Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended June 30, 2020

(Unaudited ‐ In U.S. Dollars; tabular amounts in thousands except for shares)


1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY RISK

Quaterra Resources Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Quaterra” or the “Company”) is a copper exploration company working on its mineral properties located in Nevada and Alaska, United States. The Company is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Its head office is located at 1100 ‐ 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3T5.

The Company acquires mineral properties by way of option or lease agreements and defers all acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs related to the properties. The underlying value of the amounts recorded as mineral properties does not reflect current or future values. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves and the ability of the Company to acquire new properties and obtain funding to complete the exploration activities.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of $853,000. After the quarter‐end, the Company closed the water rights sale and received net proceeds of $1.8 million (note 10). The Company believes that it has sufficient funds to sustain its operations for at least the next 12 months. However, as the impact of the COVID‐19 outbreak is yet to be fully determined, it may have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flow in future periods.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGE

a. Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under 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. The Company’s significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates applied in these financial statements are consistent with those described in Note 2 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

b. Accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies, reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Differences may be material.

Judgment is required in assessing whether certain factors would be considered an indicator of impairment. Both internal and external information is considered to determine whether there is an indicator of impairment present and, accordingly, whether impairment testing is required.

3. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company holds 1,942,795 common shares of Grande Portage Resources Ltd. with a market value of $506,085 (December 31, 2019 ‐ $164,542). During the six months ended June 30, 2020, a $341,543 gain was recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

On April 25, 2017, the Company announced it signed a five‐year lease agreement, amended to six years, with Chuchuna Minerals Company (“Chuchuna”) to earn a 90% interest in the Groundhog copper prospect, located 200 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. To earn the 90% interest, the Company is required to fund a total of $5,000,000 ($2,379,000 funded) of exploration expenditure and to make a lump sum payment to Chuchuna of $3,000,000 by April 20, 2023.

The Company is required to fund a minimum of $500,000 each year with excessive funding in any one year carried forward to the following year. The Company had met the annual work commitments up to year‐end 2019 and will do so in 2020. The Company can terminate the agreement at its discretion.

d) Butte Valley, Nevada

On August 22, 2019, the Company entered into an option agreement with North Exploration, LLC, to earn a 100% interest in 600 unpatented mining claims in White Pine County, Nevada, for $600,000 over five years. North Exploration will retain a 2.5% NSR, of which 1% can be purchased for $1,000,000. A further 0.5% NSR can be purchased within the first ten years for $5,000,000.

On December 3, 2019, the Company entered another option agreement with Nevada Select Royalty, Inc., to purchase a 100% interest in 78 unpatented claims associated with the Butte Valley project, for $250,000 over five years. Nevada Select Royalty will retain a 2% NSR, of which 1% can be purchased by Quaterra for $10,000,000.

Aggregate payments to maintaining the two option agreements by year are as follows:

5. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On August 28, 2018, and September 20, 2018, the Company completed non‐brokered private placements in tranches by way of convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $550,000 and Canadian dollars (“CAD”) 550,000 each. The convertible debentures bear simple interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable in arrears, and mature 18 months from the closing date. Interest may be paid in cash or shares at the option of the noteholders, subject to regulatory approvals in the case of share payments.

The principal amount is convertible at $0.05 or CAD 0.065 per unit in the first 12 months, and $0.075 or CAD 0.10 thereafter until the maturity date. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant of the Company. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at $0.05 or CAD 0.065 per share, expiring August 28, 2022 and September 20, 2022. The convertible notes are secured against the assets of the Company.

In August 2019, $550,000 and CAD 50,000 notes were converted into units at $0.05 and CAD 0.065, comprising 11,769,230 shares and 11,769,230 warrants.

Quaterra Resources Inc.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended June 30, 2020

(Unaudited ‐ In U.S. Dollars; tabular amounts in thousands except for shares)


The remaining principal balance of CAD 500,000 is convertible into units at CAD 0.1 per unit, amended to expire on August 28, 2020.

The Company evaluated the convertible debentures and determined the conversion feature is a derivative liability based on the fact the conversion into units could result in a variable number of shares to be issued.

Interest and accretion expense on the convertible notes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $66,113 (June 30, 2019 ‐ $77,265).

6. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The conversion of the remaining convertible notes into units could result in a variable number of shares to be issued; the Company also has certain warrants exercisable in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency. The conversion feature and the warrants are classified as a short and a long term derivative liability, respectively, carried at fair value and revalued at each reporting date.

