NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

 

On August 25, 2010, International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (“ITH”) completed a Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement”) whereby its existing Alaska mineral properties (other than the Livengood project) and related assets and the North Bullfrog mineral property and related assets in Nevada (collectively, the “Nevada and Other Alaska Business”) were indirectly spun out into a new public company, being Corvus Gold Inc. (“Corvus” or the “Company”). As part of the Arrangement, ITH transferred its wholly-owned subsidiary Corvus Gold Nevada Inc. (“Corvus Nevada”) (which held the North Bullfrog property), to Corvus and a wholly-owned Alaskan subsidiary of ITH, Talon Gold Alaska, Inc. sold to Raven Gold Alaska Inc. (“Raven Gold”), the Terra, Chisna, LMS and West Pogo properties. As a consequence of the completion of the Arrangement, the Terra, Chisna, LMS, West Pogo and North Bullfrog properties were transferred to Corvus.

 

The Company was incorporated on April 13, 2010 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect the cumulative operating results of the predecessor, as related to the mineral properties that were transferred to the Company from June 1, 2006.

 

The Company is engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties, and either joint venturing or developing these properties further or disposing of them when the evaluation is completed. At November 30, 2019, 2020, the Company had interests in properties in Nevada, U.S.A.

 

The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company has no source of revenue, and has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead and maintain its mineral property interests. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent on several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of mineral properties. The carrying value of the Company’s mineral properties does not reflect current or future values.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presume the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and/or obtaining additional financing.

 

In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future within one year from the date the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are issued. There is substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as going concern, as explained in the following paragraphs.

 

The Company has sustained significant losses from operations, has negative cash flows, and has an ongoing requirement for capital investment to explore its mineral properties.  As at November 30, 2019, 2020, the Company had working capital of $22,608,364$6,388,051 compared to working capital of $4,204,082$14,568,048 as at May 31, 2019.  On June 5, 2019, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement equity financing and issued 500,000 common shares at a price of $1.80 per common share for gross proceeds of $900,000. On August 19, 2019, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement equity financing and issued 500,000 common shares at a price of $2.60 per common share for gross proceeds of $1,300,000. On October 10, 2019, the Company closed a public bought deal equity financing and issued 11,500,000 common shares at a price of $2.00 per common share for gross proceeds of $23,000,000.2020.  Based on its current plans, budgeted expenditures, and cash requirements, the Company hasdoes not have sufficient cash to finance its current plans for the at least 12 months from the date the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years.  There is no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that these financings will be on terms at least as favourable to the Company as those previously obtained, or at all. As well, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that impact the global financial markets as a whole, including any adverse consequences that may be brought about by pandemics, or increased severity of existing pandemics, which may reduce resources, share prices and financial liquidity and which may severely limit the financing capital available in the mineral exploration sector. Should such financing not be available in that time-frame, the Company will be required to reduce its activities and will not be able to carry out all of its presently planned exploration and development activities on its currently anticipated scheduling.   

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

 

All currency amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q10-Q and Article 108-03 of Regulation S-XS-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2019 2020 as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K. In the opinion of the Company’s management these condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at November 30, 2019 2020 and the results of its operations for the six months then ended. Operating results for the six months ended November 30, 2019 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2020. 2021. The 20192020 year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

 

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. While management believes the estimates to be reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”), Corvus Gold (USA) Inc. (“Corvus USA”) (a Nevada corporation), Corvus Nevada (a Nevada corporation), Raven Gold (an Alaska corporation), SoN Land and Water LLC (“SoN”) (a Nevada limited liability company) and Mother Lode Mining Company LLC (a Nevada limited liability company). All intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method, the dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive. For the period ended November 30, 2019, 11,135,0002020, 9,825,000 outstanding stock options (2018(201910,315,000)11,135,000) were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as their inclusion was anti-dilutive.

 

3.ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND AMENDMENTS

Accounting Standards Update: No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842)(“Topic 842 – Leases”)

Effective June 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 – Leases, which specifies how to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single accounting model, requiring the recognition of assets and liabilities for all major leases previously classified as “operational leases”.

 

a)

3.

The Company’s accounting policy under Topic 842 – Leases

Definition of a lease

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the lease definition for existing contracts on transition. It applied the definition of a lease under Topic 842 – Leases to existing contracts as of June 1, 2019.

