SUMMARY OF FILING STATEMENT
The following is a summary of information relating to Altina, Aeonian and the Resulting Issuer (assuming Completion of the Qualifying Transaction) and should be read together with the more detailed information and financial data and statements contained elsewhere in this Filing Statement.

The Common Shares were first listed for trading on the TSXV under the symbol “ALTN.P” on September 21, 2020. Altina is a CPC pursuant to the CPC Policy, and since its incorporation it has not carried on any business or operations other than the identifying and evaluating business opportunities for the purposes of completing a Qualifying Transaction.

Altina Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altina, was incorporated on March 26, 2024 under the BCBCA for the purposes of the Amalgamation. The full corporate name of Altina Sub is 1472748 B.C. Ltd. The registered office of Altina Sub is located at Suite 401 – 353 Water Street, Vancouver BC, V6B 1B8, Canada.

THE QUALIFYING TRANSACTION
The Resulting Issuer
Upon Completion of the Qualifying Transaction and subject to the approval of the TSXV, it is expected that the Resulting Issuer will be listed on the TSXV as a Tier 2 Issuer (as such term is defined in the Corporate Finance Manual of the TSXV). The Resulting Issuer will maintain its registered office at 6th Floor, 905 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1L6. The head office of the Resulting Issuer will be located at 1000 - 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, Altina has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding Aeonian Shares in exchange for Resulting Issuer Shares on a 1:1 basis. Assuming no Aeonian Warrant holders exercise such warrants prior to the Amalgamation Closing, Altina will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Aeonian Shares in exchange for the issuance of 25,202,100 Resulting Issuer Shares.
Additionally, upon closing of the Amalgamation, all of the outstanding Aeonian Warrants will, upon their terms, become exercisable into Resulting Issuer Shares on a one-for-one basis. Assuming none of the issued and outstanding Aeonian Warrants as at the date of this Filing Statement are exercised prior to the Effective Time, such Aeonian Warrants will become exercisable into 13,840,500 Resulting Issuer Shares. The below paragraphs summarize such warrants:
- 2,500,000 Aeonian Warrants, each of which will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share until September 1, 2026 at an exercise price of $0.07 per share;
- 10,607,000 Aeonian Warrants, each of which will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share for a period of two years from the Completion Date, and at an exercise price of $0.10 per
share until the first anniversary of the Completion Date, and at an exercise price of $0.25 per share until the second anniversary of the Completion Date;
- 70,000 Aeonian Warrants, each of which will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of $0.12 per share for a period of one year from the Completion Date;
- 650,000 Aeonian Warrants, each of which will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of $0.15 per share until the date that is twenty-four (24) months from the Listing Date; and
- 13,500 Aeonian Warrants, each of which will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of $0.14 per share until the date that is twenty-four (24) months from the Listing Date.
Assuming the completion of the Concurrent Financing and that no Aeonian Warrants are exercised prior to the Effective Time, following the Amalgamation it is expected that there will be 40,912,100 Resulting Issuer Shares, 13,840,500 Aeonian Warrants exercisable into Resulting Issuer Shares, 7,855,000 Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrants, and 800,000 Resulting Issuer Options issued and outstanding.
On an undiluted basis, it is expected that the former Aeonian Shareholders will own approximately 61.6% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares, subscribers in the Altina Financing will hold approximately 18.8% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares, current Altina Shareholders will hold approximately 19.6% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares.
The Transaction will constitute a Qualifying Transaction under the policies of the TSXV. Upon Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, Altina will be the Resulting Issuer and carry on the business of Aeonian under the name "Aeonian Resources Corp." or such other name as may be agreed to by the parties and approved by the TSXV.

PART II – INFORMATION CONCERNING AEONIAN
Corporate Structure
Aeonian was formed on September 15, 2020 under the BCBCA. The registered office of Aeonian is located at 6th Floor, 905 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1L6 and the head office of Aeonian is located at 1000 - 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Intercorporate Relationships
As of the date of this Filing Statement, Aeonian does not have any subsidiaries.
General Development and Description of the Business
Aeonian is engaged in the business of mineral exploration and development in Canada and its objective is to explore and, if warranted, develop the Property. It is the intention of Aeonian to remain in the mineral exploration business. Should the Property not be deemed viable, Aeonian shall explore opportunities to acquire interests in other properties.
Aeonian holds a 100% interest in the 38 mining claims totaling approximately 28,743.82 hectares comprising the Property. The Property is located about 30 kilometers southeast of Cranbrook, British Columbia. The Property comprises claims staked by Aeonian and Strata Geodata Services Ltd. (“SGDS Hive”) as well as the three claims covering 3,019 hectares comprising the Gilnockie Property. Where claims were staked by SGDS Hive, the claims were subsequently transferred to Aeonian and SGDS Hive was reimbursed for its staking costs by Aeonian. See “The Koocanusa Property”.
Stated Business Objectives
The Property is in the exploration stage. Aeonian intends to use its available funds to carry out the Phase One exploration program for the Property, which is budgeted for $204,380. See “The Koocanusa Property - Recommendations” and “Use of Proceeds”.
The exploration, and if warranted, development of the Property may depend on specialized skills and knowledge possessed by directors and officers of Aeonian that are applicable to the mining industry. Aeonian’s leadership team is composed of the following: (i) Andrew Randell – Chief Executive Officer and a Director; (ii) Branden Haynes – a President and a Director; (iii) Mark Luchinski – Corporate Secretary and a Director; and (iv) Kristian Whitehead – a Director.
The mineral exploration and development industry is very competitive.
Aeonian is subject to numerous competitive conditions such as need for additional capital and the commercial viability of the Property.

1398-6722-9450, v. 43
whole warrant being exercisable to acquire one (1) additional Aeonian Share at an exercise price of $0.15 until the date that is twenty-four (24) months from the Listing Date. Aeonian paid finder's fees of $1,350 and issued 13,500 Aeonian Warrants to finders who introduced investors to Aeonian in connection with the Aeonian Financing, each such Aeonian Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one Aeonian Share for $0.14 until the date that is twenty-four (24) months from the Listing Date.
To date, funds raised from these private placements have been used towards the acquisition of an interest in the Property, exploration work undertaken by the Aeonian at the Property, filing fees, professional expenses, regulatory expenses and for general working capital.
Aeonian has also completed the certain exploration activities on the Property (see "The Koocanusa Property – Exploration") since the Property was staked. In August 2020, Aeonian visited the Property, focusing on the known MINFILE occurrences. This was followed up in October 2020 with lithological mapping and sampling across the Property to better constrain the geological setting of the Property and identify additional areas for further work. In June 2021, Aeonian carried out a four-day program of lithological mapping, grab sampling, soil sampling, and ground geophysical surveying along the Koo Trend. In May 2023, a UAV magnetic survey was carried out over six different grids on the Property.
Trends
There are significant uncertainties regarding the prices of minerals and the availability of equity financing for the purposes of mineral exploration and development. For instance, the price of gold, silver and other minerals has fluctuated widely in recent years and these fluctuations are expected to continue. Apart from this risk, and the risk factors noted under the heading "Risk Factors" we are not aware of any other trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Koocanusa Property
The technical information in this Prospectus with respect to the Property is derived from the Technical Report, dated effective November 20, 2024, prepared for Aeonian and Altina in accordance with NI 43-101 by the Author. The Author is an independent Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101. The full text of the Technical Report is available for review at the registered office of Aeonian at 6th Floor – 905 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1L6, and is available online under Altina's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
Property Description and Location
The Koocanusa Property consists of 38 mining claims covering an area of 28,743.82 hectares (287.44 km²) land located in the East Kootenay Region, British Columbia Canada (Figures 1 and 2). The Koocanusa Property claims are located about 30 km southeast of Cranbrook, British Columbia, and has good year-round access via gravel forestry roads. The Property is located between (UTM Zone 11N – NAD 1983) coordinates 0584500E to 0616000E; and 5430000N to 5456000N; is centered at approximate coordinates: 0595000E 5450000N.
Aeonian currently holds a 100% interest in and to the Property (MTO Client Number: 287961). There are no royalties, back-in rights, payments, or other agreements or encumbrances to which the Property is subject. Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, 1472 will amalgamate with Aeonian and continue as one corporation wholly-owned by Altina. Each issued and outstanding Aeonian share upon the closing of the Amalgamation shall be exchanged for one fully paid and non-assessable share in the capital of Altina, as constituted following said Amalgamation. Such transaction will constitute Altina's "qualifying transaction", as defined under Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (see Altina's news release dated April 2, 2024, posted on SEDAR+). The Property mineral claims were staked using the British Columbia MTO website. With the British Columbia mineral claim staking system there can be no internal fractions or open ground. The Author undertook a search of the tenure data on the British Columbia government's MTO website which
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
confirms the geospatial locations of the claims boundaries title information provided by Aeonian. There were no historical Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates given.
The Mineral Tenure Act Regulation in British Columbia describe registering exploration and development for a mineral claim. The value of exploration and development required to maintain a mineral claim for one year is provided below:
Mineral Claim - Work Requirement:
- $5 per hectare for anniversary years 1 and 2;
- $10 per hectare for anniversary years 3 and 4;
- $15 per hectare for anniversary years 5 and 6; and
- $20 per hectare for subsequent anniversary years
The other option is payment in lieu of work which is double the amount mentioned in the above schedule. The claims expiry dates are shown in Table 1, annual work requirements to keep these claims in good standing are approximately $143,719.10 for years 1 and 2, which will be doubled during years 3 and 4.
Mineral rights in British Columbia do not include surface rights. The surface rights on the Koocanusa Property are held by the Crown and a "Notice of Work and Reclamation Program" permit is required for drilling, trenching, setting up a camp and other intrusive work. There are no known environmental liabilities and no permits have been applied for or acquired for the Property. Uranium and thorium exploration is not allowed in British Columbia. No permits are required to carry out the recommended phase 1 work program on the Property. There are no other known risks that may affect access, title or right to perform work on the Property. The Claim data is summarized in Table 1, and maps showing the claims are presented in Figures 1 and 2.

Environmental Concerns
There is no historical production from mineralized zones on the Property, and the author is not aware of any environmental liabilities which have accrued from historical exploration activity. The area which makes up the property is situated on Crown Land and the mineral claims are within the jurisdiction of the British Columbia
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
Government. Should Aeonian/Altina apply for a Notice of Work permit application they will require First Nations engagement. The Property sits within the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation which extends from the Kootenay River through portions of British Columbia, Alberta, Montana, Idaho, and Washington.
Access, Climate, Physiography, Local Resources, and Infrastructure
Access
The Koocanusa Property has good year-round access from Cranbrook, British Columbia, via the main Gold Creek and Tepee Creek gravel forest roads. Southeastern parts of the Property can also be accessed via BC 93 and the Kikomun Newgate and Linklater Forest service roads. The southwestern portion of the Property has access via Wickman Creek forest service road. Smaller temporary logging roads provide additional access to various sections of the property via 4wd truck or ATV.
Climate
The Project area lies within a region of humid continental climate. Daily average temperatures range from $-7.2^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ in December to $18.7^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ in July (Figure 3). The average annual precipitation is $280\mathrm{mm}$ of rainfall and $125\mathrm{cm}$ of snow. Snowfall is the primary form of precipitation in the winter (November to March), with a median snow depth of $16\mathrm{cm}$ in January. Ground exploration such as prospecting, mapping and sampling can be carried out between May to October while geophysical surveys and drilling can be done year-round with snow ploughing on forestry roads.

