MIRASOL RESOURCES LTD. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2019 Canadian Funds INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Shareholders of Mirasol Resources Ltd. Opinion We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Mirasol Resources Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Basis for Opinion We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.  Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Stephen Hawkshaw.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds 1. Nature of Business Mirasol Resources Ltd. (“Mirasol” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s corporate registered and records office is located at 400 – 725 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia and the head office is located at 1150 - 355 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia. Mirasol engages in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties, principally located in Chile and Argentina, with the objective of identifying mineralized deposits economically worthy of subsequent development, mining or sale. 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 exploration and evaluation assets. The recovery of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on 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 exploration and evaluation assets. While the Company has been successful in the past with its financing efforts, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Management estimates that the Company has sufficient working capital to maintain its operations and activities for at least next twelve months. 2. Basis of Presentation Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The policies presented in Note 3 were consistently applied to all periods presented. The Board of Directors approved the consolidated financial statements on October 25th, 2019. Basis of measurement These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. Financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are stated at their fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for the cash flow information. Page 7 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds 3. Significant Accounting Policies a) Consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company (the “Parent”) and its subsidiaries. The principal subsidiaries of the Company, their activities, and their geographic locations as at June 30, 2019 were as follows: Subsidiary Principal activity Location Minera Mirasol Chile Limitada Cabo Sur S.A. Australis S.A. Minera Del Sol S.A. Nueva Gran Victoria S.A. La Curva Exploraciones S.A. Oroaustral Exploraciones S.A. Recursos Mirasol Holdings Ltd. MDS Property Holdings Ltd. Mineral exploration Mineral exploration Mineral exploration Mineral exploration Mineral exploration Mineral exploration Mineral exploration Holding company Holding company Chile Argentina Argentina Argentina Argentina Argentina Argentina British Virgin Islands British Virgin Islands Proportion of interest held by the Company 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition or control and up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the investee, is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with an investee, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The transactions among the entities in the consolidated group pertain to the transfer of funds and payment of third party costs. All inter-group transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. La Curva Exploraciones S.A and Oroaustral Exploraciones S.A were incorporated as of July 10, 2017 and December 28, 2017 respectively in order to carry out exploration on joint ventured projects. b) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. Page 8 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds b) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments (Cont’d…) Significant accounting estimates and judgments are related to, but are not limited to, the following: (i) Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets: The capitalized carrying value of each property group is reviewed regularly for conditions that are indicators of impairment. This review requires significant judgment as the Company does not have any proven and probable reserves that enable future cash flows to be compared to the carrying values. Factors considered in the assessment of asset impairment include, but are not limited to, whether there has been a significant adverse change in the legal, regulatory, accessibility, title, environmental or political factors that could affect the claims’ value; whether there has been an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amounts originally expected for the claims’ acquisition, or cost of holding; whether exploration activities produced results that are not promising such that no more work is being planned in the foreseeable future; and whether the Company has the necessary funds to be able to maintain its interest in the mineral claims. The Company has concluded that impairment conditions do not exist as at June 30, 2019. Ownership of exploration and evaluation assets involves certain risks due to the difficulties of determining and obtaining clear title to claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristics of many exploration and evaluation assets. The Company has investigated ownership of its exploration and evaluation assets and, to the best of its knowledge, ownership of its interests are in good standing. (ii) Valuation of share purchase options: The Company provides compensation benefits to its employees, directors and officers through a stock option plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility assumption used in the model is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The Company uses historical data to estimate the period of option exercises and their forfeiture rates for use in the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s profit or loss. All estimates used in the model are based on historical data which may not be representative of future results. (iii) Income taxes: The Company is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Uncertainties exist with respect to interpretations of tax regulations. Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized on the statement of financial position. The recognition of deferred tax assets requires management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable income in future periods to utilize the deferred tax assets. Due to a history of losses deferred tax assets have not be recognized. (iv) Functional currencies: The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The determination of an entity’s functional currency requires judgment based on analysis of relevant factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”). Except for the Company’s subsidiaries in the British Virgin Islands (Note 3a) above), the Company has determined that its subsidiaries in Chile and Argentina incur costs in United States Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian dollars as well as the Chilean and Argentine Pesos and therefore do not indicate a single primary currency for operating in these jurisdictions. These subsidiaries including the British Virgin Islands are financed entirely by its Canadian Parent and therefore act as its extension. The Company has therefore determined that the functional currency of all of its subsidiaries is the Canadian Dollar, similar to the Parent. Page 9 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds c) Foreign Currencies The functional currency of the Company and its operating subsidiaries, Minera Del Sol S.A., Australis S.A., Nueva Gran Victoria S.A., Cabo Sur S.A., La Curva Exploraciones S.A., Oroaustral Exploraciones S.A., and Minera Mirasol Chile Limitada, is the Canadian Dollar (“$”). The functional currency of its holding subsidiaries, Recursos Mirasol Holdings Ltd., and MDS Property Holdings Ltd. is the United States Dollar. Any transactions in currencies other than the functional currency have been translated to the Canadian Dollar in accordance with IAS 21. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on dates of transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non- monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Assets and liabilities of entities with a functional currency other than the Canadian Dollar are translated at the period end rates of exchange, and the results of their operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. The resulting changes are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in equity as a foreign currency translation adjustment. The Company’s presentation currency is the Canadian Dollar. d) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and short-term interest-bearing investments with maturities of three months or less at the purchase date. Deposits with banks and short-term interest-bearing investments with original term to maturity greater than three months but less than one year are presented as short-term investments. e) Financial Instruments As at July 1, 2018, the Company adopted all of the requirements of IFRS 9, which replaced IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 introduces extensive changes to IAS 39’s guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and a new “expected credit loss model” for the impairment of financial assets. IFRS 9 also provides new guidance on the application of hedge accounting. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward in IFRS 9, so the Company’s accounting policy with respect to financial liabilities is substantially unchanged. The following table shows the original classification under IAS 39 and the new classification under IFRS 9. Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Short term investments Receivables Original classification IAS 39 New classification IFRS 9 Financial assets – FVTPL Financial assets – FVTPL Loans and receivables - amortized cost Financial assets - FVTPL Financial assets - FVTPL Amortized cost Financial liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Advances from JV Partner Other financial liabilities - amortized cost Other financial liabilities - amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Page 10 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds e) Financial instruments (Cont’d) IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Company’s business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). The following are new accounting policies for financial assets under IFRS 9. The Company classifies its financial assets in one of the following categories: (1) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), (2) loans and receivables at amortised cost or (3) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial asset held at FVTPL are included in the statement of loss in the period in which they arise. Financial assets at amortized cost Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date. Financial assets at FVTOCI Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the de-recognition of the investment. Financial assets are derecognized when they mature or are sold, and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Gains and losses on de-recognition of financial assets classified as FVTPL or amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss. Gains or losses on financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income. Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of financial liabilities not subsequently measured at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, canceled, or expired. Trade payables and accrued liabilities, debentures and deferred consideration on acquisition are classified as financial liabilities to be subsequently measured at amortized cost. Expected Credit Losses The Company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for all financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss Page 11 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds Expected Credit Losses (Cont’d…) allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. A financial asset is considered in default when contractual payments are 365 days past due. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk but makes a loss allowance based on 12 months ECL. A financial asset may also be considered to be in default if internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. f) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The carrying amounts of non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If there are indicators of impairment, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of any impairment. For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (“cash-generating units” or “CGUs”). The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset or CGU). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Non-financial assets that have been impaired in prior periods are tested for possible reversal of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment has reversed. If the impairment has reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount but not beyond the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in the prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss in the period of such reversal. g) Equipment and Software Equipment and software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. The Company provides for depreciation as follows:  Exploration equipment: 30% declining balance;  Computer hardware: 30% declining balance; and  Computer software: straight-line over the estimated life of three years. The Company allocates the amount initially recognized to each asset’s significant components and depreciates each component separately. Residual values, depreciation methods and useful lives of the assets are reviewed periodically and adjusted on a prospective basis as required. Page 12 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds h) Exploration and Evaluation Assets The Company capitalizes the direct costs of acquiring mineral property interests as exploration and evaluation assets. Option payments are considered acquisition costs if the Company has the intention of exercising the underlying option. Exploration and evaluation costs are charged to operations in the period incurred until such time as it has been determined that a property has economically recoverable reserves, and is technically feasible, in which case the balance is tested for impairment and subsequent development costs are capitalized. Exploration costs include value-added taxes because the recoverability of these amounts is uncertain. The receipt of option payments from the Company’s joint venture partners are applied first towards the capitalized cost for the acquisition of pertinent mineral property interests. Option payments in excess of the capitalized acquisition costs are netted against the exploration costs for the period. JV management fees are included in exploration expenditures on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. i) Provisions (i) Decommissioning and restoration provision: Future obligations to retire an asset, including dismantling, remediation and ongoing treatment and monitoring of the site related to normal operations are initially recognized and recorded as a liability based on estimated future cash flows discounted at a risk free rate. The decommissioning and restoration provision is adjusted at each reporting period for changes to factors including the expected amount of cash flows required to discharge the liability, the timing of such cash flows and the pre-tax rate for risk specific to the liability. The liability is also accreted to full value over time through periodic charges to profit or loss. This unwinding of the discount is charged to financing expense in profit or loss. The amount of the decommissioning and restoration provision initially recognized is capitalized as part of the related asset’s carrying value and depreciated to profit or loss. The method of depreciation follows that of the underlying asset. The costs related to a decommissioning and restoration provision are only capitalized to the extent that the amount meets the definition of an asset and can bring about future economic benefit. For the years presented, the Company does not have any decommissioning or restoration provisions. (ii) Other provisions: Provisions are recognized when a current legal or constructive obligation exists, as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources that can be reliably estimated will be required to settle the obligation. Where the effect is material, the provision is discounted using an appropriate pre-tax rate for risk specific to the liability. j) Income Taxes Income tax expense (recovery) is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. In general, deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the date of statement of financial position and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered. Page 13 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds j) Income Taxes (Cont’d…) Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except, in the case of subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and when the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. k) Share-based Payments The Company grants share options to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and service providers. The Company recognizes share-based payment expense based on the estimated fair value of the options. A fair value measurement is made for each vesting instalment within each option grant and is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the options is recognized over the vesting period of the options granted as both share-based payment expense and reserves. This includes a forfeiture estimate, which is revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods. The reserves account is subsequently reduced if the options are exercised and the amount initially recorded is then credited to share capital. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at fair value of the equity instruments issued. Otherwise, such share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received. The Company grants to employees, officers, directors and consultants, Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) in such numbers and for such terms as may be determined by the Board. RSUs granted under the RSU Plan are exercisable into common shares for no additional consideration after the vesting conditions, as specified by the Board, are met. The Company intends to settle each RSU with one common share of the Company and therefore RSUs are accounted for as equity-settled instruments. RSUs are measured at fair value on the date of grant and the corresponding share-based compensation is recognized over the vesting period in profit or loss. l) Loss per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted loss per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on the loss per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in the diluted loss per share by application of the "if converted" method. For the year presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive. m) Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) and represents the change in equity which results from transactions and events from sources other than the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s translation of its subsidiaries which have a functional currency other than the Canadian Dollar is the only item affecting comprehensive income (loss) for the years presented. Page 14 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds n) Share Capital Common shares of the Company are classified as equity. Transactions costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effect. The Company uses the residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placements was determined to be the more easily measurable component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the quoted bid price on the issuance date. The balance, if material, was allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants on exercise is recorded as equity. If the warrants are exercised the related reserves are reclassified from reserves to share capital. 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Adoptions Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC. a) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in IAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized costs, fair value through OCI and FVTPL. The basis of classification depends on entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at FVTPL with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI. There is a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in IAS 39. For financial liabilities, there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in OCI, for liabilities designated at FVTPL. IFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the hedged ratio to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes. Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under IAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company other than increased disclosure. b) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles of reporting useful information to the users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces IAS 18 Revenue, and IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with earlier application permitted. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company. Page 15 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Adoptions (Cont’d…) c) IFRS 16 – Leases: On January 13, 2016, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 16 Leases. The new standard will replace IAS 17 Leases and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2019. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for a lessee. Instead, all leases are treated in a similar way to finance leases applying IAS 17. IFRS 16 does not require a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for short-term leases (i.e. leases of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets. The Company plans to apply IFRS 16 effective July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, financial information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company will recognize lease obligations related to its lease commitment. It will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as at July 1, 2019. The associated right of use asset will be measured at the lease obligation amount, less prepaid lease payments, resulting in no adjustment to the opening balance of deficit. The Company intends to apply the following practical expedients permitted under the new standard:   leases of low dollar value will continue to be expensed as incurred; and the Company will not apply any grandfathering practical expedients. The impacts on profit or loss will be an elimination of lease expense within general and administrative expenses, for those contracts with are recognized as leases, and instead will be replaced by an amortization of the right of use asset and interest (finance) costs on the lease liability. As at July 1, 2019 the Company expects to recognize approximately $326,000 in right-of-use assets, a corresponding lease liability of $326,000. 5.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds a) Fair Value Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability; and, Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data; Level 1 Cash and cash equivalents Short-term investments June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 $ $ 4,648,284 $ 16,836,008 $ 2,892,948 23,650,478 The fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management of Capital Risk The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to pursue the development of its exploration and evaluation assets and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of equity. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, acquire or dispose of assets, enter into joint ventures or obtain debt financing. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. To maximize ongoing exploration, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with maturities of twelve months or less from the original date of acquisition, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. b) Management of Financial Risk The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below. (i) Currency risk The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Canada, Argentina and Chile and a portion of its expenses are incurred in United States (“US”) dollars, Australian dollars and in Argentine and Chilean Pesos. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the US and Australian dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and the Argentine and Chilean Peso to the Canadian dollar could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. Page 17 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds b) Management of Financial Risk (Cont’d…) At June 30, 2019, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in US and Australian dollars and Argentine and Chilean Pesos: Cash and cash equivalents Short-term investments Receivables and advances Accounts payable and accrued liabilities US Dollars 686,026 10,900,246 - (15,504) Australian Dollars 434,197 487,759 - (22,127) Argentine Peso 19,932,529 - 893,566 (8,804,776) Chilean Peso 535,335,164 - 19,866,735 (10,389,639) Based on the net exposures as at June 30, 2019, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US and Australian dollar would result in an increase/decrease of $1,514,266 and $82,577, respectively in the Company’s comprehensive loss. Likewise, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the Argentine and Chilean Peso would result in an increase/decrease of $36,905 and $105,149, respectively in the Company’s comprehensive loss. (ii) 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. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents is held through large financial institutions. The Company’s receivables primarily consist of interest receivable due from major financial institutions on short term investments. Management believes that credit risk concentration with respect to receivables is remote. (iii) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined above. As at June 30, 2019, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances from JV partner. All of the Company’s obligations are expected to be paid within 90 days. Management believes the Company has sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they become due. (iv) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The risk that the Company will realize a loss as a result of a decline in the fair value of the short-term investments included in cash and cash equivalents is limited because these investments are generally held to maturity. The applicable rates of interest on such investments range between 0.05% and 3.25%. (v) Price risk Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk. Page 18 Mirasol Resources Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30 Canadian Funds 6. Short-term Investments Short term investments comprise cashable and non-cashable Guaranteed Investment Certificates (“GIC”) placed with major Canadian and US financial institutions bearing interest between 1.25% and 5.00% per annum. Maturity dates of these GIC’s are between three to twelve months. 7.

