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. a) Basis of consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s significant subsidiaries are Entrée LLC and Entrée Resources LLC. Wholly owned subsidiaries are entities in which the Company has direct or indirect control, where control is defined as the investor’s power over an investee with exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the investee and the ability to affect the investor’s returns through its power over the investee. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. b) Foreign currency translation The functional currency of Entrée Resources Ltd. is the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the statement of financial position date while non-monetary non-monetary The Company follows the current rate method of translation with respect to its presentation of these consolidated financial statements in the reporting currency, which is the United States dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the period-end c) Financial instruments Classification The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”), or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument The following table shows the classification of the Company’s financial instruments: Financial assets / liabilities Classification Cash and cash equivalents Amortized cost Receivables Amortized cost Deposits Amortized cost Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost Lease liabilities Amortized cost Loan payable to Oyu Tolgoi LLC Amortized cost Measurement Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss / income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss. Financial assets at FVTOCI Financial assets at FVTOCI are initially recorded at fair value adjusted for transaction costs. Dividends are recognized as income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss / income unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Gains or losses recognized on the sale of the equity investment are recognized in other comprehensive loss / income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Impairment An ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. Derecognition Financial assets The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss / income. d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. e) Exploration and evaluation assets All direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property interest are capitalized in the period incurred. Exploration and evaluation costs are charged to operations in the period incurred until such time as it has been determined that a mineral property has proven and probable reserves and the property is economically viable, in which case subsequent evaluation costs incurred to develop a mineral property are capitalized. f) Property, plant and equipment Mineral property interests and mine development costs All exploration and evaluation expenditures and property maintenance costs incurred for projects outside the boundary of a known mineral deposit containing proven and probable reserves are expensed as incurred to the date of establishing that property costs are economically recoverable. Development expenditures are those incurred subsequent to the establishment of economic recoverability and after a number of key development and milestones have been achieved. These milestones include obtaining sufficient financial resources, permits, and licenses to develop the mineral property. Development costs are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the related property. Mineral property and mine development costs capitalized are amortized using the units-of-production Plant and equipment Items of plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depletion and amortization. Cost includes all expenditures incurred to bring assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be operated in the manner intended by management, including estimated decommissioning and restoration costs and, where applicable, borrowing costs. If significant parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of plant and equipment. Depreciation is recorded on a declining balance basis at rates ranging from 20% to 30% per annum. No depletion and amortization is recorded until the asset is substantially complete and available for its intended use. Impairment of non-current The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows to be derived from continuing use of the asset or CGU are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax g) Long-term investments Long-term investments in companies in which the Company has voting interests of 20% or more or where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, the Company’s share of the investees’ earnings and losses is included in operations and its investments therein are adjusted by a like amount. Dividends received are credited to the long-term investment accounts. h) Decommissioning obligations The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, legal or constructive obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. Initially, a provision for a decommissioning obligation is recognized at its net present value in the period in which it is incurred, using a discounted cash flow technique with market-based risk-free discount rates and estimates of the timing and amount of the settlement of the obligation. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding decommissioning cost is added to the carrying amount of the related asset. Following initial recognition of the decommissioning obligation, the carrying amount of the liability is increased for the passage of time and adjusted for changes to significant estimates including the current discount rate, the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation and the requirements of the relevant legal and regulatory framework. Subsequent changes in the provisions resulting from new disturbance, updated cost estimates, changes to estimated lives of operations and revisions to discount rates are also capitalized to the related property, plant and equipment. Amounts capitalized to the related property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the lives of the assets to which they relate. The amortization or unwinding of the discount applied in establishing the net present value of provisions is charged to expense and is included within finance costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss / income. i) Other provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources that can be reliably estimated will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. j) Taxation Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred taxes are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss / income except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss / income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of unused tax losses and credits, as well as temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on enacted or substantively enacted laws at the reporting date. The Company computes the provision for deferred income taxes under the liability method. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Future taxable profits are estimated using an income forecast derived from cash flow projections, based on detailed life-of-mine Deferred tax is not recognized for the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Company is subject to assessments by various taxation authorities, who may interpret tax legislation differently from the Company. The final amount of taxes to be paid depends on a number of factors, including the outcomes of audits, appeals or negotiated settlements. Such differences are accounted for based on management’s best estimate of the probable outcome of these matters. The Company must make significant estimates and judgments in respect of its provision for income taxes and the composition and measurement of its deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The Company’s operations are, in part, subject to foreign tax laws where interpretations, regulations and legislation are complex and continually changing. As a result, there are usually some tax matters in question that may, upon resolution in the future, result in adjustments to the amount of deferred income tax assets and liabilities; those adjustments may be material. k) Share-based compensation The Company’s stock option plan allows the Company’s directors, officers, employees, and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in reserves. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Where options are subject to vesting, each vesting tranche is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Share-based compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by a charge to profit or loss. For employees, the compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period which approximates the vesting period. Compensation expense for share options granted to non-employees non-employees re-measured At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options that are expected to vest. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees l) Deferred share units The Company has established a deferred share unit plan under which deferred share units (“DSUs”) are granted to directors and officers of the Company as part of long-term incentive compensation. DSUs are classified as equity settled share-based payment transactions as the participants will receive either common shares of the Company or payment of cash, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, following a redemption event. As such, the Company recognizes the expense based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares at the grant date and a corresponding increase in equity for the eventual redemption when the DSUs are issued. m) Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the weighted average common shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of share options and share purchase warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional common shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding share options and equity settled instruments were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting periods. n) Related party transactions Parties are considered related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered related if they are subject to common control or significant influence. A transaction is considered a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. o) Right-of-use At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset during the term of the arrangement exists, and if the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices. As a lessee, the Company recognizes a right-of-use right-of-use The right-of-use right-of-use A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of: • fixed payments, including in-substance • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; • exercise prices of purchase options if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if there is a change in the estimate or assessment of the expected amount payable under a residual value guarantee, purchase, extension or termination option. Variable lease payments not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability are charged directly to profit or loss. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use low-value p) Warrants issued in equity financing transactions The Company engages in equity financing transactions to obtain the funds necessary to continue operations and explore and evaluate mineral properties. These equity financing transactions may involve issuance of common shares or units. A unit comprises a certain number of common shares and a certain number of share purchase warrants. Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing agreement, the warrants are exercisable into additional common shares prior to expiry at a price stipulated by the agreement. Warrants that are part of units are valued based on the relative fair value method and included in share capital with the common shares that were concurrently issued. Warrants that are issued as payment for an agency fee or other transactions costs are accounted for as share-based q) Standards issued or amended but not yet effective The Company has not applied the following revised IFRS that has been issued but was not yet effective at December 31, 2021. This accounting standard is not currently expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s accounting policies or financial statements. • IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use (effective January 1, 2022). The amendment prohibits deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sale proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.

