Fury Gold Mines Limited | 4 |
Note 1: Nature of operations |
Fury Gold Mines Limited (the “Company” or “Fury Gold”) was incorporated on June 9, 2008, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE-American, with its common shares trading under the symbol FURY. The Company’s registered and records office is at 1500-1055 West Georgia Street Vancouver, BC, V6E 4N7 and the mailing address is 1630-1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 2K3.
The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of resource projects in Canada. At March 31, 2023, the Company had two principal projects: Eau Claire in Quebec and Committee Bay in Nunavut, and also holds a 50.022% interest in the Eleonore South Joint Venture (“ESJV”), with the remaining 49.978% held by Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”). Additionally, the Company holds a 23.5% interest in Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (“Dolly Varden”), which owns the Kitsault project in British Columbia and a 25% interest in Universal Mineral Services Limited (“UMS”), a private shared-services provider (note 5).
Response to COVID-19
While the Company continues to monitor developments with regards to COVID-19 and permitted activities, there were no impacts to the Company’s operating activities during the first three months of 2023 arising from COVID-19.
Note 2: Basis of presentation |
Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “interim financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain disclosures included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements (the “consolidated financial statements”) prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRICs”) have been condensed or omitted herein. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 10, 2023.
Basis of preparation and consolidation
These interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the Company’s returns. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
The subsidiaries (with a beneficial interest of 100%) of the Company at March 31, 2023 were as follows:
Subsidiary | Place of incorporation | Functional currency |
North Country Gold Corp. | BC, Canada | CAD |
Eastmain Resources Inc. | ON, Canada | CAD |
Eastmain Mines Inc. (a) | Canada | CAD |
Fury Gold USA Limited (b) | Delaware, U.S.A. | USD |
(a) Company incorporated federally in Canada.
(b) Fury USA provides certain administrative services with respect to employee benefits for US resident personnel.
Fury Gold Mines Limited Notes to Q1 2023 Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where noted – Unaudited) | 5 |
Investments in associates and joint arrangements
These interim financial statements also include the following joint arrangement and investments in associates:
Associates and joint arrangement | Ownership interest | Location | Classification and accounting method |
Dolly Varden | 23.5% | BC, Canada | Associate; equity method |
UMS | 25.0% | BC, Canada | Associate; equity method |
ESJV | 50.022% | Quebec, Canada | Joint operation |
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value (note 13). All amounts are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Reference to US$ are to United States dollars. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Segmented information
The Company’s operating segments are reviewed by the key decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral resource properties, and in one geographical location, Canada.
Critical accounting estimates, judgements, and policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that may have a significant impact on consolidated financial statements. Estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates.
In preparing the Company’s interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company applied the material accounting policy information and critical accounting estimates and judgements disclosed in notes 3 and 5, respectively, of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Application of new and revised accounting standards:
On May 7, 2021, the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12). The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption (“IRE”) so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. As a result, companies will need to recognize a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial recognition of a lease and a decommissioning provision. The adoption of the new standard did not impact the financial statements of the Company.
On February 12, 2021, the IASB issued Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8). The amendments require the disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than disclosing significant accounting policies and clarifies how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The adoption of the new standard did not impact the financial statements of the Company.
On February 12, 2021, the IASB issued Disclosure Initiative – Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements). The amendments help companies provide useful accounting policy disclosures. The adoption of the new standard did not impact the financial statements of the Company.

