Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements
As at October 31, 2024 and for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian dollars)
- Description of business and going concern
1844 Resources Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada on May 31, 2006 and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”). The principal business of the Corporation is the identification, exploration and development of mineral properties.
The address of the Corporation’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 602 – 224 4th Avenue South, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7K 5M5. These financial statements were approved by the Corporation’s board of directors on December 20, 2024.
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Corporation will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operation. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The use of these principles may not be appropriate.
To date, the Corporation has not earned significant revenue and is considered to be in the exploration and evaluation stage.
The investment in, and expenditures on, exploration and evaluation assets comprise a significant portion of the Corporation’s assets. Mineral exploration and development is highly speculative and involves inherent risks. Realization of the Corporation’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the renewed legal ownership of the claims and whether an economically viable operation can be established.
In addition, it has not yet been determined whether the Corporation’s properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore. While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.
As at October 31, 2024, the Corporation’s current cash resources are insufficient to cover the expected expenditures in fiscal 2025. The Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on being able to obtain the necessary financing to satisfy its liabilities as they become due. There can be no assurances that management will be successful in securing adequate financing.
The Corporation reported net losses in the six months ended October 31, 2024 and fiscal 2024 of $223,301 and $779,666 respectively, has an accumulated deficit of $15,915,732 (April 30, 2024 - $15,692,431) and has working capital deficiency of $900,270 (2024 – working capital deficiency of $676,969). These circumstances and the need for continued financing to further successful exploration may cast significant doubt as to the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The material accounting policy information used in the preparation of these annual financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities that might be necessary, if the Corporation is unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Material accounting policy information
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the IASB, has been omitted or condensed.
The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements as were followed in the preparation and described in Note 2 of the annual audited financial statements as at and for the year ended April 30, 2024. Accordingly, these condensed interim financial statements for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 should be read together with the annual financial statements as at and for the year ended April 30, 2024.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair value and are prepared and presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation’s functional currency. In addition, these financial statements are based on the accrual method of accounting, with the exception of cash flow information.
New and amended IFRS pronouncements
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss, in particular additional defined subtotals, disclosures about management-defined performance measures and new principles for aggregation of information. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. IFRS 18 is effective from January 1, 2027. Companies are permitted to apply IFRS 18 before that date.
The Company has performed an assessment of the new standards issued by the IASB that are not yet effective and has determined that any other standards that have been issued would have no or very minimal impact on the Company’s annual financial statements.

There can be no assurance the Corporation will be able to obtain the required financing in the future on acceptable terms.
Interest rate risk
