Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Calico Resources Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Calico Resources Corp., which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at June 30, 2015 and 2014 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income/(loss), changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Calico Resources Corp. as at June 30, 2015 and 2014 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that at June 30, 2015, the Company had net loss of $810,920 for the year then ended and an accumulated deficit of $9,577,023 since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
For the year ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
1. | Nature of operations |
Calico Resources Corp. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Calico Resources USA Corp. are focused on advancing its 100% owned Grassy Mountain Gold Project (“Grassy Mountain”) located in Oregon, U.S.A. The Company’s shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “CKB”. The head office and principal address of the Company is located at Suite 615, 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2V6. The Company’s registered and records office address is Suite 2600, 1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3X1.
2. | Statement of compliance and basis of preparation |
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue on September 28, 2015 by the directors of the Company.
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company 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. A different basis of measurement may be appropriate if the Company was not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2015, the Company had not achieved profitable operations, had a net loss of $810,920 for the year ended June 30, 2015 and accumulated losses of $9,577,023 since inception, had not advanced its mineral properties to commercial production and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon successful results from its mineral property exploration activities and its ability to attain profitable operations to generate funds and/or its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet its current and future obligations. Although the Company has been successful in the past in raising funds to continue operations, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.
Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are
continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes may differ.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies and estimates that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below.
Exploration and evaluation assets
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates made may change if new information becomes available. If, after an expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of such expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss in the period the new information becomes available.
Title to mineral property interests
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Share-based payments
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility, interest rates and, dividend yield and expected vesting dates and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 8.
3. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled entity. Details of its controlled entity are as follows:

*Percentage of voting power is in proportion to ownership.
Inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation
The functional currency of each of the Company’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the parent Company’s functional currency.
Transactions and balances:
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items are measured at historical cost and continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items are measured at fair value and are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in the statement of loss in the period in which they arise.
Reporting currency translation:
The financial statements of the subsidiary have the US dollar as the functional currency and are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: assets and liabilities – at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position, and income and expenses – at the average rate of the period (as this is considered a reasonable approximation to actual rates). All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustments.
Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditures relating to mineral properties include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when events and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.
The Company may occasionally enter into arrangements, whereby the Company may sell all or part of a mineral interest.
Any cash consideration received from an agreement is credited against the costs previously capitalized to the mineral interest given up by the Company, with any excess cash accounted for as a gain on disposal.
As the Company currently has no operational income, any incidental income earned in connection with the exploration activities are applied as a reduction to capitalized exploration costs.
Share capital
Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares, share warrants and flow-through shares are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Share-based payments
Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss over the vesting period. Performance vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Non-vesting conditions and market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, as measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive income (loss) over the remaining vesting period.
Share-based payment arrangements in which the Company receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions. If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be estimated reliably, the share-based payment transaction is measured at fair value of the equity instruments granted at the date the Company receives the goods or the services or is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.
Financial assets are classified based on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. All transactions related to financial instruments are recorded on a trade date basis. There are no financial assets designated as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), held to maturity, or available for sale. The Company’s accounting policy for the remaining financial asset category is as follows:
Loans and Receivables
These assets are non-derivative financial assets resulting from the delivery of cash or other assets by a lender to a borrower in return for a promise to repay on a specified date or dates, or on demand. They are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue and subsequently carried at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.
The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents as loans and receivables.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, based on the purpose for which the liability was incurred, and comprise trade payables and accrued liabilities and loans payable. These liabilities are initially recognized at fair value net of any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the instrument and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. This ensures that any interest expense over the period to repayment is at a constant rate on the balance of the liability carried in the statement of financial position. Interest expense in this context includes initial transaction costs and premiums payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding. The Company has no financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), or held for trading.
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the period which are unpaid. Trade payable amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Trade payables and accrued liabilities and loans payable are classified as other financial liabilities.
Impairment of Financial Assets
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired, if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets.
Impairment of long lived assets
Long lived assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized
whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
The recoverable amount is the greater of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and, other highly liquid investments with original maturities up to three months that can be redeemed into known amounts at any time without penalty.
Income taxes
Current income tax:
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly is recorded in other comprehensive income or equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred income tax:
Deferred income tax is accounted for by providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred income taxes is not recognized for temporary differences related to the initial recognition of the assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit nor investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures to the extent it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The amount of deferred income tax provided is based on the expected manner and expected date of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the weighted number of average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from the
exercise of such instruments were used to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting period.
Restoration and environmental obligations
The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-term assets, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future restoration cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized along with a corresponding increase in the restoration provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The restoration asset will be depreciated on the same basis as other mining assets. As at June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any significant restoration or environmental obligations.
Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Company’s estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income (loss) for the period.
Other Provisions
Provisions are recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount that have arisen as a result of past transactions, including legal or constructive obligations. The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
New accounting standards and interpretations adopted
Effective July 1, 2014, the Company adopted the following accounting standards issued by IASB.
IAS 24— Related Party Disclosures
The amendments to IAS 24 clarify that a management entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, that provides key management services to a reporting entity, or its parent, is a related party of the reporting entity. The amendments also require an entity to disclose amounts incurred for key management personnel services provided by a separate management entity. This replaces the more detailed disclosure by category required for other key management personnel compensation. The application of this IAS did not have a material impact on the amounts reported for the current or prior years but may affect the disclosure for future transactions or arrangements.

