| 1. | Corporate Information |
| --- | --- |
GoldMining Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia and was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, on September 9, 2009, and domiciled in Canada. Together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "GoldMining"), the Company is a public mineral exploration company with a focus on the acquisition, exploration and development of projects in Brazil, Colombia, United States, Canada, Peru and other regions of the Americas. GoldMining Inc. changed its name from Brazil Resources Inc. on December 5, 2016 and continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on December 6, 2016.
GoldMining Inc.'s common shares (the "GoldMining Shares") are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol "GOLD", on NYSE American (the "NYSE") under the symbol "GLDG" and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "BSR". As at February 28, 2021, the head office and principal address of the Company was Suite 1830, 1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3, Canada.
| 2. | Basis of Preparation |
|---|---|
| 2.1 | Statement of compliance |
| --- | --- |
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting 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 Company's significant accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those described in note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 except as described in note 2.3. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual consolidated financial statements.
The Company's consolidated financial statements and those of its controlled subsidiaries are presented in Canadian dollars ("$" or "dollars"), which is the Company's reporting currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except where otherwise indicated.
The Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three month period ended February 28, 2021 were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on April 13, 2021.
| 2.2 | Significant accounting judgments and estimates |
|---|
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:
Existence of impairment indicators for exploration and evaluation assets
In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, all direct costs related to the acquisition of exploration rights are capitalized on a property-by-property basis. There is no certainty that costs incurred to acquire exploration rights will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals. The Company applies judgment to determine whether indicators of impairment exist for these capitalized costs.
5
| GoldMining Inc.<br> Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements <br> (Unaudited, expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)<br> February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 |
|---|
Management uses several criteria in making this assessment, including the period for which the Company has the right to explore, expected renewals of exploration rights, whether substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of mineral properties are budgeted, and evaluation of the results of exploration and evaluation activities up to the reporting date.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the three months ended February 28, 2021, is as follows:
Recognition and measurement of rehabilitation provisions
A rehabilitation provision represents the present value of estimated future costs for the rehabilitation of the Company's mineral properties. These estimates include assumptions as to the future activities, cost of services, timing of the rehabilitation work to be performed, inflation rates, exchange rates and interest rates. The actual cost to rehabilitate a mineral property may vary from the estimated amounts because there are uncertainties in factors used to estimate the cost and potential changes in regulations or laws governing the rehabilitation of a mineral property. Management periodically reviews the rehabilitation requirements and adjusts the liability as new information becomes available and will assess the impact of new regulations and laws as they are enacted.
| 2.3 | Adoption of new accounting standards |
|---|
In October 2019, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations ("IFRS 3"). The amendments clarify that while businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an integrated set of activities and assets to qualify as a business. To be considered a business an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Additional guidance is provided that helps to determine whether a substantive process has been acquired. The amendments introduce an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Under the optional concentration test, the acquired set of activities and assets is not a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets. The amendments are applied prospectively to all business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Effective December 1, 2020, the Company prospectively adopted the new IFRS 3 accounting standard which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended February 28, 2021.

| 5. | Royalty |
| --- | --- |
On February 3, 2021, the Company's subsidiary, Gold Royalty Corp. ("GRC"), completed the acquisition of a 1.0% NSR on a portion of the Quartz Mountain Project, located in Oregon, United States from Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wavecrest Resources Inc., for consideration of $191,790 (US$150,000) paid in cash. Transaction costs totaled $37,384, for an aggregate purchase price of $229,174.
| 6. | Investment in Joint Venture |
|---|
As at February 28, 2021, the Company holds an 84.05% (2020: 84.05%) interest in Boa Vista Gold Inc. ("BVG") pursuant to the BGC Arrangement. BVG, a corporation formed under the laws of British Virgin Islands, holds the rights to the Boa Vista Gold Project (the "Boa Vista Project") located in Pará State, Brazil.
The Company accounts for its investment in BVG using the equity method since the Company shares joint control over the strategic, financial, permitting, development and operating decisions with Majestic D&M Holdings, LLC ("Majestic"), formerly Octa Mineração Ltda, who hold a 15.95% (2020: 15.95%) interest in BVG.
Changes in the Company's 84.05% investment in BVG are summarized as follows:

All values are in US Dollars.
Pursuant to the terms of a shareholder's agreement among BGC, D'Gold Mineral Ltda. ("D'Gold"), a former joint venture partner of BVG, and Majestic, dated January 21, 2010, as amended on May 25, 2011, June 24, 2011 and November 15, 2011, a 1.5% net smelter return royalty is payable to D'Gold and a further 1.5% net smelter return royalty is payable to Majestic if its holdings in BVG drop below 10%.
Pursuant to a mineral rights acquisition agreement, as amended, relating to the project, Golden Tapajós Mineração Ltda. ("GT"), a subsidiary of BVG, was required to pay R$3,620,000 in September 2018 to the counterparty thereunder. In May 2019, GT renegotiated the terms of the mineral rights agreement with respect to the aforementioned payments. As a result of the amended terms of the mineral rights agreement, BVG paid R$400,000 in May 2019 to the counterparty and a further R$3,220,000 will be due in December 2022. If GT fails to make such payment, subject to a cure period, the counterparty may seek to terminate the agreement and the mineral rights that are the subject of the agreement will be returned to the counterparty.

| 12.5 | Restricted Share Rights |
|---|
The Company's restricted share plan (the "RSP") was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") on November 27, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the RSP, the Board may designate directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of the Company eligible to receive restricted share rights ("RSR"s) to acquire such number of GoldMining Shares as the Board may determine, in accordance with the restricted periods schedule during the recipient's continual service with the Company. There are no cash settlement alternatives. The RSP was approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with its term at the Company's annual general meeting held on May 25, 2019.
The RSRs vest in accordance with the vesting schedule during the recipient's continual service with the Company. The Company classifies RSRs as equity instruments since the Company has the ability and intent to settle the awards in common shares. The compensation expense for standard RSRs is calculated based on the fair value of each RSR as determined by the closing value of the Company's common shares at the date of the grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period of the RSR. The Company expects to settle RSRs, upon vesting, through the issuance of new common shares from treasury.
The following outlines the movements of the Company's RSRs:
| Number of<br><br> <br>RSRs | Weighted Average Value<br> () | |||

| 13.2 | GRC Equity Incentive Plan |
|---|
On October 19, 2020, GRC's equity incentive plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") was approved by GRC's board of directors (the "GRC Board") and by the board of directors of GoldMining. The Equity Incentive Plan provides sole and complete authority to GRC's Board to grant share options (the "GRC Share Options"), incentive share options (the "ISO"), Restricted Shares and restricted share units (the "GRC RSUs") (collectively, the "Awards") of GRC to eligible participants. The maximum number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to the grant of the Awards shall be 2,000,000 common shares in the capital of GRC. The eligible participants of the Equity Incentive Plan (the "Participants") are directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of: (a) GRC; or (b) an entity that controls or is controlled by GRC or a Related Entity.
GRC's Board may designate Participants eligible to receive GRC Share Options to acquire such numbers of common shares of GRC as GRC's Board may determine, each GRC Option so granted being for a term specified by GRC's Board up to a maximum of 10 years from the date of grant. The GRC Share Options vest in accordance with the vesting schedule during the optionee's continual service with GRC. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for a "net exercise" feature that permits an optionee to elect to exercise a GRC Option or a portion thereof by surrendering such GRC Share Option or a portion thereof in consideration for GRC delivering common shares to the optionee but withholding the minimum number of common shares otherwise deliverable in respect of GRC Share Options that are needed to pay for the exercise price of such GRC Share Options.
GRC Share Options may be granted as ISOs only to individuals who are employees of GRC or its Related Entity and GRC Share Options shall not be granted as ISOs to non-employee directors or independent contractors. GRC's Board may designate Participants eligible to receive Restricted Shares and GRC RSUs to acquire such number of common shares of GRC as GRC's Board may determine, in accordance with the restricted periods, including the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and periods, during the recipient's continual service with GRC. The Restricted Shares shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the restriction period.
| 13.3 | GRC Restricted Shares |
|---|
On October 19, 2020, as amended on January 10, 2021, GRC issued 1,500,000 restricted shares (the "Restricted Shares") to certain officers and directors of GRC and GoldMining. The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions that, among other things, prohibit the transfer thereof until certain performance conditions are met. In addition, if such performance conditions are not met within applicable periods, the restricted shares will be deemed forfeited and surrendered by the holder thereof to GRC without the requirement of any further consideration. The performance conditions upon completion of an IPO, or other going-public transaction, are as follows:
| (1) | with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if GRC's initial public offering (the "IPO") or any liquidity event (being any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of GRC or distribution of all or substantially all of GRC's assets among shareholders or a change of control transaction) occurs that values GRC at a minimum of US$50,000,000; |