As of June 30, 2020, the derivative liabilities were related to the remaining CAD 500,000 convertible notes and 769,230 warrants with CAD exercise prices and were revalued using the weighted average assumptions: volatility of 100%, the weighted expected term of one year, a discount rate of 0.36% and a dividend yield of 0%.

7. WARRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS

a) Share purchase warrants

The Company had the following warrants outstanding:

Dated: August 13, 2020

(In U.S. dollars)

Quaterra Resources Inc. MD&A – Quarterly Highlights For the six months ended June 30, 2020

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Quaterra Resources Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, "Quaterra" or the "Company"), dated August 13, 2020, should be read in conjunction with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and related notes thereto. These financial statements have been prepared following International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. All $ amounts in this MD&A are United States dollars unless otherwise noted.

The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "QTA" and trade on the OTCQB Market under the symbol "QTRRF." Information about mineral resources and risks associated with investing in the Company's securities is contained in the Company's most recently filed 20-F. Further information on the Company is available on the Company's website at www.quaterra.com, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") website at www.sec.gov.

Highlights

  • Completion of further water rights sales for $1.8 million

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Singatse Peak Services LLC ("SPS"), had reached two separate purchase and sale agreements to sell certain primary groundwater rights associated with its Yerington, Nevada, copper project to Desert Pearl and Desert Hills Dairy, LLC, for $1,880,000, subject to relevant governmental approval.

In July 2020, the Company announced the closing of these sales and the receipt of net proceeds of $1,868,117. After these sales, SPS retains approximately 6,000 acre-feet per year of primary groundwater permitted for mining on its 51-square-mile Yerington property. The 2012 Preliminary Economic Assessment at MacArthur estimated water consumption of 2,590 acre-feet per year for a 41,000 ton a day oxide mine at the property's MacArthur deposit. Quaterra estimates that 3,100 acre-feet of water is required to mine and operate a 50,000 ton a day sulfide mine on the property.

Based on the price set in these recent sales, SPS's remaining primary groundwater rights may be valued at about $18.5 million. In addition to SPS's primary groundwater rights, the Company also has decree, supplemental and storage water rights associated with options it holds on private land over the property's Bear deposit.

Funds from the sale will be used to progress the Company's MacArthur copper project, assess exploration opportunities and for general corporate purposes.

  • Filing of a technical report on Groundhog copper-gold project

On May 26, 2020, the Company filed an independent technical report ("Technical Report on the Groundhog Project") prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 on the Groundhog copper-gold project. Groundhog is a 54,880-acre property situated on an established copper-gold porphyry belt 300 kilometers southwest of Anchorage, Alaska, and adjacent to the large Pebble copper-gold porphyry deposit. The report supports the Company's assessment of the Groundhog as a possible copper-gold porphyry system hosting mineralization similar to the Pebble project owned by Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd., and it provides the path for exploration going forward.

Quaterra reached an agreement with Chuchuna Minerals Company in 2017 whereby it has to provide $5 million over five years in exploration spending, later amended to six years, in order to earn a 90% interest in Groundhog. The Company is also required to pay a lump sum of $3 million at the end of the sixth year. Quaterra has provided $2.38 million to Chuchuna in terms of the agreement to date.

Review of Operations and Financial Results

COVID-19 has a limited impact on the Company's operations. However, the threatened spread of the coronavirus globally could continue to restrict people's movement, adversely affect the financing availability to the Company, may cause impairment indicators to rise in 2020.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company applied and received CAD 40,000 interest-free loan under the Canada Emergency Business Account ("CEBA") and $89,000 forgivable loan under the U.S. Payroll Protection Program ("PPP") related to COVID-19. These funds are used to pay the Company's Canadian and U.S. employees, resulting in a lower salary expense for 2020.

The scale and nature of the Company's corporate and administrative activity have remained relatively consistent over the periods presented. Quarterly fluctuation in losses has mainly been caused by interest expenses on convertible notes, non-cash fair value changes in the derivative liabilities, unrealized gain or loss on the marketable securities, and share-based compensation.

Interest expenses were primarily related to the interest accretion on the convertible notes.

The following table sets out the quarterly financial information for each of the last eight quarters:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is an exploration stage company that has not earned any production revenue. Its operation has been dependent on funding proceeds from sales of some of its assets and the limited issuance of certain financial instruments.