Note 9: Share option and warrant reserves |
(a) Share-based compensation expense
The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for all share-based payments to directors, officers, employees, and other service providers. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the share-based compensation expense was as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company granted 2,893,800 (March 31, 2022 – 1,745,000) share options to directors, officers, employees, and certain consultants who provide certain on-going services to the Company, representative of employee services. The Company’s executive officer option grants are subject to vesting restrictions, representing certain performance measures to be met. As at March 31, 2023, it is not considered probable that those performance measures will be achieved, therefore those options have been excluded from the share-based compensation expense recognized.
Fury Gold Mines Limited Notes to Q1 2023 Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where noted – Unaudited) | 11 |
The weighted average fair value per option of these share options was calculated as $0.48 (March 31, 2022 - $0.43) using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the grant date using the following weighted average assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the Government of Canada benchmark bond yields and treasury bills with a remaining term that approximates the expected life of the share-based options. The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical and implied volatility of the Company’s common shares. The expected forfeiture rate and the expected life in years are based on historical trends.
(b) Share option plan
The Company maintains a rolling share option plan providing for the issuance of share options up to 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant. The Company may grant share options from time to time to its directors, officers, employees, and other service providers. The share options typically vest as to 25% on the date of the grant and 12.5% every three months thereafter for a total vesting period of 18 months.

(b) Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value
The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements are as follows:
Level 1 – fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – fair values based on inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – fair values based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The Company’s policy to determine when a transfer occurs between levels is to assess the impact at the date of the event or the change in circumstances that could result in a transfer. No transfers occurred between the levels during the period.
The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis were the Company’s marketable securities which were classified as Level 1 at March 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – Level 1).
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no financial assets or financial liabilities measured and recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position at fair value that would be categorized as level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
(c) Financial instruments and related risks
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to liquidity risk, credit risk and market risks, which include currency risk and price risk. As at March 31, 2023, the primary risks were as follows:
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company proactively manages its capital resources and has in place a budgeting and cash management process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its current exploration plans and achieve its growth objectives. The Company ensures that there is sufficient liquidity available to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash outflows from exploration activities, and its holdings of cash and marketable securities. The Company monitors and adjusts, when required, these exploration programs as well as corporate administrative costs to ensure that adequate levels of working capital are maintained.

As at March 31, 2023, the Company had unrestricted cash of $16,541 (December 31, 2022 – $10,309), working capital surplus of $13,898 (December 31, 2022 –$10,554), which the Company defines as current assets less current liabilities, and an accumulated deficit of $134,502 (December 31, 2022 – $131,841). The Company notes that the flow-through share premium liability, which reduced the Company’s working capital by $3,889 (December 31, 2022 – nil), is not settled through cash payment. Instead, the flow-through share premium liability will be drawn down as the Company incurs exploration expenditures for the Eau Claire project. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Fury Gold recognized a net loss of $2,661 (three months ended March 31, 2022 – earnings of $45,636). The Company expects to incur future operating losses in relation to exploration activities. With no source of operating cash flow, there is no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its mineral properties.
The Company’s contractual obligations are as follows:
|
| Within 1 year |
|
| 2 to 3 years |
|
| Over 3 years |

The Company also makes certain payments arising on mineral claims and leases on an annual or bi-annual basis to ensure all the Company’s properties remain in good standing. Cash payments of $85 were made during the three months ended March 31, 2023, in respect of these mineral claims.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a drilling services contract for the 2023 exploration program. The Company has committed to a minimum 6,000 metre drilling program with the contractor.
Credit risk
The Company’s cash and accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparties to the Company’s financial instruments will cause a loss to the Company by failing to pay their obligations. The amount of credit risk to which the Company is exposed is considered insignificant as the Company’s cash is held with highly rated financial institutions in interest-bearing accounts and the accounts receivable primarily consist of sales tax receivables and a receivable from a reputable supplier of services in Canada.

Market risk
This is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are as follows:
i. | Currency risk |
|
|
| The Company is exposed to currency risk by having balances and transactions in currencies that are different from its functional currency (the Canadian dollar). The Company’s foreign currency exposure related to its financial assets and liabilities held in US dollars was as follows: |

A 10% increase or decrease in the US dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate would not have a material impact on the Company’s net loss.
ii. | Price risk |
|
|
| The Company holds certain investments in marketable securities (note 3) which are measured at fair value, being the closing share price of each equity security at the date of the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position. The Company is exposed to changes in share prices which would result in gains and losses being recognized in the earnings for the period. A 10% increase or decrease in the Company’s marketable securities’ share prices would not have a material impact on the Company’s net income. |