Figure 3: Climate Data from Cranbrook Airport (Environment Canada)
Physiography
The Property ranges in elevation from about $800\mathrm{m}$ to $2,000\mathrm{m}$ above sea level and lies within the McGillivary Range of the Purcell Mountains. The topography could be considered moderate with a variety of creeks, including Teepee and Cavan, feeding east into Gold Creek which then flows southeast through the Project area and into Lake Koocanusa which is created by a dam on the Kootenay River south in Montana. The majority of the Project area has been logged and is in various stages of re-growth. Ponderosa pine exists in areas below $900\mathrm{m}$ elevation. Douglas-fir, as well as western Larch and Lodgepole Pine, become abundant at higher elevations.
Traversing areas away from the logging roads on foot seems reasonable for geological mapping, soil sampling, and conducting ground geophysics.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
Local Resources and Infrastructure
The city of Cranbrook, B.C., had a recorded population of just over 20,000 (Statistics Canada Census, 2016). Cranbrook is the largest urban centre in southeastern British Columbia, with 4.9% of the workforce engaged in the “mining, quarrying and oil and gas sector” and 18.8% of the workforce list their occupation as “trades, transport and equipment operators and related occupations” (Statistics Canada Census, 2016). The Canadian Rockies International Airport is located 10km north of Cranbrook and has daily flights to Vancouver and Calgary. The Crowsnest Highway (B.C. Highway 3) passes through Cranbrook as runs east-west through southern British Columbia, from Hope, B.C., to the Alberta border. A second north-south highway system (B.C. HWY 93/95) passes through Cranbrook and links the city with the Trans-Canada HWY in the north and the U.S. border with Montana in the south. The Canadian Pacific Railway has a railway yard in Cranbrook and rail connections that run to the Port of Vancouver and southwest to the U.S. The Trans-Canada Natural Gas Pipeline runs along the northwestern edge of the Koocanusa Property. The Canadian Rockies International Airport in Cranbrook offers several flights a day with to Calgary, Vancouver, and other locations.
The size of the Property is large enough to carry out potential mining operations including tailings storage areas, waste disposal areas, heap leach pad areas, and a plant site if a significant discovery is made. Water is available from local creeks, lakes and other bodies of water located on the Property. Power is also available locally from BC Hydro at Cranbrook. The Columbia River system, which includes dams like the Mica, Revelstoke, and Hugh Keenleyside dams, contributes significantly to the power supply in southeastern BC, where Cranbrook is located.
History and Previous Work
Minfile is a database of BC Ministry of Energy and Mines which contains geological, location and economic information on over 13,000 metallic, industrial mineral and coal mines, deposits, and occurrences in B.C. The BC Geological Survey (BCGS) has the mandate to compile Minfile information by reviewing mineral assessment reports, recent publications, press releases, property file and company websites. Portions of the Koocanusa Project area have seen prior work, most of which occurred between 1988 and 1991 and which resulted in the discovery of several B.C. MINFILE mineral occurrences:
- Gold Creek - MINFILE #082GSW022
- Frankie - MINFILE #082GSW034
- Lilo - MINFILE #082GSW076
- Jake Copper - MINFILE #082GSW070
- Yahk Mountain Zone - MINFILE #082GSW072
- Twin 5 - MINFILE #082GSW090
These MINFILE occurrences shown on Figure 4 and are discussed in this Section. The western portion of the Koocanusa claims abut against the Silver Fox Property recently worked by Kootenay Silver (Section 23).
Gold Creek - MINFILE #082GSW022
Gold was first discovered in the region in 1863 along the Wild Horse River, 10 km northeast of Cranbrook (Holland, 1980). The provincial government completed stream sampling across many parts of the province and the current database can be found as part of the Regional Geochemical Survey (RGS) (Han and Rukhlov, 2020). The regional resolution of this database limits the usefulness of this sample set for exploration purposes with only a small number of stream sediment samples collected from within the Project area. Despite the limited sampling in the area, elevated gold values (>90% percentile) can be seen in RGS stream sediment samples just south of the Project area. However, RGS stream sediment samples were generally not collected from the larger streams like Gold Creek.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
Klewchuck (1991a) reported that fine placer gold in Gold Creek, as well as surface alteration zones and anomalous mercury in bedrock, led South Kootenay Goldfields Inc. to commence an exploration program for lode gold in the area. The work on the Gold Creek showing area in 1989 included prospecting and rock geochemistry, analysis of heavy mineral and panned concentrate from stream samples, soil sampling, $9\mathrm{km}$ of line cutting and IP geophysics, and diamond drilling (Klewchuck and Ryley, 1990; Ryley et al., 1990). Heavy minerals and pan concentrates were collected from within Gold Creek and returned anomalous values along most of the sampling length and some samples returning over values in the range of below the lab detection limits to $198~\mathrm{ppm}$ Au, and $10~\mathrm{ppm}$ to $161~\mathrm{ppm}$ copper (Klewchuck and Ryley, 1990). Chalcopyrite and malachite staining was reported from a number of samples including both float and bedrock. Anomalous Cu values (1 ppm to $143~\mathrm{ppm}$ ) were identified in soil sampling from two lines south of, and running parallel to, Gold Creek. The rock samples collected indicated gold values in the range of 1 ppb to $33~\mathrm{ppb}$ , silver 0.1 ppm to $241.5~\mathrm{ppm}$ , copper 2 ppm to $9,337~\mathrm{ppm}$ , lead 2 ppm to $28,549~\mathrm{ppm}$ , and zinc 1 ppm to $76,198~\mathrm{ppm}$ . The Gold Creek MINFILE occurrence is described as consisting of disseminated copper sulfide mineralization occurring in the Nicol Creek, Gateway and Roosville formations. "Chalcopyrite is disseminated and occasionally concentrates as blebs. Malachite and azurite are less common, occurring in quartz veinlets and fracture planes." (B.C. MINFILE #082GSW022). Twenty-three diamond drill holes were attempted across the property in 1989 and 1990 (Table 2). The majority of the drill holes were targeted on geophysical anomalies. The highlight of this drilling was hole G90-1 which passed through tuffaceous sediments and volcanic flows. Three samples of mineralized quartz veining were sampled and returned values of $0.65\%$ , $0.20\%$ , and $0.43\%$ copper (Samples 45361, 45362 and 45364; Ryley et al, 1990). This drill location is the BC MINFILE Twin 5 occurrence (#082GSW022). A second hole drilled about $60\mathrm{m}$ to the NE (G90-19) did not identify significant copper mineralization. The overall focus of exploration in this program was gold, and no significant gold results were reported from this drilling. Important conclusions from the work include "Both the Nicol and Gateway formations contain disseminated chalcopyrite which may be stratabound" and "opportunity exists for stratiform copper deposits" (Ryley et al., 1990)). These drill holes were targeted to intercept geophysical survey anomalies. With some exceptions, typical sampling lengths were $1.5\mathrm{m}$ drilled width and bedding orientation was recorded 75 - 80 degrees to core angle. The drill intercepts are reported as drilled widths/depths and were not converted to true widths.
The focus of work in the second season was to identify gold mineralization through an exploration program of soil geochemistry, geological mapping, and an airborne magnetic and VLF-EM surveys (Klewchuck, 1991a; 1991b). The anomalous gold and copper values from the confluence of Cavan Creek and Gold Creek were targeted with a detailed soil geochemical grid made up of 1153 samples taken over a $12\mathrm{km}^2$ area. The soil sampling grid consisted of a $5\mathrm{km}$ cut baseline and $100\mathrm{m}$ spaced sample lines with a sample spacing of $100\mathrm{m}$ along the lines. Samples were collected from the 'B' horizon and results were presented in a map format without contouring or shading. A copper anomaly detected by the soil sampling led to the discovery of at least one new bedrock occurrence of copper (Klewchuck, 1991a). However, no new gold occurrences were discovered, and no additional drilling was completed in the second season. The helicopter borne magnetic and VLF-EM survey was conducted over the course of 2 days at the end of August 1990. The survey work included 614-line kilometers and covered 4 different areas which partly cover the Koocanusa property. One primary conclusion from this work was that geophysics is useful for indicating the presence of undetected structural breaks (Klewchuck, 1991a).
The main recommendation was that further work would be required to combine the geophysical survey information collected at the end of the 1990 season with the known geological and geochemical data to establish targets for more detailed exploration (Klewchuck, 1991).

Frankie - MINFILE #082GSW034
The Frankie showing (BC MINFILE #082GSW034) is reported as a mercury showing located on a ridge east of Gold Creek and ~2km south of Chains Lake. This showing has seen various prospecting, geological work, and drilling.
Klewchuck (1989, BC ARIS 18748) reported results from a 4-hole drilling program. The highlight was 0.31% mercury in a 0.6 m long sample of drill core (BC ARIS 18748). Assay results on a grab sample from the area returned 4.9% mercury (BC ARIS 19965). These intercepts are drilled widths and have not been converted to true widths. Mercury mineralization at this location is likely unrelated to the sediment hosted-copper mineralization on the property as it has been described as hydrothermal epigenetic of an unknown type (BC MINFILE #082GSW034).
Kennedy (2006a, BC ARIS 28482) conducted a brief two-day prospecting and mapping work project in 2005 on the area around the Frankie showing. Work consisted of prospecting and the creation of a prospecting map of alteration, veining, and mercury and copper occurrences. A second two-day prospecting and mapping work project by Kennedy (2006b, BC ARIS 28483) focused on the potential for mercury mineralization in sediments just south of Tepee Creek, towards the north end of the Koocanusa Project area. Cinnabar was reported to occur as coatings on pyrite cubes as well as in narrow breccia zones (Kennedy, 2006b). However, no sample descriptions, photographs, or assay results were provided in either of these assessment reports.
Lilo - MINFILE #082GSW076
The Lilo showing (BC MINFILE #082GSW076) lies on the southwestern portion of the Koocanusa Project. The Lilo Property was originally staked in 1990 after reconnaissance work identified alteration, limonitic staining, malachite, and disseminated chalcopyrite in logging road cuts (Bapty, 1991). Work on this property included 5 days of prospector mapping of roadcuts and outcrops, and the collection of grab samples for assay. Bapty (1991) reported azurite and chalcopyrite in narrow bedding-parallel fractures in black argillaceous siltstones as well as calcite veins with two grab samples returning assay values of 0.24% (Sample #2487) and
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
0.25% Cu (Sample #2487). A sample of limonitic calcite breccia (Sample #52211) returned assay values of 0.98% Cu and 3.4 ppm Ag (Bapty, 1991).
2012 – Geological mapping of NNW and NE trending Faults
Anderson (2013) conducted a mapping project on an area within the north central portion of the Koocanusa Project (Mineral Title #108159, Koo Bridge) to examine the area for gold potential. This area was recorded as one with low relief and little outcrops, but logging had improved access and added new road-cuts. A series of hard white alteration zones were found in the Gateway formation aligned along an NNW trend with a fault (Anderson, 2013). Minor galena and pyrite were noted as well as quartz vein float that was identified downslope of a fault. A detailed 1:20,000 geology, alteration, and structural map was created, but no follow up work was reported. The structural complexity of the Anderson (2013) geological map is instructive, as detailed geological mapping work will likely be required in the Project Area to trace out prospective strata and structures.
Jake Copper – MINFILE #082GSW070
The KRL (Jake Copper) occurrence is located on a ridge top in the southeastern head waters of Tepee Creek. The area is underlain by Proterozoic Belt–Purcell Supergroup sediments; mainly rusty weathering argillites of the Upper Aldridge Formation and clean quartzite, siltstone and argillite of the Creston Formation sediments have been intruded by gabbro-diorite Moyie sills and dikes, which are associated locally with mineralized base and precious metal veins. Structure in the area is mostly east-west trending as evidenced by veins and cleavage; bedding tends to undulate but is mostly shallow dipping.
Locally, strata-bound copper mineralization consisting of chalcopyrite and malachite with accessory galena, arsenopyrite, bornite and pyrite occur as disseminations and as fracture fillings in quartzites, calcareous siltstones and intense sericite altered siltstones over a stratigraphic interval of greater than 50 metres. Pyrolusite and jarosite alteration are associated with the mineralization. In 2012, two samples of mineralized quartzites assayed 0.104 and 0.127 per cent copper with 2.9 and 9.9 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 32645). In 2011, a rock sample (MC11-62) of quartz with malachite assayed 0.136 per cent copper and 17.5 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 32807).
In 1998, the area was prospected as the Dek claims. In 2006, Saint Eugene Mining completed 697 line-kilometres of airborne combined magnetic and electromagnetic surveys on the area. The same year Grandeur Resources completed a program of geological mapping and rock and soil sampling on the area. During 2007 through 2013, Kootenay Gold completed a program of geological mapping, hand trenching, rock and silt sampling, a 28.0 line-kilometre combined ground electromagnetic and magnetic survey, a 500 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey and a 500 line-kilometre seismic survey on the area as the KRL claims, Silver Fox property.
Yahk Mountain Zone, Silver Fox – MINFILE# 082GSW072
The Yahk Mountain Zone is located from the summit of Yahk Mountain south into the headwaters of an unnamed creek, approximately 16 kilometres southeast of Moyie. The showing was discovered in 2010 by Kootenay Gold Inc. as a part of the KRL mineral claims of the Silver Fox property. Previous work in the area has centred on the Silver Pipe (MINFILE 082GSW058) occurrence and more recently the Jake and Snake veins of the KRL property.
The area is underlain by Proterozoic Belt–Purcell Supergroup sediments; mainly rusty weathering argillites of the Upper Aldridge Formation and clean quartzite, siltstone and argillite of the Creston Formation sediments have been intruded by gabbro-diorite Moyie sills and dikes, which are associated locally with mineralized base and precious metal veins. Structure in the area is mostly east-west trending as evidenced by veins and cleavage, bedding tends to undulate, but is mostly shallow dipping.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
Locally, strata-bound copper mineralization is hosted in silicified and carbonatized Upper Creston laminated siltstone, sand lenses, a vitreous quartzite unit and also within a strongly leached Middle Creston quartzite. Copper mineralization occurs as blebs of chalcopyrite within the vitreous quartzite and as concentrated masses along primary bedding structures within sand lenses in silicified laminated green siltstone. Two areas were seen to have quartz-chlorite breccia float boulders with copper and lead mineralization. The character of the float is very similar to the mineralization at the Silver Pipe area and could represent the development of another east-west vein system along the St. Eugene trend.
In 2011, sampling returned values between 7.3 ppm to 5,543 ppm (0.55 percent) copper, less than 0.1 ppm to 24.7 ppm silver. Gold values were less than 0.5 ppb to 279.9 ppb (0.28 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 32181)).
During 2007 through 2013, Kootenay Gold completed a program of geological mapping, rock and silt sampling, a 500 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey and a 500 line-kilometre seismic survey on the area as the KRL claims, Silver Fox property.
Twin 5 – MINFILE #082GSW090
The Twin 5 occurrence is located on a small ridge to the southwest of Gold Creek, approximately 7.5 kilometres northwest of its mouth on Lake Koocanusa.
The area is underlain by Proterozoic and Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Basaltic flows and volcaniclastics of the Helikian Nicol Creek Formation (Purcell Supergroup) outcrop sporadically, while siltstones, dolomites and dolomitic quartzites of the Gateway Formation (Purcell Supergroup) are widespread. Quartzites of the overlying Phillips Formation (Purcell Supergroup) and fossiliferous limestones of the Upper Devonian Fairholme Group outcrop in the northeast. Roosville Formation (Purcell Supergroup) argillaceous dolomites also occur. Bedding generally strikes north-northwest with 30-to-40-degree dips to the northeast.
Locally, as identified by drilling, basalts and amygdaloidal flows host a zone of brecciation and alteration with mineralized quartz veins. The mineralization consists of coarse-grained pyrite with massive pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
In 1990, a diamond drill hole (G-90-01) intersected the following values (Assessment Report 19965B):
Table 3: Assessment Report 19965B
| Sample No. | From (m) | To (m) | Length (m) | Copper (%) |

| 45362 | 155.6 | 155.9 | 0.3 | 0.203 |
| 45364 | 156.2 | 156.6 | 0.4 | 0.434 |
During 1988 through 1990, South Kootenay Goldfields completed a program of geological mapping, soil and stream sampling, 708.1 line-kilometres of combined airborne electromagnetic and magnetic surveys, a 9.0 line-kilometre ground induced polarization survey and three diamond drill holes on the immediate area.