| (2) | with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if GRC receives US$1,000,000 of royalty payments under any of GRC's royalty interests prior to October 19, 2023; and |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | with respect to one-third of the Restricted Shares awarded to the holder, if the holder continues to be a director, officer or employee of GRC or an entity that is under common control with GRC (a "Related Entity") for a period of one year after the IPO is completed. |
| --- | --- |
The fair value of the Restricted Shares recognized as share-based compensation expense was $275,159 during the three months ended February 28, 2021 (three months ended February 29, 2020 - $nil).
| 13.4 | GRC Share Options |
|---|
GRC entered into agreements with certain directors, officers and consultants of GRC. These agreements provide that such directors, officers and consultants of GRC will receive GRC Share Options to purchase an aggregate of 1,555,000 common shares of GRC at an exercise price equal to the lesser of US$5.00 per share or the price per share under the financing that results in GRC having raised US$10,000,000 in the aggregate. These GRC Share Options will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and will vest as follows: (a) 25% on the grant date; and (b) 25% on each of the dates that are 6, 12 and 18 months thereafter.
No GRC Share Options were granted by GRC as at February 28, 2021. Subsequent to February 28, 2021, GRC granted 2,505,000 GRC Share Options in connection with its long-term incentive plan adopted on March 7, 2021 and the Equity Incentive Plan.
| 14. | Financial Instruments |
|---|
The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and reclamation deposits. The Company's financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, lease liabilities, short-term credit facility and government loan. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:
| ● | Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| ● | Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. |
| --- | --- |
The Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture due to related parties, short-term credit facility and government loan amounts approximate fair value due to their short terms to settlement. The Company's short-term investment is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of short-term investments is determined by obtaining the quoted market price of the short-term investment and multiplying it by the quantity of shares held by the Company. The determination of the fair value of lease liabilities is based on the discounted cash flow model using incremental borrowing rates ranging from 3.35% to 4.60%.
| 14.1 | Financial Risk Management Objectives And Policies |
|---|
The financial risk arising from the Company's operations are currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and commodity price risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

|---|---|
| 14.2 | Currency Risk |
| --- | --- |
The Company's operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in United States dollars, the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso and Canadian dollars. The exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies against the Company and its subsidiaries functional currencies. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure.
The Canadian dollar equivalents of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets are as follows:
| As at February 28, | As at November 30, | |

| 2021 | 2020 | |
| () | () | |
| Assets | ||
| United States Dollar | ||
| Brazilian Real | ||
| Colombian Peso | ||
| Total |
All values are in US Dollars.
The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States Dollars and total $1,557,522.
The Company's sensitivity analysis suggests that a consistent 10% change in the foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar exchange rate on the Company's financial instruments based on balances at February 28, 2021 would have an impact of $116,832 on net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2021.
| 14.3 | Interest Rate Risk |
|---|
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company's interest-bearing financial asset is cash and guaranteed investment certificates, which bear interest at fixed or variable rates. The Company's interest-bearing financial liabilities are the short-term credit facility and government loan, which bear interest at fixed rates. The Company does not believe it is exposed to material interest rate risk related to these instruments. As such, the Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.
| 14.4 | Credit Risk |
|---|
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company's bank balances.
The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balance by only holding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with large, reputable financial institutions.
| 14.5 | Liquidity Risk |
|---|
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations. At February 28, 2021, the Company's working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was $4,967,530. The Company's other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, lease liabilities and short-term credit facility are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period.

