Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

(tabular amounts in 000’s)

1.	Nature of Business

Exeter Resource Corporation (“Exeter” or the “Company”) is an exploration stage company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada and together with its subsidiaries, it is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties located in the Americas.

The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties. The continued operation of the Company is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of such properties, and the profitable production from or disposition of such properties.

The Company has its primary listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on the NYSE-MKT. The Company’s head office is located at 1660 - 999 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 2W2.

2.	Basis of Preparation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), as applicable to interim financial reports including IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Accordingly, the accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in Note 4 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and note disclosure required by IFRS for annual financial statements, and therefore, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on August 12, 2016.

3. Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to and from related parties approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.

Fair value measurements are categorized within the following hierarchy:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

The marketable securities held by the Company are carried at fair value based on quoted prices in the active market (Level 1).

The Company has no other financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

5.	Mineral Properties - Acquisition and Mineral Property Costs

Acquisition Costs

Caspiche

By an agreement dated October 11, 2005 and subsequently amended, the Company acquired the right to review a number of properties in the Maricunga region of Chile. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company had the right to earn a 100% interest in the properties by incurring aggregate expenditures of US$2.55 million over five years including conducting 15,500 meters (“m”) of drilling with the vendor retaining a 3% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) in the properties.

Having met the requirements to earn its interest in the properties effective February 14, 2011 the Company exercised its option and acquired the properties. The vendor retains a 3% NSR from production from the property and has the right to buy the property back by reimbursing certain of the Company’s expenditures incurred on the property if it is not put into production within 15 years of exercising the option. In addition, the Company will be required to pay a further 0.08% NSR from production pursuant to an agreement with a private entity. The Company is required to make an advance annual royalty payment of US$250,000 up until March 31, 2020 (US$1,500,000 paid to June 30, 2016) and thereafter US$1 million annually for the period March 31, 2021 to March 31, 2025 or until commencement of commercial production, should production commence prior to March 31, 2025, at which time the advance royalty will cease and the NSR will be payable.

Water agreement

In January 2014, the Company’s Chilean subsidiary, Sociedad Contractual Minera Eton Chile (“Eton”), negotiated new water exploration agreement (“Water Agreement”) terms with the Chilean subsidiary of Canadian company Atacama Pacific Gold Corporation (“Atacama Pacific”). The new terms amend the original agreement entered into between the parties in May 2013. The Water Agreement allows Eton to earn an additional 40% interest, for an aggregate 90% interest, in any water rights granted following the discovery of water near Peñas Blancas (Laguna Verde) in the Maricunga region, northern Chile. To earn the additional 40% interest, Eton is required to incur an additional 40% (total of 90%) of all expenditures relating to exploration and potential development on the water tenements. In addition, in the event of approval of water rights by the General Directorate of Water Resources (“DGA”), Eton will assume Atacama Pacific’s obligation to pay Hydro Exploraciones SpA (“Hydro”), an Atacama Pacific affiliate, US$15,000 per litre per second (“l/s”) of DGA approved water rights. Atacama Pacific will remain obligated to pay Hydro US$15,000 per l/s on its 10% interest. Regardless of the total amount of DGA approved water acquired, payments to Hydro are capped at US$1 million. These payments are not applicable to Eton’s original 50% interest in any water rights acquired. In addition, Eton will pay US$5,000 per month to Hydro from the date of any application for water rights for assisting with securing such water rights. The aggregate of the monthly payments are deductible from any amount payable to Hydro for water rights acquired. In Q4 2015, the Company was granted a provisional easement over the area covering the water exploration holes.

5.	Mineral Properties - Acquisition and Mineral Property Costs (Continued)

Land easement

The Company has a lease agreement with the Chilean Government for the surface rights that correspond to its initial mineral rights in the area. On June 10, 2013 the Company announced that its application for surface rights at Caspiche had been granted by the Chilean Government; this easement extends this area to cover most of its additional tenements as well as areas that may be required for potential development of a mine at Caspiche. In order to maintain these rights, which are valid for 25 years, the Company is required to make total payments of 158,876 Unidades de Fomento (UF)*, an equivalent of approximately US$6.5 million of which US$3.0 million has been paid to June 30, 2016. Seven annual payments of approximately US$505,000 each remain payable.

* Unidad de Fomento (UF). This is a unit of account used in Chile. The exchange rate between the UF and the Chilean peso is constantly adjusted to inflation so that the value of the UF remains constant.

6.	Share Capital

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares.