As well the Company holds several other properties in both San Juan and Catamarca provinces of northern Argentina. The Company also focuses on generative exploration to identify and acquire new prospects. Chile a) Altazor option to joint venture The Company owns a 100% interest in certain claims located in Northern Chile and referred to as the Altazor Gold project. On November 7, 2017, the Company signed an exploration and option agreement with Newcrest International Pty Limited (“NCM”) on the Altazor Gold project whereby, NCM has been granted the option to acquire up to an 80% interest in the property, exercisable in stages over a nine-year, or shorter, earn-in period. The agreement required NCM to fund US$1.5 million in exploration expenditures and make a US$100,000 option payment (received) in the first year of the option. The Company served as operator for exploration during the option period in return for 10% management fee. As of July 1, 2018, the Company is no longer the operator for exploration and is not receiving the management fees. NCM can earn up to 51% interest in the property by making a one-time US$500,000 cash payment (received) to the Company at the start of the earn in period and by spending an additional US$8.5 million in exploration within the next four years of the agreement.

On October 20, 2017, the Company signed a definitive agreement with OceanaGold Corporation (“OGC”) whereby, OGC has been granted the option to acquire up to a 75% interest in the property, exercisable in 4 stages over an eight-year, or shorter, earn-in period. The first earn-in option for OGC to earn 51% interest over four years from the date of the Agreement required spending US$10.5 million on exploration, and making US$1 million in staged payments to the Company. The Company served as operator of the project in return for a 5% management fee. OGC paid US$100,000 on signing of the agreement. OGC’s first-year commitment required US$1.75 million in exploration expenditures with a minimum of 3,000 metres of drilling, and an additional US$100,000 option payment (received) to continue into the second year commitment. On March 22, 2019, the Company received notice from OGC that it terminated the agreement. The minimum first-year exploration commitment was not met by OGC as of the termination date.

This MD&A also uses the terms pit constrained mineral resources estimate and indicated resource. The Company advises that these terms are recognized by Canadian securities regulations (under National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”). Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of or all, of the mineral occurrences in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. Norm Pitcher, President and CEO, and a “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”), has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this MD&A. 1 CORPORATE AND STRATEGIC OVERVIEW Mirasol (TSXV: MRZ) is a mineral exploration company searching for gold, silver and copper (“Au”, “Ag” and “Cu” respectively) deposits, in the Atacama-Puna region of northern Chile and Argentina, and in the Santa Cruz Province of southern Argentina. These regions are highly prospective and host many large-scale precious and base metal mines, operated by some of the world’s largest mining companies (Figure 1). Mirasol believes that well-managed and focused exploration can deliver further discoveries within its generative regions and increase shareholder value. Mirasol has four active option to joint venture agreements with major and mid-tier precious metals producers in Chile. Under these agreements, the partners fund all exploration, land holding costs and make staged option payments to Mirasol as well as pay project management fee for the programs operated by the Company. This exploration model allows Mirasol to focus its available capital on further exploration and business development activities while having multiple projects being drill tested by its partners. While the Company retains the joint venture business model as the central pillar of its philosophy, Mirasol has expanded its business and exploration strategy to fund drilling of certain infrastructure advantaged and high-grade Au+Ag projects. These Mirasol funded programs will give the Company greater deal-making leverage and place it in a better position to monetize its assets in the event of positive exploration results. This strategy will accelerate drill testing of key projects and the path to potential discoveries. 2 Figure 1: Location of Mirasol’s Exploration Projects, Joint Ventures, and Generative Programs. 3 Financial Condition Mirasol remains in a strong financial position with cash and short-term investment of $21,484,292 as of June 30, 2019. The annual level of spending by the Company is largely determined by its ability to secure financing through the sale of its securities, sales of assets and exploration agreements with its industry partners. During the year, the Company incurred total company-wide net cash expenditures of $5,049,828. The financial statements show a total expenditure of $5,917,785 of which non-cash items such as share-based payments and depreciation totalled $867,957. inclusive of officer’s salaries, board The total net cash expenditure was distributed between head office corporate spending of $3,261,112, fees, business development, corporate administration, investor relations and regulatory compliance; and a total net exploration expenditure of $2,656,673. For the year, the Company has accounted for $3,377,679 in exploration reimbursements, $1,518,570 in option/termination payments and $139,017 in management fee income from partners, which are offset against the Company’s exploration and in-country management and operating costs. Mirasol’s Exploration Strategy Mirasol is a leading project generation and exploration company with a mission to create shareholder value from resource discoveries. The Company maintains a high-quality portfolio of exploration properties with the potential to deliver economic discoveries by applying innovative, concept-driven geological techniques integrated with detailed field work. In the recent years, the primary focus of the Company’s project generation efforts has been the Atacama-Puna program where Mirasol is exploring the world class Tertiary age mineral belts in northern Chile. Mirasol is also exploring on its Santa Cruz, Argentina projects and, in some areas, staked or optioned new claims to consolidate its project portfolio. Mirasol’s exploration strategy is to advance prospects with technical merit by either: 1) entering into option to joint venture agreements with major and mid tier mining companies to fund exploration and drill testing of large-scale / higher exploration risk and cost projects, or 2) self-funding exploration and drilling programs to test high grade / infrastructure advantaged / lower exploration risk targets. Mirasol’s Joaquin and Virginia silver discoveries in Argentina are evidence of successful outcomes of these processes. Joaquin was monetized through a sale to Coeur d’Alene Mines (now Coeur Mining) in 2012. Chile/Argentina: Atacama – Puna Generative Region The Company’s generative program in the Atacama-Puna region encompasses a 1,700 km-long segment of three north-south oriented prolific mineral belts which run through Chile and Argentina and host many world-class Cu and Au mines and occurrences and are of differing ages in millions of years (Ma; Figure 2). From youngest to oldest, these are: • Miocene to Pliocene (Mio-Pliocene, 23-5 Ma): High-sulfidation epithermal (“HSE”) Au+Ag and porphyry Cu+Mo • Middle Eocene to Early Oligocene (Eocene-Oligocene 40-28 Ma): Porphyry Cu+Mo • Paleocene to Early Eocene (Paleocene, 66-53 Ma): Low-intermediate-sulfidation epithermal Au+Ag and porphyry Cu+Mo 4 Figure 2: Mirasol’s Atacama - Puna Generative Program. Mirasol uses its advanced scientific analysis techniques to target areas with high potential for discovery of quality mineral prospects. The Company also applies several risk qualifying filters to both minimize exposure to and/or increase awareness of areas that may have environment and/or community sensitivities. 