Regional Geology
The Koocanusa Property lies within the Purcell Mountains and is underlain by rocks of the Mesoproterozoic (~1.4 Ga) Purcell Supergroup (Figure 5). The Purcell Supergroup was deposited in an extensional basin and is primarily made up of siliciclastic and carbonate clastic rocks with minor amounts of mafic volcanic rocks. The basin extends from southeastern British Columbia into Idaho, western Montana, and eastern Washington. This sedimentary basin is termed the ‘Belt Basin’ or the ‘Belt Supergroup’ in the United States and the Purcell Supergroup in Canada.
Details of the Belt-Purcell Basin tectonic setting are still debated, but most models involve intracontinental rifting.
Rocks of the Purcell Supergroup in Canada have been stratigraphically subdivided based on changes within the basin (Höy, 1993; Lydon, 2007; Gardner and Johnston, 2007). These changes in the basin have led workers to commonly split rocks into four informal groups: the Basal, the lower, the Middle Carbonate, and the upper Purcell (Gardner, 2008). In the United States these four units are referred to as the lower, the Ravalli, the Middle Carbonate, and the Missoula.
The rift system that created the Belt-Purcell basin is interpreted to have been active in two stages; the first of which was underway by 1470 Ma and involved an accumulation of 10 km of fine-grained turbidites and intercalated mafic sills (Price and Sears, 2000). These turbidite ‘rift-fill’ rocks are termed the Aldridge Formation and host the world-class Sullivan SEDEX Zn-Pb deposit (Lydon, 2007). The second phase of basin rifting led to the deposition of approximately 6 km of shallow water sediments (Price and Sears, 2000). These shallow-water sediments are made-up of fine-grained clastic and carbonate rocks that were deposited in mud flat, lagoonal, fluvial, and playa environments and are interpreted to represent a ‘rift-cover’ sequence (Lydon, 2007). It is the ‘rift-cover’ portion of the basin that contains sediment-hosted Cu-Ag deposits in Montana (Hayes and Einaudi, 1986; Boleneus et al., 2005). The upper ‘rift-cover’ portion of the Purcell Supergroup has recently been interpreted to represent a transpressional pull-apart basin (Ross et. al., 2003; Gardner, 2008).
The ‘rift-cover’ sequence starts with siltstones and sandstones of the Creston formation, overlain by carbonates of the Kitchener Formation and then fine clastic rocks of the Van Creek Formation. A thick package of distinctive flood basalts, termed the Nicol Creek Formation, overlies these rocks. Coarse clastic and stromatolitic carbonate rocks of the Sheppard Formation sit locally on top of the Nicol Creek Formation. Shallow-water, fine-grained clastic rocks of the Gateway, Phillips and Roosville formations overlie the Sheppard formation (Höy, 1993). The stratigraphy of the Purcell Supergroup in the Project area, and from the Belt Supergroup in Montana, is summarized in Table 3.
Regional deformation has folded the Purcell Supergroup into a large north plunging anticlinorium with the oldest rocks of the Aldridge Formation at the core (Höy, 1993). The Purcell anticlinorium was formed as the Purcell Supergroup was thrust eastwards onto the cratonic margin of western North America in the late Mesozoic and Early Cenozoic (Price, 1981). A large number of thrust faults were created at this time, many of which were later reactivated at normal Faults (Höy, 1993).
The Rocky Mountain Trench lies to the east of the Project area and represents a broad structurally controlled valley that extends from Montana to the Yukon Territory and is floored by a thick sequence of Quaternary and Recent sand and gravel deposits (Höy, 1993). This trench separates the Purcell Mountains on the east from the Rocky Mountains on the west.

Figure 4: Regional Geological Map
Local Geology
The Koocanusa Project area was mapped by Leech (1960) and Höy and Carter (1988) and included in a compilation of the Purcell Supergroup by Höy et. al. (1995). All the rocks in the Project consist of the upper "Rift Fill" component of the Purcell Group Stratigraphy. This aspect is important because rocks of the Aldridge Formation in the lower Purcell Supergroup are reduced in nature and unlikely to host sediment-hosted Cu type deposits. The western and northwestern portion of the Property is underlain by the Kitchener and Van Creek formations (Figure 6) with rocks of the Creston Formation exposed just west of the property boundary. The remainder of the Property area is underlain by the Upper Purcell, including rocks of the Van Creek, Nicol Creek, Sheppard, Gateway, and Phillips formations.
Creston Formation
The Creston Formation is exposed just west of the northwest property boundary. The Creston Formation has been divided into three units based on lithology and environment of deposition (Höy, 1993). The lowermost unit is dominated by siltstone and argillite, the middle unit is dominated by quartz arenite with lesser siltstone, and the upper unit is predominantly siltstone. It is the middle sandstone-dominated unit, termed the 'Revet Formation' in Montana, that hosts the Troy, Rock Creek and Montanore Cu-Ag deposits. Crossbedding and ripple marks are common within the quartz-rich sandstone, consistent with deposition in a relatively shallow, high-energy environment.
Kitchener Formation
The Kitchener Formation is a thick horizon of carbonate rocks that include oolitic limestone and dolomitic siltstone (Höy, 1993). This unit is informally referred to as the Middle Carbonate in the Belt-Purcell Basin.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
Van Creek Formation
The Van Creek Formation consists of maroon or green interlayered siltstone and argillite. The unit is thinly bedded to laminated and locally fissile. Mud-chip breccias, ripple marks and desiccation cracks indicate that this unit was deposited in shallow water. Gabbro dikes and sills are relatively common near the top of the Van Creek Formation and may be interpreted as feeder dykes to the Nicol Creek Formation.
Nicol Creek Formation
The Nicol Creek Formation is a distinctive grey-green flood basalt unit (Höy, 1993) that is termed the ‘Purcell lavas’ where it exposed in Montana (Table 3). The Purcell lavas are commonly used as a marker horizon within the basin due to their distinctive nature and relatively widespread occurrence. The Nicol Creek basalts have not been dated but a rhyolite to quartz latite flow from the Purcell lavas in Montana has an age of 1443 ±7 Ma age (Evans et al., 2000). The Nicol Creek Formation is dominated by vesicular and amygdaloidal flows with vesicles and gas chambers locally providing well-defined top indicators to the flows. Plagioclase-porphyritic flows are also relatively common and are typically interlayered with the vesicular lavas. A general lack of pillow structures combined with the stratigraphic setting have led workers to interpret a subaerial eruption environment for these rocks (McGimsey, R., 1985; Höy, 1993). The Nicol Creek volcanic rocks have a subalkaline to alkaline, within-plate geochemical signature (Höy, 1993).
Sheppard Formation
The Sheppard Formation directly overlies volcanic rocks of the Nicol Creek Formation and is distinctive due to the local presence of well-developed stromatolitic rocks. The unit is reported as a calcareous sandstone and siltstone interspersed with stromatolitic and oolitic dolomitized limestone beds as well as massive non-calcareous sandstones by Gardner (2008). The Sheppard Formation was originally mapped by Leech (1960) as the lower part of Gateway Formation but was later adopted as a separate formation by McMechan (1981). An unconformable relationship between the Sheppard and Nicol Creek formations has been suggested by Höy (1993) due to missing Nicol Creek strata and local presence of conglomerate at the base of the Sheppard.
Gateway Formation
The Gateway Formation appears to make up most of the bedrock on eastern and southern portion of the Property. The Gateway is comprised of fine-grained light grey and green siltstone and sandstone with minor dolomitic limestone (Gardner, 2008). The base of the Gateway was marked by Höy (1992) as the first appearance of rip-up clasts, desiccation cracks and salt casts. The presence of salt casts has been considered distinctive of the stratigraphically equivalent unit in Montana (O'Brien, 1968). The Gateway Formation fines upward with predominantly sandstone at the base and fine-grained siltstone and argillite near the top (Höy, 1992). The unit ranges from thin to thick bedded and ripple marks are common. Odd buff dolomite sequences have also been reported from this unit and the depositional environment is lagoonal (Gardner, 2008).
Phillips Formation
The Gateway is separated from the overlying Roosville Formation by a distinctive maroon siltstone and sandstone that is rich in muscovite and termed the ‘Phillips Formation’. Without this marker formation, it may be impossible to identify the contact between the upper Gateway and the lower Roosville (Gardner and Johnston, 2007).
Roosville Formation
The Roosville Formation is described as a dark grey to green argillite and siltstone with fine to medium-grained dolomitic sandstone that was deposited in a tidal flat lagoonal environment (Gardner, 2008). Gardner (2008) marks the base of the Roosville Formation as the first appearance of massive stromatolite beds within finely laminated dark grey to black argillite and siltstone.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
Intrusive Rocks
Gabbro dikes are found cutting the Creston, Kitchener, and Van Creek Formations in areas south of Cranbrook (Hartlaub and Paradis, 2008; Hartlaub, 2009). A U-Pb age of 1439 ±2 Ma (Brown and Woodfill, 1998) for a gabbro sill that cuts the Kitchener Formation is consistent with an equivalent age for the Nicol Creek Formation in Montana. A gabbro dike, exposed near Eager hill north of Cranbrook, cuts the Kitchener Formation and includes numerous thin veins containing chalcopyrite (B.C. MINFILE 082GNW033). This gabbro may also represent a feeder dike to the overlying Nicol Creek basalts and is consistent with elevated Cu in these mafic volcanic rocks (Hartlaub and Paradis, 2008).
Structural Geology and Metamorphism
The project lies on the eastern limb of the regional Purcell Anticlinorium. Bedding in the project area generally strikes north-northwest and dips 25-55 degrees to the east-northeast. The oldest structures in the Project area are likely syn-sedimentary faults that would have been active during basin extension. The Gold Creek Minfile occurrence lies directly on the Gold Creek Fault mapped by Höy and Carter (1988). This fault is one of a series of west and south-west dipping normal faults that cut through the Property (Leech, 1960; Höy and Carter, 1988; Höy, 1993; 1995). The Gold Creek fault can be traced northwestwards from the U.S. border, through the Property and the city of Cranbrook, until it is covered by quaternary sediments just south of Kimberly. This fault is interpreted as a west and south-west dipping normal fault that was activated during extension in Early Tertiary time (Höy, 1993). These, and other, faults in the area are best identified by a combination of topographic analysis, geological mapping, and airborne magnetic surveys. The most significant of these normal faults is the Rocky Mountain Trench mapped east of Koocanusa Lake and covered by Quaternary and Recent sand and gravel deposits.
Mineralization
There are several mineral showings and occurrences on the property which are related to sediment hosted copper, gold, and mercury. Chalcopyrite and malachite sulfides are reported on the Gold Creek showing. Frankie showing is a sediment hosted mercury, copper mineralization. The Lilo showing has alteration in the form of limonitic staining, malachite, and disseminated chalcopyrite in logging road cuts. Mineralized quartz veins on the Property are dominantly controlled by east-west trending fault system. Disseminated iron and copper mineralization is widespread, occurring in the Nicole Creek, Gateway and Roosville Formations. Octahedral magnetite and hematite occur in amygdaloidal and massive basalts and volcaniclastic breccia of the Nicol Creek volcanics and less commonly in the Gateway and Roosville formations. Disseminated pyrite is occasionally thinly bedded to massive but normally is less than 1% in medium to coarse crystals. Chalcopyrite is disseminated as medium to coarse crystals and occasionally will concentrate as blebs, as seen in the Nicol Creek volcanics. Malachite and azurite are less common, occurring in quartz veinlets and fracture planes. (Klewchuck and Ryley, 1990).

