New Jersey Mining Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of New Jersey Mining Company (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021.

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture (“NJMJV”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The portion of entities owned by other investors is presented as non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Gold Revenue Recognition and Receivables-Sales of gold sold directly to customers are recorded as revenues and receivables upon completion of the performance obligations and transfer of control of the product to the customer. For concentrate sales, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price can be reasonably estimated, and revenue is recognized generally at the time of shipment at estimated forward prices for the anticipated month of settlement. Due to the time elapsed from shipment to the customer and the final settlement with the customer, prices at which sales of our concentrates will be settled are estimated. Previously recorded sales and accounts receivable are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the customer. For sales of dore’ and metals from doré, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price is known, and revenue is recognized at the time of transfer of control of the agreed-upon metal quantities to the customer by the refiner.

Sales and accounts receivable for concentrate shipments are recorded net of charges by the customer for treatment, refining, smelting losses, and other charges negotiated with the customers. Charges are estimated upon shipment of concentrates based on contractual terms, and actual charges typically do not vary materially from estimates. Costs charged by customers include fixed costs per ton of concentrate and price escalators. Refining, selling and shipping costs related to sales of doré and metals from doré are recorded to cost of sales as incurred. See Note 4 for more information on our sales of products.

Other Revenue Recognition-Revenue from harvest of raw timber is recognized when the performance obligation under a contract and transfer of control of the timber have both been completed. Sales of timber found on the Company’s mineral properties are not a part of normal operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of full cost of production or estimated net realizable value based on current metal prices. Costs consist of mining, transportation, and milling costs including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to the operations. Costs are allocated based on the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Supplies inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value.

New Jersey Mining Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Mine Exploration and Development Costs

The Company expenses exploration costs as such in the period they occur. The mine development stage begins once the Company identifies ore reserves which is based on a determination whether an ore body can be economically developed. Expenditures incurred during the development stage are capitalized as deferred development costs and include such costs for drift, ramps and infrastructure. Costs to improve, alter, or rehabilitate primary development assets which appreciably extend the life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency or safety of such assets are also capitalized. The development stage ends when the production stage of ore reserves (as defined by the SEC) begins. Amortization of deferred development costs is calculated using the units-of-production method over the expected life of the operation based on the estimated recoverable mineral ounces.

Fair Value Measurements

When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period that are included in earnings are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date. At September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had no assets or liabilities that required measurement at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in equity securities are generally measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for equity securities resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. If an equity security does not have a readily determinable fair value, we may elect to measure the security at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment in the same issuer. At the end of each reporting period, we reassess whether an equity investment security without a readily determinable fair value qualifies to be measured at cost less impairment, consider whether impairment indicators exist to evaluate if an equity investment security is impaired and, if so, record an impairment loss. At the end of each reporting period, unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. Upon sale of an equity security, the realized gain or loss is recognized in current earnings.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 financial statement presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss), stockholders’ equity, or cash flows as previously reported.

New Accounting Pronouncement

Accounting Standards Updates Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update contains a number of provisions intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The update was adopted as of January 1, 2021, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years and with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

2.Going Concern

The Company is currently producing from both the open-pit and underground at the Golden Chest Mine. In the past, the Company has been successful in raising required capital from sale of common stock, forward gold contracts, and debt. As a result of its planned production, equity sales and potential debt borrowings or restructurings, management believes cash flows from operations and existing cash are sufficient to conduct planned operations and meet contractual obligations for the next 12 months.

3. Inventories

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s inventories consisted of the following:

		September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Concentrate inventory
In process	$	58,847	$	90,743
Finished goods		104,803		230,318
Total concentrate inventory		163,650		321,061

Supplies inventory
Mine parts and supplies		56,648		52,600
Mill parts and supplies		35,808		28,876
Total supplies inventory		92,456		81,476

Total	$	256,106	$	402,537

The carrying value of inventory is determined each period based on the lower of cost or net realizable value. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 gold concentrate is carried at cost.

4. Sales of Products

Our products consist of both gold flotation concentrates which we sell to a single broker (H&H Metal), and an unrefined gold-silver product known as doré which we sell to a precious metal refinery.

Thus, the venture is included in the consolidated financial statements along with presentation of the non-controlling interest. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, an account receivable existed with Crescent Silver, LLC, the other joint venture participant (“Crescent”), for $1,641 and $4,177, respectively, for shared operating costs as defined in the JV agreement.

Butte Highlands JV, LLC (“BHJV”)

On January 29, 2016, the Company purchased a 50% interest in Butte Highlands JV, LLC (“BHJV”) from Timberline Resources Corporation for $225,000 in cash and 3,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $210,000 for a total consideration of $435,000. Highland Mining, LLC (“Highland”) is the other 50% owner and manager of the joint venture. Under the agreement, Highland will fund all future project exploration and mine development costs. The agreement stipulates that Highland is manager of BHJV and will manage BHJV until such time as all mine development costs, less $2 million are distributed to Highland out of the proceeds from future mine production. The Company has determined that because it does not currently have significant influence over the joint venture’s activities, it accounts for its investment on a cost basis.