5 The following are brief explanations of the three metallogenic belts and Mirasol’s target concepts: Miocene – Pliocene belt This mineral belt, in-particular, has been the focus of two recent substantial discoveries of multi- million-ounce HSE oxide Au deposits; • Alturas deposit, with Inferred resources of 8.9 Moz Au grading 1.06 g/t Au contained within 261.3 Mt (Barrick 2018 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources). • Salares Norte deposit, with a maiden reserve of 3.5 Moz Au at 5.1 g/t Au and 39.3 Moz Ag contained within 21.1 Mt. Gold Fields announced in February 2019, the completion of a positive feasibility study on this project and its confidence that that the project will be developed. Gold Fields is working on permitting and detailed engineering with construction potentially in late 2020 (Gold Fields Ltd. 2018 Year End Results). Alturas and Salares Norte are large-tonnage, near-surface oxidized Au deposits, which are largely concealed beneath geochemically barren, but hydrothermally altered, cap rocks (the “steam heated cap”) which obscured earlier recognition. These discoveries were further complicated by their remote location and high elevation. Mirasol is actively exploring for this type of Au deposit at its Atlas and Titan projects in the Gorbea property package and at the Altazor project, where Mirasol announced (news release November 21, 2017 and December 10, 2018) the signing of two option and farm-in agreements with a subsidiary of Newcrest Mining Limited (“NCM”). In addition to HSE targets, the Mio-Pliocene belt can also host large scale porphyry deposits such as First Quantum Minerals (“FQM”) Taca Taca development project in Argentina. This type of deposit will be the exploration focus for the Coronación project which is subject to an agreement between Mirasol and FQM (news release October 7, 2019). In the Mio-Pliocene belt north of the Maricunga Belt, Mirasol has approximately 119,000 ha of granted exploration claims. In the Mio-Pliocene aged “Southern Porphyry Belt”, Mirasol holds exploration rights to approximately 28,000 ha of granted claims. Middle Eocene – Early Oligocene belt The Eocene-Oligocene belt hosts many giant porphyry Cu mines such as Escondida, Chuquicamata and Collahuasi that significantly contribute to the annual Cu production in Chile. This Cu belt is considered a “mature exploration terrain” but it is also recognized as prospective for future Cu discoveries. The continued prospectivity of this belt is attributed to its extensive post-mineral cover, and in some cases, its “geochemically barren” alteration caps concealing a substantial proportion of the most productive and logistically accessible segments of the belt. While Cu was not previously considered a core commodity for Mirasol, several factors point toward possible supply deficits. Mirasol considers the projected supply shortfall a potential driver for increased demand for Cu exploration projects and, accordingly, has staked claims and expanded existing claim holdings in this belt to secure quality exploration ground to build a pipeline of Cu exploration projects. Mirasol presently holds approximately 38,000 ha of granted exploration claims in the Cu-rich Eocene- Oligocene belt, including the Rubi and Odin projects. Paleocene to Early Eocene belt This belt hosts significant mines, including BHP’s Spence porphyry Cu+Mo mine, and Yamana Gold’s El Peñón, a high-grade, low-sulfidation epithermal Au+Ag deposit. In this belt, Mirasol is targeting large-scale multi-million-ounce epithermal Au+Ag and large porphyry Cu deposits. Mirasol is actively exploring for this type of Au deposit at its Indra project where Mirasol announced the 6 signing of Option and Earn-in Agreements with Hochschild Mining (“HOC”) (news release August 29 and 30, 2018 and October 17th, 2018). Mirasol presently controls approximately 29,000 ha of granted exploration claims in Paleocene belt. Argentina: Santa Cruz Province Generative Region The Company’s generative program in Argentina is focussed in Santa Cruz Province and encompasses the area of the Deseado Massif, a 60,000 sq-km region of upper-middle Jurassic age volcanics which are recognized as having a high potential for hosting low- and intermediate- sulfidation epithermal Au and Ag deposits. Mirasol controls approximately 344,000 ha of exploration and mining claims in the province. Santa Cruz Province hosts seven operating Au+Ag mines with the recent commissioning of the Cerro Morro mine operated by Yamana Gold. Five of the mines are owned and operated by international, mid-tier to major precious metal producing companies. Mineralization in Santa Cruz typically occurs in high-grade vein systems with both Low Sulfidation Epithermal (“LSE”) and Intermediate Sulfidation Epithermal (“ISE”) styles. These deposits are mined by both open-pit and underground mining techniques. Figure 3: Santa Cruz Project Portfolio. Mirasol has been exploring in Santa Cruz for over 15 years and has a successful track record of targeting, securing and delivering attractive, district-scale projects to precious metal producers as 7 demonstrated by the discovery of two Ag deposits: Joaquin, sold to joint venture partner Coeur Mining in 2012; and Virginia which remains 100% owned by the Company. The Company’s strategy in Santa Cruz since December 2016, has been focused on consolidating claims holdings around key mineral districts where Mirasol already has established projects and where the Company’s exploration has confirmed the potential for, large-sized precious metal systems. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the export tax announced in September 2018, the rapid currency devaluation (inflation) and the upcoming presidential election. To date, these issues have not impacted Mirasol’s capacity to operate in Argentina and Mirasol has received continued interest for its Argentine projects for potential new exploration agreements, from mid-tier to major producers and listed junior resource companies. Mirasol remains focused on securing new partner investments in its Argentine projects. The Company continually assesses the investment and operating climate in Argentina and will adjust its activities in response to the evolving investment and operational environment, if necessary. JOINT VENTURE, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES Activities on Projects Under Option to Joint Venture Chile Altazor-NCM: Altazor Au project, northern Chile Altazor is an HSE Au project covering 33,230 ha located in an underexplored section of the Mio- Pliocene age mineral belt. Mirasol has completed a first-pass reconnaissance sampling over approximately 50% of the project area and reported the results on October 11, 2017. The results show comparable geology, alteration patterns and Au ppb level anomalous assays in soil and rock chip samples to those reported from surface sampling at Gold Fields’ Salares Norte Project, which has a geological setting analogous to Altazor in the Mio-Pliocene mineral belt of Chile. On November 21, 2017 Mirasol announced the signing of an Option and Farm-in Agreement with Newcrest International Pty Limited. The agreement grants NCM the right to acquire up to an 80% interest in the Altazor project by making US$10 million in exploration expenditures, delivering a feasibility study and, at Mirasol’s request, funding to commercial production the Company’s 20% retained project equity. The first-year spending commitment of US$ 1.5 million was directed to an aggressive property wide surface exploration and geophysics program for drill target definition. NCM is also required to pay US$ 1.9 million in staged option payments to Mirasol over the duration of the agreement. On November 12, 2018 the Company reported that the initial 12-month Option stage of the Altazor Agreement has been completed with NCM incurring exploration expenditures in excess of US$1.5 million. NCM exercised its option to enter the farm-in stage, triggering a US$500,000 payment to Mirasol. Exploration Program Results Mirasol’s initial reconnaissance sampling, completed in 2017 prior to the NCM agreement, covered approximately 50% of the project area. A total of 216 stream sediment, 395 soil and 933 rock chip samples were collected and returned low-level but significantly anomalous Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn and epithermal path finder element assays, from sampling in the vicinity, and of mapped breccia bodies 8 (news release October 11, 2017). In November 2018, Mirasol reported the results from the 2017/18 exploration program completed under the exploration agreement with NCM, which included alteration analysis of soils and radiometric age dates as well as results from a 1,035 line-km ground magnetic survey, geological mapping and rock chip sampling over an area of 128 sq. km, a 2,030 sample, low detection limit soil grid covering 85.6 sq. km, and a 66.9 line-km Controlled Source Audio-Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) resistivity geophysical survey. Integrated analysis of the combined data sets shows Altazor to be a district-scale, zoned alteration system, preserved at a level that could conceal HSE gold deposits beneath “barren” steam heated cap rocks and post mineral cover, as has been the case at recent multimillion-ounce discoveries elsewhere in the Mio-Pliocene mineral belt in Chile. The 2017/2018 Altazor exploration results highlight the very large areal extent of the alteration system at the project where it will require several seasons of work to complete a first pass evaluation. The integrated leading-edge technologies applied during the first season’s exploration have identified multiple compelling large-scale drill targets in three principal prospects that have alteration, geochemical and geophysical characteristics in common with the predrill target signatures of Salares Norte and other recent HSE gold discoveries. Mirasol and NCM have also staked an additional 10,000 ha of exploration claims covering potential extension of the Altazor alteration system, bringing the total area covered by the project to approximately 32,000 ha. NCM has assembled a Chile-based exploration team and elected to take operatorship of the exploration program from July 1, 2018. This has freed Mirasol exploration and management teams to peruse new project opportunities. During the first half of 2019, NCM reinitiated surface exploration of the large Altazor alteration systems, aimed at exploring extensions of the prospects identified during last season’s program, to undertake first pass exploration of new claims staked at the end of last season, and to cover interpreted extensions of the alteration system. Field work consisted of rock