The Company has current cash and cash equivalent balances, restricted cash and ownership of liquid assets at its disposal. The Company also owns 20 million GRC shares, which are subject to a 180 day lockup period from March 8, 2021. The Company has the availability to implement corporate-wide cost reductions or eliminate expenditures to; discretionary and non-core activities, cash compensation paid to directors, management, employees and certain consultants and service providers, and cash generated from the exercise of in-the-money options. GoldMining believes that these cash saving and cash generating measures will sufficiently reduce cash outlays and enhance the Company's cash position in order to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve months commencing from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future, that the terms of a financing will be favourable, or whether the Company will be able to obtain adequate proceeds from the sale of its liquid assets or exercise of options.

The head office and principal address of the Company is Suite 1830, 1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3, Canada.
Company Strategy
The Company's long-term growth strategy is premised on the execution of a two-pronged long-term strategy of expanding its project portfolio of gold projects through accretive acquisitions and enhancing the value of its existing portfolio through potential development, exploration and value driven divestitures, joint ventures and other transactions. The Company's long-term growth strategy is premised on, among other things, pursuing accretive acquisitions of resource projects, together with maintaining and advancing its existing projects in a prudent manner. This strategy is focused on identifying and acquiring projects that present compelling value for the Company's shareholders.
Recent Developments
Launch of Gold Royalty Corp.
In June 2020, the Company announced the launch of Gold Royalty Corp. ("GRC") with the goal of enhancing value for GoldMining shareholders through exposure to a gold and precious metals focused royalty and streaming company.

The total consideration paid by GRC to the Company for the New GRC Royalties and the GRC Buyback Rights was US$13,076,000, which was satisfied by GRC by issuing to the Company 15,000,000 GRC Shares.
In February 2021, GRC completed the acquisition of a 1.0% NSR on a portion of the Quartz Mountain Project, located in Oregon, USA for consideration of US$150,000.
On March 11, 2021, GRC announced the closing of its initial public offering (the "IPO") of 18,000,000 units of GRC (the "Units") at a price of US$5.00 per Unit. The gross proceeds to GRC from the offering were $112.8 million (US$90.0 million). On completion of the offering and after the exercise of over-allotments, the Company continues to hold 20,000,000 common shares of GRC, or approximately 48.0% of its outstanding common shares. As a result of the completion of GRC’s IPO, the Company no longer controls GRC and will deconsolidate it effective March 11, 2021. Based on the retained shareholding interest in GRC, the Company expects to exercise significant influence and will account for GRC as an associate using the equity method. The investment in GRC will be recorded at its fair value at the time of deconsolidation.
Material Properties
The Company's principal exploration properties are its Yellowknife, Titiribi, La Mina, São Jorge and Whistler projects.
The Company is currently in the process of identifying and planning additional work relating to its projects with the goal of directing resources to enhance value at each such project (the "Strategic Review Process"). Such work may include undertaking additional studies, economic assessments and/or exploration and development work. Other than as disclosed herein, such work has not been finalized as of the date hereof. Additionally, the Company currently plans to keep each of its projects in good standing.
Yellowknife Gold Project
During the three months ended February 28, 2021, the Company incurred $33,262 of expenditures on the Yellowknife Project, which included expenditures for consulting fees to vendors that provided geological and technical services, camp maintenance costs and canon fees.

