Independent Auditors Report
|
|
To the shareholders of Radius Gold Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Radius Gold Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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 entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Radius Gold Inc. and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and its financial performance and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the IASB.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1.
CORPORATE INFORMATION
Radius Gold Inc. (the Company) was formed by the amalgamation of Radius Explorations Ltd. and PilaGold Inc. effective on July 1, 2004.
The Company is domiciled in Vancouver, Canada and is engaged in acquisition and exploration of mineral properties or investment in companies which hold mineral property interests. The address of the Companys head office is 650 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 3L6.
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance
These 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).
Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by any revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (CDN), which is also the Companys functional currency.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Companys accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
Nature of Operations
These financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements.
a)
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. A wholly owned subsidiary is an entity in which the Company has control, directly or indirectly, where control is defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
Details of the Companys principal subsidiaries at December 31, 2014 are as follows:
| | | | |
| Name
| Place of
Incorporation
| Interest
%
| Principal Activity
|
| Minerales Sierra Pacifico S.A.
| Guatemala
| 100%
| Exploration company

| Radius Gold (U.S.) Inc.
| Nevada, USA
| 100%
| Exploration company
|
| Geometales Del Norte-Geonorte
| Mexico
| 100%
| Exploration company
|
| Radius (Cayman) Inc
| Cayman Islands
| 100%
| Holding company
|
b)
Investment in Associates
Where the Company has the power to participate in (but not control) the financial and operating policy decisions of another entity, it is classified as an associate. Associates are initially recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost. The Company's share of post-acquisition profits and losses is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except that losses in excess of the Companys investment in the associate are not recognized unless there is an obligation to fund those losses.
Profits and losses arising on transactions between the Company and its associates are recognized only to the extent of unrelated investors' interests in the associate. The investor's share in the associate's profits and losses resulting from these transactions is eliminated against the carrying value of the associate.
Any premium paid for an associate above the fair value of the Company's share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the associate. Where there is objective evidence that the investment in an associate has been impaired the carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in the same way as other non-financial assets.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)
c)
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and presentation currency of the Company and its principal subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Transactions denominated in a currency other than an entitys functional currency are translated as follows: unsettled monetary items denominated in a foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position and non-monetary items are translated at exchange rates prevailing when the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Foreign currency denominated revenue and expense items are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Gains or losses arising from the translations are included in operations.
d)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash at banks and on hand, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change of value.
e)
Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
Acquisition costs for exploration and evaluation assets are capitalized and include the cash consideration paid and the fair value of common shares issued on acquisition, at the earlier of the date the counterpartys performance is complete or the share issuance date. Exploration expenditures, net of recoveries, are charged to operations as incurred. After a property is determined by management to be commercially feasible, exploration and development expenditures on the property will be capitalized. On transfer to development properties, capitalized exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment.
Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and amounts received from optionees in connection with option agreements are credited against the capitalized acquisition costs classified as exploration and evaluation assets on the statement of financial position and amounts received in excess are credited to gain from exploration and evaluation asset option agreements on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Where the Company has entered into option agreements to acquire interests in exploration and evaluation assets that provide for periodic payments or periodic share issuances, amounts unpaid and unissued are not recorded as liabilities since they are payable and issuable entirely at the Companys option. Option payments are recorded as exploration and evaluation costs when the payments are made or received and the share issuances are recorded as exploration and evaluation costs using the fair market value of the Companys common shares at the earlier of the date the counterpartys performance is complete or the share issuance date.
The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its exploration and evaluation assets and has not yet determined the amount of reserves available. Management reviews the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets on a periodic basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company will test the asset for impairment based upon a variety of factors, including current exploration results, the prospect of further work being carried out by the Company, the assessment of future probability of profitable revenues from the asset or from the sale of the asset. Amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets represent costs incurred net of write-downs and recoveries, and are not intended to represent present or future values.
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals would be when the actual environmental disturbance occurs.

On initial recognition, property and equipment are valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable costs of acquisition required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in a manner intended by the Company, including appropriate borrowing costs and the estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items. The corresponding liability is recognized within provisions.
Property and equipment is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization, less any accumulated impairment losses, with the exception of land, which is not amortized.
When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment.
Subsequent Costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of day-to-day servicing of property and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as they are incurred.
Major Maintenance and Repairs
Subsequent costs are included in the assets 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 of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Gains and Losses
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount, that are recognized net within other income in profit or loss.
Amortization
Amortization is recognized in profit or loss and property and equipment is amortized over their estimated useful lives using the following methods:
| | |
| Leasehold improvements
| 7 8 years straight-line
|
| Trucks
| 4 8 years straight-line
|
| Computer equipment
| 25% - 50% declining balance
|
| Field equipment
| 30% declining balance
|
| Furniture and equipment
| 20% declining balance
|
| Geophysical equipment
| 20% declining balance

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)
g)
Earnings / Loss per Share
Basic income/loss per share is calculated by dividing the net income/loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, potentially dilutive common shares (relating to options and warrants outstanding at year-end) totalling 4,775,000 (2013: 4,915,000; 2012: 14,945,001) were not included in the computation of earnings/loss per share, because their effect was anti-dilutive (2013: their effect was anti-dilutive; 2012: were out of the money). As such, basic and diluted earnings and losses per share are the same for the periods presented.
h)
Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognized in net loss/income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income.
Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for those taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting year the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
i)
Share Capital
Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Companys common shares, share warrants, and options are classified as equity instruments.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds.
Warrants issued by the Company typically accompany an issuance of shares in the Company (a Unit), and entitle the warrant holder to exercise the warrants for a stated price and a stated number of common shares in the Company. The fair value of the Units components sold is measured using the residual value approach.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)
j)
Share-based Payments
Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the vesting period. Performance vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied.
Where terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the remaining vesting period.
Where equity instruments are granted to employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the equity instrument granted at the grant date. The grant date fair value is recognized in comprehensive loss/income over the vesting period, described as the period during which all the vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Options or warrants granted related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.
When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model or the fair value of the shares granted.
All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in other equity reserve, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in other equity reserve is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.
Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.
k)
Provisions
Rehabilitation Provision
The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by exploration and evaluation activities. The Company records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore the exploration sites in the year in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of the rehabilitation activities may include restoration, reclamation and revegetation of the affected exploration sites.
The rehabilitation provision generally arises when the environmental disturbance is subject to government laws and regulations. When the liability is recognized, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related exploration properties. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the changes in present value based on current market discount rates and liability specific risks.
At December 31, 2014, exploration and evaluation rehabilitation costs were not considered significant.