chip and alteration sampling as well as detailed geologic mapping. Two target areas were defined by the fieldwork completed and NCM is anticipating to complete an initial 2,000m diamond drilling program and in‑fill CSAMT geophysics during the upcoming field season. Gorbea – NCM: Gorbea Au Project, Atacama Puna, Northern Chile The Gorbea Project comprises a package of projects totaling 28,600 ha, including the Atlas Au+Ag and the Titan Au (Cu) projects, located in the Mio-Pliocene age mineral belt of northern Chile. The Gorbea properties were subject to a previous joint venture with Yamana Gold that was terminated in April 2018, after the partner had incurred exploration expenditures in excess of US$ 8 million. The exploration identified a significant body of HSE gold mineralization at the Atlas project, which returned a drill intercept of 114 m grading 1.07 g/t Au, including 36 m grading 2.49 g/t Au (news release September 11, 2017). On December 10, 2018, the Company announced a Heads of Agreement granting NCM the right to acquire, in multiple stages, up to 75% of the Gorbea Project by completing US$19 million in exploration expenditures and delivering a feasibility study as well as making staged option payments to Mirasol. Upon NCM earning 75% of the Project, Mirasol can elect to fund its share and retain a 25% project equity position, or exercise a one-time equity conversion option to convert up to 10% of its equity to a NSR royalty at a rate of 2.5% equity per 0.5% NSR royalty (max 2% NSR royalty). NCM has committed to spend a minimum of US$4 million and complete a minimum of 3,000 m of drilling over an initial 18-month period. The Company announced the signing of the definitive Letter Agreement on January 28, 2019. Exploration Program Results 9 On January 7, 2019, Mirasol reported significant progress in geological understanding derived from Mirasol’s initial interpretation of exploration data generated under a recently terminated partnership on the Gorbea package (see news release April 13, 2018). The outcomes of this work include the recognition of a large breccias complex at Atlas that hosts the better gold mineralization, the development of a new alteration vectoring model suggesting that a number of previous drill holes with anomalous Au+Ag assays may have been terminated too early above the potentially better mineralized zone, and the recognition of new target areas where gold mineralization may occur closer to surface. The scale of the Atlas Au+Ag system, combined with the relatively modest amount of exploration drilling to date (10,499 m in 26 holes) and the range of priority targets identified, highlights the project as a large, under-explored HSE system, requiring further drill testing for potential large tonnage bulk minable Au+Ag mineralization. NCM is operating the Gorbea exploration program and was able to complete, before the onset of winter, two diamond drill holes for 391m and 512m respectively (of a planned a 2,000m drilling program), 50km of CSAMT geophysics over the Atlas target as well as reconnaissance mapping and sampling over several other target areas in the Gorbea property package. The first hole drilled by NCM was terminated in mineralization and abandoned early due to ground conditions. Drilling was targeting a coincident geophysical, geochemical and alteration anomaly at depth below a barren steam-heated leach cap and was following up on the drilling results from Mirasol’s previous partner (see news release July 24, 2019 for assay results). NCM is planning to extend the hole that was abandoned and to complete its initial 2,000m program at the beginning of the next field season. Indra-HOC: Indra Precious Metals project, Northern Chile Indra is a 20,000-ha epithermal precious metals project located in the Paleocene Age Mineral Belt, 5 km south of the 1.37 Moz Au equivalent El Guanaco Au mine in northern Chile (reserves, resources and historic production; SNL Metals & Mining – December 31, 2017). The project is interpreted to host the upper levels of a large low to intermediate sulfidation epithermal Au+Ag system. The project is characterized by a large carbonate+silica vein and breccia system with weakly anomalous Au+Ag rock chip assays and strongly anomalous epithermal path finder geochemistry. On October 17, 2018, the Company announced the signing of an Option and Earn-in Agreement with HOC for Indra, and the beginning of a surface exploration program on the project. The agreement gives HOC the right to acquire, in multiple stages, up to 70% of the project by completing a series of exploration and development milestones and making staged option payments. Mirasol can elect to contribute its 30% of development expenditures or exercise an option for HOC to finance 100% of the development costs through to production, in this latter scenario, Mirasol would retain a 25% interest in the project and HOC’s interest would be increased to 75%. HOC is also required to pay US$ 725,000 in staged option payments to Mirasol over the duration of the agreement and committed to spending US$800,000 over the first 18 months. Exploration Program Results The Indra project was staked by Mirasol as an outcome of the Company’s Atacama – Puna generative exploration program and encompasses what Mirasol interprets may be the upper levels of a large epithermal Au-Ag system. Mirasol has identified a limited number of prospect pits at Indra, estimated to be from the 1900’s, however, there is no evidence of modern exploration at the project despite year-round access and its location adjacent to an operating mine (news release August 30, 2018). The project hosts the following prospects: • Agni, with a large chalcedony and opal silica alteration system and associated silica – barite structures; and 10 • Indra, with a large carbonate-silica vein and vein-breccia zone. On the successful completion of a surface program on the project that included ground magnetic, geological mapping and rock chip geochemical sampling and also alteration vectoring, HOC has agreed to a maiden drill program. Six reverse circulation drill holes were drilled in late August 2019, targeting the depth extension of the carbonate veins mapped and sampled at surface, with the objective of determining if the carbonate composition of the veins grades into silica at depth along with an associated increase in the Au and Ag values. Results are pending and Mirasol will update its shareholders once results have been received and analysed. Coronación – FQM: Coronación Cu Project, Northern Chile On October 7, 2019, Mirasol announced the signing of a definitive agreement with FQM for its 1,200 ha Coronación Copper/Gold project in the Region II of Northern Chile. FQM was granted the option to earn 80% in the project over 6 years, by making annual cash payments totaling US$875,000, completing at least 10,000m of drilling and delivering a NI 43-101 compliant Prefeasibility Study Report. Following the completion of the 80% earn-in, FQM will have a one-time option to acquire the remaining 20% on terms to be negotiated between the parties at that time. If this option is not exercised, the parties will form a participating joint venture to further fund the development of the Project. FQM is the operator under this agreement. The project is located on a major NW structural trend associated with several Andean porphyry deposits. Work completed by Mirasol indicates the potential presence of a porphyry/breccia system intruding a layered Miocene aged volcanic sequence of dacitic domes and pyroclastic units. Two distinct and coincident alteration areas interpreted using ASD spectral analysis, display affinities to a HSE system to the east, with the western side displaying a more typical porphyry deposit related style of alteration. Geochemical sampling has also defined a large 600 by 800 m Cu-Mo geochemical anomaly on the western side within the overall 3 by 2.5 km alteration halo. 11 Exploration Activities On 100% Owned Mirasol Claims Chile Los Amarillos Au/Ag Project, Northern Chile On June 26, 2019 Mirasol announced that it has executed an Option to Purchase agreement with Empresa Nacional de Minería (“ENAMI”) of Chile to consolidate and gain control of claims hosting potential extensions to the mapped mineralization on the surface of its Los Amarillos project. Mirasol holds the right to acquire 100% of 288 ha of claims (the “ENAMI Claims”) by completing US$300,000 in exploration expenditures over 3 years (including a committed US$50,000 for the first 12 months) and by making total cash payments of US$100,000 over the same period. The first US$10,000 payment has been made on signing. Once the option period is completed, ENAMI will hold a 1.5% NSR royalty on the ENAMI Claims, which will be subject to a right of first refusal held by Mirasol. The consolidated Los Amarillos Project occupies 1,857 ha and is 15 km north of Mirasol’s Rubi project and 10 km northwest of Coldelco’s El Salvador mine. The property sits at elevations ranging from 1700m to 2100m ASL. Year-round road access is excellent, and both power and water lines traverse the northern edge of the claim block. The project is part of the Paleocene-Lower Eocene Caldera and is located within the Ojos Del Salado trans-orogen structure that also hosts the El Salvador (Cu-Mo-Au), Potrerillos (Cu-Au), and La Coipa (Ag-Au) deposits. Mineralization at Los Amarillos is hosted within a thick sequence of rhyodacitic to trachytic pyroclastics