Other Assets [Abstract]
Other assets	6 Oyu Tolgoi assets Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property The Company has a carried 20% participating joint venture interest in two of the Oyu Tolgoi project deposits, and a carried 20% or 30% participating joint venture interest (depending on the depth of mineralization) in the surrounding land package located in the South Gobi region of Mongolia (the “Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property”). The Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property is comprised of the eastern portion of the Shivee Tolgoi mining licence, which hosts the Hugo North Extension copper-gold deposit, and all of the Javhlant mining licence, which hosts the majority of the Heruga copper-gold-molybdenum deposit. The Shivee Tolgoi and Javhlant mining licences were granted by the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia in October 2009. Title to the two licences is held by the Company. In , the Company entered into an arm’s-length Equity Participation and Earn-In Agreement (the “Earn-In Agreement”) with Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. (“Turquoise Hill”). Under the Earn-In Agreement, Turquoise Hill agreed to purchase equity securities of the Company and was granted the right to earn an interest in what is now the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property. Most of Turquoise Hill’s rights and obligations under the Earn-In Agreement were subsequently assigned by Turquoise Hill to what was then its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oyu Tolgoi LLC (“OTLLC”). The Government of Mongolia subsequently acquired a 34% interest in OTLLC from Turquoise Hill. On June 30 , 2008 , OTLLC gave notice that it had completed its earn-in sub-surface metres from the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property and a 70% interest in all minerals extracted from surface to a depth of 560 metres from the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property. In accordance with the Earn-In Earn-In The portion of the Shivee Tolgoi mining licence outside of the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property, Shivee West, is 100 % owned by the Company, but is subject to a right of first refusal by OTLLC. In October 2015 , the Company entered into a License Fees Agreement with OTLLC, pursuant to which the parties agreed to negotiate in good faith to amend the JVA to include Shivee West in the definition of Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property. The parties also agreed that the annual licence fees for Shivee West would be for the account of each joint venture participant in proportion to their respective interests, with OTLLC contributing the Company’s 20% share charging interest at prime plus 2% (Note 8 The conversion of the original Shivee Tolgoi and Javhlant exploration licences into mining licences was a condition precedent to the Investment Agreement (the “Oyu Tolgoi Investment Agreement”) between Turquoise Hill, OTLLC, the Government of Mongolia and Rio Tinto International Holdings Limited. The licences are part of the contract area covered by the Oyu Tolgoi Investment Agreement, although the Company is not a party to the Oyu Tolgoi Investment Agreement. The Shivee Tolgoi and Javhlant mining licences were each issued for a 30 year term and have rights of renewal for two further 20 year terms. As of December 31 , 202 1 , the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV had expended approximately $35.7 million (December 31, 2020 - $34.2 million; December 31 , 2019 - $32.9 million) to advance the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property. Under the terms of the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV, OTLLC contributed on behalf of the Company its required participation amount charging interest at prime plus 2 % (Note 8 . Investment – Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property For accounting purposes, the Company treats its interest in the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV as a 20% equity investment. Historically, all Company expenditures related to its interest in the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV have been expensed as incurred through the statement of comprehensive loss or recognized as part of the Company’s share of the loss of the joint venture. The Company’s share of the loss of the joint venture was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $0.2 million; December 31, 2019 - $0.3 million). The joint venture has nominal current assets and liabilities, approximately $0.3 million of non-current non-current The Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV investment carrying value at December 31, 2021 was $0.2 million (December 31, 2020 - $0.2 million) and was recorded in Oyu Tolgoi assets in the statement of financial position.

Deferred Income Explanatory [Abstract]