The IASB issued IFRIC 21 – Levies (“IFRIC 21”), an interpretation of IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (“Obligating Event”). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the Obligating Event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. The application of this IFRS did not have a material impact on the amounts reported for the current or prior years but may affect the accounting for future transactions or arrangements.
The following standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective:
The following standards, interpretations and amendments, which have not been applied to in these consolidated financial statements, will or may have an effect on the Company’s future consolidated financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating these new standards.
IFRS 9 — Financial instruments, classification and measurement
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is part of the IASB’s wider project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard.
4. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include guaranteed investment certificates with a term to maturity of up to three months from date of acquisition and which can be redeemed at any time without penalty.

On February 5, 2013, the Company exercised its option to acquire a 100% interest in the Grassy Mountain Project from Seabridge Gold Inc. (“Seabridge”) by issuing 6,433,000 common shares (the “Issued Shares”) and 4,567,000 Special Warrants to Seabridge. The shares and Special Warrants were valued at $0.19 each which was based on the trading price of the shares at the date of issuance. Each Special Warrant is exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the Company (a “Special Warrant Share”) for no additional consideration. The Special Warrants can only be exercised to the extent that, after exercise, Seabridge holds less than 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Calico has agreed to ask its shareholders to approve the exercise of those outstanding Special Warrants and approve Seabridge then holding more than 20% of the issued shares in Calico. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to guarantee the obligations of Calico Resources USA Corp., including those guaranteed to Seabridge.
On September 26, 2013, Seabridge acquired, on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Seabridge Gold Corp., 1,671,000 common shares upon exercise of 1,671,000 Special Warrants. Including the initial 2,000,000 common shares issued under the original definitive option agreement dated April 18, 2011, at that time, Seabridge then owned and controlled 10,104,000 common shares and 2,896,000 Special Warrants of the Company, representing 19.55% of the outstanding common shares and 100% of the Special Warrants of the Company.
On February 19, 2014, the Company held its Annual and Special General Meeting of its shareholders. Shareholders approved the exercise by Seabridge of the balance of its 2,896,000 Special Warrants, then resulting in Seabridge holding 13 million common shares of the Company, representing 23.81% of Calico’s common shares at that time. With subsequent share issuances, this interest has fallen below 20%.
There are existing letters of credit posted with the State of Oregon – Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) in the amount of $146,200 in respect of possible reclamation work required on the property. This existing security has been posted by Seabridge. The Company is required to use reasonable commercial efforts to arrange for the release of the existing security and replace this existing security with new letters of credit or reclamation bonds as soon as possible after registered title to the property has transferred to the Company. The intention of the Company is to replacement of security; however this has not been completed.
On November 1, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment of the mining lease and agreement regarding Grassy Mountain with Sherry and Yates Inc., which originally provided the Company with an option to buy down the royalty to 1%, with a cash payment of $2.1 US million at any time up to February 16, 2015. The terms of the agreement as originally entered into on February 16, 2004 provided for production royalty payments to be based on the price of gold. The rates are as follows:
|
|
Production Royalty Rate on Gross Proceeds | Gold Price Per Ounce ($US) |
4.0% | Less than $500 |
5.0% | $500-800 |
6.0% | Over $800 |
In addition, the original agreement provides for a 4% production royalty on any other metals, other than gold.
On November 1, 2014, Sherry & Yates Inc. agreed to amend the buy down option as follows:
from February 17, 2015 to February 16, 2016 the royalty can be bought down to 1% for $2.2 US million;
from February 17, 2016 to February 16, 2017 the royalty can be bought down to 1.25% for $2.3 US million; and
from February 17, 2017 to February 16, 2018 the royalty can be bought down to 1.5% for $2.4 US million.
The advance royalty payment remains the same at $100,000 US per year, due on February 15th of each year.