and flows within the caldera, with quartz-adularia-carbonate Intermediate Sulfidation veins hosted along north-south structures, coincident with rhyolitic to dacitic dyke swarms. Numerous vein structures up to 3 m wide have been mapped over a 7 km strike length throughout the project. Vein filling is massive to banded quartz with polymetallic (Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn) mineralization and barren later stage carbonates. Reconnaissance rock chip sampling of quartz veins has returned assays up to 40.5 g/t Au with anomalous antimony, arsenic, and barium. Zones of narrow veinlets and stockwork within the wall rock carry up to 2.7 g/t Au. In addition, there is evidence of wider zones of sheeted veins and breccias zones that may be a target for bulk mining. Numerous old and small-scale artisanal pits exist within the claim block but there has been no modern exploration or drilling beyond the initial reconnaissance work completed by Mirasol. Mirasol is conducting follow up mapping and sampling and recently completed a ground magnetic geophysical survey over the entire project. Zeus Au project, northern Chile Zeus is a gold project covering 18,500 ha that is located 40 km east - southeast of the Salares Norte project. On February 26, 2018, Mirasol announced the signing of an Option and Farm-in Agreement with NCM. Following execution of the agreement, a US$ 750,000 surface exploration program was completed (see News Release April 24, 2018). The program was focused on the known breccia bodies at Apollo and Artemisa prospects, and included detailed mapping, gridded systematic soil and rock chip sampling geochemistry, CoreScan alteration mapping and 32 line-km of CSAMT geophysics. Analysis of exploration data is currently being performed and will be completed during the second quarter of 2019. On December 10, 2018, Mirasol announced that the companies had agreed to the early termination of the Zeus Option to Farm-in Agreement. NCM agreed to a US$200,000 early termination payment to Mirasol and NCM has no retained rights in the Zeus project. Mirasol has initiated the business development process to identify a new exploration partner to continue exploration at the Zeus project. Mirasol believes that Zeus is a very prospective, underexplored, Au+Ag project hosted in a permissive geological setting, 43 km East of the Salares 12 Norte project. Mirasol also views Goldfields’ reporting in February this year, of a positive feasibility study for the Salares Norte Project, as a potentially encouraging outcome for the Zeus project. Exploration Program Results The Zeus project consists of two primary prospects, Apollo and Artemisa that were the focus of the partner-funded exploration program during the 2017-2018 summer campaign. Exploration included a 36.3 km2 soil survey, prospect scale geological mapping, rock chip geochemical sampling (that notably returned up to 2.01 g/t Au and 17.45 g/t Ag in separate samples at Apollo), Corescan alteration analysis of soils and CSAMT resistivity geophysics. Mirasol’s comprehensive analysis of results indicates that the geophysical anomalies, as outlined, are coincident with the alteration on surface and that they define attractive drill targets that remain to be tested. Mirasol is actively seeking an exploration partner to move forward exploration activities at the Zeus project. Additional technical information and results are available on the Company’s website. Odin Cu Project, Atacama Puna Odin is located 20 km north of the giant Escondida Cu mine. The Odin claims cover a previously unexplored Mirasol-generated conceptual porphyry Cu mineralization target, concealed by a strongly altered geochemically barren lithocap. Mirasol expanded reconnaissance rock chip sampling outward from the original Odin target into the new claims. Initial results have returned encouraging Cu + Mo + Au assays. These areas will be the focus of future exploration. Rubi Cu Project, Atacama Puna Rubi is located in the El Salvador Cu-Au mining district, Chile, and hosts the Lithocap, Zafiro and Puertozuelo porphyry Cu targets. The El Salvador district hosts large-scale porphyry Cu mines operated by Codelco, the Chilean national mining company. Mirasol completed field evaluation and targeting programs at Rubi identifying three large-scale Cu + Mo + Au targets at the Lithocap, Zafiro, and Portezuelo prospects. The targets were defined by integrated analysis, including re-logging of drill samples and the re-interpretation of geophysics and geochemistry from previous partner exploration at Rubi. This was combined with recent Mirasol geological mapping, rock chip sampling and target vector modelling from field-based measurements of alteration minerology (news release July 24, 2017). Argentina Sascha – Marcelina Au Ag Project, Santa Cruz Mirasol staked the Sascha project in 2003 to secure the 5 km long Sascha Vein Zone, which was partially drill tested on the western end while under an exploration agreement to Coeur Mining from 2006 to 2009. Coeur terminated the agreement in 2009 and returned 100% of the project to Mirasol. On January 23, 2019, Mirasol signed an option to purchase agreement with a private mining company for the 5,700 ha Marcelina exploration claims, consolidating for the first time the full district under one company. Under the terms of the Agreement, Mirasol can acquire 100% of the Marcelina claims, by making staged option payments totalling US$3.4 million over 4 years and subject to a 1.5% NSR royalty. US$3.15 million of the option payments are due on the 4th anniversary. Mirasol committed to a minimum US$300,000 exploration spending during the first three years of the option period. Mirasol has completed an integrated interpretation of district-scale exploration data sets collected prior to 2009. Anomalous rock chip Au+Ag assays and Aster satellite alteration anomalies define a 16.5 x 4.0 km (65 sq. km) “footprint” to the district, showing a large-scale, zoned alteration system characteristic of a large LSE Au+Ag system. Five, multi-kilometre long, mineralized vein and silicified 13 breccia trends have been recognized to date across the consolidated district. The trends traverse the Pellegrini Silica Cap, or outcrop through post mineral gravel and basalt cover that surrounds the Silica Cap. The geologic and geomorphic setting of the Pellegrini Silica Cap and related silica structures and veins is analogous to the setting of the Cerro Negro Mine, which is a high grade, low cost underground mine operated by Newmont Goldcorp. Cerro Negro is located approximately 100 km to the north of the Sascha – Marcelina project. Interpretation of mapped volcanic and sedimentary stratigraphy, Au+Ag and multielement geochemistry and alteration mineralogy shows that different levels of the epithermal system outcrop across the district, exposing what are interpreted to be different levels of the mineralized column of an LSE Au+Ag system. The surface exploration activities completed this field season on the Sascha Marcelina project (see news release July 18, 2019) include geological mapping aided by the acquisition of drone supported high-resolution base images, detailed rock chip sampling, extensive soil grid sampling (with PXRF sourced geochemistry) and the acquisition of alteration data using in-house handheld ASD (Analytical Spectral Devices) technology on all of the rock chips and soil samples collected to date. This recent work has defined a large alteration footprint located in the immediate vicinity of the Marcelina claims, and hosting an epithermal silica vein system with multiple mineralized trends. Within this area, new prospects have been recognized, with the “Estancia Trend” and the “Igloo Trend”, both located in close proximity to an extensive Pellegrini Silica Cap, which is interpreted as representing the preserved fossil paleosurface of a low sulfidation system. To date, a total of 422 new rock chip samples have been collected from within the Marcelina area with assays as high as 27.7 g/t Au and 121 g/t Ag, taken from epithermal silica vein/veinlets and silica-hematite hydrothermal breccias. These precious metal values are accompanied by highly elevated epithermal pathfinder elements including arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and anomalous lead and zinc. The recent prospecting/sampling, geological mapping and alteration vectoring studies have defined possible feeder structures that could potentially be the source of the hydrothermal fluids in each of the prospects. Next field season, Mirasol will focus on generating targets for drill testing by completing systematic electrical geophysical IP lines over main prospects. In parallel with its exploration program, Mirasol has also initiated a search for a partner to drill test the project. La Curva Au Project, Santa Cruz, Argentina The La Curva Au project, with 36,100 ha, includes three priority drill-ready prospects along the La Castora trend and a series of other early stage prospects in the Curva West area. The geological setting of the La Curva project is prospective for high-grade LSE breccia/sheeted veins, as well as fissure vein styles of Au+Ag mineralization. On May 18, 2017, Mirasol signed a definitive agreement with OceanaGold Corporation (“OGC”) to explore the La Curva project. The agreement granted OGC the right to earn up to 75% of the project by spending US$ 7.0 million in exploration expenditures, delivering a feasibility