7.Earnings per Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net amount excluding net income (loss) attributable to a non-controlling interest by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities. Such common stock equivalents are included or excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share for each period as follows:

	September 30, 2021				September 30, 2020
	Three Months		Nine Months		Three Months		Nine Months

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Plan of Operation

New Jersey Mining Company is a gold producer focused on diversifying and building its asset base and cash flows through a portfolio of mineral properties located in historic producing gold districts in Idaho and Montana.

The Company’s plan of operation is to generate positive cash flow, while reducing debt and growing its production and asset base over time while being mindful of corporate overhead. The Company’s management is focused on utilizing its in-house skills to build a portfolio of producing mines and milling operations with a primary focus on gold and secondary focus on silver and base metals.

The Company’s properties include: the Golden Chest Mine (currently in production), the New Jersey Mill (majority ownership interest), and a 50% carried to production interest in the past producing Butte Highlands Mine located in Montana. In addition to its producing and near-term production projects, New Jersey Mining Company has additional exploration prospects, including the McKinley-Monarch and Eastern Star located in Central Idaho, and additional holdings near the Golden Chest in the Murray Gold Belt including the 876 acres of patented claims in Alder Gulch purchased in the first quarter of 2020 and 2021. In early 2020, the Company added the Roberts and Diamond Creek rare earth element properties in Idaho. Both properties are listed as belonging to the national inventory as recognized by the USGS and other agency reports. If a large economic deposit of rare earth elements becomes a reality on either of these properties, they could become an important source of critical minerals for the United States. The Company added these projects to its portfolio of exploration properties to diversify its holdings and build potential shareholder value from the anticipated demand for these elements in the electrification of motorized vehicles, permanent magnets, and other products focused on a low-carbon and “green” future.

COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Response and Impact

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus global pandemic ("COVID-19") in early 2020, in March 2020 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control issued guidelines to mitigate the spread and health consequences of COVID-19. The Company implemented changes to its operations and business practices to follow the guidelines and minimize physical interaction, including using technology to allow employees to work from home when possible and altering production procedures and schedules, asset maintenance, and limiting discretionary spending. As long as they are required, the operational practices implemented could have an adverse impact on our operating results due to deferred production and revenues or additional costs. The negative impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain, including on overall business and market conditions. There is uncertainty related to the potential additional impacts COVID-19 could have on our operations and financial results for the year.

Highlights during the third quarter of 2021 include:

·At the Golden Chest, ore mined from underground stopes totaled approximately 6,310 tonnes of which about one-half was from the 833 stope and the remainder from the 824 stope. Development waste tonnage totaled 3,160 tonnes as the Main Access Ramp (MAR) was extended at depth. A second ventilation and escapeway raise was partially completed by the Company’s in-house mining crews during the quarter. During the quarter, operations were temporarily halted due to a rock fall and injury to one miner working in the 833N stope. Access to the 833N stope was restricted for two weeks, but access to the rest of the mine was permitted. This and a temporary road closure due to area forest fires also impacted operations during the 3rd quarter.

·Open pit mining progressed from the 1017 bench to the 1011 bench as production averaged 1,180 tonnes per day. Mining continued through the Klondike area as historic stopes were encountered that reduced the ore tonnage modeled.

·For the quarter ended September 30, 2021 a total of 12,554 dry metric tonnes (dmt) were processed at the Company’s New Jersey mill with a flotation feed head grade of 3.22 gpt with gold recovery of 87.8%

·The Company drilled 1,416 meters during the quarter and released core drilling results from the Joe Dandy area of the Golden Chest mine which is on the southern end of the property. The intercepts are summarized below:

oGC 21-194 intercepted 0.5 meters of 7.8 gpt gold in the upper vein and 0.4 meters of 4.6 gpt gold in the lower vein.

oGC 21-195 intercepted 0.5 meters of 3.8 gpt gold in the upper vein and 0.4 meters of 2.9 gpt gold in the lower vein.

oGC 21-196 intercepted 0.6 meters of 8.3 gpt gold in the upper vein and 1.7 meters of 2.7 gpt gold in the lower vein.

oGC 21-197 intercepted 2.56 meters of 10.98 gpt gold (including 0.94 meters of 28.7 gpt gold) in the upper vein and 0.53 meters of 2.60 gpt gold in the lower vein.

