1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Sierra Growth Corp. (formerly Grenville Gold Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the province of Ontario on November 17, 1994. On June 19, 2009, the Company completed a continuance of business from Ontario to British Columbia. On February 15, 2019, the Company changed its name from Grenville Gold Corp. to Sierra Growth Corp. The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “GVG” as well as on the Berlin and Frankfurt stock exchanges in Germany under the symbol “F91Q”, and a pink sheet listing (“OTCPP”) in the United States under the symbol “GVLGF”.
The principal business of the Company is the acquisition and development of resource properties with merit.
The head office, principal address and records office of the Company are 4770 – 72nd Street, Delta, British Columbia, Canada, V4K 3N3.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company and its subsidiaries will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations as at September 30, 2020. The Company had not advanced its mining properties to commercial production and has incurred operating losses since inception of its business. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its exploration, its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds from equity, and debt financing to meet its obligations. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with private placements and debt financing from related parties. Should the Company be unable to continue as going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on its consolidated statement of financial position.
The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as “COVID-19,” has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. The effect that these events will have on the price of Company’s shares, the ability for the Company to raise capital and operate the mining activities is highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 30, 2020