study, a decision to mine and funding Mirasol 25% project equity position to commercial production. On March 22, 2019, Mirasol announced that it was advised by OCG of its decision to terminate the agreement. Since the beginning agreement, OCG completed C$3.7 million in exploration expenditures on the project and drilled 6,250 m in 36 holes. Results from the second phase drill program were released on March 4, 2019 along with Mirasol’s geological interpretation and drill targets. Exploration Program Results 14 On February 28, 2018, Mirasol announced the results from the first season of drilling at Curva. The 18-hole, 2,550 m, diamond drill program provided an initial test of three prospects on the Castora Trend: Cerro Chato, Loma Arthur and SouthWest. Drilling intersected widespread pervasive argillic alteration, silicification and Au+Ag mineralization indicative of a large LSE Au+Ag system. Two distinct stages of Au mineralization were recognized: Stage 1) broad zones (up to 106.2 m downhole) of lower-grade, early quartz+pyrite mineralization; and Stage 2) an overprinting phase of higher-grade multi-pulse epithermal veins and veinlets with individual assays up to 12.72 g/t Au and 145.4 g/t Ag over 0.8 m (SW-DDH-02). On March 4, 2019, Mirasol reported the assay results from the second program of drilling and initial cyanide extractable gold tests of the mineralization from the La Curva project. The second program totalled 3,227.8 m in 17 holes, testing targets at the Curva West prospect and the Castora Trend’s Cerro Chato, SouthWest and Pison prospects with encouraging anomalous Au+Ag intersections returned at the 3 Castora Trend Prospects. Results from all drilling to date and surface geology at SouthWest, outline a NW oriented 1,100 m long and up to 300 m wide target zone for Au+Ag mineralization. Cross sections through this target, show Au+Ag grades vectors to depth and the north, toward a large NW striking normal fault that may have acted as a “feeder structure” to mineralization. This structure represents a compelling drill target for higher grade Au+Ag mineralization. Nine samples weighing up to 1 kg, composited from mineralized drill assay pulps from the SouthWest and Cerro Chato prospects, were assayed via the LeachWELLTM process, as an initial test of cyanide recoverable gold characteristics of the main styles of mineralization recognized to date. Claudia Au+Ag Project, Santa Cruz, Argentina The large Claudia Au+Ag project (approximately 102,000 ha) comprises several drill-ready prospects and is contiguous with the Cerro Vanguardia Au+Ag district operated by Cerro Vanguardia S.A., (“CVSA”) a 92.5 % owned subsidiary of Anglo Gold Ashanti. Mirasol’s exploration has outlined five large-scale epithermal Au+Ag vein prospects at Rio Seco, Laguna Blanca, Ailen, Cilene and Curahue. At Curahue, six separate vein trends have been identified: Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Sinope and Themisto, along a 15 km corridor (news release July 27, 2015). A series of drill ready targets are also defined at Rio Seco, Ailen and the large Curahue zone. A definitive option agreement was signed with OceanaGold Corporation on October 20, 2017, granting OGC the right to earn up to 75% of the project by spending US$ 10.5 million in exploration expenditures, delivering a feasibility study, a decision to mine and funding Mirasol’s 25% project equity position to commercial production. On March 22, 2019, Mirasol announced that it was advised by OCG of its decision to terminate the agreement. OCG invested C$2 million since execution of the agreement and drilled 2,500m in 12 holes. Exploration Program Results During the 2018-2019 field program, Mirasol completed additional partner-funded surface exploration work on the property developing new drill targets that remain to be tested. A total of 249 rock chip samples were submitted for assays with results up to 7.99 g/t Au and 69 g/t Ag returned from the Curahue trend. In addition, two new IP geophysical surveys focused on the Curahue and Themisto prospects were completed extending existing survey coverage of the Claudia project to a total of 42.8 sq-km of Gradient Array survey and 96.32 line km of PDP survey. Mirasol believes targets remain to be drill tested on the Curahue, Thermisto and Rio Seco prospects and has initiated a search for a new partner for the Claudia project. Nico Au Ag Project, Santa Cruz 15 On September 25, 2018 Mirasol recommenced exploration at the Nico project for the 2018-19 southern hemisphere summer exploration season. In mid-December 2018, Mirasol initiated a shallow drill program at the project. Mirasol completed 27 holes totalling 1,610.2 m, including 17 reverse circulation holes for 907m and 10 diamond core holes for 703.2 m. Drilling was designed to provide an initial shallow test of narrow structures that have returned high grade Au and Ag assays from surface rock chip and saw cut channel sampling. On March 4, 2019, the Company reported that it had completed the self-funded drill program on the Nico property in Santa Cruz, Argentina. The majority of the assay results have been received and were generally of low grade. On May 8, 2019, the Company announced that the full results were received for the program which can be viewed on the Company’s website. Two factors have contributed to disappointing results: i) the majority of vein or vein breccia structures were found to maintain the same width, or pinch out rapidly at depth instead of dilating; and ii) the surface samples are strongly oxidised and there seems to have been significant supergene enrichment episode of Ag and Au very near surface that does not continue to depth. At this time, Mirasol does not intend to do any further exploration on the Nico project. Virginia Ag Project, Santa Cruz The Virginia high grade, Ag vein zone was discovered by Mirasol in late 2009. In the 2015 financial year, Mirasol reported an initial mineral resource estimate for the Virginia project. The report presents a conceptual, open-pit constrained, mineral resource estimate focused exclusively on the high grade vein/breccia component of the mineralization as previously reported (news release February 7, 2013). The mineral resource estimate contains Indicated resources totalling 11.9 Moz Ag at 310 g/t, and Inferred material totalling 3.1 Moz Ag at 207 g/t, all contained within seven outcropping veins of high-grade Ag mineralization (news release January 28, 2015). On March 29, 2016, Mirasol filed an amended technical report on SEDAR dated February 29, 2016. The Amended Report addressed specific technical comments received from the BC Securities Commission (“BCSC”) following their routine review of technical disclosure. The base case Mineral Resource estimate contained in the Original Report remains unchanged in the Amended Report. Mirasol’s holdings at Virginia were expanded to 70,000 ha and preliminary prospecting south of the limit of Mirasol drilling on the newly acquired claims identified quartz vein and vein breccia “float”, scattered along a 2 km trend (news release September 14, 2016). During the last financial year, prospecting and reconnaissance mapping on the newly acquired claims resulted in the discovery of additional high-grade Ag mineralization (news release May 10, 2018). Surface Ag mineralization at Margarita was extended over a 450 m strike-length. The newly recognized Julia South Dome Trend is defined by intermittent vein and vein-breccia subcrop and float samples which extend 2.15 km south from the limits of drilling defining the resources at Virginia. The new East Zone target covers a 1.2 km x 600 m area where rock chip sampling of subcropping epithermal vein-breccia and aligned float blocks have returned high-grade Ag assays. Detailed exploration, including surface electrical geophysics, trenching and shallow drilling are required to further test these new target areas to confirm if shallow cover is concealing undiscovered Ag veins that are the source of the float. 16 Other Properties Mirasol holds several additional drill-ready and early-stage exploration properties, which are prospective for Au and/or Ag and Cu mineralization in southern Argentina and northern Chile. Mirasol is advancing first pass reconnaissance sampling of its Mio-Pliocene pipeline property portfolio and will report results from this exploration at the end of the 2019 southern hemisphere summer season. Business Development Activities Since the beginning of July 2018, Mirasol has signed confidentiality agreements, distributed data sets and conducted field reviews with selected Au and Cu companies with the objective of securing potential new partnerships for many of its projects including: • Santa Cruz: Sascha-Marcelina Au Ag Projects, Libanesa, Homenaje and Virginia Ag Projects in Argentina. • Eocene-Oligocene Belt: Odin and Rubi Cu Projects in Chile. • Mio-Pliocene Belt: Zeus Project and other Mio-Pliocene pipeline projects in Chile. The Company is also focusing its exploration activities on its Mio-Pliocene “pipeline” properties to advance them to drill-ready status. HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 2018 TO OCTOBER 25, 2019 Exploration Financial Summary The Company’s total exploration costs include generative exploration, property retention costs of the exploration project portfolio, costs associated with preparing projects for joint venture, in-country operation and management, and local value added taxes (VAT).