7.	Stock Option Plan

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan (the “Plan”). On May 31, 2013, shareholders approved an amendment reducing the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable pursuant to options granted under the Plan, such that options granted under the Plan may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of the option grant. The renewal of the amended plan was approved by shareholders on June 7, 2016. At June 30, 2016, the maximum number of options issuable under the Plan was 8,848,275. Options granted under the Plan may have a maximum term of ten years, but options granted to date have had a life of 5 years.

Unless subsequently amended, the exercise price of options granted under the Plan will not be less than the last closing market price of the Company’s shares immediately preceding the grant date. Options granted under the Plan may be subject to vesting at times as determined by the directors of the Company and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Stock options usually vest in tranches over a period of 1 to 2 years (50 - 100% per year).

The following discussion is management’s assessment and analysis of the results and financial condition of Exeter and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Forward Looking Statements

This MD&A contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” (together, the “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward looking statements.

These forward-looking statements, principally under the heading “Outlook”, but also elsewhere in this document include estimates, forecasts and statements as to the Company’s belief with respect to, among other things, potential economics and development options for Caspiche as set out in the amended preliminary economic analysis study released December 19, 2014, the timing of its drilling, exploration programs and exploration results, objectives of and the completion of various studies, potential to secure adequate quantities of water and power, permitting, the Company’s ability to mitigate against foreign exchange risk, the ability of the Company to access capital to fund its activities, the ability of the Company to respond to market fluctuations and government regulations and the ability of the Company to demonstrate that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on its Caspiche project, and the merits of the legal challenge to the easement over surface rights at Caspiche granted by the Chilean government.

These forward-looking statements appear in a number of different places in this document and can be identified by words and phrases such as, but not limited to, “estimates”, “plans”, “is expected”, “objectives” or variations of such words or phrases, or statements that certain activities, events or results “may”, “would” or “could” occur. While the Company has based these forward-looking statements on its expectations about future events as at the date that this document was prepared, the statements are not a guarantee of the Company’s future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and the Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions should change except as required by law. Such factors and assumptions include, amongst others, the effects of general economic conditions; changing foreign exchange rates and actions by government authorities; uncertainties associated with negotiations; misjudgements in the course of preparing forward-looking statements; fluctuations in gold, copper, silver and other commodity prices and currency exchange rates; uncertainties relating to interpretation of drill results and the geology; continuity and grade of mineral deposits; uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs; price and availability of capital equipment; price of various other inputs such as fuel, electricity and reagents; recovery rates, production estimates and estimated economic return; the need for cooperation of government agencies and native groups in the exploration and development of properties and the issuance of required permits; the need to obtain additional financing to develop properties and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing; the possibility of delay in exploration or development programs or in construction projects and uncertainty of meeting anticipated program milestones; risks associated with project development, including risks associated with the failure to satisfy the requirements of the Company’s agreement with Anglo American on its Caspiche project which could result in loss of title; uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other governmental approvals, uncertainty of the outcome of the legal challenge to the grant by the Chilean government of the easement over surface rights, uncertainty regarding the potential to secure adequate water, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed under “Risks” below and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s current Annual Information Form, filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and other information released by it and filed with the appropriate regulatory agencies. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other risk factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from

those anticipated in such statements. For the reasons set forth above, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All statements are made as of the date of this MD&A and the Company is under no obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements except as required under applicable securities laws.

Cautionary note to U.S. Investors concerning reserve and resource estimates

This MD&A and other information released by Exeter have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (“CIM Standards”). These definitions differ from the definitions in SEC Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this MD&A contains descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Report on Operations

Second Quarter 2016

The Company continued its work on the Caspiche gold-copper project in the Maricunga region of Northern Chile in an effort to advance the project. The primary focus in 2016 is the advancement of programs related to securing water and investigating infrastructure requirements for the Caspiche project as well as the ongoing assessment of lower capital alternatives for the potential development of the project.

Caspiche represents one of the largest mineral discoveries made in Chile in recent years. The unique characteristics of the deposit, with its surface oxide gold zone and higher grade gold-copper core, offer future mining opportunities that range from modest scale oxide heap leach gold production, to larger scale open pit/underground mining of the underlying gold-copper zone.

An amended preliminary economic assessment (“2014 PEA”) for Caspiche released on December 19th, 2014 (with an effective date of April 30, 2014) identified three new potential development options focussed on lower throughputs and the higher grade core of the deposit. All three required lower Capex and would use lower quantities of water to support mining operations compared to previous studies. The 2014 PEA titled “Amended NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Caspiche Project, Atacama Region, Chile” dated December 19th, 2014 prepared by Santiago based engineering consultancies, NCL Ingeniería y Construcción and Alquimia Conceptos S.A. can be found at www.exeterresource.com or on SEDAR.