·The Company released core drilling results from the Klondike area of the Golden Chest mine which is located on the northern end of the property, and the intercepts are summarized below.

oGC 21-203 intercepted 1.8 meters of 14.4 gpt gold (including 0.8 meters of 31.8 gpt gold).

oGC 21-204 intercepted 7.5 meters of 5.2 gpt gold (including 3.3 meters of 9.4 gpt gold) in the upper vein and 3.4 meters of 12.2 gpt gold (including 1.1 meters of 34.1 gpt gold) in the lower vein.

oGC 21-205 intercepted multiple zones of gold mineralization summarized below:

o1.4 meters of 12.2 gpt gold from 117.9 to 118.9 m.

o1.1 meters of 6.4 gpt gold from 126.4 to 127.5 m.

o2.3 meters of 15.5 gpt gold from 165.0 to 167.3 m (including 0.5 meters of 35.4 gpt gold and 0.1 meter of 138 gpt gold).

o7.6 meters of 1.9 gpt gold from 175.2 to 186.3 m (including 1.3 meters of 6.9 gpt gold).

o1.8 meters of 3.8 gpt gold from 207.9 to 209.7 m.

o6.0 meters of 3.1 gpt gold from 225.21 to 231.2 m (including 3.1 meters of 5.4 gpt gold).

o1.5 meters of 3.3 gpt gold from 233.5 to 235.0 m.

o3 meters of 7.8 gpt gold from 246.6 to 247.9 m.

·The Company’s Roberts and Diamond Creek Rare Earth Element projects were included in the Earth MRI program overseen by the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) and conducted by the Idaho Geologic Survey (IGS). Additional groundwork was completed at Diamond Creek, including advancing the plan of operations for a 10-hole drill program. Furthermore, it is anticipated that core samples from this drill program are to be included in future partnership discussions with the IGS and University of Idaho, with an eye toward further drilling, extraction, separation, and processing of REE’s in Idaho.

Results of Operations

Our financial performance during the quarter is summarized below:

·The Company had a gross profit of $278,010 and $568,855 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 compared to a gross loss of $107,237 and gross profit of $24,033 for the comparable periods in 2020. Gross profit increased primarily because of improved grade of mineralized material being mined and processed and increased production.

·Cash costs per ounce decreased for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, to $1,256.75 and $1,296.27 per ounce compared to $1,855.58 and $1,372.68, respectively, per ounce in 2020 because of increased grade of mineralized material being mined and processed in the periods and increased production. AISC per ounce decreased to $1,592.34 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to $2,368.21 for the comparable period in 2020 as a result of increased grade of mineralized material being mined and processed in the periods and increased production. AISC per ounce increased to $1,741.66 per ounce for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to $1,628.91 for the comparable period in 2020 due to additional exploration core drilling completed by an outside drill contractor in the first quarter of 2021.

·Revenue was $2,098,849 and $5,865,708 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 compared to $1,556,070 and $4,281,401 for the comparable periods of 2020. The increase was a result of a higher average gold grade and increased production in 2021 compared to 2020.

·An operating loss of $219,345 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to operating income of $10,707 in the comparable period of 2020. This was a result of increased exploration spending for the three months ended September 30, 2021. An operating loss of $1,975,020 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to operating loss of $315,774 in the comparable period of 2020. The increased loss for the nine-month period in 2021 was mostly a result of increased core drilling and expense for stock options granted in the first quarter of 2021.

·Net loss of $237,671 and $2,040,843 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 compared to net loss of $7,327 and $382,028 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020. the reasons for these changes are the same as those for the operating loss described above.

·Exploration costs increased in 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of contract core drilling that the Company had done in the first quarter of 2021 and additional core drilling completed by the Company’s drill in 2021. A total of 3,500 meters of core drilling was completed by a contractor in the first quarter of 2021.

·Management, professional services, and general and administrative expenses increased in the nine-month period ended September 21, 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of options being granted to management, directors, and employees for a total cost of $604,572.

·Timber revenue decreased in 2021. In 2020 more sales of timber at the Company’s Potosi property were realized.

·The consolidated net loss for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 included non-cash charges as follows: depreciation and amortization of $595,227 ($425,641 in 2020), write off of equipment of $0 in 2021 ($9,537 in 2020), adjustment on inventory to net realizable value of $0 in 2021 ($32,098 in 2020), accretion of asset retirement obligation of $7,476 ($7,170 in 2020), stock-based compensation of $614,431 in 2021 ($0 in 2020) , and the issuance of common stock for services $6,500 in 2021 ($0 in 2020).

Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs Reconciliation to GAAP-Reconciliation of cost of sales and other direct production costs and depreciation, depletion and amortization (GAAP) to cash cost per ounce and all-in sustaining costs (AISC) per ounce (non-GAAP).

The table below presents reconciliations between the most comparable GAAP measure of cost of sales and other direct production costs and depreciation, depletion and amortization to the non-GAAP measures of cash cost per ounce and all in sustaining costs per ounce for the Company’s gold production in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Cash cost per ounce is an important operating measure that we utilize to measure operating performance. AISC per ounce is an important measure that we utilize to assess net cash flow after costs for pre-development, exploration, reclamation, and sustaining capital. Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of goods sold do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop, and sustain gold production.