Deposit Types and Models
Exploration on the Koocanusa Project should be designed with a primary focus to locate and delineate sediment-hosted Cu mineralization. Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks contain significant copper (Hitzman, 2000, 2010) and large cratonic basins filled with immature clastic sediments are, consequently, good source regions for this important resource. The Belt-Purcell basin has a thickness of at least 19 km in the central part of the basin in B.C. (Cook and van der Velden, 1995) and up to 18 km in the U.S. (Winston and Link, 1993). Sediment-hosted copper deposits are a major global source of copper and two of the three largest copper projects in the world that are currently in development are sediment-hosted (Mining, 2021). The majority of deposits are formed within Proterozoic-aged continental rift basins due to movement of moderately low pH oxidized fluids within permeable, shallow-water sedimentary and, more rarely, volcanic rocks (Brown, 1992; Cailteux et al., 2005). The largest and most prolific region for these deposits is the Central African Copper Belt of Zambia and the DRC, but deposits are found throughout the world (Cailteux et al., 2005; Hitzman et al., 2010). Canada hosts a number of known regions of sediment-hosted copper mineralization, including the Belt-Purcell Basin in B.C. and the Janice Lake area (Delaney et al., 1995; Wheatley and Mazur, 2018) of Northern Saskatchewan.
Exploration for sediment-hosted copper mineralization in the upper Belt-Purcell Supergroup was spurred by the major discovery of the Spar Lake Deposit in 1963 by Bear Creek Mining in the Revett Formation (Hayes and Einaudi, 1986). Numerous additional sediment-hosted stratabound Cu-Ag deposits, including Rock Creek and Montanore, have been identified in the upper Belt-Purcell Basin in Montana (Boleneus et al., 2005). The entire Belt-Purcell Basin was more recently reported by the USGS to host at least 11 deposits and 36 occurrences of sediment hosted copper (Zientek et al., 2015). The principal minerals at the Troy Mine in Montana are native silver and three argentiferous copper sulfides noted as bornite, digenite and chalcocite (Hayes and Einaudi, 1986). Mineralization was found to be intergranular, located between the clastic silicate grains. A major US Geological Survey of global sediment-hosted copper potential identified the Creston Formation of B.C. as having significant potential (Zientek et al., 2015). The same study identified copper
44
mineralization in overlying strata including the Snowslip, Shepard, Mt. Shields, and Bonner Formations, equivalent to the exposed units on the Koocanusa property. This is consistent with the prior work in the Project area that has identified several sediment-hosted copper occurrences and recent work on adjacent properties.

Figure 6: Example schematic cross-section of an intracratonic basin with sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits (from Hitzman et al., 2010)
Form of Mineralization
Sediment hosted copper mineralization can take a variety of forms and may be accompanied by significant silver and/or cobalt. Deposits are less than 30 m thick, and more commonly less than 3 m thick, in sulfide-bearing zones that are roughly concordant with the strata (Hitzman, 2010). Mineralization can be hosted in a variety of sedimentary rock types and the deposits may range from sheetlike, to tabular, to roll-front geometries (Hitzman, 2010). Mineralization is generally diagenetic with epigenetic mineralization also common (Cailteaux et al., 2005; Hitzman, 2010; Sillitoe, 2010). Copper, silver, cobalt, lead, and other metals are leached from minerals within the sedimentary and/or igneous rocks, carried through aquifers and precipitated. Syn-sedimentary faults may provide convenient conduits for the movement of mineralizing fluids (Mauk et al. 1992). Deposits are commonly dominated by chalcocite but have strong lateral and vertical zonation to bornite, then chalcopyrite, then pyrite (Cox et. al., 2003).
Mineralization may be accompanied by sulfide-bearing quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets (Sillitoe, 2010). Deposits in the Revett Formation of Montana are hosted in quartz-rich sandstone and a reductant in the form of pyritic sand bodies, or hydrocarbon fluids, is believed to have localized copper and silver mineralization (Boleneus et al., 2005; Hayes et al. 2012).
Exploration
2020-21 Exploration
Exploration by Aeonian on the Koocanusa Project commenced in August 2020 with field visits to the known MINFILE occurrences on the Property. Lithological mapping and sampling were conducted across the property in October 2020 to better constrain the geological setting of the Property and identify additional areas for further work. This work combined with a compilation of prior work on the Gold Creek prospect around the Twin 5 MINFILE occurrence (Section 6) led Aeonian to identify a Cu trend. This trend appears
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
to follow a stratigraphic horizon in siltstone near the base of the Gateway Formation and is referred to as the Koo Trend by Aeonian (Figure 8).

Figure 7: Geology of the Koo Trend Interpreted by Aeonian Geologists
A four-day program of lithological mapping, grab sampling, soil sampling, and ground geophysical surveying was conducted along the Koo Trend in June of 2021. The Koo area lies along the eastern side of Gold Mountain with topography dipping down to Gold Creek. Bedrock geology consists of NE dipping siltstones, sandstones and cherty and dolomitic sediments that overlie basalts of the Nicol Creek Formation (Figure 8). Bedding dips more steeply than topography with bedrock making up less than $5\%$ of the area. A NE trending fault is interpreted to offset the units with a left-lateral apparent movement. A grid was established in the area and ground magnetometer measurements and 96 soil samples were collected. During the soil sampling campaign, a coincident rock sampling and mapping program was also conducted on the property with a similar exploration focus on the northwestern portion of the Property.
A total of 45 rock chip samples were collected from rock outcropping locations encountered within the limits of the soil sampling grid. Samples were collected as representatively as possible with location and geological attributes recorded for future use. Upon completion of the program the rock samples were appropriately prepared and delivered to the Bureau Veritas laboratory of Richmond, British Columbia for analysis of gold and multi-elements. Bedrock grab-samples and soil samples collected by Aeonian were submitted to SGS Canada Minerals in Burnaby, B.C. which is an accredited independent group of laboratories.
The ground geophysical survey completed by Aeonian was used to determine the magnetic intensity and geometry of rock units within the Koo Trend. This type of survey could also help identify any structural
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
breaks (faults) that would offset the strata. The survey was conducted with two backpack mounted GSM-19W Overhauser "Walking" magnetometers and a stationary GSM-19T "Proton" base station unit, which was set up to record diurnal variations in the regional magnetic field during the survey. Positioning data was provided by handheld Garmin GPS64 units which were carried by each instrument operator in the field. Following the completion of the survey, a set of corrections and quality control (QC) procedures were applied to the magnetic data file including diurnal correction, low-pass noise reduction, and individual operator leveling. Data was then interpolated by Aeonian using industry-standard Golden Surfer 12 software. After gridding, high-resolution Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) imagery was exported as a georeferenced TIFF image with matching contour shapefile. An additional Google Earth overlay was also created by Aeonian from the magnetic data.
The strongest magnetic response is from the volcanics of the Nicol Creek Formation (Figure 9) and the Koo trend is clearly displayed in the soil results. The NE trending fault is also apparent in the ground magnetic data.

2023 Drone magnetic Survey
A UAV magnetic survey was carried out over six different grids on the Property during May 2023. The flight lines were mostly flown east-west at a spacing of 50 meters with a terrain clearance of 35 meters. Twenty readings were taken per second which works out to a reading every tenth of meter. The diurnal variation was monitored by a base station.
The UAV magnetic surveying data was diurnally corrected which was then followed up with editing out questionable readings. Four colour contour plan maps for each of the six grids were then produced being total magnetic field, $1^{\text{st}}$ vertical derivative, $1^{\text{st}}$ horizontal derivative in east direction, and $1^{\text{st}}$ horizontal derivative in north direction.
The magnetic surveying over the western three grids appeared to respond to layers of sandstone containing magnetite and copper mineralization as lineal-shaped magnetic highs. The magnetic highs within the eastern three grids are likely reflecting basalt of the Nicol Formation.
The magnetic maps show prominent lineations of magnetic lows striking mainly in different directions. These are indicative of geological structure such as faults, shear zones, and/or contacts and thus are exploration targets, especially where they intersect. They reflect zones of weakness which are conducive to the pooling of mineralizing fluids.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
Survey Equipment
The magnetometer used for the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) aeromagnetic survey was a GEM Systems potassium type, model GSMP-35U, which has the following specifications:
- Sensitivity: 0.0002 nT @ 1 Hz
- Resolution: 0.0001 nT
- Absolute: Accuracy: +/- 0.05 nT
- Dynamic: Range: 15,000 to 120,000 nT
- Gradient Tolerance: 50,000 nT/m
- Sampling Rate: 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 readings/second
- Operating Temperature: -40°C to +55°C
Mounted with the magnetometer was a laser altimeter for measuring terrain clearance and a GPS unit for measuring the UTM location to an accuracy of 0.7 meters. This instrumentation was mounted on a the DJI Matrice 300 (M300) RTK unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which is a quadcopter with a hovering accuracy of +/- 0.5m vertical and 1.5m horizontal. The M300 is controlled by a remote controller with a range of 15 km. The magnetic sensor, which is connected to the potassium magnetometer, was attached to the M300 via a single tow line with a distance of 10m from the UAV.
The magnetometer used for the base station, which monitors the diurnal variation in the magnetic field, was a GEM Systems Overhauser instrument, model GSM-19, with a GPS (global positioning system) attachment. It is a memory system capable of storing up to 5.3 million readings and reads the earth's total magnetic field directly in nanoTeslas (nT) to an accuracy of ±0.1 nT (with an instrument sensitivity of 0.022 nT and a resolution of 0.01 nT), over a range of 20,000 - 120,000 nT. The GPS attachment enables the base station to set its time to Greenwich Mean Time which is the time setting of the UAV magnetometer. This enables the base station magnetometer to have the exact same time as the UAV magnetometer so that the UAV magnetic readings can be accurately corrected for diurnal variation.

The six grids can be divided into two sets based on geology, and these are the Eastern Set and the Western Set. On all six grids the two maps that were mostly used for interpretation were Total Magnetic Intensity and 1st Derivative.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
The magnetic interpretation maps show prominent lineations of magnetic lows striking in different directions. These are indicative of geological structure such as faults, shear zones, and/or contacts and thus are exploration targets, especially where they intersect. They reflect zones of weakness which are conducive to the pooling of mineralizing fluids.
Western Set
The western set consists of three grids which are all underlain by the Kitchener Formation of the Purcell Supergroup. The three grids are Gilnockie, Jake Copper, and Moyie. According to BC Government MapPlace, the Kitchener Formation consists of dolomite and dolomitic siltstone. However, other sedimentary rock types, such as sandstone and chert, have been mapped within the three grid areas.
In general, the magnetic highs are caused by sandstone layers that contain magnetite and often contain copper mineralization such as chalcocite, bornite, and chalcopyrite. Therefore, magnetic highs become prospective for further exploration.
Gilnockie
In correlating with the known geology, the magnetic highs are shown to reflect sandstone containing magnetite. The highs curve around a center within the southwest corner which appear to indicate that they form part of an anticline. The rock-types that occur in between the sandstone layers apparently are fine-grained siltstones and cherts.
Five lineations of magnetic lows radiate out from the southwest corner and as mentioned above, are likely reflecting faults. Possibly where the lineations cross the magnetic highs may be prospective for copper mineralization.
Jake Copper
The magnetic field within the Jake Copper Grid has a very definite trend in a northwesterly direction suggesting that lithologic contacts strike in this direction. In fact, the total magnetic intensity map shows a magnetic high to the southwest and a magnetic low to the northeast. Therefore, a suggested northwesterly-trending lithologic contact has been drawn between these two magnetic features. The magnetic high consists of a series of lineal-shaped magnetic highs that also strike northwesterly. As with the Gilnockie Grid, these are likely reflecting bands of sandstone that are mineralized with magnetite as well as possibly copper minerals. The lower magnetic field to the northeast is probably reflecting fine-grained siltstone and chert.
The magnetic field increases to the northeast within the lower magnetic field. This suggests the possibility that lineations of magnetic highs reflecting sandstone with magnetite may occur within this area as well. The UAV magnetic survey therefore should be extended to the north and east of this area in order to determine this possibility.
Lineations of magnetic lows strike northwesterly and north-northwesterly which indicate faults and/or shear zones.
Moyie
The magnetic field for this grid is somewhat more complex and therefore is a little more difficult to interpret. The main feature is a magnetic high within the southern part of the survey area that appears to consist of sub-highs that are around a point to the immediate south. These sub-highs are probably reflecting magnetite-containing sandstone that also are part of an anticline. The apex of the anticline, however, shows the bands of sub-highs broken by a northerly trending lineal-shaped magnetic high. A possible interpretation is that this high is reflecting a northerly-trending intrusive dyke occurring along a fault.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
The lineations of magnetic lows that are indicative of faults strike north-northeasterly, easterly, east-southeasterly, and east-northeasterly.
Eastern Set
The three grids within the eastern set consist of Koo, Lilo, and Frankie and these are underlain by the Nicol Creek, Shepard, Gateway, Phillips, and Roosville Formations which consist almost entirely of sedimentary rock-types. The exception is the Nicol Formation of which one of the rock-types is basalt. Therefore, the magnetic highs within these three grid areas are likely reflecting this basic rock-type.
Koo
The magnetic field within this grid area also shows a very prominent northwesterly direction indicating that lithologic contacts and faulting strike in this direction.
The magnetic high within the central part of the survey area consists of three distinct lineal-shaped highs that are striking northwesterly and that are separated by magnetic lows. These three highs could be reflecting three distinct bands of basalt separated by sedimentary rock-types. Or, alternatively, the highs may be reflecting a wide area of basalt through which two strong fault zones strike northwesterly.
A magnetic high also occurs at the northern edge of the survey area and this also probably reflects basalt.
The lineations of magnetic lows that are indicative of faults also strike mainly northwesterly. There are also three northeasterly-striking lineations and thus where these three intersect the northwesterly-striking lineations are prime areas for copper exploration.
Lilo
The main feature of this magnetic survey grid is a wide magnetic high that appears to be striking northeasterly the anomaly becomes quite strong at the northeastern edge. It is probable that it is reflecting basalt, especially to the northeast. The anomaly is weaker within the central part of the grid area and to the southwest. This may simply mean that the basalt is at depth, perhaps below other rock types.
The magnetic lineations are mainly striking easterly and north-northwesterly.
Frankie
It was planned to carry out the magnetic surveying of this grid over a much wider area and thus the results and interpretation are somewhat limited.
Two magnetic highs occur at the northern edge and the southeastern edge of the survey area. These are likely reflecting basalt.
Lineations of magnetic lows that are likely reflecting faults and or shear zones are striking mainly northerly and easterly.

