New Jersey Mining Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of New Jersey Mining Company (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021.

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture (“NJMJV”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The portion of entities owned by other investors is presented as non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Gold Revenue Recognition and Receivables-Sales of gold sold directly to customers are recorded as revenues and receivables upon completion of the performance obligations and transfer of control of the product to the customer. For concentrate sales, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price can be reasonably estimated, and revenue is recognized generally at the time of shipment at estimated forward prices for the anticipated month of settlement. Due to the time elapsed from shipment to the customer and the final settlement with the customer, prices at which sales of our concentrates will be settled are estimated. Previously recorded sales and accounts receivable are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the customer. For sales of dore’ and metals from doré, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price is known, and revenue is recognized at the time of transfer of control of the agreed-upon metal quantities to the customer by the refiner.

Sales and accounts receivable for concentrate shipments are recorded net of charges by the customer for treatment, refining, smelting losses, and other charges negotiated with the customers. Charges are estimated upon shipment of concentrates based on contractual terms, and actual charges typically do not vary materially from estimates. Costs charged by customers include fixed costs per ton of concentrate and price escalators. Refining, selling and shipping costs related to sales of doré and metals from doré are recorded to cost of sales as incurred. See Note 4 for more information on our sales of products.

Other Revenue Recognition-Revenue from harvest of raw timber is recognized when the performance obligation under a contract and transfer of control of the timber have both been completed. Sales of timber found on the Company’s mineral properties are not a part of normal operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of full cost of production or estimated net realizable value based on current metal prices. Costs consist of mining, transportation, and milling costs including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to the operations. Costs are allocated based on the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Supplies inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value.

1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Fair Value Measurements

When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period that are included in earnings are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company determined they had no assets or liabilities that required measurement at fair value on a recurring basis.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 financial statement presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net loss, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows as previously reported.

New Accounting Pronouncement

Accounting Standards Updates Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update contains a number of provisions intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The update was adopted as of January 1, 2021, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years and with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

**2.**Going Concern

The Company is currently producing from both the open-pit and underground at the Golden Chest Mine. In the past, the Company has been successful in raising required capital from sale of common stock, forward gold contracts, and debt. As a result of its planned production, equity sales and potential debt borrowings or restructurings, management believes cash flows from operations and existing cash are sufficient to conduct planned operations and meet contractual obligations for the next 12 months.

3. Inventories

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s inventories consisted of the following:

		March 31,<br><br><br>2021		December 31, 2020
Concentrate inventory
In process	$	-	$	90,743
Finished goods		211,414		230,318
Total concentrate inventory		211,414		321,061
Supplies inventory
Mine parts and supplies		62,370		52,600
Mill parts and supplies		31,792		28,876
Total supplies inventory		94,162		81,476
Total	$	305,576	$	402,537

The carrying value of inventory is determined each period based on the lower of cost or net realizable value. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 gold concentrate is carried at cost.

4. Sales of Products

Our products consist of both gold flotation concentrates which we sell to a single broker (H&H Metal), and an unrefined gold-silver product known as doré which we sell to a precious metal refinery. At March 31, 2021, metals that had been sold but not final settled thus exposed to future price changes totaled 1,412 ounces of gold. The Company has received provisional payments on the sale of these ounces with the remaining amount due reflected in gold sales receivable.

Sales of products by metal for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

	March 31,
	2021		2020
Gold	$	1,716,616	$	1,520,699
Silver		5,080		3,896
Less: Smelter and refining charges		(135,069)		(123,761)
Total	$	1,586,627		1,400,834

Sales by significant product type for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

	March 31,
	2021		2020
Concentrate sales to H&H Metal	$	1,510,119	$	1,400,834
Dore sales to refinery		76,508		-
Total	$	1,586,627	$	1,400,834

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our gold sales receivable balance related to contracts with customers of $109,157 and $264,779, respectively, consist only of amounts due from H&H Metal. There is no allowance for doubtful accounts.

**5.**Related Party Transactions

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had the following note and interest payable to related parties:

		March 31,<br><br><br>2021		December 31,<br><br><br>2020
Ophir Holdings LLC, a company owned by two officers of the Company, 6% interest, monthly payments of $3,777 with a balloon payment of $71,075 in February 2023	$	145,249	$	154,312
Total		145,249		154,312
Current portion		(37,637)		(37,078)
Long term portion	$	107,612	$	117,234

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no accrued interest payable to related parties. Related party interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows.

2021		2020
$	3,181	$	2,270

6. Joint Ventures

New Jersey Mill Joint Venture Agreement

The Company owns 65% of the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture and has significant influence in its operations. Thus, the venture is included in the consolidated financial statements along with presentation of the non-controlling interest. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, an account receivable existed with Crescent Silver, LLC, the other joint venture participant (“Crescent”), for $2,469 and $4,177, respectively, for shared operating costs as defined in the JV agreement.

