2.1Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
The Company's significant accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those described in note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended November 30, 2021 and 2020. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual consolidated financial statements.

2.2Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those described in Note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements.

Gold Royalty Corp.
In March 2021, the Company's former subsidiary, GRC completed its initial public offering (the "IPO"). Following the completion of the IPO, the Company's ownership in GRC decreased from 87.6% to 48.1% and the Company concluded it no longer had control over GRC. The Company reported the results of GRC as an associate using the equity method effective March 11, 2021. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, the Company had a share of loss in associate of $6,650,226 and $7,938,102, respectively. Following the Company's loss of control of GRC, the Company remeasured the value of its retained investment at fair value and recognized a gain of $118,200,828 during the nine months ended August 31, 2021. On August 23, 2021, GRC completed the acquisition of Ely Gold Royalties Inc. ("Ely Gold"). Following GRC's acquisition of Ely Gold, the Company's ownership in GRC decreased from 48.1% to 27.6%. Post ownership dilution, two of the Company's directors remained members of GRC's board of seven directors. The Company continued to have the ability to exercise significant influence over GRC following the acquisition of Ely Gold. On November 5, 2021, GRC completed the acquisition of Abitibi Royalties Inc. ("Abitibi") and Golden Valley Mines and Royalties Ltd. ("Golden Valley") and its ownership in GRC fell below 20%. Based on an analysis performed, the Company concluded it no longer had significant influence over GRC and has accounted for its ownership in the common shares of GRC as an investment in GRC initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at FVTOCI effective November 5, 2021.
During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, the Company acquired 73,200 and 773,200 common shares, respectively, for $208,309 and $3,985,964, respectively, including transaction costs, through open market purchases over the facilities of the NYSE American.

10. | Financial Instruments |
The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment, reclamation deposits and long-term investments. The Company's financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties and margin loan payable. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:
● | Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
● | Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. |
The Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture and due to related parties approximate fair value due to their short terms to settlement. The Company's margin loan payable is current, is measured at amortized cost and classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the margin loan approximates its fair value as its interest rate is comparable to current market rate risks.
The Company's short-term and long-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of short-term and long-term investments are determined by obtaining the quoted market price of the short-term or long-term investment and multiplying it by the quantity of shares held by the Company.
10.1Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The financial risk arising from the Company's operations are currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and commodity price risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with the Company's financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
10.2Currency Risk
The Company's operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in United States dollars, the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso and Canadian dollars. The exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies against the Company and its subsidiaries functional currencies. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure.
The Canadian dollar equivalents of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets are as follows:
As at August 31, | As at November 30, | |||||||
2022 | 2021 | |||||||
($) | ($) | |||||||
Assets | ||||||||
United States Dollar | 74,979,305 | 138,692,454 | ||||||
Brazilian Real | 36,745 | 17,610 | ||||||
Colombian Peso | 468,880 | 183,151 | ||||||
Total | 75,484,930 | 138,893,215 |
GoldMining Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements As at August 31, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited, expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated) |
The Canadian dollar equivalent of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities are solely in United States Dollars and total $10,061,142. The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States Dollar on the investment in GRC by 10% at August 31, 2022 would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $6,228,567 on other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2022. The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States Dollar on the Company's other financial instruments based on balances at August 31, 2022 would have an impact of $658,277 on net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2022.
10.3Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises from the impact of interest rates on its cash, guaranteed investment certificates, lease liabilities and margin loan payable, which bear interest at fixed or variable rates. The interest rate risks on the Company's cash and cash equivalents and lease liabilities are minimal. The Company's margin loan bears a floating interest rate and an increase (decrease) of 10 basis points in 3-month USD LIBOR would not have a significant impact on net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2022. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.
10.4Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company's bank balances.
The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balance by only holding cash and cash equivalents with large, reputable financial institutions.
10.5Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations. As at August 31, 2022, the Company has a working capital deficit (current assets less current liabilities) of $6,348,515. The Company's other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, lease liabilities and margin loan are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period.
The Company has current cash and cash equivalent balances, access to its ATM Program, whereby the Company has the ability to issue shares for cash, and ownership of liquid assets at its disposal. The Company also owns 20.77 million shares of NYSE listed Gold Royalty Corp. (closing share price as of August 31, 2022 of US$2.64 reflects a value of US$54,841,248), 5.93 million shares of NevGold and received dividends of $259,620 and $514,920, respectively, from GRC during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022. GoldMining believes that its cash on hand, access to its ATM Program and ability to enter into future borrowings collateralized by the GRC and NevGold shares after the maturity of the existing Facility will enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve months commencing from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.
10.6Other Price Risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding its long-term investments. The Company does not actively trade its long-term investments. The equity prices of its long-term investments are impacted by various underlying factors including commodity prices. Based on the Company's long-term investments held as at August 31, 2022, a 10% change in the equity prices of its long-term investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $6,459,234 on other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2022.