Titiribi Gold-Copper Project
During the three months ended February 28, 2021, the Company incurred $60,699 of expenditures on the Titiribi Project, which included expenditures for camp maintenance costs, consulting fees to vendors that provided geological and technical services, payroll and personnel expenses and surface rights lease payments. In 2021, the Company intends to maintain the Titiribi Project in good standing. The Company's current work program includes a 3,200 metre drill program to be completed in 2021. The drill program will look to infill and expand on the current gold-copper and gold mineralization identified in the vicinity of the Cerro Vetas and Chisperos deposits. Based on management's initial reviews and planning, the cost of such work is expected to be approximately $1.6 million. The timing and completion of any such program may be impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions on the movement of personnel, consultants and contractors. See "Results of Operations – COVID-19".
La Mina Gold Project
During the three months ended February 28, 2021, the Company incurred $58,962 of expenditures on the La Mina Project, which included expenditures for camp maintenance costs, consulting fees to vendors that provided geological and technical services, payroll and personnel expenses and surface rights lease payments. In 2021, the Company intends to maintain the La Mina Project in good standing. The Company's current approved work program includes a 3,600 metre drill program to be completed in 2021. The drill program will look to infill and step-out southeast of gold-copper mineralization identified in historic drill programs at the La Garrucha target. Based on management's initial reviews and planning, the cost of such work is expected to be approximately $1.8 million. The timing and completion of any such program may be impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions on the movement of personnel, consultants and contractors. See "Results of Operations – COVID-19". Additionally, as part of its current Strategic Review Process, the Company is reviewing various additional options for potential work at the project in 2021, which includes initiating a PEA expected to be completed in H2 2021.
São Jorge Gold Project
During the three months ended February 28, 2021, the Company incurred $23,445 of expenditures on the São Jorge Project. These expenditures included land access fees, consulting fees to vendors that provided geological and technical services, and expenditures for camp maintenance costs. As part of its current Strategic Review Process, the Company is reviewing various additional options for potential work at the project in 2021, which may include the commission of additional studies on the project, including a preliminary economic assessment, with a view to enhancing value at the project. The Company has not completed this Strategic Review Process and, therefore, it does not yet have definitive plans for any such work.
Whistler Gold-Copper Project
During the three months ended February 28, 2021, the Company incurred nominal expenditures on the Whistler Project which included expenses associated with camp maintenance costs.
In 2021, the Company intends to maintain the Whistler Project in good standing. The Company does not currently plan to complete any exploration programs at the project in 2021.

Results of Operations
COVID-19
The Company is closely monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause significant widespread global infections and fatalities. It has materially adversely affected global economic activity, caused significant market volatility and resulted in numerous governments declaring emergencies and implementing measures, such as travel bans, quarantines, business closures, shelter-in-place and other restrictions.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company implemented various measures designed to ensure the health. and safety of its personnel and other stakeholders, including instituting protocols and work from home procedures at its head office and other offices and operations.
In addition, as a result of the above-described restrictions and other measures, the Company determined to delay certain work programs that were planned for 2020 on certain of its projects due to restrictions on the ability of its personnel and contractors to attend sites. Other than the aforementioned delay of scheduled work, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations.
In mid-2020, many countries eased restrictions on economic and social activities to, among other things, reopen their economies by allowing businesses to restart and encourage economic recovery. The results of such economic measures and the reopening have varied from country to country. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2020, there has been a significant widespread increase or "second wave" in reported infections including in Europe, the United States and Canada, as well as the emergence and rapid spread of new variants of the COVID-19 virus. In response, various countries have announced the re-imposition of restrictions on social, business, travel and other activities. In several countries such restrictions are at or near the level of lockdown restrictions imposed earlier in 2020. In December 2020, various countries approved the use of certain vaccines to aid in the prevention and spread of the COVID-19 virus. Vaccinations started to be rolled out in late 2020 and are expected to continue throughout 2021. Although trial results for the vaccines were positive and encouraging, we cannot predict how successful the vaccines will be against COVID-19 or any of its variants, if there will be significant adverse side effects, how quickly the vaccines will be available and rolled out to the general population, the level of willingness of people to get vaccinated and how long it will take the vaccines to be effective enough for global economies to reopen.
Currently, the Company is unable to predict the impact of the recent resurgence in infections or emergence and spread of new variants of the virus, the extent of measures governments may take in response thereto, including imposing some or all prior or new restrictive measures, including business closures, nor the effectiveness of and the time required to roll out vaccinations on a large scale. Further, the Company is currently unable to predict the overall impact of such resurgence or emergence on global economic activity or the pace of any economic recovery. In addition, any additional restrictions and other measures imposed in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the ability of the Company to complete proposed work programs. See Risk Factors "Public Health Crises" in the Company's AIF.