The Company has also elected to apply the practical expedient to account for each lease component and any non-lease components as a single lease component.

8

As a lessee

The Company leases its head office space, based on lease agreement having a fixed duration until January 30, 2023 and a Denver office space, based on lease agreement having a fixed duration until August 31, 2020.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, based on the initial amount of the lease liability. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

The ongoing lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is measured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

b)Impact of transition to Topic 842 – Leases

Effective June 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 – Leases using the modified retrospective approach and accordingly the information presented for the period ended November 30, 2018 has not been restated. The cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in deficit at June 1, 2019. Comparative amounts for November 30, 2018 remain as previously reported.

On initial application, the Company has elected to record right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease receivables and/or lease liabilities. Lease receivables and liabilities have been measured by discounting future lease payments at the incremental borrowing rate at June 1, 2019. The incremental borrowing rate applied was 10% per annum and represents the Company’s best estimate of the rate of interest that it would expect to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in the current economic environment. As of the initial date of application of Topic 842 – Leases, the remaining non-cancellable period of the office lease was three years and eight month.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application and leases of low value assets as short-term leases. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has also elected to apply the practical expedient for excluding the initial direct costs for the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application, as well as for using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

9

The application of Topic 842 – Leases to leases previously classified as operating leases, resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as at June 1, 2019 as summarized in the following table:

  June 1, 2019 prior to adoption of Topic 842 – Leases Adjustments June 1, 2019 after adoption of Topic 842 – Leases

Mother Lode Property, Nevada

 

Pursuant to a purchase agreement made effective June 9, 2017 between Corvus Nevada and Goldcorp USA, Inc. (“Goldcorp USA”), Corvus Nevada has acquired 100% of the Mother Lode property (the “Mother Lode Property”). In addition, Corvus Nevada staked two additional adjacent claim blocks to the Mother Lode Property. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.81 per common share to Goldcorp USA (note 5).USA. The Mother Lode Property is subject to an NSR in favour of Goldcorp USA. The NSR pays 1% from production at the Mother Lode Property when the price of gold is less than USD 1,400 per ounce and an additional 1% NSR for a total of 2% NSR when gold price is greater than or equal to USD 1,400 per ounce.

Alaskan Royalty Interest, Alaska

 

On June 7, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the royalties where four non-core Alaskan royalty interests owned by Corvus were sold to EMX Royalty Corporation (“EMX”) for a purchase price of $350,000. In connection with the Alaskan royalty package sale, the Company incurred $31,463 in legal fees, resulting in a total cost recovery for the Alaska Royalty Interest of $318,537.

 

The general terms of the Alaskan royalty package sale include:

 

·

Chisna project 1% NSR

·

LMS project 3% NSR

·

Goodpaster District 1% NSR

·

West Pogo project 2% NSR. The Company has retained a 1% NSR in the West Pogo project which is immediately west of the operating Pogo mine in the Goodpaster District of Alaska.

Acquisitions

 

The acquisition of title to mineral properties is a detailed and time-consuming process. The Company has taken steps, in accordance with industry norms, to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest. Although the Company has taken every reasonable precaution to ensure that legal title to its properties is properly recorded in the name of the Company (or, in the case of an option, in the name of the relevant optionor), there can be no assurance that such title will ultimately be secured.

 

Environmental Expenditures

 

The operations of the Company may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

 

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.

 

The Company has estimated the fair value of the liability for asset retirement that arose as a result of exploration activities to be $418,637$350,858 (USD 315,000) (May270,000) ( May 31, 20192020 - $419,286$373,103 (USD 309,000)270,000)). The fair value of the liability was determined to be equal to the estimated remediation costs. Due to the early stages of the project, and that extractive activities have not yet begun, the Company is unable to predict with any precision the timing of the cash flow related to the reclamation activities.

Stock options

 

Stock options awarded to employees and non-employees by the Company are measured and recognized in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss over the vesting period.

