1. Nature and continuance of operations

Giga Metals Corporation (the "Company" or "Giga Metals") was incorporated on January 17, 1983, under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The Company's common shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "GIGA" and the OTCQX under the symbol "HNCKF". 13,667,755 warrants of the Company commenced trading on the TSXV under the symbol "GIGA.WT" effective May 27, 2021. The warrants were issued under a warrant indenture dated April 23, 2021 pursuant to the Company's short form prospectus dated April 19, 2021.

The head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located at 700 West Pender Street, Suite 203, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1G8. The Company's registered address is 885 West Georgia Street, Suite 800, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3H1.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company and its subsidiaries will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. As at September 30, 2021, the Company's accumulated deficit was $59,834,242, the Company had not advanced its mineral properties to commercial production and the Company has no other source of revenue from its operations. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration activities and its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. As at September 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of $3,326,085, giving the Company the ability to meet current obligations.

During 2020 and the current period, there was a global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19. The actual and threatened spread of the virus globally has had a material adverse effect on the global economy and; specifically, the regional economies in which the Company operates. The pandemic could continue to have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company's shares and its ability to raise new capital. These factors, among others, could have a significant impact on the Company's operations.

2. Basis of preparation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

In the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has used the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

References herein to "$" are to the Canadian dollar and "US$" are to the United States dollar.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on November 26, 2021.

Turnagain Cobalt Nickel Project

The Company has a 100% interest in certain mineral claims, located along the Turnagain River in British Columbia, Canada. One claim is subject to a 4% net smelter return royalty ("NSR"). The Company has the option to purchase all or part of the NSR within four years of commercial production for a price of $1,000,000 per 1% NSR.

In July 2018, the Company sold a 2% NSR on all future metal production from the Turnagain Nickel-Cobalt Project. The Company has the right to repurchase 0.5% of the 2% NSR ("Repurchase Option") for US$20 million, which if exercised would result in a 1.5% remaining NSR. The one-time Repurchase Option is only exercisable prior to the fifth anniversary of the NSR Agreement. The purchaser of the NSR has a right of first refusal on any future sale by Giga Metals of a royalty or product stream or similar instrument.

Brazil Project

In December 2020, the Company staked 24 exploration permits in southern Piauí State, Northeast Region, Brazil.

The Company used the residual method to value the share purchase warrants within the Units with a value of $410,033 allocated to the share purchase warrants.

II) On April 27, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of 1,015,823 Units of the Company for gross proceeds of $482,070. The Units consist of 600,000 non-flow through units priced at $0.45 comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, and 415,823 flow through units priced at $0.51 comprised of one flow through common share and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one non-flow through common share at a price of $0.60 until April 27, 2024.

The flow-through premium liability was determined to be $0.06 per flow-through unit and accordingly, $24,949 was allocated to the flow-through premium liability. The Company used the residual method to value the share purchase warrants within the Units with a value of $30,475 allocated to the share purchase warrants.

In connection with the offering, the Company paid a cash commission equal to 6.5% of the gross proceeds ($451,671) and 888,404 brokers' warrants equal to 6.5% of the Units sold under the offering. Each brokers' compensation warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Unit (on a non-flow through basis) having the same terms as a Unit at the exercise price of $0.45 until April 23, 2024. The Company incurred other cash issuance costs including legal and filing fees of $323,641.

The fair value of $467,200 for the brokers' warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and was charged to share issue costs and credited to share-based payment reserve. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model were as follows: share price of $0.43; exercise price of $0.45 and $0.60; expected volatility of 106%; expected life of 3 years; a risk-free interest rate of 0.50%; and an expected dividend rate of nil.

The gross proceeds of the flow-through financing of $2,899,923 will not be available to the Company for future deduction from taxable income after renouncing the flow-through proceeds to the subscribers effective December 31, 2021. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a flow-through premium liability in the aggregate amount of $341,167 representing the value of the tax benefit to be renounced to subscribers. The flow-through premium liability will be reduced and recorded as an other income item as eligible Canadian Exploration Expenditures are incurred. As at September 30, 2021, the Company had incurred eligible Canadian Exploration Expenditures of $2,849,711 and accordingly, recorded flow-through premium income of $335,260.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not complete any equity financings.

Basic and diluted loss per share

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was based on the loss attributable to common shareholders of $1,819,760 (2020 - $1,049,833) and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 79,216,710 (2020 - 57,163,448).

Diluted loss per share did not include the effect of 6,500,000 stock options and 15,571,982 warrants as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

12. Financial instruments and financial 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 processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type 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 discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts and financial institutions. This risk is managed by using major banks and financial institutions that are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies. The Company's secondary exposure to risk is on its other receivables. This risk is minimal as receivables consist primarily of refundable government taxes.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents as well as the timing of British Columbia mining tax credits.

Historically, the Company's sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company's access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

The following is an analysis of the contractual maturities of the Company's liabilities as at September 30, 2021:

		Within one year		Between one and five years		More than five years
Trade payables and accrued liabilities	$	760,032	$	-	$	-
Lease obligation		98,183		54,219		-
Loan		-		40,000		-
Asset retirement obligations		-		-		275,000

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company has exposure to foreign exchange risk with respect to its cash balances. As at September 30, 2021, the Company had cash held in US dollars of US$20,793 and Brazilian Reals of R$16,836.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any significant interest rate risk.

Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument changes due to market risks other than foreign exchange risk or interest rate risk. The Company has no exposure to this risk.