General and administrative expenses were $731,725 in the three months ended February 28, 2021, compared to $473,687 for the three months ended February 29, 2020. The increase in expenses was primarily the result of increased insurance, transfer agent and regulatory costs during the three months ended February 28, 2021. These increases were the result of the Company's listing on NYSE American during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Additionally, costs incurred during the period were the result of the Company's launch of GRC, which was initiated during the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
Exploration expenses were $223,702 in the three months ended February 28, 2021, compared to $251,712 for the three months ended February 29, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of lower camp maintenance fees incurred on the Whistler, Sao Jorge and Cachoeira projects and lower consulting fees on the Yarumalito project. These decreases were partially offset by higher consulting fees on the Yellowknife project and higher camp maintenance costs on the Titiribi and Almaden projects
Exploration expenditures incurred in the three months ended February 28, 2021 consisted primarily of: exploration and field expenses of $94,403, compared to $101,769 for the three months ended February 29, 2020; consulting fees to vendors who provided geological and technical services respecting the Company's projects, of $37,119, compared to $51,990 for the three months ended February 29, 2020; payroll and employee expenses of $39,449, compared to $43,774 for the three months ended February 29, 2020; and other exploration expenses which included land fees required to maintain the projects in good standing of $52,731, compared to $54,179 for the three months ended February 29, 2020.

The Company's fluctuations in net loss from quarter to quarter were mainly related to changes in exploration, permitting and licensing work as well as corporate activities conducted during the respective quarters. During the three months ended November 30, 2020, net loss was higher compared to other quarters as a result of increased share-based compensation due to the increase in the Company’s share price during the period and increased transactional activities.

Capital resources of the Company consist primarily of cash and liquid short-term investments. As at February 28, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $6,907,339 compared to $9,193,089 at November 30, 2020, and $979,060 in other current assets compared to $928,953 at November 30, 2020. Such amount at February 28, 2021, included cash held by GRC of $2,586,667. GRC ceased to be a consolidated subsidiary of the Company on March 11, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily the result of operating expenditures and the acquisition of a royalty by GRC, which was partially offset by cash inflows from GRC's private placement discussed below under "Cash Flows". The Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2,538,720 as at February 28, 2021, compared to $2,573,937 as at November 30, 2020. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $35,217 was primarily the result of the payment of annual land dues of $295,733 for the Whistler Project, which were included in accounts payable at November 30, 2020, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for legal, accounting, tax and advisory services associated with GRC’s IPO, related transactions and planning. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities includes an advanced royalty payment accrual relating to the dispute with a royalty holder on the Cachoeira Project, of $1,257,241 as at February 28, 2021, compared to $1,255,897 as at November 30, 2020.

In addition to planned work programs described under "Material Properties", certain of the Company's properties, including its Boa Vista, Surubim and La Mina Projects are subject to certain ongoing agreements that require additional payments by the Company (see "Contractual obligations") and, in order to maintain its properties in good standing, the Company must continue incurring various surface rights lease payments, land fee payments, advance royalty payments, license application and extension fees, and camp maintenance costs. Management currently believes that available cash will be adequate to meet ongoing liquidity needs in the short-term and over the next year for the Company's existing business and projects. Additional work on projects identified as part of the Strategic Review Process and any future expansion, including the acquisition of additional mineral properties or interests, may require additional financing, including additional equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
The Company believes that it has sufficient capital resources, including cash and cash equivalents and securities, to meet its obligations over the next 12 months. The Company's ability to meet its obligations and finance exploration and development activities over the long-term will depend on its ability to generate cash flow through the issuance of GoldMining Shares pursuant to equity financings and/or short-term or long-term loans. The Company's growth and success is dependent on external sources of financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Refer to "Liquidity Risk" below.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgments and/or estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Critical accounting estimates represent estimates that are uncertain and for which changes in those estimates could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. Areas of judgment and key sources of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant effect are as follows:
Existence of impairment indicators for exploration and evaluation assets
In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, all direct costs related to the acquisition of exploration rights are capitalized on a property-by-property basis. There is no certainty that costs incurred to acquire exploration rights will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals. The Company applies judgment to determine whether indicators of impairment exist for these capitalized costs.
Management uses several criteria in making this assessment, including the period for which the Company has the right to explore, expected renewals of exploration rights, whether substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of mineral properties are budgeted, and evaluation of the results of exploration and evaluation activities up to the reporting date.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the three months ended February 28, 2021, is as follows:
Recognition and measurement of rehabilitation provisions
A rehabilitation provision represents the present value of estimated future costs for the rehabilitation of the Company's mineral properties. These estimates include assumptions as to the future activities, cost of services, timing of the rehabilitation work to be performed, inflation rates, exchange rates and interest rates. The actual cost to rehabilitate a mineral property may vary from the estimated amounts because there are uncertainties in factors used to estimate the cost and potential changes in regulations or laws governing the rehabilitation of a mineral property. Management periodically reviews the rehabilitation requirements and adjusts the liability as new information becomes available and will assess the impact of new regulations and laws as they are enacted.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. The Company adopted the following new accounting standard effective December 1, 2020:
Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business
In October 2019, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations ("IFRS 3"). The amendments clarify that while businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an integrated set of activities and assets to qualify as a business. To be considered a business an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Additional guidance is provided that helps to determine whether a substantive process has been acquired. The amendments introduce an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Under the optional concentration test, the acquired set of activities and assets is not a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets. The amendments are applied prospectively to all business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Effective December 1, 2020, the Company prospectively adopted the new IFRS 3 accounting standard which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended February 28, 2021.
Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and reclamation deposits. The Company's financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, lease liabilities, short-term credit facility and government loan. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:
| ● | Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| ● | Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. |
| --- | --- |
The Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture due to related parties, short-term credit facility and government loan amounts approximate fair value due to their short terms to settlement. The Company's short-term investment is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of short-term investments is determined by obtaining the quoted market price of the short-term investment and multiplying it by the quantity of shares held by the Company. The determination of the fair value of lease liabilities is based on the discounted cash flow model using incremental borrowing rates ranging from 3.35% to 4.60%.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The financial risk arising from the Company's operations are currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and commodity price risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
Currency risk
The Company's operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in United States Dollars, Brazilian Reals, Colombian Pesos and Canadian dollars. Exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies against the Company and its subsidiaries' functional currencies. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations, however, management monitors its foreign exchange exposure.

