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).
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 August 15, 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.

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, judgments, 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 the interim 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 June 30, 2023, the Company applied the material accounting policy information and critical accounting estimates and judgments 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 Income Taxes). 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 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounted Estimates and Errors). 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.

The Company shall retain a 2% NSR on the property, three-quarters of which may be purchased by the Optionee for $1,500. The Agreement was subject to certain closing conditions, which were met on January 25, 2023. The first option payment, comprising a cash payment of $50 and 2,500,000 common shares of Ophir Gold with a fair value of $625, was received upon closing. The common shares of Ophir Gold have been classified as marketable securities (note 3).

Share issuances
Six months ended June 30, 2023:
In March 2023, the Company issued 6,076,500 flow-through shares for gross proceeds of $8,750 (“March 2023 Offering”). Share issue costs related to the March 2023 Offering totaled $824, which included $525 in commissions and $299 in other issuance costs. A reconciliation of the impact of the March 2023 Offering on share capital is as follows:
The Company closed the “April 2022 Offering”, a non-brokered private equity placement, for gross proceeds of $11,000 and consisted of 13,750,000 common shares priced at $0.80 per share. Share issue costs related to the April 2022 Offering totaled $136.
Note 9: Share option and warrant reserve
(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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the share-based compensation expense was as follows:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 85,000 and 2,533,425 share options, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 – 1,685,000 and 3,430,000, respectively) 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 June 30, 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.
The weighted average fair value per option of these share options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was calculated as $0.36 and $0.48, respectively, 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.
The number of share options issued and outstanding and the weighted average exercise price were as follows:

(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.
Fury Gold Mines Limited
Notes to Q2 2023 Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where noted – Unaudited)
15
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 June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – Level 1).
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no financial assets or financial liabilities transferred, measured, and recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position at fair value that would be categorized as Level 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, the Company had unrestricted cash of $14,030 (December 31, 2022 – $10,309), working capital surplus of $12,471 (December 31, 2022 – $10,554), which the Company defines as current assets less current liabilities, and an accumulated deficit of $137,796 (December 31, 2022 – $131,841). The Company notes that the flow-through share premium liability, which reduced the Company’s working capital by $3,276 (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 and six months ended June 30, 2023, Fury Gold recognized net losses of $3,293 and $5,955, respectively, (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 – net loss of $5,577 and net earnings of $40,059). 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:

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 $141 and $226 were made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, in respect of these mineral claims.
During the six months ended June 30, 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 of which 2,606 metre has been drilled as at June 30, 2023. The company also entered a helicopter service agreement in May 2023 with a minimum length of 120 days, starting on June 1, 2023.

(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where noted – Unaudited)
16
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 result in $203 impact on the Company’s net income.