Sample Preparation, Analyses And Security
Historical Sampling
The rock samples collected during 2020-21 work by Aeonian were prepared and analyzed at the Bureau Veritas laboratory of Richmond, British Columbia for analysis of gold and multi-elements. Another set of soil and rock samples collected were submitted to SGS Canada Minerals in Burnaby, B.C using SGS code GE_ICP2B20 as summarized in the following Table. Sample locations were determined by hand-held GPS set to report locations in UTM coordinates using the North American Datum established in 1983 (NAD 83) Zone 11N. The samples were bagged and tagged using best practices and were delivered to the laboratories. The locations of mineralized outcrops and exploration areas were verified during the Author's visit to the Property. The Author also reviewed the laboratories' certificates of analysis and verified the analysis codes used.

Adjacent Properties
The majority of the exploration in the East Kootenay region has focused on the search for SEDEX-type lead-zinc mineralization. This work was concentrated on rocks of the Aldridge Formation in the deeper part of the Belt-Purcell Basin. Rocks of the upper part of the basin were not considered to be prospective for SEDEX mineralization due to the oxygen rich nature of the depositional environment. However, some recent copper exploration has taken place adjacent to the Project on the Silver Fox property.
The following information is taken from the publicly available sources which are identified in the text and in Section 27. The writer has not been able to independently verify the information contained. The information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Property, which is the subject of this technical report.

Moyie Anticline Program During 2020, During 2020, Kootenay initiated a program aimed specifically at the discovery of large silver-base metal deposits. One such program is focused on the famous Purcell Basin in southeastern B.C. that is host to silver resources in the Coeur D'Alene, Montana Copper-Silver and Sullivan mining districts. Kootenay staked approximately 35,000 additional hectares during 2020 in the southeast of British Columbia. The Moyie Anticline is comprised of six collective properties totaling approximately 32,232 hectares. In addition to the tenures that make up the Moyie Anticline property the Sweet Spot, Lady Slipper, Kenco, Down Dip and Leaky Pipe round out the properties included in the program. During 2021, Kootenay completed detailed geologic mapping and prospecting combined with deep seeing geophysics this may lead to a drilling plan. Kootenay is currently planning its 2023 exploration program. The focus will be Kootenay's qualifying property, the Moyie Anticline project. Kootenay is reviewing the results of its MT survey to delineate a program for the next phase which is scheduled to commence in early July 2023. (MDA March 31, 2023, filed on SEDAR).

Interpretation and Conclusions
Geologically, the Property is comprised of a significant land package suitable for SEDEX type copper mineralization. The Property lies within the Belt-Purcell Basin, and more specifically in the upper part of the basin that hosts numerous sediment-hosted copper deposits. In addition, significant exploration for sediment-hosted copper has recently occurred on the adjacent Silver Fox property.
The most significant prior work within the property boundaries focused on gold exploration during a period of historically low copper prices. Although this exploration did not lead to the discovery of significant gold mineralization, it did identify a number of sediment-hosted copper and mercury occurrences. One of these occurrences is in a drill-hole completed by South Kootenay Goldfields Inc. that intersected up to 0.65% copper in mineralized quartz veins. Just north of this occurrence Aeonian commenced work to better understand copper mineralization on the Koocanusa Property. This work included a compilation of previous results combined with new geological mapping, lithological and soil geochemical analysis, and a small geophysical survey. The work by Aeonian highlights that disseminated copper mineralization is present, sediment-hosted, and traceable in stratigraphy on the Property.
Exploration on the Koocanusa Project should be designed with a primary focus to locate and delineate sediment-hosted Cu mineralization. It is important to understand that the sediment hosted copper mineralization can take a variety of forms and may be accompanied by significant silver and/or cobalt. Deposits are less than 30 m thick, and more commonly less than 3 m thick, in sulfide-bearing zones that are roughly concordant with the strata (Hitzman, 2010). Mineralization can be hosted in a variety of sedimentary rock types and the deposits may range from sheetlike, to tabular, to roll-front geometries (Hitzman, 2010).
Based on its past exploration history, favourable geological and tectonic setting, presence of surface mineralization, and the results of present study, it is concluded that the Property is a property of merit and possesses a good potential discovery of sedimentary copper and other mineralization. Good road access, nearby powerlines, and gas lines together with abundant availability of exploration and mining services in the vicinity makes it a worthy mineral exploration target. The historical and current exploration data collected by various operators on the Property provides the basis for follow-up work programs.
Being an early-stage exploration property with no mineral resources or reserves there are some risks associated with the Property. Any future exploration efforts may not result in a significant discovery with potential mineral resources. Although the present infrastructure is sufficient during the exploration stage, significant improvements will be required to move the project beyond this stage.
Recommendations
In the Author's opinion, the character of the Koocanusa Property is sufficient to merit the following phased work program, where the second phase is contingent upon the results of the first phase.
Phase 1 – Geological Mapping and Sampling, Soil Geochemistry, and Geophysical Surveying
It is the Author's qualified opinion that the Koocanusa Property has merit for additional mineral exploration that is focused on sediment-hosted copper. An expansion of the surface geological mapping and bedrock sampling program needs to follow the targets generated by the 2023 geophysical survey to map out prospective horizons. The 2023 geophysical survey recommendations are provided below:
1) Extend the UAV magnetic surveying on each of the grids, if road access permits. This will assist in understanding the Property's geology as well as defining exploration target areas.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
2) Carry out exploration within and around the target areas. This may include soil sampling, prospecting and further geological mapping.
3) An Induced Polarization (IP) survey over the known Koo trend of mineralization to trace the known surficial mineralization to depth. The IP survey should be carried out across strike and with a reasonable length to achieve an adequate depth of survey.
An expansion of the soil geochemical sampling program is recommended to further highlight prospective targets.
The total estimated budget for this work is $204,380 and it will take about 12 weeks to complete this work.
Phase 2 – Drilling, Trenching and Sampling
If results from the first phase are positive, then a follow up drilling, trenching and expanded sampling program would be warranted. This work would help to further establish trends and continuity of the currently known anomalous surface mineralization as well as test depth extent of the sedimentary copper deposit type mineralization.
Detailed scope of work, budget and final location of drill holes and trenching work will be dependent upon results of Phase 1 work.

PART III – INFORMATION CONCERNING THE RESULTING ISSUER
Information contained in this Part III assumes Completion of the Qualifying Transaction.
Corporate Structure
Name and Incorporation
Following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will file articles of amendment to change its name to “Aeonian Resources Ltd.”, or such other name as may be determined in the sole discretion of the Board. It is expected that the Resulting Issuer will continue to be subject to the BCBCA and that the registered office of the Resulting Issuer will be located at 6th Floor – 905 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1L6 and the head office of the Resulting Issuer will be located 1000 - 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Intercorporate Relationships
Following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will own all of the issued and outstanding shares of Amalco, the Resulting Issuer’s sole subsidiary.
Description of the Business
Following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will continue to carry on the business of Aeonian. See “Part II – Information Concerning Aeonian – Development and Description of the Business”.
Stated Business Objectives
In addition to having the same stated business objectives as Aeonian, the Resulting Issuer intends to utilize the funds over the next 12 months after completion of the Amalgamation as described in “Estimated Available Funds and Principal Purposes”.
Milestones
The Resulting Issuer’s current business objective and sole current milestone is to complete the Phase 1 exploration program on the Property, as described herein. Based upon the recommendations of the Author in the Technical Report, the Resulting Issuer intends to carry out the Phase 1 exploration program in summer 2025 and complete the field work for Phase 1 by the end of summer 2025. The proposed budget for Phase 1 in the Technical Report is based on a 3-month work program, but the exact timeline is subject to change. The Resulting Issuer expects the Phase 1 exploration to cost $204,380. If the results of the Phase 1 exploration program are positive, the Resulting Issuer will look towards carrying out a Phase 2 exploration program.
The Resulting Issuer’s unallocated working capital will likely not be sufficient to fund a Phase 2 exploration program on the Property. Therefore, in the event the results of the Phase 1 exploration program warrant conducting further exploration on the Property, the Resulting Issuer will require additional financing to complete a Phase 2 exploration program. The availability of such financing cannot be guaranteed. The Resulting Issuer does not have an estimate of what a Phase 2 exploration program would cost at this time.
Although the Resulting Issuer intends to expend the funds available to it as set out above, the amount actually expended for the purposes described above could vary significantly depending on, among other things, mineral prices, unforeseen events, and the Resulting Issuer’s future operating and capital needs from time to time. There may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary.
Due to the nature of the business of mineral exploration, budgets are regularly reviewed with respect to both the success of the exploration program and other opportunities which may become available to the Resulting Issuer. Accordingly, if the results of the Phase 1 exploration program are not supportive of proceeding with Phase 2, or if continuing with the Phase 1 exploration program becomes inadvisable for any reason, the Resulting Issuer may abandon in whole or in part its interest in the Property or may, as work progresses, alter the recommended work
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
program, or may make arrangements for the performance of all or any portion of such work by other persons or companies and may use any funds so diverted for the purpose of conducting work or examining other properties acquired by the Resulting Issuer, although the Resulting Issuer has no present plans in this respect.
Description of the Securities
Resulting Issuer Shares
Each of the Resulting Issuer Shares is entitled to one vote per Resulting Issuer Share. Each of the Resulting Issuer Shares is entitled to receive an equal share of any dividends and distributions (whether payable in cash or otherwise) as may be declared on the Resulting Issuer Shares from time to time.