11. | 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 and cash equivalents held in bank accounts. The majority of cash and cash equivalents are deposited in bank accounts which are held with major banks in Canada and U.S.A. This risk is managed by using major banks that are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies.
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.
Historically, the Company’s main source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash and cash equivalents, 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.
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 does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
The following is an analysis of the Canadian dollar equivalent of financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in U.S. dollars:
| June 30, 2015
| June 30, 2014
|
| ||
Cash and cash equivalents | $5,551 | $3,934 |
Accounts payable | (478,185) | (271,447) |
| ||
| $ (472,634) | $ (267,513) |
|
Based on the above net exposures, as at June 30, 2015, a 10% change in the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate would impact the Company’s net loss by $47,263.
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 is not exposed to significant interest rate risks.
Capital management
The Company’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity, comprising share capital, net of accumulated deficit.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Fair value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and accrued liabilities and loans payable. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments.
Operating segments
The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment – the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.
Geographic segments
The Company’s non-current assets are located in the following countries:

Calico Resources Corp. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Calico Resources USA Corp. are focused on advancing its 100% owned Grassy Mountain Gold Project (“Grassy Mountain”) located in Oregon, U.S.A. The Company’s shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “CKB”. The head office and principal address of the Company is located at Suite 615, 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2V6. The Company’s registered and records office address is Suite 300 – 1168 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6B 2S2.
2. | Statement of compliance and basis of preparation |
These condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements were authorized for issue on May 27, 2016 by the directors of the Company.
Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2015.
The condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2015.
Going concern
These condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company 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. A different basis of measurement may be appropriate if the Company was not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2016, the Company had not achieved profitable operations, had a net loss of $679,660 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 and accumulated losses of $10,256,683 since inception, had not advanced its mineral properties to commercial production and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon successful results from its mineral property exploration activities and its ability to attain profitable operations to generate funds and/or its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet its current and future obligations. Although the Company has been successful in the past in raising funds to continue operations, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. (See also Note 12)

Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.
Significant accounting judgments and estimates
These condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements are unaudited and prepared on a condensed basis in accordance with the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 3 of the Company’s Annual Financial Statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2015. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements for the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 should be read together with the Annual Financial Statements as at, and for the year ended, June 30, 2015.
The following standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective:
The following standards, interpretations and amendments, which have not been applied in these condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements, may have an effect on the Company’s future condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating these new standards.
IFRS 9 — Financial instruments, classification and measurement
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is part of the IASB's wider project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard.
3. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include guaranteed investment certificates with a term to maturity of up to three months from date of acquisition and which can be redeemed at any time without penalty.

USA – Oregon
On February 5, 2013, the Company exercised its option to acquire a 100% interest in the Grassy Mountain Project from Seabridge Gold Inc. (“Seabridge”) by issuing 6,433,000 common shares (the “Issued Shares”) and 4,567,000 Special Warrants to Seabridge. The shares and Special Warrants were valued at $0.19 each which was based on the trading price of the shares at the date of issuance. Each Special Warrant is exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the Company (a “Special Warrant Share”) for no additional consideration. The Special Warrants can only be exercised to the extent that, after exercise, Seabridge holds less than 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Calico has agreed to ask its shareholders to approve the exercise of those outstanding Special Warrants and approve Seabridge then holding more than 20% of the issued shares in Calico. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to guarantee the obligations of Calico Resources USA Corp., including those guaranteed to Seabridge.
On September 26, 2013, Seabridge acquired, on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Seabridge Gold Corp., 1,671,000 common shares upon exercise of 1,671,000 Special Warrants. Including the initial 2,000,000 common shares issued under the original definitive option agreement dated April 18, 2011, at that time, Seabridge then owned and controlled 10,104,000 common shares and 2,896,000 Special Warrants of the Company, representing 19.55% of the outstanding common shares and 100% of the Special Warrants of the Company.