Provisions (contd)
Other Provisions
Provisions are recognized where a legal or constructive obligation has been incurred as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. If material, provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in any provision due to passage of time is recognized as accretion expense.
l)
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Impairment tests on non-financial assets, including exploration and evaluation assets are undertaken whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, the asset is written down accordingly.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the assets cash-generating unit, which is the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets.
An impairment loss is charged to the profit or loss, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other comprehensive loss/income.
m)
Financial Instruments
Financial Assets
Financial assets are classified into one of the following categories based on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. All transactions related to financial instruments are recorded on a trade date basis. The Companys accounting policy for each category is as follows:
Loans and Receivables
These assets are non-derivative financial assets resulting from the delivery of cash or other assets by a lender to a borrower in return for a promise to repay on a specified date or dates, or on demand. They are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue and subsequently carried at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transactions costs. Gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.
The Companys loans and receivables comprise advances and other receivables, due from related parties, deposits and cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Financial Instruments (contd)
Available-For-Sale Investments
Non-derivative financial assets not included in the other categories are classified as available-for-sale and comprise principally the Companys strategic investments in entities not qualifying as subsidiaries or associates. Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. Where there is a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset (which constitutes objective evidence of impairment), the full amount of the impairment, including any amount previously recognized in other comprehensive loss/income, is recognized in profit or loss. Any subsequent increase in the fair value of available-for-sale investments are recorded through other comprehensive income. If there is no quoted market price in an active market and fair value cannot be readily determined, available-for-sale investments are carried at cost.
Purchases and sales of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized on a trade date basis. On sale or impairment, the cumulative amount recognized in other comprehensive loss/income is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to profit or loss.
Impairment of Financial Assets
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired, if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, based on the purpose for which the liability was incurred, and comprise accounts payables and accrued liabilities. These liabilities are initially recognized at fair value net of any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the instrument and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. This ensures that any interest expense over the period of repayment is at a constant rate on the balance of the liability carried in the statement of financial position. Interest expense, in this context, includes initial transaction costs and premiums payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.
Accounts payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the period which are unpaid. Accounts payable amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within forty-five days of recognition.
The Company has made the following designations of its financial instruments:
| | | |
| Cash and cash equivalent
| | Loans and receivables

Adoption of New and Amended IFRS Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the following revised standards that were issued by the IASB.
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
The amendments to IAS 24 clarify that a management entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, that provides key management services to a reporting entity, or its parent, is a related party of the reporting entity. The amendments also require an entity to disclose amounts incurred for key management personnel services provided by a separate management entity. This replaces the more detailed disclosure by category required for other key management personnel compensation. The amendments only affect disclosure and did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 21 Levies
The IASB issued IFRIC 21 Levies (IFRIC 21), an interpretation of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (IAS 37), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (Obligating Event). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the Obligating Event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. The adoption of IFRIC 21 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentations (Amendment)
The amendments to IAS 32 pertained to the application guidance on the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities, focused on four main areas: the meaning of currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off, the application of simultaneous realization and settlement, the offsetting of collateral amounts and the unit of account for applying the offsetting requirements. The amendments did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
o)
Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Not Yet Effective
The following new standard has been issued by the IASB but is not yet effective:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 is part of the IASB's wider project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. In response to delays to the completion of the remaining phases of the project, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and has indefinitely postponed the adoption of this standard. The amendments also provided relief from the requirement to restate comparative financial statements for the effects of applying IFRS 9. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income/loss in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.
The key areas of judgment applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows:
a)
Where the Company holds the largest shareholding in an investment and has the power to exercise significant influence through common officers and board members, such an investment is treated as an associate. The Company can exercise significant influence over Rackla Metals Inc. (Rackla) and Medgold Resources Corp (Medgold), as of November 4, 2014, when the Company increased its shareholding in Medgold from 14.4% to 19.1%;
b)
The determination of when an investment is impaired requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Company evaluates, amongst other things, the duration and extent to which the fair value of the investment is less that its original cost at each reporting period;
c)
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Companys title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects; and
d)
The application of the Companys accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company.
If, after exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount, the Company carries out an impairment test at the cash generating unit or group of cash generating units level in the year the new information becomes available.
The key estimate applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows:
a)
The Company is subject to income tax in several jurisdictions and significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, the company recognizes tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes and interest will be due. These tax liabilities are recognized when, despite the company's belief that its tax return positions are supportable, the company believes that certain positions are likely to be challenged and may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. The company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open audit years based on its assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of complex judgments about future events. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.
b)
Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility and options expected life. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Companys stock options.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. The Company does not hold any deposits with maturities of greater than three months from the date of acquisition. Cash at banks and on hand earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates.
6.
AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE INVESTMENTS
Available-for-sale investments are recorded at fair value. As of December 31, 2014, available-for-sale investments consisted of 2,826,394 (2013: 3,883,394) common shares of B2Gold Corp. (B2Gold), and 1,007,406 (2013: 1,007,406) common shares of Focus Ventures Ltd. (Focus), all of which are public companies.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Medgold whereby the Company has the right to option one of Medgolds properties in Portugal (Note 9). As part of this strategic alliance, the Company acquired 5,000,000 common shares and 5,000,000 share purchase warrants in Medgold by way of a private placement at a cost of $500,000, with such instruments being classified as available-for-sale investments upon initial recognition. Each Medgold warrant entitles the Company to purchase an additional common share exercisable for two years at a price of $0.15. The Medgold share purchase warrants are not tradable on an exchange. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company determined that the decline in value of Medgold shares was significant and, accordingly, recorded an impairment of $300,000. Also during the current year, the exercise price for 3,000,000 of the Medgold warrants was reduced from $0.15 to $0.11 per share, for the one tranche, and the Company exercised the 3,000,000 warrants at a cost of $330,000. As a result of the Companys holding in Medgold increasing from 14.4% to 19.1% upon the exercise of these warrants on November 4, 2014, the Company is able to exercise significant influence over Medgold and the investment in Medgold has been reclassified as an investment in associate (Note 8).
The Company originally received 4,815,894 B2Gold shares on August 10, 2012, pursuant to the disposal of a mineral property. The Company is entitled to sell a maximum of 10% of the original number of B2Gold shares within any 30-day period without encumbrance. If the Company wishes to exceed this limitation, there may be a delay of up to 15 days before the selling of the shares can be completed. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company sold 1,057,000 (2013: 677,500; 2012: 255,000) B2Gold shares for proceeds of $3,350,858 (2013: $2,421,814; 2012: $928,365) and recorded a gain on sale of available-for-sale investments of $1,289,708 (2013: $77,664; 2012: $46,065). Also during the year ended December 31, 2014, an impairment charge of $141,320 (2013: $5,863,925, 2012: $Nil) was charged against the B2Gold shares due the fair value of the shares being less than the adjusted cost base as of December 31, 2014.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company sold all of its 34,589 common shares of Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (Fortuna) for proceeds of $153,998.
As at December 31, 2014, the fair value based on quoted market prices of the available-for-sale investments was $5,561,555 (December 31, 2013: $8,687,428). An unrealized loss of $923,403 was recorded in other comprehensive income during the year ended December 31, 2014 (2013: unrealized gain of $517,005; 2012: unrealized gain of $97,132). An unrealized loss of $893,181 for the current year related to B2Gold shares (2013: unrealized gain of $437,091; unrealized gain of 2012: $456,090).
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company determined that the decline in value of the Focus shares was prolonged and, accordingly, recorded an impairment of $70,518 (2012: $20,148).
The fair value of quoted securities is based on published market prices.