PART IV – RISK FACTORS
Where used in this “Risk Factors” section, “Aeonian” refers to either Aeonian or the Resulting Issuer as the context may require. The current business of Aeonian will be the business of the Resulting Issuer upon Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Accordingly, risk factors relating to Aeonian’s current business will be risk factors relating to the Resulting Issuer’s business and references to Aeonian in these risk factors should, where the context requires, be read to include the risks of the Resulting Issuer. Due to the nature of Aeonian’s business, the legal and economic climate in which it operates and its present stage of development, Aeonian is subject to significant risks. The risks presented below should not be considered to be exhaustive and may not be all of the risks that the Resulting Issuer and Aeonian may face. Aeonian’s future development and operating results may be very different from those expected as at the date of this Filing Statement. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Aeonian or that Aeonian currently considers immaterial may also impair the business and operations of the Resulting Issuer and cause the trading price of the Resulting Issuer Shares to decline. If any of the following or other risks occur, the Resulting Issuer’s business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. In that event, the trading price of the Resulting Issuer Shares could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment. There is no assurance that risk management steps taken will avoid future loss due to the occurrence of the risks described below or other unforeseen risks. Readers should carefully consider all such risks and other information elsewhere in this Filing Statement before making an investment in Aeonian or the Resulting Issuer and should not rely upon forward-looking statements as a prediction of future results. Risk factors relating to Aeonian include, but are not limited to, the factors set out below.
Business Risks
Limited Operating History
Aeonian has no history of earnings. There are no known commercial quantities of mineral reserves on any properties in which the Aeonian has an interest. The purpose of Aeonian’s private placements carried out to date was to raise funds to carry out exploration and, if thought appropriate, development with the objective of establishing economic quantities of mineral reserves. There is no guarantee that economic quantities of minerals will be discovered on any properties in which Aeonian has an interest in the near future or at all. If Aeonian does not generate revenue or is unable to raise further funds, it may be unable to sustain its operations, in which case it may become insolvent and investors may lose their investment.
Speculative Nature of Mineral Exploration
Resource exploration is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by Aeonian may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
the control of Aeonian and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in Aeonian not receiving an adequate return of investment capital. There is no assurance that Aeonian’s mineral exploration activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore. The long-term profitability of Aeonian’s operations will in part be directly related to the costs and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.
Financing Risks
Aeonian has no history of earnings and, due to the nature of its business, there can be no assurance that Aeonian will be profitable. Aeonian has paid no dividends on its shares since incorporation and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The only present source of funds available to Aeonian is through the sale of its securities. Even if the results of exploration are encouraging, Aeonian may not have sufficient funds to conduct the further exploration that may be necessary to determine whether or not a commercially mineable deposit exists on the properties owned by Aeonian. Aeonian’s unallocated working capital is not sufficient to fund a follow-on Phase 2 exploration program on the Property and there is no assurance that Aeonian can successfully obtain additional financing to fund a Phase 2 program.
While Aeonian may generate additional working capital through further equity offerings or through the sale or possible syndication of the Property, there is no assurance that any such funds will be available. If available, future equity financing may result in substantial dilution to current shareholders and investors in the Altina Financing. At present it is impossible to determine what amounts of additional funds, if any, may be required.
Property Interests
If Aeonian loses or abandons its interest in the Property, there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire another mineral property of merit or that such an acquisition would be approved by the Exchange. There is also no guarantee that the Exchange will approve the acquisition of any additional properties by Aeonian, whether by way of option or otherwise, should Aeonian wish to acquire any additional properties. Unless Aeonian acquires additional property interests, any adverse developments affecting the Property could have a material adverse effect upon Aeonian and would materially and adversely affect any profitability, financial performance and results of operations of Aeonian.
Commercial Ore Deposits
The Property is in the exploration stage only and is without a known body of commercial ore. Development of the Property would follow only if favourable exploration results are obtained. The business of exploration for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.
Uninsurable Risks
In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, certain risks, and in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and Aeonian may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of Aeonian.
Permits and Government Regulations
The future operations of Aeonian may require permits from various federal, provincial and local governmental authorities and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, export, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, land use, environmental protections, mine safety
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
and other matters. There can be no guarantee that Aeonian will be able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals that may be required to undertake exploration activity or commence construction or operation of mine facilities on the Property.
Environmental and Safety Regulations and Risks
Environmental laws and regulations may affect the operations of Aeonian. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality. They provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to rehabilitate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. The permission to operate can be withdrawn temporarily where there is evidence of serious breaches of health and safety standards, or even permanently in the case of extreme breaches. Significant liabilities could be imposed on Aeonian for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous owners of acquired properties or noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations. In all major developments, Aeonian generally relies on recognized designers and development contractors from which Aeonian will, in the first instance, seek indemnities. Aeonian intends to minimize risks by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and operating to applicable environmental standards. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous, making Aeonian's operations more expensive.
Risks Associated with Climate Change
Mining and processing operations are energy intensive, resulting in a significant carbon footprint. The Resulting Issuer acknowledges climate change as an international and community concern. A number of governments or governmental bodies have introduced or are contemplating regulatory changes in response to the potential impacts of climate change. Where legislation already exists, regulation relating to emission levels and energy efficiency is becoming more stringent. Some of the costs associated with reducing emissions can be offset by increased energy efficiency and technological innovation. However, if the current regulatory trend continues, this may result in increased costs at some of the Resulting Issuer's operations. In addition, the physical risks of climate change may also have an adverse effect at some of the Resulting Issuer's operations. These may include extreme weather events, natural disasters, resource shortages, changes in rainfall and storm patterns and intensities, water shortages, changing sea levels and changing temperatures., such climate-related disruptions appear to be increasing in frequency and may have increasingly significant impacts.
COVID-19 and Other Pandemics
The Resulting Issuer's business could be significantly adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics or pandemics or other health crises, including any outbreak of additional strains of COVID-19. Global reactions to the spread of COVID-19 led to, among other things, significant restrictions in many jurisdictions on travel and gatherings of individuals, quarantines, temporary business closures and a general reduction in consumer activity. Such epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises could materially and adversely impact the Resulting Issuer's business, including without limitation, employee health, workforce availability and productivity, limitations on travel, supply chain disruptions, increased insurance premiums, increased costs and reduced efficiencies, the availability of industry experts and personnel, restrictions on the Resulting Issuer's exploration programs and/or the timing to process exploration results and the slowdown or temporary suspension of operations. More broadly, such an outbreak could disrupt economic activity, resulting in reduced commercial and consumer confidence and spending, volatility in the global economy, and instability in the credit and financial markets, all of which could have an adverse impact on the Resulting Issuer's business, results of operations and financial condition.
Management
The success of Aeonian is currently largely dependent on the performance of its directors and officers. The loss of the services of any of these persons could have a materially adverse effect on Aeonian's business and prospects. There is no assurance Aeonian can maintain the services of its directors, officers or other qualified personnel required to operate its business.
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
Key Person Insurance
Aeonian does not maintain key person insurance on any of its directors or officers, and as result Aeonian would bear the full loss and expense of hiring and replacing any director or officer in the event the loss of any such persons by their resignation, retirement, incapacity, or death, as well as any loss of business opportunity or other costs suffered by Aeonian from such loss of any director or officer.
Mineral Titles
Aeonian is satisfied that evidence of title to the Property is adequate and acceptable by prevailing industry standards with respect to the current stage of exploration on the Property. Aeonian may face challenges to the title of the Property or subsequent properties it may acquire, which may prove to be costly to defend or could impair the advancement of Aeonian’s business plan.
Aboriginal Title
The Property or other future properties owned or optioned by Aeonian may now or in the future be the subject of First Nations land claims. The legal nature of aboriginal land claims is a matter of considerable complexity. The impact of any such claim on Aeonian’s ownership interest in the Property cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty and no assurance can be given that a broad recognition of aboriginal rights in the area in which the Property is located, by way of a negotiated settlement or judicial pronouncement, would not have an adverse effect on Aeonian’s activities. Should Aeonian apply for a notice of work permit application they will require First Nations engagement as the Property sits within the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation, and there is no assurance that Aeonian will be able to establish a practical working relationship with the Ktunaxa Nation which would allow it to explore and potentially develop the Property.
Fluctuating Mineral Prices
Aeonian’s revenues in the future, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the extraction and sale of precious and base minerals and metals, which in turn depend on the results of Aeonian’s exploration on these properties and whether development will be commercially viable or even possible. Factors beyond the control of Aeonian may affect the marketability of metals discovered, if any. Metal prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, including as a result of the significant market reaction to COVID-19. Consequently, the economic viability of any of Aeonian’s exploration projects cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in mineral prices.
Competition
The mining industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. Aeonian competes for the acquisition of mineral properties, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than Aeonian. The competition in the mineral exploration and development business could have an adverse effect on Aeonian’s ability to hire or maintain experienced and expert personnel or acquire suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.
Negative Cash Flows From Operations
For the financial years ended October 31, 2023 and 2024 and the three month period ended January 31, 2025, Aeonian had negative cash flow from operating activities of $154,298, $97,189 and $1,140 respectively. Aeonian continues to have negative operating cash flow. It is possible the Resulting Issuer may have negative cash flow in any future period and as a result, the Resulting Issuer may need to use available cash, including proceeds from the Altina Financing and any future financings to fund any such negative cash flow.
Resale of Common Shares
The continued operation of Aeonian will be dependent upon its ability to generate operating revenues and to procure additional financing. There can be no assurance that any such revenues can be generated or that other financing can
be obtained. If Aeonian is unable to generate such revenues or obtain such additional financing, any investment in Aeonian may be lost. In such event, the probability of resale of the Common Shares by any investor of Aeonian would be diminished.
Community Groups
There is an ongoing level of public concern relating to the effects of mining on the natural landscape, on communities and on the environment. Certain non-governmental organizations, public interest groups and reporting organizations ("NGOs") who oppose resource development can be vocal critics of the mining industry. Any such actions and the resulting media coverage could have an adverse effect on the reputation and financial condition of Aeonian or its relationships with the communities in which it operates, which could have a material adverse effect on Aeonian's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.
Price Volatility of Publicly Traded Securities
In recent years, the securities markets in Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. It may be anticipated that any quoted market for the Common Shares will be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of Aeonian in executing on its business plan, creating revenues, cash flows or earnings. The value of the Common Shares will be affected by such volatility. There is currently no public market for the Common Shares. An active public market for the Common Shares might not develop or be sustained after the Listing Date. If an active public market for the Common Shares does not develop, the liquidity of a shareholder's investment may be limited and the share price may decline below the price at which the Common Shares were issued.
Conflicts of Interest
Some of the directors and officers are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for additional business opportunities on behalf of other corporations, and situations may arise where these directors and officers will be in direct competition with Aeonian. Conflicts, if any, will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of the BCBCA. Some of the directors and officers of Aeonian are or may become directors or officers of other companies engaged in other business ventures.
Risks Related to the Common Shares and Completion of the Qualifying Transaction
Market for the Common Shares
There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Common Shares will develop or, if developed, that any market will be sustained. Aeonian cannot predict the prices at which the Common Shares will trade. Fluctuations in the market price of the Common Shares could cause an investor to lose all or part of its investment in Common Shares.
No History of Payment of Cash Dividends
Aeonian has not declared or paid cash dividends on the Common Shares. Upon Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, Aeonian intends to retain future earnings to finance the operation, development and expansion of the business. Aeonian does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on Aeonian's financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors that the Board considers relevant.
Significant Sales of Common Shares
The Common Shares held by Aeonian's directors, executive officers, Control Persons and certain other security holders of Aeonian may be subject to contractual lock-up restrictions and may also be subject to escrow and SSRR
1398-6722-9450, v. 43
pursuant to the policies of the TSXV. Sales of a substantial number of the Common Shares in the public market after the expiry of lock-up, SSRR or escrow restrictions, or the perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares and could make it more difficult for investors to sell Common Shares at a favourable time and price.
Analyst Coverage
The trading market for the Common Shares may become dependent on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about Aeonian or its business. Aeonian will not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who covers Aeonian should downgrade the Common Shares or change their opinion of Aeonian's business prospects, Aeonian's share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of Aeonian or fails to regularly publish reports on Aeonian, Aeonian could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the Common Share price or trading volume to decline.
Tax Issues
There are income tax consequences in relation to the Common Shares in the context of the Qualifying Transaction that will vary according to circumstances of each investor. Prospective investors should seek independent advice from their own tax and legal advisers.
Completion of the Qualifying Transaction is Subject to Conditions Precedent
The Completion of the Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including the final approval by the TSXV. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied and that the Qualifying Transaction will be completed.
PART V – GENERAL MATTERS
Auditor, Transfer Agent and Registrar
On Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the auditor of the Resulting Issuer is expected to be Crowe MacKay LLP, located at 1185 W. Georgia St. #1400, Vancouver, BC V6E 4E6.
On Closing, Computershare Investor Services Inc., at its Vancouver office located at 3rd Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3B9, is expected to be transfer agent and registrar for the Resulting Issuer on Completion of the Qualifying Transaction.
Sponsorship
Altina and Aeonian have requested an exemption from the sponsorship requirements under TSXV Policy 2.2 Sponsorship and Sponsorship Requirements ("Policy 2.2"). The Exchange has granted Aeonian's request for an exemption from the sponsorship requirements.
Relationships
Except as disclosed herein, there are no actual or anticipated agreements with any registrant to provide sponsorship or corporate finance services either now or in the future.
Experts
No experts have or will have immediately following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, any direct or indirect interest in the Resulting Issuer or Aeonian.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022
(EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)
DAVIDSON & COMPANY LLP
Chartered Professional Accountants
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Altina Capital Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Altina Capital Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, cash flows, and changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has an accumulated deficit of $566,908 as at December 31, 2022 and that the Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient to cover its operating costs. As stated in Note 1, these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our auditor’s report.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Telephone (604) 687-0947 Davidson-co.com
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Zachary Faure.

Altina Capital Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Altina Capital Corp. (TSXV: ALTN.P) (the "Company") was incorporated on August 23, 2019, under the laws of British Columbia and is a Capital Pool Company ("CPC") as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) Policy 2.4. The Company has not commenced commercial operations and has no significant assets. The activities of the Company are initially limited to the efforts to identify and evaluate the acquisition of assets and business, which would represent a "Qualifying Transaction" for regulatory purposes. Refer to Note 11. On September 21, 2020, the Company completed its initial public offering. The Company's common shares are listed for trading on the TSX-V under the trading symbol ALTN.P. The head office and the records and registered office is located at 25th Floor, 700 W Georgia St. Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1B3.
Since incorporation on August 23, 2019, the Company has had no active business operations. As a CPC, the Company's principal business objective will be to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to potential acquisition or participation by completing a Qualifying Transaction, as defined in Exchange Policy 2.4 subject, in certain cases, to shareholder approval and acceptance by the Exchange. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $566,908 as at December 31, 2022. The Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient to cover its operating costs. All of the preceding indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
These financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2023.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
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 Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
Altina Capital Corp.
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2022
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Income taxes
Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income of loss or directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or equity.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
b) Share capital
Common shares are classified as shareholders' equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share purchase options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
The proceeds from the issue of units is allocated between common shares and common share purchase warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated to share capital based on the fair value of the common shares and any residual value is allocated to common share purchase warrants.
c) Loss per share
The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.
d) Financial instruments
Recognition
The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Altina Capital Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
d) Financial instruments (continued)
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories: i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss, and ii) those to be measured at amortized costs. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
The Company has implemented the following classifications:
- Cash is classified as assets at fair value and any period change in fair value is recorded in profit or loss.
- Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense is recorded in profit or loss.
Measurement
All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in case of a financial asset tor financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments or principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets including equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or other comprehensive income (irrevocable election at the time of recognition).
Impairment
The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward looking information.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2022
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
e) Share based compensation
The stock option plan allows Company directors, officers, employees, and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as a share-based payment expense with a corresponding increase in shareholders' equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital and the fair value of the options is reclassified from contributed surplus to share capital.
In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all the services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are all measured at the fair value of the share based payment. Otherwise, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the services received.
The fair value is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of stock options that are expected to vest.
f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
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. Actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income 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.
Information about critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements are discussed below:
Judgements
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business within the foreseeable future. Management makes judgements regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as discussed in Note 1.
Altina Capital Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)
Estimates
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company's ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management's assessment of the Company's ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.
Share-based payments
Share-based compensation expense is measured by reference to the fair value of the stock options at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility, dividend yield, and rate of forfeitures and making assumptions about them. The value of the share-based payments expense is disclosed in Note 7.
5. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
New accounting standards and interpretations
There were no new or amended accounting standards or interpretations adopted during the year ended December 31, 2022. Accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
6. RELATED PARTIES
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, there were no amounts due to related parties.
Key management personnel include persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole. The Company has identified its directors and certain senior officers as its key management personnel and the compensation costs for key management personnel and companies related to them were recorded at their exchange amounts as agreed upon by transacting parties.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred share based compensation for key management of $28,659 (2021 - $Nil).