 

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan, first adopted in 2010 and then most recently amended in 2013 and 2019 (the “Amended 2010 Plan”). The essential elements of the Amended 2010 Plan provide that the aggregate number of common shares of the Company’s share capital that may be made issuable pursuant to options granted under the Amended 2010 Plan (together with any other shares which may be issued under other share compensation plans of the Company) may not exceed 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company at the time of the granting of the options. Options granted under the Amended 2010 Plan will have a maximum term of ten years. The exercise price of options granted under the Amended 2010 Plan will not be less than the greater of the market price of the common shares (as defined by TSX, currently defined as the five day volume weighted average price for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant) or the closing market price of the Company’s common shares for the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant), or such other price as may be agreed to by the Company and accepted by the TSX. Options granted under the Amended 2010 Plan vest immediately, unless otherwise determined by the directors at the date of grant.

*The Company’s share trading policy (the “Policy”) requires that all restricted persons and others who are subject to the Policy refrain from conducting any transactions involving the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities, during the period in any quarter commencing 30 days prior to the scheduled issuance of the next quarter or year-end public disclosure of the financial results as well as when there is material data on hand. In accordance with the terms of the Amended 2010 Plan, if stock options are set to expire during a restricted period and are not exercised prior to any such restriction, they will not expire but instead will be available for exercise for ten days after such restrictions are lifted. These stock options were exercised during the period ended November 30, 2020 after the restrictions were lifted.

 

The Company uses the fair value method for determining stock-based compensation for all options granted during the periods. The fair value of options granted was $1,458,958 (2018$nil (2019 - $6,939,946)$1,458,958), determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’SMANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended November 30, 2019,2020, and the related notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“(U.S. GAAP”GAAP). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements and information as a result of many factors. See section heading “NoteNote Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”Statements below. All currency amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED,INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES AND PROVEN AND PROBABLE RESERVES

 

Corvus Gold Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our,” “Corvus” or the “Company”) is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The mineral estimates in the two technical reportreports entitled “Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment for Gravity Milling and Heap Leach Processing at the Integrated Mother Lode and North Bullfrog Projects,Project, Bullfrog Mining District, Nye County, Nevada”, dated November 1, 2018 and amended on November 8, 2018,21, 2020 with an effective date of September 18, 2018October 7, 2020 (the “NBP Technical Report”), and “Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment for BIOX Mill and Heap Leach Processing at the Mother Lode Project, Bullfrog Mining District, Nye County, Nevada” dated November 21, 2020 with an effective date of October 7, 2020 (the “ML Technical Report” and together with the NBP Technical Report, the “Technical Reports”) referenced in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. As used in the Technical ReportReports referenced in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Mineral Reserve”, “Proven Mineral Reserve” and “Probable Mineral Reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects” (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended.

 

These definitions differ materially from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”). Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves, and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

 

In addition, the terms “Mineral Resource”, “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral deposit in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all, or any part, of anUnder Canadian rules, Inferred Mineral Resource will everResources can only be upgraded to a higher category.used in economic studies as provided under CIM Standards. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. An “Inferred Mineral Resource” is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

 

Accordingly, information contained in this report and the Technical ReportReports referenced in this report contain descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting under SEC Industry Guide 7 requirements.

 

The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC. These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”) and, following a two-year transition period, the SEC Modernization Rules will replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that are included in SEC Industry Guide 7. The Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules until its fiscal year beginning May 31, 2021. Under the SEC Modernization Rules, the definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” have been amended to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards and the SEC has added definitions to recognize “Measured Mineral Resources”, “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources” which are also substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards; however there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards and therefore once the Company begins reporting under the SEC Modernization Rules there is no assurance that the Company’s Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates will be the same as those reported under CIM Definition Standards as contained in this report.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO ALL INVESTORS CONCERNING ECONOMIC ASSESSMENTS THAT INCLUDE INFERRED RESOURCES

 

The Company currently holds or has the right to acquire interests in an advanced stage exploration projectprojects in Nye County, Nevada referred to as the North Bullfrog Project (the “NBP”) and the Mother Lode Project (“MLP” or “Mother Lode”). Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have no demonstrated economic viability. The preliminary economic assessmentassessments included in the Technical ReportReports on the NBP-MLP isNBP and on the MLP are preliminary in nature and includesinclude Inferred Mineral Resources that have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. It cannot be assumed that all, or any part, of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies. There is no certainty that such Inferred Mineral Resources at the NBP andor at the MLP will ever be realized. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Readers should refer to the Technical ReportReports for additional information.