Medgold
On November 4, 2014, the Company acquired 3,000,000 common shares of Medgold by way of exercising 3,000,000 share purchase warrants at a cost of $330,000, bringing the Companys total holdings in Medgold to 8,000,000 common shares, representing an increase from 14.4% to 19.1% of Medgolds outstanding common shares. Upon this transaction, Medgold met the definition of an associate and therefore reclassified its holdings in Medgold from an available-for-sale investment to investment in associate and has been equity accounted for in the consolidated financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Merrill Palmer to lease a 100% interest in the Mineral Property which consists of a series of federal mining claims in the historic Mineral Mining District, Washington County, Idaho. The lease of 100% of the Mineral Property (subject to a 3.0% net smelter return royalty) was for up to 99 years which the Company could keep in good standing by making annual advance royalty payments to Mr. Palmer of US$50,000 for the first year (paid) and increasing US$10,000 each subsequent year, for a total of US$1,100,000 over the first ten years.

Cerro Las Minitas Property
In November 2014, the Company loaned $800,000 to Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (Southern Silver) in order to fund Southern Silvers final option payment to acquire the Cerro Las Minitas mineral claims in Mexico. In consideration of the loan, Southern Silver granted to the Company an exclusive option for 120 days to settle the terms of a business arrangement for the Company to acquire either a direct or indirect interest in the Cerro Las Minitas claims, whereby the Company would participate in the continued exploration and development of the property. Security for the loan consisted of an option to earn a 100% interest in the Cerro Las Minitas claims.
At the election of the Company, the loan could be converted into common shares of Southern Silver at a rate of $0.05 per share. The loan was repayable on demand, provided that the Company shall not demand payment for a period of one year. Interest was payable annually at 8% per annum, and the Company was restricted from holding more than 19.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Southern Silver in opting to receive shares of Southern Silver as repayment.
This hybrid instrument is convertible at Radius sole option, and hence contains both a host loan receivable and a derivative asset. The hybrid instrument was fair valued on initial recognition and as at December 31, 2014 at $800,000.
Subsequent to December 31, 2014, the Company decided to not pursue obtaining an interest in the Cerro Las Minitas claims. On March 17, 2015 the Company elected to have $300,000 of the hybrid instrument converted to 6,000,000 common shares of Southern Silver, and the remaining loan principal balance of $500,000 plus $21,742 in interest was paid to the Company in full satisfaction of the repayment of the loan. On conversion of the hybrid instrument, a fair value gain of $180,000 was recognized on the Southern Silver shares held.

There were no options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
b)
Fair Value of Options Issued During the Year
There were no options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The weighted average fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $0.17 per option.
The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at December 31, 2014 is 6.51 years.
Options Issued to Employees
The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
Options Issued to Non-Employees
Options issued to non-employees are measured based on the fair value of the goods or services received, at the date of receiving those goods or services. If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be estimated reliably, the options are measured by determining the fair value of the options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information. The risk free rate of return is the yield on a zero-coupon Canadian Treasury Bill of a term consistent with the assumed option life. The expected average option term is the average expected period to exercise, based on the historical activity patterns for each individually vesting tranche.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. All of the Companys operations are within the mining sector relating to precious metals exploration. Due to the geographic and political diversity, the Companys exploration operations are decentralized whereby exploration managers are responsible for business results and regional corporate offices provide support to the exploration programs in addressing local and regional issues. The Companys operations are therefore segmented on a district basis. The Companys assets are located in Canada, USA, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico and Caymans. Details of identifiable assets by geographic segments are as follows:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed to the following financial risks:
·
Market Risk
·
Credit Risk
·
Liquidity Risk
In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Companys objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.
General Objectives, Policies and Processes
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Companys risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Companys finance function. The Board of Directors receive periodic reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Companys competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.
a)
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and equity price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies through its operations in foreign countries. The Company monitors this exposure, but has no hedge positions. As at December 31, 2014, cash totalling $97,995 (December 31, 2013: $68,059) was held in US dollars, $680 (December 31, 2013: $694) in Nicaragua Cordoba, $99 (December 31, 2013: $4,213) in Guatemala Quetzal, $1,254 (December 31, 2013: $690) in Mexican Pesos and $84 (December 31, 2013: $709) in Peruvian Sols. Based on the above net exposures at December 31, 2014, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the above currencies against the Canadian dollar would approximately result in a $10,000 increase or decrease in the Companys after tax net earnings.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any borrowings. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash held with chartered Canadian financial institutions. The Company considers this risk to be limited as it holds no assets or liabilities subject to variable rates of interest.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the uncertainty associated with the valuation of assets arising from changes in equity markets. The Companys available-for-sale investments are exposed to significant equity price risk due to the potentially volatile and speculative nature of the businesses in which the investments are held. The available-for-sale investments held in B2Gold and Focus are monitored by the Board with decisions on sale taken by Management. A 10% decrease in fair value of the shares would approximately result in a $556,000 decrease in equity.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (contd)
b)
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 Companys credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments and advances and other receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with large financial institutions. The Company does not have cash and cash equivalents or available-for-sale investments that are invested in asset based commercial paper. For advances and other receivables, the Company estimates, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and provides a provision for losses based on the estimated realizable value.
c)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Companys approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. At December 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of $7.6 million (December 31, 2013: $10.4 million) available to apply against short-term business requirements. All of the Companys financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 45 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
Determination of Fair value
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
Management considers that due to their short-term nature the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities, which include cash, due from related parties, advances and other receivables, deposits, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties are assumed to approximate their fair values.
The fair value investments in associates are detailed in the following table:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (contd)
Fair Value Hierarchy
Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
| | | |
| Level 1
| | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
| Level 2
| | Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
|
| Level 3
| | Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
|
The available-for-sale investments for B2Gold and Focus are based on quoted prices and are therefore considered to be Level 1.
There were no transfers between Levels in the year.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Companys objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Companys ability to continue as a going concern in order to advance its mineral properties. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares periodic budgets that are updated as necessary. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it to effectively support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for general administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company monitors its cash, available-for-sale investments, common shares, warrants and stock options as capital. There were no changes in the Companys approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Companys investment policy is to hold cash in interest bearing bank accounts, which pay comparable interest rates to highly liquid short-term interest bearing investments with maturities of one year or less and which can be liquidated at any time without penalties. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements and do not have exposure to asset-backed commercial paper or similar products. The Company expects its current capital resources to be sufficient to carry out its planned exploration programs and operating costs for the next twelve months.