Butte Highlands JV, LLC (“BHJV”)

On January 29, 2016, the Company purchased a 50% interest in Butte Highlands JV, LLC (“BHJV”) from Timberline Resources Corporation for $225,000 in cash and 3,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $210,000 for a total consideration of $435,000. Highland Mining, LLC (“Highland”) is the other 50% owner and manager of the joint venture. Under the agreement, Highland will fund all future project exploration and mine development costs. The agreement stipulates that Highland is manager of BHJV and will manage BHJV until such time as all mine development costs, less $2 million are distributed to Highland out of the proceeds from future mine production. The Company has determined that because it does not currently have significant influence over the joint venture’s activities, it accounts for its investment on a cost basis.

**7.**Earnings per Share

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, potentially dilutive shares including outstanding stock options (Note 13) and warrants (Note 12) and convertible debt (Note 15) were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive due to net losses in those periods. For the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, potentially dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows:

	March 31,<br><br><br>2021	March 31,<br><br><br>2020
Stock options	5,625,000	5,012,500
Stock purchase warrants	5,975,027	6,333,334
Convertible debt	9,710,318	4,916,667

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Plan of Operation

New Jersey Mining Company is a gold producer focused on diversifying and building its asset base and cash flows through a portfolio of mineral properties located in historic producing gold districts in Idaho and Montana.

The Company’s plan of operation is to generate positive cash flow, while reducing debt and growing its production and asset base over time while being mindful of corporate overhead. The Companies management is focused on utilizing its in-house skills to build a portfolio of producing mines and milling operations with a primary focus on gold and secondary focus on silver and base metals.

The Company’s properties include: the Golden Chest Mine (currently in production), the New Jersey Mill (majority ownership interest), and a 50% carried to production interest in the past producing Butte Highlands Mine located in Montana. In addition to its producing and near-term production projects, New Jersey Mining Company has additional exploration prospects, including the McKinley-Monarch and Eastern Star located in Central Idaho, and additional holdings near the Golden Chest in the Murray Gold Belt including the 368 acres of patented claims in Alder Gulch purchased in the first quarter of 2020. Recently, the Company added two rare earth element properties in Idaho to its portfolio of exploration properties in an effort to diversify its holdings towards the anticipated demand for these elements in the electrification of motorized vehicles.

COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Response and Impact

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus global pandemic ("COVID-19") in early 2020, in March 2020 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control issued guidelines to mitigate the spread and health consequences of COVID-19. The Company implemented changes to its operations and business practices to follow the guidelines and minimize physical interaction, including using technology to allow employees to work from home when possible and altering production procedures and schedules, asset maintenance, and limiting discretionary spending. As long as they are required, the operational practices implemented could have an adverse impact on our operating results due to deferred production and revenues or additional costs. The negative impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain, including on overall business and market conditions. There is uncertainty related to the potential additional impacts COVID-19 could have on our operations and financial results for the year.

Highlights during the first quarter of 2021 include:

·At the Golden Chest, ore tonnage from the underground stopes increased significantly in the first quarter of 2021 as 5,700 tonnes of ore were mined from the 842 and 891 stopes. Significant progress was also made in the Main Access Ramp (MAR) and associated development (sumps, muckbays and ventiliation drifts). The advance rate in the MAR was substantially increased with the addition of a new 5-cubic meter Caterpillar R1600 LHD in the first quarter of 2021 which reduced muckout times by 60%. Underground mining during the quarter was hampered by a strong windstorm on January 13 that knocked out the power to the mine for a week.

·In January and February, the Company completed 3,500 meters of core drilling at the Golden Chest with a contract core driller. Three areas along the Idaho fault were tested: the Joe Dandy, the Paymaster, and the Skookum. The highlight of the drilling program so far was drillhole GC 21-193 which intercepted 6.3 meters (all reported lengths are true thickness) of quartz vein that assayed 11.5 grams per tonne (gpt) gold (including 2.3 meters of 19.5 gpt gold on the southern end of the property in an area known as the Joe Dandy where very little drilling has been done to date. Additional vein intercepts in the Joe Dandy area were drilled and those holes are in the queue to be logged and sampled.

·Also, during the quarter, the Company drill completed two holes in the Paymaster area and started a third. The first two holes each hit two veins, one on the hangingwall on a monzonite intrusive and the second in the footwall of the monzonite. The intercepts assayed as follows: GC 20-183 intercepted 0.9 meters of 14.7 gpt gold in the upper vein and 0.2 meters of 6.3 gpt gold in the lower vein while GC 21-184 intercepted 1.5 meters of 20.1 gpt gold (including 0.9 meters of 26.7 gpt gold) in the upper vein and 1.4 meters of 3.8 gpt gold in the lower vein.