 

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Current Business Activities


 

General

 

The Company’s material mineral properties are the NBP and the MLP, advanced exploration stage projects in Nevada which have a number of high-priority, bulk tonnage and high-grade vein targets (held through Corvus Nevada, a Nevada subsidiary). While exploring the NBP, the Company acquired the MLP in June 2017, which is located approximately 12 miles19 km to the south east of the NBP. The MLP was mined in the late 1980s and has substantial gold mineralization remaining unexploited extending to the north of the existing open pit mine. Exploration drilling and surface mapping have revealed that other exploration targets on the Corvus property in the Mother Lode area contain gold mineralization and are therefore being actively explored.

20

 

The primary focus of the Company will be to leverage its exploration expertise to expand its existing deposits and discover major new gold deposits. Other than with respect to the ongoing exploration of the MLP and NBP, the Company’s strategy is to leverage its other non-core assets by maintaining a retained royalty.

 

Highlights of activities during the period and to the date of this MD&A include:

 

·

The Company initiated active exploration drilling in the Lynnda Strip located north of Mother Lode. Four holes were completed at the Lynnda Strip and have encountered substantial thicknesses (up to 50m) of oxide gold mineralization with average grade >2 g/t within much broader oxide zones of over 150m averaging between 0.50 and 1 g/t gold.

Definition of a high grade feeder zone target in the Central Intrusive Zone (CIZ) at Mother Lode indicated good continuity returning 130.5 m @ 2.33 g/t gold and could expand both the grade and size of the Mother Lode gold system in the northern end of the deposit.

All drilling during the period was performed at Mother Lode and at the Lynnda Strip. A total of 28 RC drill holes were completed during the period totaling 5,989 m, of which 6 were planned as core-tail (CT) holes which are drilled to a pre-designed depth, cased and then advanced with core drilling. Nine core-tail holes were cored during the period for 1,277 m.

One core rig was drilling, completing core-tail holes and one RC rig was drilling both core-tail locations and conventional RC holes.

A Preliminary Economic Assessment technical report was updated for the North Bullfrog Project (the “NBP PEA”). The NBP drilling program completed 2,650 m of drilling in 13 holes between September 1, 2019PEA evaluated NBP as a stand-alone project using a gravity mill to produce a gravity concentrate from YellowJacket high grade mineralization and October 20, 2019.

Corporate Financial Activities

On October 10, 2019, the Company announced the completion of a $23,000,000 public bought deal financing, where the Company issued 11,500,000 common shares at a price of $2.00 per common share (the “Offering”). No warrants were issued in relation to this financing. The Offering was arranged by the sole underwriter, BMO Capital Markets. AngloGold Ashanti (USA) Inc. participated in the Offering on a pro-rata basis to maintain ownership of 19.9 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Corvus. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering (i) for exploration expenditures at the Company’s NBP and MLP and (ii) for corporate general and administrative expenses, land and permits.

NBP Drilling Activities

The most recent phase ofNo drilling was performed at NBP was completed on October 20, 2019 with a total of 11,630 m drilled in 47 holes fromNorth Bullfrog during the April 10, 2019 startup of drilling. These holes tested early stage targets at Cat Hill, the YellowJacket North Extension, North Jolly Jane and the West Sierra Blanca (“WSB”) targets. Results of this work are reported in NR19-10 (August 6, 2019), NR19-13 (September 23. 2019) and NR19-17 (October 23, 2019).reporting period.

 

Promising results were obtained from Cat Hill, where the assays indicated gold associated with stockwork quartz veins and associated high silver and gold grades in multiple holes.

Drilling at WSB revealed expanding mineralization to the southwest of the main Sierra Blanca zone and the extension of a new higher-grade “NW Structural Target” in the northwest part of the WSB area. These results are being incorporated into a new Sierra Blanca/YellowJacket resource model.

22

Two of the four new holes drilled at North Jolly Jane were lost prior to hitting the target zones, however, the holes successfully drilled to depth suggest that the Jolly Jane system is large, approximately 2 km by 0.5 km of drill defined mineralization with good potential for a high grade feeder zone like the nearby Sierra Blanca/YellowJacket system.

MLP Drilling Activities

Phase 4 drilling aDuring the period, 28 RC drill holes were completed. Ten of the RC holes were drilled at Lynnda Strip (see Figure 1) and 13 were drilled at Mother Lode. Six of those RC holes were core-tail pre-collar holes for later core drilling. Nine holes were core-tail holes with five deepened at Mother Lode began October 21, 2019 inand four deepened at Lynnda Strip.