Business of the Company
The Company has been exploring for gold in Latin America for over a decade which has resulted in the discovery of several gold deposits in Central America. Following the sale of its Trebol and El Pavon projects in Nicaragua to B2Gold Corp. (B2Gold), the Company has a strong treasury of over 2.8 million common shares of B2Gold. Management has been conducting an ongoing review of exploration projects and/or distressed junior companies that may be available for acquisition or joint venture with the aim of expanding the geographic and commodity focus of the Company.
Proposed Change of Business
In light of the current state of the mineral exploration and mining sector and given the expertise and skill sets of the members of the Board of Directors and management, management and the Board of the Company believe that the ideal allocation of the Companys working capital would be within the framework of a resources-focused investment company making investments in privately held and publicly traded corporations, while maintaining a limited number of mineral projects for direct exploration activities. For those reasons, management and the Board have proposed that the Company undergo a Change of Business (the Proposed COB) from a Tier 2 Mining Issuer to a Tier 1 Investment Issuer in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV).
Details regarding the Proposed COB are set out in the Companys Management Proxy Circular dated March 20, 2015 which is available for viewing on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Shareholder approval to the Proposed COB was obtained at the Company annual and special meeting held on April 23, 2015. Completion of the Proposed COB is subject to final approval by the TSXV.
A summary of the Companys properties and recent transactions is provided below:
Peru Bayovar 12 Project Royalty
In March 2015, the Company agreed, subject to TSXV approval, to purchase from Focus Ventures Ltd. (Focus) a production royalty, equivalent to a 2% net smelter return, on Focuss 70% interest in future phosphate production from the Bayovar 12 project located in the Sechura district of northern Peru. The purchase price for the royalty is US$1.0 million. Focus will have the right for 12 months to buy back one-half of the royalty for US$1.0 million. Should the Company decide at any time in the future to sell the royalty, Focus will retain a first right of refusal. The Company and Focus are related parties. The royalty purchase was completed on April 15, 2015.
Mexico Margarita Project
In March 2015, the Company acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the Margarita Silver Project located in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. The Project consists of two mining exploration licenses comprising a total of 125 hectares located approximately 115 kilometres NW of the historic silver mining city of Parral, Chihuahua, in the Mexican Silver Belt, one of the most productive silver camps in the world.
Property Background
Mineralization on the Project is hosted in a series of parallel, steeply-dipping, northwest-trending veins, the most important of which, the El Tren-Margarita vein, outcrops prominently as an oxidized ochre-coloured banded quartz-limonite vein. It is exposed over a strike length of 1.7 kilometres within the property boundaries, and is known to strike over 4 kilometres onto adjacent ground.
The El Tren-Margarita vein is a classic banded epithermal quartz vein with an apparent thickness of between 1 and 5 metres. Recent project due diligence work by the Companys geologists included in-chip channel sampling continuously across a five metre in situ exposure of the vein. The sampling assayed 640 ppm Ag over 5.0 metres and include the following results:

There is evidence on the Margarita Project of near-continuous artisanal-scale surface and near-surface mining along the entire strike length of the vein, but there is no physical or recorded evidence of diamond drilling or other signs of modern exploration works. The Company considers the exploration potential for a vein-hosted high grade silver deposit to be excellent.
The Margarita Project is located in the boundary region of the Sierra Madre Occidental volcanic province and the Mesozoic Chihuahua sedimentary basin. District geology is dominated by a thick sequence of Cenozoic felsic volcanic rocks divided into two units: the Lower and Upper Volcanic Groups. This metallogenic province hosts world-class silver mining camps, including San Julian (Fresnillo plc.), Pitarilla (Silver Standard), Dolores (Pan American Silver), and many others.
The Project concessions are surrounded on all sides by the Los Gatos concession package of Sunshine Silver Mines. The Los Gatos Property consists of a large land package, and includes a series of generally northwest trending veins similar to El Tren-Margarita. Los Gatos hosts a project-wide indicated resource of 5.5 Mt at 186 ppm Ag for a total of 32.9 Moz and an inferred resource of 14.3 Mt at 116 ppm Ag for a total of 53.2 Moz Ag.
Cautionary Language: The Los Gatos resource is quoted from: (NI) 43-101 Technical Report: Mineral Resources of the Los Gatos Project, Chihuahua, Mexico. Tetra Tech Inc. December 21st, 2012. Radiuss Qualified Person has not verified the information regarding the Los Gatos resource. The information on the Los Gatos resource is given to provide the geological context for the Margarita Project, and it is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the Margarita Project.
Option Terms
The Company has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Margarita Project by making cash payments to the property owners, two private Mexico corporations, totalling US$3,000,000 over a period of five years following issuance of a drill permit for the Project. If the option is exercised by the Company, the property owners will be entitled to a 0.5% NSR royalty. The Company may re-purchase the royalty at any time for US$500,000.
Mexico Cerro Las Minitas Property
Pursuant to a loan transaction with Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (Southern Silver) described below, in March 2015 the Company has acquired a 13.5% interest in Southern Silver which owns the Cerro Las Minitas property located about 70 kilometres to the northeast of the city of Durango in Durango State, Mexico, and is accessed easily by road. The property comprises 19 concessions covering approximately 13,700 hectares, and lies within heart of the Faja de Plata (Belt of Silver) of north central Mexico. The belt is one of the most significant silver producing regions in the world.
Management of the Company, after reviewing the past three years historical drill results provided by Southern Silver, feels that this property has the potential to host a significant silver deposit. In November 2014, the Company advanced $800,000 to Southern Silver in order to fund Southern Silvers final option payment to acquire the Cerro Las Minitas mineral claims in Mexico. This secured loan granted the Company the exclusive right to conduct an in-depth review of the mineral claims and the exploration data, so that the Company could decide, by March 13, 2015, whether the Company wished to negotiate an agreement to acquire from Southern Silver either a direct or indirect interest in the Cerro Las Minitas claims.
Management of the Company decided to not pursue acquiring such an interest, and elected to convert $300,000 of the loan into common shares of Southern Silver. Accordingly, on March 19, 2015, the Company acquired 6,000,000 shares of Southern Silver and was repaid the balance of the loan of $500,000, plus interest, in cash.
Idaho Blue Hill Gold Property
In July 2014, the Company entered into an agreement whereby Otis Gold Corp. (Otis) has granted to the Company the right to acquire a 70% interest in the Blue Hill Property which consists of 36 federal lode mining claims located on federal land (comprising 295 hectares), and one Idaho State lease (comprising 33 hectares) in southeastern Idaho, 24 kilometres south of the town of Oakley and 4 kilometres north of the Utah border.
The Company has been granted the option to acquire a 70% interest in the property (subject to a 2.5% NSR royalty on a portion of the property). The option may be exercised by making cash payments to Otis totaling US$525,000 and incurring exploration expenditures on the property totaling US$5,000,000, over a period of four years.
In the fall 2014, the Company, completed five diamond drill holes totalling 1,308 metres. The drill program was designed to test geophysical resistivity anomalies in the Paleozoic basement rocks to the historically known surface mineralization, which is hosted by Cenozoic-aged volcanic rocks. The geophysical resistivity anomalies were interpreted as possibly representing subvertical structural zones that could correspond to feeder systems to the surface mineralization. Drill holes BHC14-01, 02, and 03 were drilled through two separate resistivity anomalies, and did not encounter any structural feature, mineralization, or alteration zone related to a deep feeder system. Drill holes BHC14-04 and 05 tested interpreted structural corridors for near-surface mineralization.
Although the near-surface mineralized intervals intercepted were consistent with historical drilling results in the same area, the drill program did not meet its primary objective of identifying feeder structures. Post-mineral faulting may have offset the near-surface mineralization from its underlying feeders, or the hydrothermal plumbing system may not have passed through the Paleozoic strata where drill-tested. More exploration work would be required to follow up on these results. At this time the Company is considering its options for further exploration work on the property.
Idaho Mineral Property
The Company had an agreement with renowned prospector, Merrill Palmer, to lease a 100% interest in the Mineral Property which consists of a series of federal mining claims in the historic Mineral Mining District, Washington County, Idaho. The lease of 100% of the Mineral Property (subject to a 3.0% net smelter return royalty) was for up to 99 years which the Company could keep in good standing by making annual advance royalty payments to Mr. Palmer of US$50,000 for the first year and increasing US$10,000 each subsequent year, for a total of US$1,100,000 over the first ten years. Annual payments after the tenth year of US$150,000 would have been required until commercial production had commenced. During the first five years of the lease, the Company could have reduced the NSR royalty to 1.5% by paying US$2.0 million to Mr. Palmer. In February 2015, after review of the Companys first pass geological evaluation of the property, the Company decided to drop the lease.
Mexico - Tlacolula Property
The Company discovered silver mineralization in 2005 following a regional stream geochemical survey in various areas of the state of Oaxaca. An initial trenching program on the Tlacolula property defined a broad low grade silver/gold anomaly associated with opaline silica, indicating a high level system. In late 2009, the Company optioned the Tlacolula silver project to Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (TSX-FVI) (Fortuna) and the option agreement was amended in December 2012 and in November 2014. The 12,642 hectare property is located 14 kilometres east-southeast of the city of Oaxaca and 30 kilometres northeast of Fortunas 100%-owned San Jose silver-gold mine.
Pursuant to the option agreement as amended, Fortuna has the right until January 2017 to earn a 60% interest in the Tlacolula project by spending US$2 million on exploration, which includes a commitment to drill 1,500 metres within 12 months of issuance of a drill permit for the project. To date, the Company has received US$200,000 in cash and 34,589 shares of Fortuna., and to complete the option payments, Fortuna must pay to the Company US$100,000 in cash and US$100,000 worth of shares in Fortuna within 90 days of completion of the 1,500 metre drill program. Fortuna has not yet received a drill permit.
Guatemala Tambor Project Royalty
In 2012, the Company sold its interest in its subsidiary, Exploraciones Mineras de Guatemala S.A., which holds the Tambor gold project in Guatemala, to Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (KCA), giving KCA a 100% interest in the project. In consideration therefor, KCA agreed to repay approximately US$400,000 owing to the Company (US$100,000 paid in 2012 and the balance to be paid once KCA has commenced shipment of gold produced from the property). Commercial production commenced in late 2014 and accordingly, in January 2015 KCA paid to the Company US$341,063. KCA will commence making quarterly royal payments to the Company based on the then price of gold and the number of ounces produced from the property.
Guatemala - Southeast Guatemala Ag-Au Epithermal Fields
As a result of continued uncertainty surrounding the granting of both exploration and exploitation concessions in Guatemala, and a general increase in the level of anti-mining activism in many parts of the country, the Company ceased its ongoing exploration activities in the country in the third quarter of 2013 though care and maintenance of the properties continue. Management will reassess the Companys plans for this country on a regular basis and exploration activities may be ramped back up if the mining investment climate improves.
Nicaragua
In 2012, the Company sold its Trebol and Pavon properties to B2Gold in consideration of 4,815,894 common shares of B2Gold with a fair value at that time of $16,662,993. In addition, B2Gold agreed to make contingent payments to the Company of US$10 per ounce of gold on 40% of any proven and probable mineral reserves in excess of 500,000 ounces which may in the future be outlined at Trebol (on a 100% basis). Any future royalty payments from B2Gold will be recorded as revenue at such time they are virtually certain to be received.
Also in 2012, B2Gold and the Company entered into joint venture agreements on 60% - 40% basis with respect to the Companys San Jose and B2Golds La Magnolia properties in Nicaragua. In 2013, an agreement was reached whereby the Company would sell to B2Gold its 40% interest in the San Jose and La Magnolia properties in consideration of a 2% NSR royalty on each property, and B2Gold would have the right to purchase one-half of each royalty for US$1,000,000. The Company and B2Gold have since decided to relinquish the La Magnolia concession. Formal agreements were signed by the companies in October 2014, and the closing of the San Jose sale is anticipated to take place in the second quarter of 2015.