Deferred revenue	9 Deferred revenue In February On February 23, 2016, the Company and Sandstorm entered into an Agreement to Amend, whereby the Company refunded 17% of the Deposit ($6.8 million) (the “Refund”) in cash and shares thereby reducing the Deposit to $33.2 million for a 17% reduction in the metal credits that the Company is required to deliver to Sandstorm. At closing on March 1, 2016, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Equity Participation and Funding Agreement (the “Amended Sandstorm Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amended Sandstorm Agreement, the Company will purchase and deliver gold, silver and copper credits equivalent to: • 28.1% of Entrée’s share of gold and silver, and 2.1% of Entrée’s share of copper, produced from the Shivee Tolgoi mining licence (excluding Shivee West); and • 21.3% of Entrée’s share of gold and silver, and 2.1% of Entrée’s share of copper, produced from the Javhlant mining licence. Upon the delivery of metal credits, Sandstorm will make a cash payment to the Company equal to the lesser of the prevailing market price and $220 per ounce of gold, $5 per ounce of silver and $0.50 per pound of copper (subject to inflation adjustments). After approximately 8.6 million ounces of gold, 40.3 million ounces of silver and 9.1 billion pounds of copper have been produced from the entire current Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property the cash payment will be increased to the lesser of the prevailing market price and $500 per ounce of gold, $10 per ounce of silver and $1.10 per pound of copper (subject to inflation adjustments). To the extent that the prevailing market price is greater than the amount of the cash payment, the difference between the two will be credited against the Deposit (the net amount of the Deposit being the “Unearned Balance”). This arrangement does not require the delivery of actual metal, and the Company may use revenue from any of its assets to purchase the requisite amount of metal credits. Under the Amended Sandstorm Agreement, Sandstorm has a right of first refusal, subject to certain exceptions, on future production-based funding agreements. The Amended Sandstorm Agreement also contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations, warranties, covenants and events of default. The initial term of the Amended Sandstorm Agreement is 50 years, subject to successive 10-year In addition, the Amended Sandstorm Agreement provides that the Company will not be required to make any further refund of the Deposit if Entrée’s economic interest is reduced by up to and including 17%. If there is a reduction of greater than 17% up to and including 34%, the Amended Sandstorm Agreement provides the Company with the ability to refund a corresponding portion of the Deposit in cash or common shares of the Company or any combination of the two at the Company’s election, in which case there would be a further corresponding reduction in deliverable metal credits. If the Company elects to refund Sandstorm with common shares of the Company, the value of each common share shall be equal to the volume weighted average price for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the 90 th In the event of a full expropriation, the remainder of the Unearned Balance after the foregoing refunds must be returned in cash. For accounting purposes, the Deposit is accounted for as deferred revenue on the statement of financial position and the original Deposit was recorded at the historical amount of C$40.0 million. As a result of the Amended Sandstorm Agreement, the deferred revenue amount was adjusted to reflect the $6.8 million Refund which was recorded at the foreign exchange amount at the date of the Refund resulting in a net balance of C$30.9 million. This amount is subject to foreign currency fluctuations upon conversion to U.S. dollars at each reporting period. The $6.8 million Refund was paid with $5.5 million in cash and the issuance of $1.3 million of common shares of the Company. On March 1, 2016, the Company issued 5,128,604 common shares to Sandstorm at a price of C$0.3496 per common share pursuant to the Agreement to Amend. The Deposit contains a significant financing component and, as such, the Company recognizes a financing charge at each reporting period and grosses up the deferred revenue balance to recognize the significant financing element that is part of this contract at a discount rate of 8 %. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the deferred revenue balance totaled $ million (2020—$ million, 2019—$ million).

Disclosure of classes of share capital [abstract]
Share capital	1 0 Share capital a) Common shares The Company’s authorized share capital consists of unlimited common shares without par value. At December 31, 2021, the Company had 192,687,906 (December 31, 2020 – 186,530,002) shares issued and outstanding. b) Net loss per common share Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. All share options and equity settled instruments outstanding at each period end have been excluded from the weighted average common share calculation as they are anti-dilutive. c) Private placement On September 14, 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered one-half d) Share options The Company provides share-based compensation to its directors, officers, employees, and consultants through grants of share options. The Company has adopted a stock option plan (the “Plan”) to grant options to directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire up to 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Options granted can have a term of up to ten years and an exercise price typically not less than the Company’s closing share price on the TSX on the last trading day before the date of grant. Vesting is determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Under the Plan, an option holder may elect to transform an option, in whole or in part and, in lieu of receiving shares to which the terminated option relates (the “Designated Shares”), receive the number of shares, disregarding fractions, which, when multiplied by the weighted average trading price of the shares on the TSX during the five trading days immediately preceding the day of termination (the “Fair Value” per share) of the Designated Shares, has a total dollar value equal to the number of Designated Shares multiplied by the difference between the Fair Value and the exercise price per share of the Designated Shares. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the share options. Since the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common shares, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. Companies are required to utilize an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the expense for the reporting period. Based on the best estimate, management applied the estimated forfeiture rate of nil in determining the expense recorded in the accompanying Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Share option transactions are summarized as follows: Number of share Weighted average C$ Outstanding – December 31, 2018 8,710 0.42 Granted 2,290 0.37 Exercised (663 ) 0.20 Cancelled (347 ) 0.22 Forfeited/expired (45 ) 0.54 Outstanding – December 31, 2019 9,945 0.43 Granted 1,905 0.51 Exercised (782 ) 0.29 Cancelled (358 ) 0.29 Forfeited/expired (160 ) 0.31 Outstanding – December 31, 2020 10,550 0.46 Granted 1,220 0.77 Exercised (1,595 ) 0.36 Cancelled (775 ) 0.36 Outstanding – December 31, 2021 9,400 0.52 At December 31, 2021, the following share options were outstanding and exercisable: Number of share options (000`s) Exercise price per share option C$ Expiry date 1,850 0.52 – 0.62 May – Oct 2022 2,225 0.55 – 0.63 Feb – Dec 2023 2,220 0.365 Dec 2024 1,885 0.51 Dec 2025 1,220 0.77 Dec 2026 9,400 December 31, 2021 Weighted average exercise price for exercisable options C$ 0.52 Weighted average share price for options exercised C$ 0.92 Weighted average years to expiry for exercisable share options 2.73 years For the year ended December 31, 2021, the total share-based compensation charges relating to 1,219,500 options granted to officers, employees, directors and consultants was $0.7 million (2020 - $0.4 million; 2019 - $0.3 million). The weighted average fair value at date of grant for the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 was C$0.37 (2020 – C$0.24; 2019 – C$0.20). The following weighted average assumptions were used for the Black-Scholes valuation of share options granted: 2021 2020 2019 Risk-free interest rate 1.41 % 0.41 % 1.62 % Expected life of options (years) 4.9 4.9 4.7 Expected volatility 56 % 56 % 65 % Expected dividend 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % e) Share purchase warrants As part of the Company’s private placement on September 14, 2020, the Company issued 5,139,000 Warrants. Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of C$0.60 per share for a period of 3 years. The fair value per Warrant issued during fiscal 2020 was determined to be C$0.12 using the following weighted average assumptions using the Black-Scholes option pricing model: Share price C$ 0.43 Risk-free interest rate 0.24 % Expected dividend 0.00 % Expected life 3 years Expected volatility 56 % During fiscal 2021, 4,562,578 warrants with an exercise price At December 31, 2021, the following Warrants were outstanding: Number of share purchase warrants (000’s) Exercise price per share C$ Expiry date 4,702 0.55 January 10, 2022 5,139 0.60 September 13, 2023 9,841 There were no exercises or cancellations of Warrants as at December 31, 2019 or 2020. f) Deferred share units DSUs are granted to the Company’s directors and executives as a part of compensation under the terms of the Company’s deferred share unit plan (the “DSU Plan”).

Disclosure of detailed information about financial instruments [abstract]
Financial instruments	1 4 Financial instruments a) Fair value classification of financial instruments The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Level 3 inputs are for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable and lease liabilities. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short terms to maturity. The following table summarizes the classification and carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2021 and 2020: December 31, 2021 FVTPL Amortized cost Amortized cost Total Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ — $ 7,090 $ — $ 7,090 Receivables — 40 — 40 Deposits — 12 — 12 Total financial assets $ — $ 7,142 $ — $ 7,142 Financial liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ — $ — $ 101 $ 101 Lease liabilities — — 99 99 Loan payable — — 10,262 10,262 Total financial liabilities $ — $ — $ 10,462 $ 10,462 December 31, 2020 FVTPL Amortized cost Amortized cost Total Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ — $ 7,260 $ — $ 7,260 Receivables — 28 — 28 Deposits — 12 — 12 Total financial assets $ — $ 7,300 $ — $ 7,300 Financial liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ — $ — $ 124 $ 124 Lease liabilities — — 208 208 Loan payable — — 9,615 9,615 Total financial liabilities $ — $ — $ 9,947 $ 9,947 b) Financial risk management i) Credit risk The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company limits its credit exposure on cash and cash equivalents held in bank accounts by holding its key transactional bank accounts and investments with large, highly rated financial institutions. The Company’s receivables balance was not significant and, therefore, was not exposed to significant credit risk. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. ii) Liquidity risk The Company manages liquidity risk by trying to maintain enough cash balances to ensure that it is able to meet its short term and long-term obligations as and when they fall due. Company-wide cash projections are managed centrally and regularly updated to reflect the dynamic nature of the business and fluctuations caused by commodity price and exchange rate movements. The Company’s operating results may vary due to fluctuation in commodity price, inflation, and foreign exchange rates. iii) Interest rate risk The Company’s interest rate risk arises primarily from the interest received on cash and cash equivalents and on loan payable which is at variable rates (Note 8 As at December 31, 2021, the Company has not entered into any contracts to manage interest rate risk. iv) Foreign exchange risk The functional currency of the parent company is C$. The functional currency of the significant subsidiaries and the reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. As at December 31, 2021, the Company has not entered into contracts to manage foreign exchange risk. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through the following assets and liabilities: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,090 $ 7,260 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (101 ) (124 ) $ 6,989 $ 7,136 As at December 31, 2021, with other variables unchanged, a 10% increase or decrease in the value of the USD against the currencies to which the Company is normally exposed (C$) would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $0.6 million to net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021.

For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument The following table shows the classification of the Company’s financial instruments: Financial assets / liabilities Classification Cash and cash equivalents Amortized cost Receivables Amortized cost Deposits Amortized cost Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost Lease liabilities Amortized cost Loan payable to Oyu Tolgoi LLC Amortized cost Measurement Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss / income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss. Financial assets at FVTOCI Financial assets at FVTOCI are initially recorded at fair value adjusted for transaction costs. Dividends are recognized as income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss / income unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Gains or losses recognized on the sale of the equity investment are recognized in other comprehensive loss / income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Impairment An ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. Derecognition Financial assets The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss / income.
Cash and cash equivalents	d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.
Exploration and evaluation assets	e) Exploration and evaluation assets All direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property interest are capitalized in the period incurred. Exploration and evaluation costs are charged to operations in the period incurred until such time as it has been determined that a mineral property has proven and probable reserves and the property is economically viable, in which case subsequent evaluation costs incurred to develop a mineral property are capitalized.
Property, plant and equipment	f) Property, plant and equipment Mineral property interests and mine development costs All exploration and evaluation expenditures and property maintenance costs incurred for projects outside the boundary of a known mineral deposit containing proven and probable reserves are expensed as incurred to the date of establishing that property costs are economically recoverable. Development expenditures are those incurred subsequent to the establishment of economic recoverability and after a number of key development and milestones have been achieved. These milestones include obtaining sufficient financial resources, permits, and licenses to develop the mineral property. Development costs are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the related property. Mineral property and mine development costs capitalized are amortized using the units-of-production Plant and equipment Items of plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depletion and amortization. Cost includes all expenditures incurred to bring assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be operated in the manner intended by management, including estimated decommissioning and restoration costs and, where applicable, borrowing costs. If significant parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of plant and equipment. Depreciation is recorded on a declining balance basis at rates ranging from 20% to 30% per annum. No depletion and amortization is recorded until the asset is substantially complete and available for its intended use. Impairment of non-current The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows to be derived from continuing use of the asset or CGU are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
Long-term investments	g) Long-term investments Long-term investments in companies in which the Company has voting interests of 20% or more or where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, the Company’s share of the investees’ earnings and losses is included in operations and its investments therein are adjusted by a like amount. Dividends received are credited to the long-term investment accounts.