·For the quarter ending March 31, 2021 a total of 10,118 dry metric tonnes (dmt) were processed at the Company’s New Jersey mill with a flotation feed head grade of 3.38 gpt with gold recovery of 89.8%. Throughput suffered in January because of the strong windstorm on January 13 that knocked out power to the mill for a week. In February, cone crusher breakdowns and the loss of the ball mill motor limited tonnage in that

month as well. Fortunately, the mill crews worked overtime in March to process a total 4,600 tonnes or 45% of the quarterly mill total.

·Open pit mining progressed from the 1032 bench to the 1036 bench as production averaged 1,080 tonnes per day. Mining continued through the Klondike area as historic stopes were encountered that reduced the ore tonnage modeled. However, a narrow, high-grade footwall vein with abundant visible gold (672 gpt gold over 20 centimeters) was encountered in the Klondike pit. Subsequent to that discovery, the next bench was then drilled and a blasthole intercept of 105 gpt Au in a three-meter vertical blasthole was found in the same area. It appears that some of this vein was mined by the old-timers, however, the Company is planning to study this occurrence as it may have positive implications for future exploration targeting of high-grade footwall veins.

·As part of its dual-pronged approach, the Company continued to work toward expanding its Rare Earth Element footprint during the quarter along with advancing its knowledge base of Roberts and Diamond Creek. Furthermore, the Company is working on tentative drill plans for Diamond Creek and participated in preliminary discussions with the Idaho Geologic Survey (IGS) as part of a United States Geologic Survey (USGS) program focused on advancing the future potential of Critical Minerals in this area of Idaho.

Results of Operations

Our financial performance during the quarter is summarized below:

·The Company had a gross loss for the three-month period ending March 31, 2021 of ($71,403) and a gross profit of $97,911 for the comparable period in 2020. Gross profit decreased primarily because of a one-week power outage at the mill and the mine as a rare high-wind storm event. Additionally, the mill lost another three days of production due to cone crusher repairs which took longer than expected because of shipping delays for parts. The Company is making efforts to store more spare parts on site instead of relying on just-in-time inventory.

·Cash costs and all in sustaining costs per ounce increased for the periods ending March 31, 2021 compared to 2020. Cash cost per ounce increased to $1,476 in the three-month period ending March 31, 2021 compared to $1,073 in 2020. The all-in sustaining costs increased to $2,098 for the period ending March 31, 2021 compared to $1,198 in 2020 per ounce for the same period ending March 31, 2020. The increase in cash cost per ounce in 2021 was the result of the lost production time to the windstorm and crusher downtime. The increase in AISC per ounce included the above reasons, but the largest increase in costs was due to the successful core drilling completed in in the first quarter of 2021.

·Revenue was $1,586,627 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2021 compared to $1,400,834 for the comparable period of 2020. The increase was a result of a higher realized gold price in 2021 compared to 2020.

·An operating loss of $1,626,655 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2021 compared to operating loss of $149,532 in the comparable period of 2020. The increased loss in 2021 was mostly a result of increased core drilling and options granted in the first quarter of 2021.

·Net loss of $1,662,404 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2021 compared to net loss of $162,189 for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2020. The increased loss in 2021 was mostly a result of increased core drilling and options granted in the first quarter of 2021.

·Exploration costs increased in 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of contract core drilling that the Company had done in the first quarter of 2021. A total of 3,500 meters of core drilling was completed by a contractor in the first quarter of 2021.

·Management, professional services, and general and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of options being granted to management, directors, and employees for a total cost of $604,572.

·Timber revenue decreased in 2021. In 2020 more sales of timber at the Company’s Potosi property were realized.

·The consolidated net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 included non-cash charges as follows: depreciation and amortization of $182,795 ($135,533 in 2020), write off of equipment of $0 in 2021 ($9,537 in 2020), accretion of asset retirement obligation of $2,498 ($2,355 in 2020), stock-based compensation of $614,431 in 2021 ($0 in 2020) and issuance of common stock for services $2,300 (none in 2020).

Cash Costs and All In Sustaining Costs Reconciliation to GAAP-Reconciliation of cost of sales and other direct production costs and depreciation, depletion and amortization (GAAP) to cash cost per ounce and all-in sustaining costs (AISC) per ounce (non-GAAP).

The table below presents reconciliations between the most comparable GAAP measure of cost of sales and other direct production costs and depreciation, depletion and amortization to the non-GAAP measures of cash cost per ounce and all in sustaining costs per ounce for the Company’s gold production in the three month period ending March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Cash cost per ounce is an important operating measure that we utilize to measure operating performance. AISC per ounce is an important measure that we utilize to assess net cash flow after costs for pre-development, exploration, reclamation, and sustaining capital. Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of goods sold do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop, and sustain gold production.