The year ended December 31, 2012 shows a net income due a gain on sale of properties of $16.3 million which relate to the sale of mineral properties to B2Gold. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was significantly impacted by an impairment charge on available-for-sale investments of $5.9 million. Total assets were higher as at December 31, 2012 due to the B2Gold shares received from the sale of mineral properties to B2Gold. Total assets then decreased during the next two years as cash was used for operations and the market price of B2Gold shares has declined since December 31, 2012, thus leading to a lower available-for-sale investments carrying value.

The quarter ended March 31, 2014 resulted in a net income before income taxes due to a gain on sale of available-for-sale investments of $1,289,708. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, an impairment charge of $5,894,147 on available-for-sale investments significantly increased the loss before income taxes for that period. The net loss before income taxes for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 included impairment charges on available-for-sale investments of $300,000 and $141,320, respectively.
Results of Operations
Quarter ended December 31, 2014
The net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $1,005,167 compared to $699,656 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $305,511. Exploration expenditures in the current quarter totalled $524,667 compared to $148,152 in the comparative quarter, an increase of $376,515. The current quarter recorded a write-off of exploration and evaluation asset costs of $86,753 whereas no such charge was recorded in the comparative quarter. The comparative quarter recorded a share of post-tax losses of Rackla Metals Inc. (Rackla), an associated company, of $351,268 whereas the current quarter recorded a share of post-tax losses of Medgold Resources Corp. (Medgold), a company that became an associated company during the current quarter, of $57,000. Rackla incurred a loss during the current quarter as well but due to the carrying value of the Companys investment in this associate being reduced to $1 in 2013, the Company no longer picks up its portion of the loss.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 were $208,591 compared to $199,588 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $9,003. Notable cost increases were $10,521 in office and miscellaneous, $8,041 in public relations, $7,555 in legal and audit fees, and $7,137 in travel and accommodation. Office and miscellaneous costs were higher primarily because of the Company incurring more office lease expense. Public relations and travel and accommodation costs were higher due to more involvement in tradeshows during the current quarter. Legal and audit fees were higher due to additional legal services required. The only significant cost decreases were $20,479 in salaries and benefits which were lower due to a reduction in personnel that took effect at the beginning of the current fiscal year and $5,609 in property investigations.
Year ended December 31, 2014
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,369,907 compared to $8,287,763 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a difference of $6,917,856. The significantly higher net loss for the comparative year is due to an impairment charge of $5,934,443 on available-for-sale investments compared to $441,320 charged in the current year. The current year also recorded a gain of $1,289,708 from the sale of B2Gold shares whereas the comparative year recorded a gain from the sale of B2Gold shares as well but a much lesser amount of $81,217. As with the quarterly comparison, the current year did not record its share of post-tax losses for Rackla but did record its share of Medgolds post-tax losses totaling $57,000 whereas the comparative year recorded only a share of post-tax losses for Rackla totaling $493,318. Both the current and comparative years recorded write-offs of exploration and evaluation asset costs of $86,753 and $171,815, respectively. Exploration expenditures in the current year totalled $1,354,815 compared to $1,039,309 in the comparative year, an increase of $315,506.
General and administrative expenses for the current year were $758,562 compared to $844,056 for the comparative year, a decrease of $85,494. Salaries and benefits, consulting fees, legal and audit fees, and public relations saw decreases of $139,807, $28,000, $23,673, and $14,844, respectively, in the current year. Salaries and benefits were lower for the same reason given in the quarterly comparison. Legal and audit fees were higher in the comparative year due to the sale of mineral properties in 2012 that required more auditor involvement in 2013. There were no consulting fees for the current year whereas the comparative year included a long standing consulting agreement that was terminated prior to the current year. Public relations costs were lower as the Company engaged in less promotional activities during the first nine months of the current year. Notable cost increases in the current year were $54,107 in office and miscellaneous, $46,629 in property investigations, and $22,500 in management fees. Office and miscellaneous costs were higher in the current year for the same reason as in the quarterly comparison. Property investigation costs were higher in the current year due to the Companys activities investigating new opportunities. Management fees were higher due to the monthly compensation for the Chief Executive Officer being increased at the start of the fourth quarter in the comparative year.