On February 19, 2014, the Company held its Annual and Special General Meeting of its shareholders. Shareholders approved the exercise by Seabridge of the balance of its 2,896,000 Special Warrants, then resulting in Seabridge holding 13 million common shares of the Company, representing 23.81% of Calico’s common shares at that time. With subsequent share issuances, this interest has fallen below 20%.
There are existing letters of credit posted with the State of Oregon – Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) in the amount of $146,200 in respect of possible reclamation work required on the property. This existing security has been posted by Seabridge. The Company is required to use reasonable commercial efforts to arrange for the release of the existing security and replace this existing security with new letters of credit or reclamation bonds as soon as possible after registered title to the property has transferred to the Company. The intention of the Company is to replace the security; however this has not been completed.
On November 1, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment of the mining lease and agreement regarding Grassy Mountain with Sherry & Yates Inc., which originally provided the Company with an option to buy down the royalty to 1%, with a cash payment of $2.1 US million at any time up to February 16, 2015. The terms of the agreement as originally entered into on February 16, 2004 provided for production royalty payments to be based on the price of gold. The rates are as follows:
Production Royalty Rate on Gross ProceedsGold Price Per Ounce ($US)
4.0%Less than $500
5.0%$500-800
6.0%Over $800
In addition, the original agreement provides for a 4% production royalty on any other metals, other than gold.
On November 1, 2014, Sherry & Yates Inc. agreed to amend the buy down option as follows:
| · | from February 17, 2015 to February 16, 2016 the royalty can be bought down to 1% for $2.2 US million; |
| · | from February 17, 2016 to February 16, 2017 the royalty can be bought down to 1.25% for $2.3 US million; and |
| · | from February 17, 2017 to February 16, 2018 the royalty can be bought down to 1.5% for $2.4 US million. |
The advance royalty payment remains the same at $100,000 US per year, due on February 15th of each year.

9.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 and cash equivalents held in bank accounts. The majority of cash and cash equivalents are deposited in bank accounts which are held with major banks in Canada and U.S.A. This risk is managed by using major banks that are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies.
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.
Historically, the Company’s main source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash and cash equivalents, 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.

9.Financial risk management (cont’d)
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 does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
The following is an analysis of the Canadian dollar equivalent of financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in U.S. dollars:
| March 31, 2016 | June 30, 2015 |
Cash and cash equivalents | $151,645 | $5,551 |
Accounts payable | (224,907) | (478,185) |
| $(73,262) | $(472,634) |
Based on the above net exposures, as at March 31, 2016, a 10% change in the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate would impact the Company’s net loss by $7,326.
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 is not exposed to significant interest rate risks.
Capital management
The Company’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity, comprising share capital, net of accumulated deficit.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Fair value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and accrued liabilities and loans payable. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments.

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, holders of Calico Shares ("Calico Shareholders") will be entitled to receive 0.07 of a share of common stock of Paramount ("Paramount Shares") in exchange for each Calico Share held (the "Exchange Ratio"), representing an implied offer price of CDN$0.112 per Calico Share and a premium of 49.2% (based on the Bank of Canada noon exchange rate of US$1.00 to CDN$1.3215 on the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Arrangement) and a premium of 45.5% based on the trailing 30-day volume weighted average trading price of Calico Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange and Paramount Shares on the NYSE MKT as of the date of the Arrangement Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Arrangement represents total consideration to Calico Shareholders of CDN$11.5 million. All existing Calico stock options will be cancelled in connection with the Arrangement. Approximately 7,171,209 Paramount Shares are expected to be issued to existing Calico Shareholders, which would result in existing Calico Shareholders owning approximately 46% of the combined company on a basic basis and approximately 43% on a fully-diluted basis (based on the Exchange Ratio, the number of issued and outstanding Calico Shares and Paramount Shares, and the number of outstanding options to acquire

The loan will be convertible into Calico Shares at a price of CDN$0.10 per share, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and will be secured by all of Calico's assets. The proceeds of the Interim Loan will be used by Calico for general corporate purposes prior to the completion of the Arrangement. In the three months ended March 31, 2016 Paramount advanced $389,670 (US$300,000) of the interim loan.