The first twodrilling continued to outline the Central Intrusive Zone (CIZ) proving the association of the gold mineralization with a broad zone that varies in width along strike, and remains open at depth. The zone is dominantly oxide in nature, to a depth of 600m. Preliminary cyanide leach data indicate high gold recovery averaging above 90% which indicates good potential for heap leach processing. The drilling also indicates the presence of higher-grade shoots within the zone at depth.

Drilling from the Main Zone has indicated the presence of breccia intervals from the top of the CIZ that cut the Central Main Zone and contain higher-grade gold mineralization. Additional intersections in the Upper Oxide Zone are defining a sizable body of low grade mineralization extendsthat are amenable to heap leach processing in areas that were previously defined as waste material in pit shells. The cross section in Figure 3 illustrates the spacial relationship of the different mineralized zones being described here.

Lynnda Strip

The Lynnda Strip is a new discovery near Mother Lode (see Figure 1) that appears to be part of a large zone of gold mineralization controlled by a major north-south trending structural feature that has delivered encouraging results at Corvus Golds Lynnda Strip target and to the resource area. The holessouth as reported by Coeur Mining Inc. This new Lynnda Strip discovery is also indicated that the higher grade (+2 g/t) partfocus of additional drilling by AngloGold Ashanti Limited to the north. Oxidation is very deep at Lynnda Strip with depths of over 500m which is similar to the deep oxidation of the CIZ zone about 1.5 kilometres to the south at Mother Lode system extends farther to west than previously modeled. A new deep intrusive related gold zone was intersected in hole ML 19-119 (NR19-19; December 5, 2019), below the main Mother Lode deposit in Paleozoic carbonates.

Phase 4 has produced 2,965 meters of drilling, with results for 9 of the holes pending.Lode.

 

Corvus performeddrilling at Lynnda Strip, is shown on Figure 4 and has revealed high-grade vein systems associated with gray quartz stockwork systems that develop along moderately west dipping north-south structural zones and reactively flat contact related zones. These veins appear related to subsidiary, structures in the hanging wall of large displacement, north-south trending major faults and are surrounded by broad zones of disseminated lower-grade oxide gold mineralization.  Corvus believes that ongoing core drilling at Lynnda Strip has shown the system could extend an addition 100 metres below the initial RC drill holes announced to date with oxidation that could be in excess of 500 metres deep. The Lynnda Strip system is currently +500 metres wide (East-West) and is displaying a preliminary geophysical study with a deep penetrating Induced Polarization (“IP”) surveysystem thickness that could be in excess of 200 metres.  Similar to other gold mineralization systems in the Bullfrog District that are related to North-South trending structural zones, the potential strike extent could be multiples of the currently known width.  With current gold grades of 2.06 g/t over 43 m in the Mother Lode deposit. The survey may have outlined a deep target with high conductivityupper zone and high resistivity (NR19-18; November 7, 2019).1.63 g/t gold over 33.5 m in the lower zone, Corvus believes that this system could be very large and currently appears to be on the higher-grade end of the known Nevada heap-leach open pit scale of deposits.

Further metallurgical test work was performed during the period to test the performance of biological oxidation on Mother Lode whole mineralization. This work was performed to compare to previously successful testwork on bioxidation of concentrate, and indicated 100% oxidation of the sulphide minerals and 91-92.6% recovery of the contained gold.North Bullfrog Project Development

 

Corvus completed an updated PEA for the NBP based on a stand-alone basis, as detailed in the NBP Technical Report. The NBP PEA results indicated strong economic performance which is summarized in Table 1 and was based on resource model updates for Sierra Blanca and Mayflower that incorporated some new 2020 drill results. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have no demonstrated economic viability. The NBP PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. It cannot be assumed that all, or any part, of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Refer to the NBP Technical Report for additional information.

A bulk sample of Sierra BlancaThe NBP PEA assumes conventional open pit mining and with a combination gravity mill and heap leach mineralization was collected during the period. The sample will be used in conjunction with the tail material from gravity processedprocessing system. Higher grade vein and vein stockwork mineralization from the YellowJacket zone,Zone at Sierra Blanca would be processed by a simple gravity mill with grinding to test48 mesh. Adequate liberation of the gold mineralization can be achieved at 48 mesh with approximately 45% gold recovery from leach columns of agglomeratedthe gravity concentrate using intense CN leaching. The gravity tail material can be blended with the lower grade, ROM heap leach mineralization for final gold recovery on the heap leach pad.