Further details regarding exploration expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are provided in the schedules at the end of this MD&A.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys cash decreased from approximately $1.56 million at December 31, 2013 to $1.24 million at December 31, 2014. As at December 31, 2014 working capital was $7.6 million compared to $10.4 million at December 31, 2013. Included in working capital is the value of the Companys investment in B2Gold common shares. As at December 31, 2014, these shares had a fair value of $5.37 million. The Company is entitled to sell a maximum of 10% of the original number of B2Gold shares within any 30-day period without encumbrance. If the Company wishes to exceed this limitation, there may be a delay of up to 15 days before the selling of the shares can be completed. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company sold 677,500 B2Gold shares for proceeds of $2.42 million. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company sold an additional 1,057,000 B2Gold shares for proceeds of approximately $3.35 million.
In addition to the remaining 2,826,394 B2Gold shares, the Company currently holds 1,007,406 common shares of Focus Ventures Ltd. (Focus) and 6,000,000 common shares of Southern Silver as part of its available-for-sale investments. In February 2014, the Company acquired 5,000,000 Medgold shares and warrants by participating in a Medgold private placement financing at a cost of $500,000 and recorded this investment as an available-for-sale investment. In November 2014, the Company then acquired an additional 3,000,000 Medgold shares when 3,000,000 Medgold warrants were exercised at a cost of $330,000. The investment was then reclassified as an investment in an associate beginning in November 2014. As at December 31, 2014, the Company and Medgold had two common directors. The Company currently holds a remaining balance of 2,000,000 Medgold warrants and although these warrants are transferable, they are not traded on an exchange. The 6,000,000 common shares held in Southern Silver were received subsequent to December 31, 2014 as partial settlement of a loan to Southern Silver. The Company held 7,175,700 warrants in Rackla that were tradable on the TSX-V until they expired unexercised in June 2013, and held a further 1,345,338 Rackla warrants that expired unexercised in October 2014.
As at December 31, 2014, the carrying amount for all available-for-sale investments was $5.56 million compared to $8.69 million as at December 31, 2013. The Company also currently holds 9,866,376 common shares in Rackla and the 8,000,000 common shares in Medgold referred to above with fair values as at December 31, 2014 of $147,996 and $560,000, respectively. However, the investments in Rackla and Medgold are being accounted for as investments in associates, using the equity method, since the Company is able to exercise significant influence on the investments.
The Company intends to use proceeds from previous and future sales of its equity investments to fund its exploration programs and general working capital requirements.
The Company expects its current capital resources to be sufficient to carry out its planned exploration programs and operating costs for the next twelve months;
Commitment
The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for its office premises. The Company also rents space to other companies related by common directors and officers on a month to month basis, the amounts of which are netted against rental expense; however, there are no commitments from these companies and thus the amounts presented below are the gross commitments. Expected lease payments due by period as at December 31, 2014 are as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received a total of $211,473 from those companies it rents space to.
Capital Management
The Companys objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Companys ability to continue as a going concern in order to advance its mineral properties. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares periodic budgets that are updated as necessary. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it to effectively support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for general administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company monitors its cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments, common shares, warrants and stock options as capital. There were no changes in the Companys approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Companys investment policy is to hold cash in interest bearing bank accounts, which pay comparable interest rates to highly liquid short-term interest bearing investments with maturities of one year or less and which can be liquidated at any time without penalties. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements and do not have exposure to asset-backed commercial paper or similar products.
Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company is exposed to the following financial risks:
·
Market Risk
·
Credit Risk
·
Liquidity Risk
In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This section describes the Companys objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout the accompanying amended financial statements.
General Objectives, Policies and Processes
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Companys risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Companys finance function. The Board of Directors receives periodic reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Companys competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.
a)
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and equity price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies through its operations in foreign countries. The Company monitors this exposure, but has no hedge positions. As at December 31, 2014, cash totalling $97,995 (December 31, 2013: $68,059) was held in US dollars, $680 (December 31, 2013: $694) in Nicaragua Cordoba, $99 (December 31, 2013: $4,213) in Guatemala Quetzal, $1,254 (December 31, 2013: $690) in Mexican Pesos and $84 (December 31, 2013: $709) in Peruvian Sols. Based on the above net exposures at December 31, 2014, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the above currencies against the Canadian dollar would approximately result in a $10,000 increase or decrease in the Companys after tax net earnings.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any borrowings. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash held with chartered Canadian financial institutions. The Company considers this risk to be limited as it holds no assets or liabilities subject to variable rates of interest.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the uncertainty associated with the valuation of assets arising from changes in equity markets. The Companys available-for-sale investments are exposed to significant equity price risk due to the potentially volatile and speculative nature of the businesses in which the investments are held. The available-for-sale investments held in B2Gold and Focus are monitored by the Board with decisions on sale taken by Management. A 10% decrease in fair value of the shares would approximately result in a $556,000 decrease in equity.
b)
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 Companys credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments and advances and other receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with large financial institutions. The Company does not have cash and cash equivalents or available-for-sale investments that are invested in asset based commercial paper. For advances and other receivables, the Company estimates, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and provides a provision for losses based on the estimated realizable value.
c)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Companys approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. The Company believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the known requirements at this time.
Determination of Fair value
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
Management considers that due to their short-term nature the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities, which include cash, due from related parties, advances and other receivables, deposits, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties are assumed to approximate their fair values.
The fair value investments in associates are detailed in the following table:
| | |
| December 31, 2014
| December 31, 2014
|
| Book value
| Fair value
|
Financial assets
| | |
Shares held in Rackla and recorded as investment in associate
| $ 1
| $ 147,996
|
Shares held in Medgold and recorded as investment in associate
| $ 473,000
| $ 560,000
|
Fair Value Hierarchy
Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
| | |
Level 1
| | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
Level 2
| | Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
|
Level 3
| | Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
|
The available-for-sale investments for B2Gold and Focus are based on quoted prices and are therefore considered to be Level 1.
There were no transfers between Levels in the year.