Decommissioning obligations	h) Decommissioning obligations The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, legal or constructive obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. Initially, a provision for a decommissioning obligation is recognized at its net present value in the period in which it is incurred, using a discounted cash flow technique with market-based risk-free discount rates and estimates of the timing and amount of the settlement of the obligation. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding decommissioning cost is added to the carrying amount of the related asset. Following initial recognition of the decommissioning obligation, the carrying amount of the liability is increased for the passage of time and adjusted for changes to significant estimates including the current discount rate, the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation and the requirements of the relevant legal and regulatory framework. Subsequent changes in the provisions resulting from new disturbance, updated cost estimates, changes to estimated lives of operations and revisions to discount rates are also capitalized to the related property, plant and equipment. Amounts capitalized to the related property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the lives of the assets to which they relate. The amortization or unwinding of the discount applied in establishing the net present value of provisions is charged to expense and is included within finance costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss / income.
Other provisions	i) Other provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources that can be reliably estimated will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.
Taxation	j) Taxation Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred taxes are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss / income except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss / income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of unused tax losses and credits, as well as temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on enacted or substantively enacted laws at the reporting date. The Company computes the provision for deferred income taxes under the liability method. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Future taxable profits are estimated using an income forecast derived from cash flow projections, based on detailed life-of-mine Deferred tax is not recognized for the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Company is subject to assessments by various taxation authorities, who may interpret tax legislation differently from the Company. The final amount of taxes to be paid depends on a number of factors, including the outcomes of audits, appeals or negotiated settlements. Such differences are accounted for based on management’s best estimate of the probable outcome of these matters. The Company must make significant estimates and judgments in respect of its provision for income taxes and the composition and measurement of its deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The Company’s operations are, in part, subject to foreign tax laws where interpretations, regulations and legislation are complex and continually changing. As a result, there are usually some tax matters in question that may, upon resolution in the future, result in adjustments to the amount of deferred income tax assets and liabilities; those adjustments may be material.
Share-based compensation	k) Share-based compensation The Company’s stock option plan allows the Company’s directors, officers, employees, and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in reserves. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Where options are subject to vesting, each vesting tranche is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Share-based compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by a charge to profit or loss. For employees, the compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period which approximates the vesting period. Compensation expense for share options granted to non-employees non-employees re-measured At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options that are expected to vest. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees
Deferred share units	l) Deferred share units The Company has established a deferred share unit plan under which deferred share units (“DSUs”) are granted to directors and officers of the Company as part of long-term incentive compensation. DSUs are classified as equity settled share-based payment transactions as the participants will receive either common shares of the Company or payment of cash, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, following a redemption event. As such, the Company recognizes the expense based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares at the grant date and a corresponding increase in equity for the eventual redemption when the DSUs are issued.
Loss per share	m) Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the weighted average common shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of share options and share purchase warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional common shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding share options and equity settled instruments were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting periods.
Related party transactions	n) Related party transactions Parties are considered related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered related if they are subject to common control or significant influence. A transaction is considered a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Right-of-use assets and lease liability	o) Right-of-use At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset during the term of the arrangement exists, and if the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices. As a lessee, the Company recognizes a right-of-use right-of-use The right-of-use right-of-use A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of: • fixed payments, including in-substance • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; • exercise prices of purchase options if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if there is a change in the estimate or assessment of the expected amount payable under a residual value guarantee, purchase, extension or termination option. Variable lease payments not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability are charged directly to profit or loss. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use low-value
Warrants issued in equity financing transactions	p) Warrants issued in equity financing transactions The Company engages in equity financing transactions to obtain the funds necessary to continue operations and explore and evaluate mineral properties. These equity financing transactions may involve issuance of common shares or units. A unit comprises a certain number of common shares and a certain number of share purchase warrants. Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing agreement, the warrants are exercisable into additional common shares prior to expiry at a price stipulated by the agreement. Warrants that are part of units are valued based on the relative fair value method and included in share capital with the common shares that were concurrently issued. Warrants that are issued as payment for an agency fee or other transactions costs are accounted for as share-based
Standards issued or amended but not yet effective	q) Standards issued or amended but not yet effective The Company has not applied the following revised IFRS that has been issued but was not yet effective at December 31, 2021. This accounting standard is not currently expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s accounting policies or financial statements. • IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use (effective January 1, 2022). The amendment prohibits deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sale proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