The CompanyMLP Resource model was updated to incorporate new drilling data developed since the 2018 PEA report and up to September 2020. The MLP open pit configuration was revised based on Whittle Optimization, and the new designs were incorporated into the updated project configuration.

The project configuration was revised so that all required infrastructure was confined to Corvus controlled property, with the exception that the existing lay-back agreement with Coeur Mining Co. would allow the open pit boundary to expand off the Corvus land locally. Any mineralization coming from Coeur controlled land would be stockpiled for Coeur potentially subject to some future processing agreement.

The MLP PEA assumed open pit mining with an owner operated fleet and process plant. Processing assumptions were based on biological oxidation of whole sulphide mineralization. Metallurgical test data indicates that CN gold recoveries of +91 % could be obtained with this approach, which would be approximately 11% higher than had been obtained from oxidation and leaching of MLP sulphide concentrates. Capital costs of the process plant would be lower since the process would not require an oxygen plant, a meteorologicalflotation circuit, or an autoclave.

Substantial production of lower grade oxide mineralization is indicated by the updated mineral resource model, and the ROM heap leach feed was at higher grade when compared to the 2018 mineral resource model.

Economic performance of the project was good, and the potential for operating cost reduction exists within the processing technology. In addition, the future development of the project could benefit from potential mineral resource that could be developed at the Lynnda Strip discovery.

Permitting

Corvus has expanded permitting activities for the NBP, beginning with a kick-off meeting with the BLM Battle Mountain group on December 15, 2020. Planning is underway and contracts with specialist environmental groups are in place.

Water quality samples were collected from NBP springs and water quality monitoring station atwells during the month of December. Data from the NBP and submitted the reportweather station for calendar Q3 2019 to the NDEP in October of 2019.

Quarterly pump tests of the Sarcobatus water well and the water production well (NB-WW-14) were performed in June 2019 and the production volumes reported to NDWR. Drill water at the NBP is being produced from NB-WW-14 in the NW corner of NBP, and production volumes are being reported monthly to NDWR. The extraction point for the entire Sarcobatus water resource has been transferred to the NBP on a temporary basis to support the mining project.

A completion report for NB-WW-14 was filed with NDWR during this reporting period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has no revenue generating operations from which it can internally generate funds. To date, the Company’s ongoing operations have been financed by the sale of its equity securities by way of public offerings, private placements and the exercise of incentive stock options and share purchase warrants. The Company believes that it will be able to secure additional private placements and public financings in the future, although it cannot predict the size or pricing of any such financings. In addition, the Company can raise funds through the sale of interests in its mineral properties, although current market conditions have substantially reduced the number of potential buyers/acquirers of any such interest(s). This situation is unlikely to change until such time as the Company can develop a bankable feasibility study on one of its projects. When acquiring an interest in mineral properties through purchase or option, the Company will sometimes issue Common Shares to the vendor or optionee of the property as partial or full consideration for the property interest in order to conserve its cash.

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presume the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and/or obtaining additional financing.

 

In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future within one year from the date the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are issued.  There is substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as going concern, as explained below and in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.following paragraphs.

 

The Company has sustained significant losses from operations, has negative cash flows and has an ongoing requirement for capital investment to explore its mineral properties.  Based on its current plans, budgeted expenditures, and cash requirements, the Company does not have sufficient cash to finance its current plans for the 12 months from the date the condensed interim consolidated financial statement are issued.

 

The Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $22,585,039$7,049,285 as at November 30, 20192020 compared to $4,145,085$14,913,158 as at May 31, 2019.2020. The change in cash position was the net result of $4,611,626$9,277,277 used for operating activities, $19,916$26,087 used for lease liabilities payments, $103,819 used for capitalized acquisition costs, and $23,221,316$1,910,950 received from the private placementsexercise of common shares in June 2019, August 2019 and October 2019 (net of share issue costs)stock options during the period ended November 30, 2019.2020.