Significant Investments Accounted For By the Equity Method
Medgold
On November 4, 2014, the Company acquired 3,000,000 common shares of Medgold by way of exercising 3,000,000 share purchase warrants at a cost of $330,000, bringing the Companys total holdings in Medgold to 8,000,000 common shares, representing an increase from 14.4% to 19.1% of Medgolds outstanding common shares. Upon this transaction, Medgold met the definition of an associate and therefore reclassified its holdings in Medgold from an available-for-sale investment to investment in associate and has been equity accounted for in the consolidated financial statements. As well as being the largest shareholder in Medgold, the Company also had two common directors as of December 31, 2014 and has common management members. As at December 31, 2014, the Company held 2,000,000 share purchase warrants of Medgold to purchase common shares of Medgold. Each Medgold warrant entitles the Company to purchase an additional common share exercisable for two years at a price of $0.15. The Medgold share purchase warrants are not tradable on an exchange.
The following table shows the continuity of the Companys interest in Medgold for the period from November 4, 2014 to December 31, 2014:

The Companys share of losses in Medgold during the year is only for the period from November 4, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
The financial statement balances of Medgold are as follows:

At December 31, 2014, the fair value of the 8,000,000 common shares of Medgold was $560,000.
Rackla
As at December 31, 2014, the Company held 9,866,376 common shares of Rackla, representing 19.5% of Racklas outstanding common shares. As at December 31, 2012, the Company held 8,521,038 share purchase warrants to purchase common shares of Rackla at $0.10 of which 7,175,700 of these warrants expired unexercised in 2013 and the remaining balance of 1,345,338 expired unexercised during the year ended December 31, 2014.
Rackla meets the definition of an associate and the Companys interest in Rackla has been equity accounted for in the consolidated financial statements.
The following table shows the continuity of the Companys interest in Rackla for the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014:
| |
Balance, December 31, 2012

|
Less: share of losses in associate
| (493,318)
|
Balance, December 31, 2013 and 2014
| $ 1
|
Since the Companys share of losses in Rackla exceeds its interest, the Company has discontinued recognizing its share of further losses. The accumulative unrecognized share of losses for the associate is $566,982.
The financial statement balances of Rackla are as follows:

Adoption of New and Amended IFRS Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the following new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB):
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
The amendments to IAS 24 clarify that a management entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, that provides key management services to a reporting entity, or its parent, is a related party of the reporting entity. The amendments also require an entity to disclose amounts incurred for key management personnel services provided by a separate management entity. This replaces the more detailed disclosure by category required for other key management personnel compensation. The amendments only affect disclosure and did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 21 Levies
The IASB issued IFRIC 21 Levies (IFRIC 21), an interpretation of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (IAS 37), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (Obligating Event). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the Obligating Event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. The adoption of IFRIC 21 did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentations (Amendment)
The amendments to IAS 32 pertained to the application guidance on the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities, focused on four main areas: the meaning of currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off, the application of simultaneous realization and settlement, the offsetting of collateral amounts and the unit of account for applying the offsetting requirements. The amendments did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Future Changes in Accounting Policies
The following new standard has been issued by the IASB but is not yet effective:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 is part of the IASB's wider project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. In response to delays to the completion of the remaining phases of the project, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and has indefinitely postponed the adoption of this standard. The amendments also provided relief from the requirement to restate comparative financial statements for the effects of applying IFRS 9. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard.
Risks and Uncertainties
Mineral Property Exploration and Mining Risks
The business of mineral deposit exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored ultimately become producing mines. At present, none of the Companys properties has a known commercial ore deposit. The main operating risks include: securing adequate funding to maintain and advance exploration properties; ensuring ownership of and access to mineral properties by confirmation that option agreements, claims and leases are in good standing; and obtaining permits for drilling and other exploration activities.
If the Company does not satisfactorily complete its contribution requirements to any joint ventures it may be a party to, the Companys interest in a joint venture can be diluted to a point where all interest in the joint venture is forfeited.
Joint Venture Funding Risk
The Companys strategy includes seeking partners through joint ventures to fund exploration and project development. The main risk of this strategy is that funding partners may not be able to raise sufficient capital in order to satisfy exploration and other expenditure terms in a particular joint venture agreement. As a result, exploration and development of one or more of the Companys property interests may be delayed depending on whether the Company can find another partner or has enough capital resources to fund the exploration and development on its own.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk. Declines in the market price of gold, base metals and other minerals may adversely affect the Companys ability to raise capital or attract joint venture partners in order to fund its ongoing operations. Commodity price declines could also reduce the amount the Company would receive on the disposition of one of its mineral properties to a third party.
Financing and Share Price Fluctuation Risks
The Company has no source of operating cash flow and has no assurance that additional funding will be available to it when needed for further exploration and development of its projects. Further exploration and development of one or more of the Companys projects may be dependent upon the Companys ability to obtain financing through equity or debt financing or other means. Failure to obtain this financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its projects which could result in the loss of one or more of its properties.
Securities markets have at times in the past experienced a high degree of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly those considered to be exploration stage companies such as the Company, have experienced wide fluctuations in share prices which have not necessarily been related to their operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects. There can be no assurance that these kinds of share price fluctuations will not occur in the future, and if they do occur, how severe the impact may be on the Companys ability to raise additional funds through equity issues or the value of the Companys available-for-sale investments and corresponding effect on the Companys financial position.
Political, Regulatory and Currency Risks
The Companys mineral properties are located in the United States and emerging nations. The mineral properties in emerging nations may be subject to a higher level of risk compared to developed countries. Operations, the status of mineral property rights, title to the properties and the recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties in emerging nations can be affected by changing economic, regulatory and political situations. The Companys equity financings are sourced in Canadian dollars but for the most part it incurs its expenditures in US dollars, Guatemalan quetzals, Nicaraguan córdobas, and Mexican pesos. At this time there are no currency hedges in place. Therefore a weakening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar, Guatemalan quetzal, Nicaraguan córdoba, or Mexican peso could have an adverse impact on the amount of exploration conducted.
Insured and Uninsured Risks
In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, the Company is subject to a number of hazards and risks in general, including adverse environmental conditions, operational accidents, labor disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to the Companys properties or facilities and equipment, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties of the Company or others, delays, monetary losses and possible legal liability.
Although the Company may maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers reasonable, its insurance may not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. The Company may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums or for other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate future profitability and result in increased costs, have a material adverse effect on the Companys results and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.
Environmental and Social Risks
The activities of the Company are subject to environmental regulations issued and enforced by government agencies. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement and involve increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There can be no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Companys operations. Environmental hazards may exist on properties in which the Company holds interests which are unknown to the Company at present. Social risks are fairly significant in some of the Companys areas of operations. Violence, kidnapping, theft and other criminal activities could disrupt supply chains and discourage qualified individuals from being involved with the Company's operations.
Competition
The Company will compete with many companies and individuals that have substantially greater financial and technical resources than the Company for the acquisition and development of its projects as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.