PROJECTS

CHILE

Caspiche Project

Northern Chile - Maricunga

In 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with Anglo American with respect to seven properties in the Maricunga region of Chile. The terms of the agreement provided for increasing annual drilling and exploration commitments over five years, and the phased reversion of five properties to Anglo American. Exeter satisfied its obligations under the agreement, having spent more than the required minimum of US$2.55 million, including completing more than 15,500 metres (“m”) of required drilling, and exercised its option to acquire a 100% interest in the Caspiche property in February 2011. Anglo American retains a 3% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) from production from the property and has the right to buy the property back by reimbursing certain of the Company’s expenditures incurred on the property if it is not put into production within 15 years from the date the Company exercised its option. In addition, the Company will be required to pay a further 0.08% NSR from production pursuant to an agreement with a private entity.

The Company is required to make an advance annual royalty payment of US$250,000 up until March 31, 2020 (US$1,500,000 paid to June 30, 2016) and thereafter US$1 million annually for the period March 31, 2021 to March 31, 2025 or until commencement of commercial production, should production commence prior to March 31, 2025, at which time the advance royalty will cease and the NSR will be payable.

The Caspiche project is located in a prolific region of gold-porphyry deposits, 15 kilometres (“km”) (10 miles) southeast of Kinross Gold’s Maricunga open pit mine (formerly known as the Refugio mine) and 11 km (7 miles) north of Barrick Gold – Kinross Gold’s Cerro Casale project.

Water agreement

Pacific affiliate, US$15,000 per litre per second (“l/s”) of DGA approved water rights. Atacama Pacific will remain obligated to pay Hydro US$15,000 per l/s on its 10% interest. Regardless of the total amount of DGA approved water acquired, payments to Hydro are capped at US$1 million. These payments are not applicable to Eton’s original 50% interest in any water rights acquired. In addition, Eton will pay US$5,000 per month to Hydro from the date of any application for water rights for assisting with securing such water rights. The aggregate of the monthly payments are deductible from any amount payable to Hydro for water rights acquired.

Land easement

The Company has a lease agreement with the Chilean Government for the surface rights that correspond to its initial mineral rights in the area and subsequent to June 30, 2016 the lease was renewed for a further 10 year period at an annual rate of approximately US$40,000. On June 10, 2013 the Company announced that its application for surface rights at Caspiche had been granted by the Chilean Government, this easement extends this area to cover most of its additional tenements as well as areas that may be required for potential development of a mine at Caspiche. In order to maintain these rights, which are valid for 25 years, the Company is required to make total payments of 158,876 Unidades de Fomento (UF)*, an equivalent of approximately US$6.5 million of which US$3.0 million has been paid to June 30, 2016. Seven annual payments of approximately US$505,000 each remain payable. Early in 2014, Eton Chile was served with a court claim challenging the Chilean Government’s grant of the Easement. The claim, filed before the Santiago Civil Court, was filed by a private Chilean mineral exploration company, Compañía Minera Cerro del Medio SCM (“SCM Cerro del Medio”). Under Chilean mining law there are provisions which provide for securing necessary surface access for the development of mineral deposits. SCM Cerro del Medio’s claim cites “non-compliance by the Chilean Government of certain legal formalities required to approve the easement” and “that the easement granted overlaps SCM Cerro del Medio’s Santa Cecilia project mining properties”. A review of the claim by Eton Chile’s Chilean legal counsel has concluded that SCM Cerro del Medio’s claim has no grounds under Chilean law and should be rejected.

Results from Operations

The Company began 2016 with 88,407,753 common shares outstanding and ended the second quarter with 88,482,753 common shares outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company received proceeds of $37,500 and issued 75,000 common shares upon the exercise of options.

Subsequent to June 30, 2016, the Company received proceeds of $77,500 and issued 155,000 common shares upon the exercise of options.

As at August 12, 2016 the Company had 88,637,753 shares outstanding.

Summary of Financial Results

Selected Information

The Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016 (the “Interim Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as applicable to interim financial reports including IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The following selected financial information is taken from the Interim Financial Statements.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

At June 30, 2016, the Company had $19.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, $2.7 million less than the $22.3 million that was held at December 31, 2015. The decrease relates to the Company utilizing its cash resources to fund ongoing project costs, mainly water exploration, and administrative requirements.

The Company currently has no revenue generating activities. Interest income of $106,000 was recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $160,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in 2016 was due to less cash in treasury as it was utilized in funding project expenditures and administrative activities.

Loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 was $3.2 million compared to $4.7 million in the same period of 2015.

Significant variances for expenses:

Mineral property expenditures: $2.0 million ($3.6 million in 2015) – The higher expenditure in 2015 was largely attributable to costs related to the completion of the water exploration drilling program at Peñas Blancas. Expenditures on drilling, field camp and IVA tax were cumulatively higher by approximately $1.3 million.

Administration salaries and consulting: $252,000 ($431,000 in 2015) – the higher amount in 2015 is mainly due to higher salary costs and the recording of a provision for staff terminations which are partially offset by higher stock based compensation in 2016.

Directors’ fees: $250,000 ($75,000 in 2015) – the change is mainly due to stock based compensation of approximately $197,000 recognized in 2016 due to the timing of grant and vesting of options which is partially offset by voluntary reductions of fees implemented in Q4 2015 of approximately $11,000.

Shareholder communications: $268,000 ($209,000 in 2015) - the higher amount in 2016 is due to increased marketing related activities.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

The Company ended its second quarter ended June 30, 2016 with $19.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and incurred approximately $868,000 in project expenditures during the period. Total expenses for the three months period ended June 2016 were $1.5 million ($1.8 million in 2015) including share-based compensation expense of $193,000 ($34,000 in 2015).

The loss in the three months ended June 30, 2016 of $1.4 million is $400,000 less than the loss of $1.8 million incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Significant variances for expenses:

Mineral property expenditures: $868,000 ($1.3 million in 2015) – the higher amount in 2015 is mainly related to costs required for the completion of the water exploration drilling program in Peñas Blancas. Expenditures for drilling and IVA tax in 2015 were higher by approximately $444,000.

Administration salaries and consulting: $113,000 ($262,000 in 2015) – the decrease in 2016 is mainly due to higher salary costs and the recording of a provision for staff termination in the 2015 period.

Directors’ fees: $108,000 ($37,000 in 2015) – the change is mainly attributable to share-based compensation of approximately $82,000 recognized in 2016 due to the timing of grant and vesting of options which is partially offset by voluntary reductions of fees implemented in Q4 2015 of approximately $11,000.

Shareholder communications: $145,000 ($82,000 in 2015) – the 2016 amount is higher mainly due to an increase in marketing related activities.

The following is a summary of continuing operations results from the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

Three month period ended June 30, (in thousands)	2016		2015
Interest income	$	50	$	72
Mineral property costs	$	868	$	1,290
Share-based compensation 1	$	193	$	34
Loss	$	1,419	$	1,772
Basic and diluted loss per common share	$	0.02	$	0.02

share-based compensation costs have been allocated to administrative salaries and consulting, management fees, directors’ fees and mineral property expenditures.


As at (in thousands)	June 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Total assets	$	19,967		$	22,543
Total liabilities	$	348		$	331
Share capital	$	246,134		$	246,089
Deficit	$	(272,750	)	$	(269,556	)

The following selected financial information is a summary of the eight most recently completed quarters up to June 30, 2016.

Comparison to Prior Quarterly Periods

	2016				2015								2014
($000’s, except share data)	2nd Quarter		1st Quarter		4th Quarter		3rd Quarter		2nd Quarter		1st Quarter		4th Quarter		3rd Quarter
Total Revenues		-		-		-		-		-		-		-		-
Net loss		1,419		1,775		2,373		1,805		1,772		2,947		3,563		1,646
Basic and diluted loss per common share	$	0.02	$	0.02	$	0.03	$	0.02	$	0.02	$	0.03	$	0.04	$	0.02

The lower loss in Q2 2016 compared to the previous quarter is mainly the result of the payment of the annual advanced royalty of US$250,000 and stock exchange filing fees incurred in Q1 of approximately $101,000. The decrease in the loss in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the previous quarter was mainly due to higher project expenditures and the annual land easement payment incurred in Q4 2015. The loss in Q4 2015 is higher than the previous quarter mainly due to the annual payment for the land easement at Caspiche of approximately $643,000. The increase in the loss of the third quarter in 2015 compared to the previous quarter is mainly due to higher share based compensation recognized in Q3 which is partially offset by lower project expenditures incurred in the same period. The decrease in the loss in the second quarter 2015 compared to the previous quarter was mainly due to lower project expenditures in Q2 due to the completion of the water exploration program early in Q2, exchange filing fees of approximately $122,000 and the payment of the annual advance royalty of US$250,000 incurred in Q1.The decrease in the loss in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the previous quarter was mainly due to higher exploration expenditures, mostly water exploration, and the annual land easement payment incurred in Q4 2014. The increase in the loss in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the previous quarter of that year was related to the water drilling program at Peñas Blancas which was conducted during the Chilean summer with exploration activities curtailed in winter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2016 totalled $19.6 million compared to $22.3 million at December 31, 2015, a decrease of about $2.7 million. The Company continues to utilize its cash resources to fund project expenditures and administrative requirements. Aside from cash and cash equivalents, the Company has no material liquid assets. While the Company has successfully raised funds through past capital financings, there are no guarantees that such sources of funds will be available in the future.