 

As at November 30, 2019,2020, the Company had working capital of $22,608,364$6,388,051 compared to working capital of $4,204,082$14,568,048 as at May 31, 2019. On June 5, 2019, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement equity financing and issued 500,000 common shares at a price of $1.80 per share for gross proceeds of $900,000 and sold its non-core Alaskan royalty interests for a purchase price of $350,000, before legal fees. On August 19, 2019, the Company closed a private placement equity financing and issued 500,000 common shares at a price of $2.60 per common share for gross proceeds of $1,300,000. On October 10, 2019, the Company closed a public bought deal equity financing and issued 11,500,000 common shares at a price of $2.00 per common share for gross proceeds of $23,000,000.2020.

The Company expects that it will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future and believes the current cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient for it to maintain its currently held properties, fund its planned exploration, and fund its currently anticipated general and administrative costs until May 2021. Following May 2021,for at least the Company will need to scale back anticipated activities and costs or raise additional financing to fund operations throughnext 12 months from the year ending May 31, 2022. The Company’s current anticipated operating expenses are $7,790,000 until May 31, 2020 and $19,160,000 until May 31, 2021. The Company’s anticipated monthly burn rate averages approximately $1,298,000 for December 2019 to May 2020, where approximately $446,000 is budgeted for administrative purposes and approximately $852,000 is for planned exploration expenditures and holding costs for the NBP and the MLP. From December 2019 to May 2021, the Company’s anticipated monthly burn rate averages approximately $1,064,000,date of which $321,000 is budgeted for administrative purposes and approximately $743,000 is for planned exploration expenditures and holding costs for the NBP and the MLP.this report. In any event, the Company will be required to raise additional funds, again through public or private equity financings prior toin the end of May 2021future in order to continue in business. Should such financing not be available in that time-frame, the Company will be required to reduce its activities and will not be able to carry out all of its presently planned exploration and, if warranted, development activities at the NBP and the MLP on its currently anticipated scheduling.

 

Despite the Company’s success to date in raising significant equity financing to fund its operations, there is significant uncertainty that the Company will be able to secure any additional financing in the current or future equity markets. See “Risk Factors – We will require additional financing to fund exploration and, if warranted, development and production”. Failure to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation and could cast uncertainty on our ability to continue as a going concern. The quantity of funds to be raised and the terms of any proposed equity financing that may be undertaken will be negotiated by management as opportunities to raise funds arise. Specific plans related to the use of proceeds will be devised once financing has been completed and management knows what funds will be available for these purposes. Due to this uncertainty, if the Company is unable to secure additional financing, it may be required to reduce all discretionary activities at the NBP and the Mother Lode Property to preserve its working capital to fund anticipated non-discretionary expenditures beyondin the 2021 fiscal year.future.

 

The Company has no exposure to any asset-backed commercial paper. Other than cash held by its subsidiaries for their immediate operating needs in Alaska and Nevada, all of the Company’s cash reserves are on deposit with a major Canadian chartered bank. The Company does not believe that the credit, liquidity or market risks with respect thereto have increased as a result of the current market conditions. However, in order to achieve greater security for the preservation of its capital, the Company has, of necessity, been required to accept lower rates of interest, which has also lowered its potential interest income.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Environmental Regulations

 

The operations of the Company may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

 

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders

 

The Company has been a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in recent years and expects to continue to be a PFIC in the future. Current and prospective U.S. shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of PFIC classification and the U.S. federal tax treatment of PFICs. Additional information on this matter is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on August 8, 2019,13, 2020, under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of May 31, 2019, being the last day of our last fiscal year.

We will lose our status as an emerging growth company on May 31, 2020, the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement.

28

As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A (a) and (b) of the Exchange Act. Such sections are provided below:

·Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires a public company’s auditor to attest to, and report on, management's assessment of its internal controls.

·Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act, implemented by Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Act, require companies to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute compensation.

As long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act, we may however determine to voluntarily comply with such requirements in our discretion.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of November 30, 20192020 an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15I13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of November 30, 2019,2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

30

The effectiveness of our or any system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the system will be met and is subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of judgement in designing, implementing and evaluating controls and procedures and the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the period ended November 30, 20192020 that have materially, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Except forThere have been no material changes from the below risk factors which update those previously set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on August 8, 2019, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in such Annual Report.13, 2020.