The increase in net loss during 2019 is due to an increase in management fees from issuance of bonus shares and share based compensation issued to various directors and officers. The Company entered into a new lease agreement for head office space during the year which resulted in purchasing furniture, security deposit and increase in base rent. The Company recorded a loss on foreign exchange from conversion of funds during the year. The Company’s total operating expenses were $5,917,785 in 2019 compared to $5,457,985 in 2018. As presented in Table 2 above, the Company incurred exploration costs of $2,656,673 in 2019, compared to $2,762,028 in 2018. Reduction in generative exploration and increased partner-funded project management in Argentina and Chile during 2019 resulted in reduction in exploration expenses. Stock-based payments and depreciation are non-cash items. Excluding the above and the exploration cost, the Company incurred $2,393,155 in 2019 compared to $2,190,108 in 2018. The increase of $203,047 is attributable to the increase in management fees, office and miscellaneous, marketing and professional fees redirection of company objectives. This also includes the salary increases during 2019. 24 Marcelina Assays and sampling26,024 - Camp and general34,648 - Contractors and consultants102,434 - Environmental4,297 - Mining rights and fees4,169 - Travel & accommodation10,577 - Share Capital226 - Acquistion Costs33,696 - 216,071 - 216,071 - Project Generation150 59 Management Fee Income(77,773) (151,103) 1,229,580 1,241,269 1,680,527 1,252,870 2,656,673 2,762,028 Total - Earn-in joint venture on third party projectsTotal Exploration and Evaluation CostsTotal ArgentinaCorporate Operation & Management - Argentina Reductions in cost of travel and business development in 2019 compared to 2018, were attributable to reduction in rates and the services obtained and efficient cost management. The Company also recorded a foreign exchange loss of $1,169,138 during 2019 compared to the gain of $756,098 in 2018. The periodic variance in foreign exchange gain or loss recorded by the Company is primarily the result of the movement in the value of the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar, due to the significant US dollar asset holding by the Company. FOURTH QUARTER ANALYSIS The Company carried out its generative exploration work during the fourth quarter. The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 (“Current Quarter”) was $1,975,115 compared to net loss $14,623 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 (Comparative Quarter). As for the current quarter the reason for the increase in the loss is due to a loss on the foreign exchange during the quarter. The operating cost for the Current Quarter was less than the Comparative quarter due to a decrease in the exploration costs, marketing and investor communications and office and miscellaneous related to the operations. Allocation of resources to professional fees and an increase in share- based payments expense resulted in an increase in the related costs during the Current Quarter compared to the Comparative Quarter.

To finance its operations, the Company also grants incentive stock options to its directors, management, employees, and consultants, which will also cause variation in the Company’s results from period to period. The movement in the value of the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could also have a significant impact on the Company’s results from one period to the next as the Company primarily holds its working capital in US dollars. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Company continued to invest Canadian, Australian and US dollars in interest-bearing financial instruments maturing up to one year. The total amount invested was CAD$16,836,008. The Company received interest income of $440,137 during 2019 compared to $360,756 in 2018. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY In order to finance the Company’s exploration programs and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company primarily raises money through equity sales and from the exercise of convertible securities (share purchase options and warrants). Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the resource market, the climate for mineral exploration investment, the Company’s track record and the experience and calibre of its management. The Company has no operations that generate cash flow and its long-term financial success is dependent on management’s ability to discover economically viable mineral deposits. The Company applies the Project Generator model where it seeks and presents partners with an option to joint venture the Company’s projects, in order to have those partners fund the exploration of the project to earn an interest. In some agreements, the Company receives cash option payments or common stock of the joint venture partner, as a portion of the partner’s cost to earn an interest. If any of its exploration programs are successful and the partners complete their earn-ins, the Company would have to provide its share of ongoing exploration and development costs in order to maintain its interests; and if not, reduce its equity interest through a monetization transaction or dilution of its ownership interest or 26 conversion to a royalty interest. The Company does not anticipate mining revenues from sale of mineral production in the foreseeable future. With working capital of approximately $20.7 million on June 30, 2019, the Company has sufficient funds to conduct its administrative, business development, and discretionary exploration activities over the next twelve months. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to several factors, including the Company’s joint venture partners encountering difficulty in financing exploration programs on the optioned properties. The Company further believes it has the ability to raise equity capital to meet its foreseeable longer-term working capital needs but recognizes that the ability to raise capital in the future involves risks beyond its control. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements. PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS The Company has no proposed transactions. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES Details of the transactions between the Company’s related parties are disclosed below. a) Compensation of key management personnel Key management personnel include persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole.

Mathew Lee Legal fees Project generation, exploration management and GIS services Professional fees CFO services The Company incurred the following fees and expenses with related parties as follows: Legal fees CFO services Office sharing and administration services Project generation, exploration expenses and GIS services Year Ended June 30, 2019 213,426 54,000 - 788,077 1,055,503 $ $ 2018 189,138 101,750 49,440 711,619 1,051,947 $ $ Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at June 30, 2019, is an amount of $45,085 (2018 - $153,904) owing to directors and officers of the Company and to companies where the directors and officers are principals. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The details of the Company’s accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Company did not adopt any significant new accounting policies during the reporting period. 28 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. The Company operates in Argentina which is classified as a hyperinflation economy. However, the Companies functional currency is US dollars. Therefore, the provisions of IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyper-Inflationary Economies have not been adopted nor have they been applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s financial instruments as at June 30, 2019, consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and advances, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances from joint venture partners. The fair value of all these instruments approximates their carrying value. There are no off- balance sheet financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below. The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Canada, Argentina and Chile and a portion of its expenses are incurred in United States dollars, Australian dollars and in Argentine and Chilean Pesos. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the US and Australian dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and the Argentine and Chilean Peso to the Canadian dollar could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. The Company appointed a special treasury committee comprising of three board members to consider management’s recommendations to mitigate the exposure to foreign currency risk. The committee and management maintain a ratio of 70:15:15 for US$: CAD$: AUD$ of the treasury whenever practical. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL RISK The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, to pursue the development of its exploration and evaluation assets and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of equity. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts it considering changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, acquire or dispose of assets, enter into joint ventures or obtain debt financing. To facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the 29 Company prepares annual and quarterly expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. To maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends.