Management continues to evaluate and adjust its planned level of activities to ensure that adequate levels of working capital are maintained. The availability of funding will affect the planned activity levels at the Caspiche project and expenditures will be adjusted to match available funding.

Currently, the Company intends to continue to fund the exploration and development of its properties, with specific focus on Caspiche, and for general working capital purposes.

The Company has no loans or bank debt and there are no restrictions on the use of its cash resources. The Company has not issued any dividends and management does not expect this will change in the near future.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s activities potentially expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, foreign exchange currency risk, liquidity and interest rate risk.

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument, will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company deposits the majority of its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions in Canada and holds balances in banks in Chile as required to meet current expenditures. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to and from related parties approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company operates in Canada and Chile, and it is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in several currencies (mainly Canadian Dollars, Chilean Pesos, US Dollars and Australian Dollars). Foreign currency balances which are held in the Canadian parent are subject to fluctuation against the Canadian Dollar. Foreign currency balances which are held in the Chilean subsidiary are subject to fluctuation against the Chilean Peso.

The Canadian parent company had the following balances in foreign currencies as at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

2016 (in thousands)
	US Dollars			Australian Dollars
Cash and cash equivalents		207			-
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(50	)		(18	)
Net balance		157			(18	)
Equivalent in Canadian Dollars		203			(17	)
Rate to convert to $ CDN		1.2917			0.967

2015 (in thousands)
	US Dollars			Australian Dollars
Cash and cash equivalents		90			-
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(27	)		(16	)
Net balance		63			(16	)
Equivalent in Canadian Dollars		87			(16	)
Rate to convert to $ CDN		1.3840			1.0083

Based on the above net exposures as at June 30, 2016, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the US dollar and Australian dollar against the Canadian dollar would result in an increase/decrease of $20,300 and $1,700 respectively (2015 - $8,700 and $1,600 respectively) in the Company’s net loss.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s interest rate risk mainly arises from the interest rate impact on the cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents earn interest based on current market interest rates, which at June 30, 2016 ranged between 0.90% and 1.20%.

Based on the amount of cash and cash equivalents held at June 30, 2016, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 0.5% change in the applicable interest rate would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $98,000 in the interest earned by the Company per annum.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. The Company had cash at June 30, 2016 in the amount of approximately $19.6 million in order to meet short-term business requirements. At June 30, 2016, the Company had current liabilities of approximately $348,000 which are due on demand or within 30 days.

Contractual Obligations

The Company leases offices in Canada and Chile and has expenditure, option payment, land easement payments and advance royalty obligations related to its properties. Option payments and property expenditure obligations are contingent on exploration results and can be cancelled at any time should exploration results so warrant. Other financial commitments are summarized in the table below:

Outlook

The Company will continue to optimize Caspiche development options and importantly investigate infrastructure alternatives that could enhance project economics. The intention is to continue the process of de-risking the project such that it stands out, as one of the few projects with the potential to be advanced rapidly.

The 2014 PEA reflects the staged development potential at Caspiche with initial development of an open pit mine focussed on the near-surface, gold only oxide zone followed by further open pit or underground development. The preliminary economics and modest capital requirements, demonstrate that advancing the standalone surface oxide gold zone through to a production decision, is a logical potential development option for Caspiche.

With the staged development potential at Caspiche, the Company continues to focus on identifying, evaluating and securing water sources to support the heap leach oxide gold stage and the follow-on gold – copper sulphide stage of a potential mine development.

Additional steps also include planning for and commencing a detailed scientific and environmental program using experienced consultants. The objective of this next program will be to accurately model the zone for potential mine development, its interactions with adjacent areas, consult on possible uses with other stakeholders and communities as a basis for future development plans.

A secondary focus for Exeter is to actively review corporate opportunities with the possibility of acquiring assets that will provide additional value for shareholders. In particular, the Company is focusing on securing assets/projects in the America’s. The Company remains committed to prudently managing its capital, while seeking to maximize shareholder value.