 

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The Company’s auditor has indicated in the Company’s audited annual financial statements that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is in the preliminary stages of its planned operations and has not yet determined whether its processes and business plans are economically viable. The Company’s ability to determine if proven and probable mineral reserves exist at its properties, to continue exploration and if warranted, develop its existing properties and to identify and acquire additional properties to diversify its properties portfolio are dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain sufficient financing, or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis, all of which are uncertain. Importantly, the inclusion in the Company’s financial statements of a going concern opinion may negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise future financing and achieve future revenue. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing from outside sources and/or eventually generate enough revenues, the Company may be forced to sell a portion or all of the Company’s assets or, if applicable, curtail or discontinue its operations. If any of these events happens, a prospective investor could lose all or part of its investment. In addition, the Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments to the Company’s recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Company becomes unable to continue as a going concern.

Need for Significant Additional Capital

We will be required to expend significant funds to determine if proven and probable mineral reserves exist at our properties, to continue exploration and if warranted, develop our existing properties and to identify and acquire additional properties to diversify our properties portfolio. We have spent and will be required to continue to expend significant amounts of capital for drilling, geological and geochemical analysis, assaying and feasibility studies with regard to the results of our exploration. We may not benefit from some of these investments if we are unable to identify commercially exploitable mineralized material.

Our ability to obtain necessary funding for these purposes, in turn, depends upon a number of factors, including the status of the national and worldwide economy and the price of gold and silver. We may not be successful in obtaining the required financing or, if we can obtain such financing, such financing may not be on terms that are favorable to us. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further mining operations or exploration and development and the possible partial or total loss of our potential interest in our Properties.

Negative Operating Cash Flow

The Company is an exploration stage company and has not generated cash flow from operations.  The Company is devoting significant resources to the development of its properties and to actively pursue exploration and development opportunities, however, there can be no assurance that it will generate positive cash flow from operations in the future.  The Company expects to continue to incur negative consolidated operating cash flow and losses until such time as it achieves commercial production at a particular project.  The Company currently has negative cash flow from operating activities. 

Market Price of Securities

The market price of the Company’s common shares could be subject to significant fluctuations due to various factors and events, including any regulatory or economic changes affecting the Company’s operations, variations in the Company’s operating results, developments in the Company’s business or its competitors, or changes in market sentiment towards the common shares. Investors should be aware that the value of the common shares may be volatile and investors may, on disposing of the common shares, realize less than their original investment or may lose their entire investment.

The Company’s operating results and prospects from time to time may be below the expectations of market analysts and investors. In addition, stock markets from time to time suffer significant price and volume fluctuations that affect the market price of the securities listed thereon and which may be unrelated to the Company’s operating performance. Any of these events could result in a decline in the market price of the common shares. The common shares may, therefore, not be suitable as a short-term investment. In addition, the market price of the common shares may not reflect the underlying value of the Company’s net assets. The price at which the common shares will be traded and the price at which investors may realize their shares will be influenced by a large number of factors, some specific to the Company and its proposed operations, and some which may affect the business sectors in which the Company operates. Such factors could also include the performance of the Company’s operations, variations in operating results, announcements by the Company (i.e. disappointing results of exploratory drilling, the incurrence of environmental liabilities or other material developments), announcements of material developments by the Company’s competitors, involvement in litigation, large purchases or sales of the common shares, liquidity or the absence of liquidity in the common shares, limited trading volume, the prices of gold and other precious metals, legislative or regulatory changes relating to the business of the Company, the Company’s ability to raise additional funds, other material events and general financial market and economic conditions. In the event that the occurrence of any of these events causes the price of the common shares to decrease, investors may be forced to sell their shares at a loss.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

Other than as reported below, all sales of unregistered equity securities during the period covered by this report were previously reported on Form 8-K.

 

On October 18, 2019,29, 2020, the Company issued 25,000 common shares in connection with the lease on the Mayflower property (see note 4a)3(a)(ii)(1) to the Financial Statements), with a fair value of $48,750.$75,750. The common shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on the basis of representations of eligibility and suitability made to the Company by the investor in the lease agreement.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

 

None.

 

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

 

Pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, issuers that are operators, or that have a subsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine in the United States are required to disclose specified information about mine health and safety in their periodic reports. These reporting requirements are based on the safety and health requirements applicable to mines under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”) which is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”). During the threesix months period ended November 30, 20192020 the Company and its subsidiaries and their properties or operations were not subject to regulation by MSHA under the Mine Act and thus no disclosure is required under Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act.