The Canadian dollar equivalents of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets are as follows:
| As at February 28, | As at November 30, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |
| () | () | |
| Assets | ||
| United States Dollar | ||
| Brazilian Real | ||
| Colombian Peso | ||
| Total |
All values are in US Dollars.
The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States Dollars and total $1,557,522.
The Company's sensitivity analysis suggests that a consistent 10% change in the foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar exchange rate on the Company's financial instruments based on balances at February 28, 2021 would have an impact of $116,832 on net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2021.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company's interest-bearing financial asset is cash and guaranteed investment certificates, which bear interest at fixed or variable rates. The Company's interest-bearing financial liabilities are the short-term credit facility and government loan, which bear interest at fixed rates. The Company does not believe it is exposed to material interest rate risk related to these instruments. As such, the Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company's bank balances.
The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balance by only holding cash and cash equivalents with large, reputable financial institutions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations. At February 28, 2021, the Company's working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was $4,967,530. The Company's other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, lease liabilities and short-term credit facility are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period.
The Company has current cash and cash equivalent balances, restricted cash and ownership of liquid assets at its disposal. The Company also owns 20 million GRC shares, which are subject to a 180 day lockup period from March 8, 2021. The Company has the availability to implement corporate-wide cost reductions or eliminate expenditures to; discretionary and non-core activities, cash compensation paid to directors, management, employees and certain consultants and service providers, and cash generated from the exercise of in-the-money options. GoldMining believes that these cash saving and cash generating measures will sufficiently reduce cash outlays and enhance the Company's cash position in order to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve months commencing from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Risk Factors
A comprehensive discussion of risk factors is included in the AIF and other filings with the Canadian Regulatory Authorities available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management of the Company performed an evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of the Company's Disclosure Controls and Procedures ("DC&P"), as defined by National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings ("NI 52-109"). This evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with participation by the Company's CEO and CFO. Management concluded the Company's DC&P were effective as at February 28, 2021 to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to them by others, particularly during the period in which interim filings are being prepared; and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
In accordance with NI 52-109, management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate DC&P and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ("ICFR").
The Company uses the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework published by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as the basis for assessing its ICFR. Management performed an evaluation of the Company's ICFR and concluded that, as at November 30, 2020, ICFR were designed and operating effectively so as to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
There were no significant changes in the Company's ICFR that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ICFR during the three months ended February 28, 2021.
While management of the Company have designed the Company's DC&P and ICFR, they expect that these controls and procedures may not prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