These options may be granted for a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant and vest as determined by the board of directors. The exercise price will be set by the directors at the time of grant and cannot be less than the discounted market price of the Company's common shares, subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.10. On September 15, 2021, the stock option plan was amended to allow the total number of common shares of the Company reserved for issuance under the plan both before and after completion of a Qualifying Transaction to equal up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as at the date of grant, rather than at the closing date of the IPO. The amendment will also allow the number of common shares reserved for issuance to any individual director or senior office to not exceed 5% of the common shares outstanding as at the date of grant, rather than at the closing date of the IPO.

| Estimated annualized volatility | 100% | N/A |
| Expected life (years) | 10 | N/A |
| Expected dividend yield | 0% | N/A |
8. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
Capital is comprised of the Company's shareholders' equity. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its ongoing liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels. In the management of capital, the Company includes components of shareholders' equity. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company is subject to an externally imposed capital requirement of a maximum of $3,000 monthly spending on general and administrative expenses in accordance with the Exchange Policy 2.4. There were no changes to management's approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2022.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
- Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, and
- Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market date.
The fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of all other financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
Financial risk management
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 Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. Management believes that the credit risk related to its cash is negligible.
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 liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as described in Note 8.
The Company monitors its ability to meet its short-term administrative expenditures by raising additional funds through share issuance when required. The Company does not have investments in any asset backed deposits.
Market Risk
The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are interest rate risk and currency risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash maintained at the financial institutions is subject to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate risk on cash is not considered significant.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company is not exposed to significant currency risk. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.
10. INCOME TAXES
The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the Canadian combined federal and provincial corporate income tax rates to the loss before income taxes. A reconciliation of the expected income tax recovery to the actual income tax recovery is as follows:
| 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net loss before income taxes | $ (154,884) | $ (332,883) |
| Statutory income tax rate | 27% | 27% |
| Expected income tax recovery at statutory rate | (42,000) | (90,000) |
| Permanent differences | 8,000 | – |
| Adjustment to prior years provision versus statutory tax returns | 66,000 | – |
| Change in unrecognized deductible temporary differences | (32,000) | 90,000 |
| Deferred income tax recovery | $ – | $ – |
The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
| 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Share issue costs | $ 10,000 | $ 19,000 |
| Non-capital losses available for future period | 93,000 | 116,000 |
| 103,000 | 135,000 | |
| Unrecognized deferred tax assets | (103,000) | (135,000) |
| Deferred income taxes recovered | $ – | $ – |
As of December 31, 2022, the Company has non-capital tax losses of approximately $343,000 that may be offset against future Canadian taxable income. These losses expire commencing 2039.
11. QUALIFYING TRANSACTION
On June 1, 2021, as amended March 22, 2022, the Company entered into the Definitive agreement with Omega Gold. Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Omega on a one for one basis in exchange for the Company's common shares (the "Transaction"). Omega's primary business is gold exploration and has rights to certain mineral exploration claims in Peru. In connection with the Transaction, the Company and Omega Gold will complete one or more private placements for aggregate proceeds of at least $10,161,668 and not more than $13,000,000 ("Concurrent Financings"). Completion of the Transaction is conditional upon receipt of all required consents and approvals (including from the directors and shareholders of Omega Gold, and the directors and if necessary, the shareholders, of the Company, and from the TSX-V), Omega Gold providing a current technical report that is acceptable to the TSX-V and the Company, Omega Gold delivering a title opinion for the subject property in a form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Company, completion of the Concurrent Financings, completion of satisfactory due diligence and several other conditions.

DAVIDSON & COMPANY LLP
Chartered Professional Accountants
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of
Altina Capital Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Altina Capital Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has an accumulated deficit of $472,340 as at December 31, 2023 and the Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient to cover its operating costs. As stated in Note 1, these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year ended. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our auditor’s report.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Telephone (604) 687-0947 Davidson-co.com
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current year ended and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Zachary Faure.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2023
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Altina Capital Corp. (TSXV: ALTN.P) (the "Company") was incorporated on August 23, 2019 under the laws of British Columbia and is a Capital Pool Company ("CPC") as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) Policy 2.4. The Company has not commenced commercial operations and has no significant assets. The activities of the Company are initially limited to the efforts to identify and evaluate the acquisition of assets and business, which would represent a "Qualifying Transaction" for regulatory purposes. Refer to Note 11 and Note 12. On September 21, 2020, the Company completed its initial public offering. The Company's common shares are listed for trading on the TSX-V under the trading symbol ALTN.P. The head office and the records and registered office is located at 25th Floor, 700 W Georgia St. Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1B3.
Since incorporation on August 23, 2019, the Company has had no active business operations. As a CPC, the Company's principal business objective will be to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to potential acquisition or participation by completing a Qualifying Transaction, as defined in TSX Policy 2.4 subject, in certain cases, to shareholder approval and acceptance by the Exchange. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $472,340 as at December 31, 2023. The Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient to cover its operating costs. All of the preceding indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
These financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2024.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
Altina Capital Corp.
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2023
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Income taxes
Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income of loss or directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or equity.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
b) Share capital
Common shares are classified as shareholders' equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share purchase options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
The proceeds from the issue of units is allocated between common shares and common share purchase warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated to share capital based on the fair value of the common shares and any residual value is allocated to common share purchase warrants.
c) Earnings (loss) per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share does not adjust the earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.
d) Financial instruments
Recognition
The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2023
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
d) Financial instruments (continued)
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories: i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss, and ii) those to be measured at amortized costs. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
The Company has implemented the following classifications:
- Cash is classified as amortized cost.
- Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense is recorded in profit or loss.
Measurement
All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in case of a financial asset for financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments or principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets including equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or other comprehensive income (irrevocable election at the time of recognition).
Impairment
The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward looking information.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2023
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
e) Share-based compensation
The stock option plan allows Company directors, officers, employees, and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as a share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in shareholders' equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital and the fair value of the options is reclassified from contributed surplus to share capital.
In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all the services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are all measured at the fair value of the share based compensation. Otherwise, share-based compensation is measured at the fair value of the services received.
The fair value is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of stock options that are expected to vest.
f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
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. Actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income 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.
Information about critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements are discussed below:
Judgements
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business within the foreseeable future. Management makes judgements regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as discussed in Note 1.
Altina Capital Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2023 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)
Estimates
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company's ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management's assessment of the Company's ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.
Share-based compensation
Share-based compensation expense is measured by reference to the fair value of the stock options at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility, dividend yield, and rate of forfeitures and making assumptions about them. The value of the share-based compensation expense is disclosed in Note 7.
5. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
New accounting standards and interpretations
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2
The IASB has issued amendments titled 'Disclosure of Accounting Policies' to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2, effective from January 1, 2023. These changes guide entities to prioritize the disclosure of 'material' over 'significant' accounting policies. The amendments provide clarity on identifying material policies, emphasizing that information can be material due to its inherent nature, even if related amounts are immaterial. Additionally, IFRS Practice Statement 2 has been enhanced to support these changes. The adoption of these amendments resulted in certain changes to the Company's accounting policy disclosures. The Company's material accounting policies are disclosed in Note 4 – Summary of Material Accounting Policies.
Accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
6. RELATED PARTIES
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, there were no amounts due to related parties.

8. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
Capital is comprised of the Company's shareholders' equity. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its ongoing liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels. In the management of capital, the Company includes components of shareholders' equity. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company is subject to an externally imposed capital requirement of a maximum of $3,000 monthly spending on general and administrative expenses in accordance with the Exchange Policy 2.4. There were no changes to management's approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2023.
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
- Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, and
- Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market date.
The fair value of all financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
Financial risk management
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 Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. Management believes that the credit risk related to its cash is negligible.
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 liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as described in Note 8.
The Company monitors its ability to meet its short-term administrative expenditures by raising additional funds through share issuance when required. The Company does not have investments in any asset backed deposits.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
- Market Risk
The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash maintained at the financial institutions is subject to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate risk on cash is not considered significant.
Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company is not exposed to significant currency risk. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.
Other Price Risk
Other price risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.
10. INCOME TAXES
The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the Canadian combined federal and provincial corporate income tax rates to the loss before income taxes. A reconciliation of the expected income tax recovery to the actual income tax recovery is as follows:
| 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net income (loss) before income taxes | $ 94,568 | $ (154,884) |
| Statutory income tax rate | 27% | 27% |
| Expected income tax recovery at statutory rate | 26,000 | (42,000) |
| Permanent differences | – | 8,000 |
| Adjustment to prior years provision versus statutory returns | 19,000 | 66,000 |
| Change in unrecognized deductible temporary differences | (45,000) | (32,000) |
| Deferred income tax recovery | $ – | $ – |
The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
| 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Share issue costs | $ 5,000 | $ 10,000 |
| Non-capital losses available for future period | 53,000 | 93,000 |
| 58,000 | 103,000 | |
| Unrecognized deferred tax assets | (58,000) | (103,000) |
| Deferred income taxes recovered | $ – | $ – |
As of December 31, 2023, the Company has non-capital tax losses of approximately $195,000 that may be offset against future Canadian taxable income. These losses expire commencing 2039.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 27, 2024, the Company entered into an amalgamation agreement with Aenonian Resources Ltd. ("Aenonian"), with respect to a reverse takeover transaction (the "Reverse Takeover Transaction") between the Company, Aeonian, and 1472748 B.C. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated for the sole purpose of effecting the Reverse Takeover Transaction. Aeonian is a private company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), and is a junior mineral exploration company. The Reverse Takeover Transaction is expected to constitute the Company's "qualifying transaction" as defined as defined in TSX Policy 2.4. Pursuant to the Reverse Takeover Transaction, Aeonian and 1472748 B.C. Ltd will amalgamate to form one corporation ("Amalco") and Aeonian will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company in exchange for common shares of Aeonian on a 1:1 basis resulting in a reverse takeover of the Company. Upon closing of the Reverse Takeover Transaction, the Company will change its name to "Aenonian Resources Corp.", and Amalco will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which will carry on the junior mineral exploration operations presently carried on by Aeonian.
In connection with the Reverse Takeover Transaction, the Company will complete a private placement of Units (comprising one common share of the Company and up to one whole share purchase warrant) at an anticipated price of $0.10 per unit for aggregate proceeds of at least $1,000,000 ("Concurrent Financing").
The completion of the Reverse Takeover Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including but not limited to the acceptance of the TSX-V and if applicable, shareholder approval. There can be no assurance that the Reverse Takeover Transaction will be completed on the terms described in the amalgamation agreement or at all.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Altina Capital Corp. (TSXV: ALTN.P) (the "Company") was incorporated on August 23, 2019 under the laws of British Columbia and is a Capital Pool Company ("CPC") as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) Policy 2.4. The Company has not commenced commercial operations and has no significant assets. The activities of the Company are initially limited to the efforts to identify and evaluate the acquisition of assets and business, which would represent a "Qualifying Transaction" for regulatory purposes. Refer to Note 9. On September 21, 2020, the Company completed its initial public offering. The Company's common shares are listed for trading on the TSX-V under the trading symbol ALTN.P. The head office and the records and registered office is located at 25th Floor, 700 W Georgia St. Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1B3.
Since incorporation on August 23, 2019, the Company has had no active business operations. As a CPC, the Company's principal business objective will be to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to potential acquisition or participation by completing a Qualifying Transaction, as defined in TSX Policy 2.4 subject, in certain cases, to shareholder approval and acceptance by the Exchange. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $518,663 as at September 30, 2024. The Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient to cover its operating costs. All of the preceding indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
These financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors on November 29, 2024.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These financial statements comply with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34").
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPALS OF CONSOLIDATION
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the new principals of consolidation applied upon incorporation of the wholly owned subsidiary and the new accounting standards identified in Note 4.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, 1472748 B.C. Ltd, incorporated for the purpose of the Reverse Takeover Transaction (Note 9). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required of a full annual financial report and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period.

4. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
New accounting standards and interpretations
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1")
The IASB has issued an amendment to IAS 1 titled ‘Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current’, effective from January 1, 2024. The amendment provides clarify on how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued but not yet effective standards
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18")
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 which replaces IAS 1. IFRS 18 carries forward many requirements from IAS 1 unchanged but introduces significant changes to how information is communicated in financial statements, in particular the structure of the statement of profit or loss to include defined categories and new defined subtotals, enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures, and enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this new standard.
All other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
5. RELATED PARTIES
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.

7. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
Capital is comprised of the Company's shareholders' equity. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its ongoing liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels. In the management of capital, the Company includes components of shareholders' equity. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company is subject to an externally imposed capital requirement of a maximum of $3,000 monthly spending on general and administrative expenses in accordance with the Exchange Policy 2.4. There were no changes to management's approach to capital management during nine months ended September 30, 2024.
8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
- Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, and
- Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market date.
The fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of all other financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
Financial risk management
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 Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. Management believes that the credit risk related to its cash is negligible.
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 liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as described in Note 7.
The Company monitors its ability to meet its short-term administrative expenditures by raising additional funds through share issuance when required. The Company does not have investments in any asset backed deposits.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Market Risk
The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are interest rate risk and currency risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash maintained at the financial institutions is subject to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate risk on cash is not considered significant.
Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company is not exposed to significant currency risk. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.
9. QUALIFYING TRANSACTION
Omega Gold (terminated)
On June 1, 2021, as amended March 22, 2022, the Company entered into the Definitive agreement with Omega Gold. Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Omega on a one for one basis in exchange for the Company's common shares (the "Transaction"). Omega's primary business is gold exploration and has rights to certain mineral exploration claims in Peru.
On March 30, 2023, the Company terminated the agreement with Omega.
On November 14, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a vendor whereby the Company made a cash payment of $167,890 for the settlement of $307,057 of accounts payable for professional fees in connection with the abandoned Transaction with Omega, which resulted in a gain on settlement of debt of $139,167.
Aeonian Resources
On March 27, 2024, the Company entered into an amalgamation agreement with Aeonian Resources Ltd. ("Aeonian"), with respect to a reverse takeover transaction (the "Reverse Takeover Transaction") between the Company, Aeonian, and 1472748 B.C. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated for the sole purpose of effecting the Reverse Takeover Transaction. Aeonian is a private company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and is a junior mineral exploration company. The Reverse Takeover Transaction is expected to constitute the Company's "qualifying transaction" as defined as defined in TSX Policy 2.4. Pursuant to the Reverse Takeover Transaction, Aeonian and 1472748 B.C. Ltd will amalgamate to form one corporation ("Amalco") and Aeonian will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company in exchange for common shares of Aeonian on a 1:1 basis resulting in a reverse takeover of the Company. Upon closing of the Reverse Takeover Transaction, the Company will change its name to "Aeonian Resources Corp.", and Amalco will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which will carry on the junior mineral exploration operations presently carried on by Aeonian.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 15, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Aeonian to amend and restate the amalgamation agreement ("Amended Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, in connection with the Transaction and as a condition to its closing, the Concurrent Financing has been replaced with an Amended Concurrent Financing, whereby both Altina and Aeonian will complete individual private placements for minimum combined aggregate gross proceeds of $800,000 (the "Amended Concurrent Financing"). Under the Amended Concurrent Financing, the Company will complete a private placement of Units (comprising one common share of the Company and up to one whole share purchase warrant) at a price of $0.10 per unit. In addition, Aonian will complete a private placement of Units (comprising one common share of Aeonian that qualifies as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of a whole share purchase warrant) at a price of $0.10 per unit. The outside date for completion of the Reverse Takeover Transaction, as amended by the Amended Agreement, is December 31, 2024

ALTINA CAPITAL CORP.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
DECEMBER 31, 2022
INTRODUCTION
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") is dated April 28, 2023 and should be read in conjunction with financial statements of Altina Capital Corp.'s ("Altina" or the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2022. Altina prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
For the purposes of preparing this MD&A, management, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, considers the materiality of information. Information is considered material if: (i) such information results in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a significant change in the market price or value of Altina common shares; or (ii) there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making an investment decision; or (iii) if it would significantly alter the total mix of information available to investors. Management, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, evaluates materiality with reference to all relevant circumstances, including potential market sensitivity.
Altina's financial statements, MD&A and all other continuous disclosure documents are filed with Canadian securities regulators and are available for review under the Altina Capital Corp. profile at www.sedar.com.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in the following MD&A constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated on August 23, 2019 under the laws of British Columbia and is a Capital Pool Company ("CPC") as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) Policy 2.4. The Company will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Company's common shares are listed for trading on the TSX-V under the trading symbol ALTN.P. The Company's registered and records office is located at Suite 2500 - 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1B3.
The Company's continuing operations are dependent on the continued financial support of its shareholders, and the completion of a Qualifying Transaction. Any acquisition or investment proposed by the Company will be subject to regulatory approval. There is no assurance that the Company will identify a business or asset that warrants acquisition or participation within such time limitations permissible under the policies of the Exchange, at which time the Exchange may suspend or de-list the Company's common shares from trading.
All amounts are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company, unless otherwise noted.
On October 30, 2020, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (the "Letter Agreement") to complete a proposed business combination (the "Transaction") with Omega Gold Corp. ("Omega Gold"). The Transaction will constitute the Company's "Qualifying Transaction" as defined in Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
On June 1, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Omega Gold (the "Definitive Agreement"). Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Omega Gold on a one for one basis in exchange for the Company's common shares (the "Transaction").
Omega Gold is a private British Columbia company which holds a registered and titled interest to 98.77% of the shares of Formacion Yura Exploration S.A.C., a Peruvian holding company ("Formacion Yura") that owns 100% of 16 Peruvian mineral exploration claims located near Arequipa, Peru. One additional mineral exploration claim has been leased to Omega Gold by Shiprock Peru S.A.C. until it can be formally transferred to Formacion Yura, which together with the 16 claims owned by Formacion Yura forms Omega's "Rio Bravo" concession (the "Property"). Omega's ownership interest in Formacion Yura is subject to the fulfillment of certain option payments and expenditures under the Option Agreements.
Pursuant to the Transaction, each issued and outstanding security of Omega Gold, including any issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financings described below, (collectively, the "Omega Gold Securities") will be exchanged for equivalent securities of the Company on a one-for-one basis.
Completion of the Transaction is conditional upon, among other standard conditions for a transaction of this nature: (i) Omega Gold providing a current Technical Report that is acceptable to the TSXV and the Company; (ii) Omega Gold delivering audited annual financial statements and any applicable financial statements that are acceptable to the Company and compliant with TSXV policies; (iv) Omega Gold delivering a title opinion for the Property in a form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Company; (v) receipt of all required consents and approvals for the Transaction, including from the directors and shareholders of Omega Gold, from the directors and, if required, the shareholders of the Company, and from the TSXV; (vi) completion of the Concurrent Financings (as defined below); and (vii) completion of satisfactory due diligence.
On February 25, 2022, the Company received conditional approval from the TSX-V for its proposed Transaction involving the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Omega Gold.
The outside date for completion of the Transaction, as amended, was October 31, 2022. On March 30, 2023, the Company terminated the agreement with Omega.
The Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS that are applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $566,908 since inception (December 31, 2021 - $412,024), and a net working capital deficit of $3,336 (December 31, 2021 - $122,889).
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months from working capital and if necessary, from private placement of common shares. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.
Management believes that the Company's capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital, management expects that the Company may need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
Since its incorporation on August 23, 2019, the Company has focused on the identification of a Qualifying Transaction and has incurred expenses relevant to such activity during the year ended December 31, 2022, as characterized by professional fees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company utilizes existing cash and the issuance of common shares to provide liquidity to the Company. The Company's primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue the plans of identifying and completing a Qualifying Transaction, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or by securing strategic partners.
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company's capital management approach is also disclosed in Note 8 of the financial statements.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company's cash decreased by $64,667, driven entirely by the net cash used in operating activities of $64,667.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Company has no significant contractual obligations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in the common shares of the Company involves risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this MD&A before making an investment decision.
If any of the following risks actually occurs, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company could be harmed. In such an event, the trading price of the common shares could decline, and prospective investors may lose part or all of their investment.
No Operating History
The Company was incorporated on August 23, 2019, has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash. The Company has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends and it is unlikely to produce earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions of a material asset or a business (Qualifying Transaction, or Proposed Transaction) and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. Even if a Proposed Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transaction.
No Assurance of Market for Shares
There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Company's common shares will develop, and a shareholder may find it difficult to resell its common shares.
6
Halt of Trading
Upon public announcement of a potential Proposed Transaction, trading in the common shares of the Company will be halted and will remain halted until Completion of the Proposed Transaction, or sooner pursuant to Policy 2.4. Neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the potential Proposed Transaction.
Exchange May Not Approve a Qualifying Transaction
Completion of a Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval as such terms are defined in Policy 2.4.
Notwithstanding that a transaction may meet the definition of a Proposed Transaction; the Exchange may not approve a Proposed Transaction:
(a) if the Company fails to meet the initial listing requirements prescribed by Policy 2.1 – Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange upon Completion of the Proposed Transaction;
(b) if, following Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company will be a finance company, or a mutual fund as defined under applicable securities laws;
(c) the consideration proposed to be paid by the Company in connection with the Proposed Transaction is not acceptable to the Exchange; or
(d) for any other reason at the sole discretion of the Exchange.
Approval by the Majority of the Minority
Where Majority of the Minority Approval is required, unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with the applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non-Arm's Length Proposed Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Company of fair value for the common shares.
Dilution
If the Company issues treasury shares to finance acquisition or participation opportunities, control of the Company may change, and shareholders may suffer dilution of their investment.
Directors and Officers
The Directors and Officers of the Company will not be devoting all of their time to the affairs of the Company but will be devoting such time as required to effectively manage the Company. Some of the Directors and Officers of the Company are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for assets or businesses on their own behalf or on behalf of others such that conflicts may arise from time to time. As a consequence of such conflicts, the Company may be exposed to liability and its ability to achieve its business objectives may be impaired.
Reliance on Management
The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its Directors and Officers to identify a Qualifying Transaction of merit. The success of the Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its Directors and Officers. The loss of any of its directors or officers could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company.
Foreign Acquisition
In the event the Company identifies a foreign business as a proposed transaction, shareholders may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts.
7
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. The Company's significant estimates and judgments are disclosed in Note 4 to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) 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).
Classification of financial instruments
| Financial assets: | Classification: | Subsequent measurement: |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | FVTPL | Fair value |
| Due from related party | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
| Financial liabilities: | Classification: | Subsequent measurement: |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Other financial liabilities | Amortized cost |
The Company's financial instruments with the exception of cash approximate their fair values. Cash, under the fair value hierarchy is based on Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is management is provided within Note 9 of the financial statements.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD ADOPTED
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company has determined that there were no new accounting standards, interpretations or amendments to existing accounting standards that had any effect on the Company's financial statements. Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Key management personnel include those persons having the authority and responsibility of planning, directing and executing the activities of the Company. The Company has determined that its key management personnel consist of its Executive Officers and Directors. Other related parties to the Company include companies in which key management have control or significant influence.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures ('DC&P') are intended to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by securities regulations and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management.

TSX Venture listed companies are not required to provide representations in filings relating to the establishment and maintenance of DC&P and ICFR, as defined in Multinational Instrument MI-52-109. In particular, the CEO and CFO certifying Officers do not make any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of (a) controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation, and (b) a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer's financial reporting framework. The issuer's certifying Officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in their certificates regarding absence of misrepresentations and fair disclosures of financial information.
Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying Officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in MI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

The Company's registered and records office is located at Suite 2500 - 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1B3.
The Company's continuing operations are dependent on the continued financial support of its shareholders, and the completion of a Qualifying Transaction. Any acquisition or investment proposed by the Company will be subject to regulatory approval. There is no assurance that the Company will identify a business or asset that warrants acquisition or participation within such time limitations permissible under the policies of the Exchange, at which time the Exchange may suspend or de-list the Company's common shares from trading.
All amounts are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company, unless otherwise noted.
On October 30, 2020, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (the "Letter Agreement") to complete a proposed business combination (the "Transaction") with Omega Gold Corp. ("Omega Gold"). The Transaction will constitute the Company's "Qualifying Transaction" as defined in Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
On June 1, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Omega Gold (the "Definitive Agreement"). Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Omega Gold on a one for one basis in exchange for the Company's common shares (the "Transaction").
Omega Gold is a private British Columbia company which holds a registered and titled interest to 98.77% of the shares of Formacion Yura Exploration S.A.C., a Peruvian holding company ("Formacion Yura") that owns 100% of 16 Peruvian mineral exploration claims located near Arequipa, Peru. One additional mineral exploration claim has been leased to Omega Gold by Shiprock Peru S.A.C. until it can be formally transferred to Formacion Yura, which together with the 16 claims owned by Formacion Yura forms Omega's "Rio Bravo" concession (the "Property"). Omega's ownership interest in Formacion Yura is subject to the fulfillment of certain option payments and expenditures under the Option Agreements.
Pursuant to the Transaction, each issued and outstanding security of Omega Gold, including any issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financings described below, (collectively, the "Omega Gold Securities") will be exchanged for equivalent securities of the Company on a one-for-one basis.
Completion of the Transaction is conditional upon, among other standard conditions for a transaction of this nature: (i) Omega Gold providing a current Technical Report that is acceptable to the TSXV and the Company; (ii) Omega Gold delivering audited annual financial statements and any applicable financial statements that are acceptable to the Company and compliant with TSXV policies; (iv) Omega Gold delivering a title opinion for the Property in a form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Company; (v) receipt of all required consents and approvals for the Transaction, including from the directors and shareholders of Omega Gold, from the directors and, if required, the shareholders of the Company, and from the TSXV; (vi) completion of the Concurrent Financings (as defined below); and (vii) completion of satisfactory due diligence.
On February 25, 2022, the Company received conditional approval from the TSX-V for its proposed Transaction involving the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Omega Gold.
The outside date for completion of the Transaction, as amended, was October 31, 2022. On March 30, 2023, the Company terminated the agreement with Omega.
The Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS that are applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $472,340 since inception (December 31, 2022 - $566,908), and a net working capital of $91,232 (December 31, 2022 - working capital deficit of $3,336).
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months from working capital and if necessary, from private placement of common shares. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, management expects that the Company may need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the common shares of the Company involves risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this MD&A before making an investment decision.
If any of the following risks actually occurs, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company could be harmed. In such an event, the trading price of the common shares could decline, and prospective investors may lose part or all of their investment.
No Operating History
The Company was incorporated on August 23, 2019, has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash. The Company has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends and it is unlikely to produce earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions of a material asset or a business (Qualifying Transaction, or Proposed Transaction) and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. Even if a Proposed Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transaction.
No Assurance of Market for Shares
There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Company's common shares will develop, and a shareholder may find it difficult to resell its common shares.
6
Halt of Trading
Upon public announcement of a potential Proposed Transaction, trading in the common shares of the Company will be halted and will remain halted until Completion of the Proposed Transaction, or sooner pursuant to Policy 2.4. Neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the potential Proposed Transaction.
Exchange May Not Approve a Qualifying Transaction
Completion of a Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval as such terms are defined in Policy 2.4.
Notwithstanding that a transaction may meet the definition of a Proposed Transaction; the Exchange may not approve a Proposed Transaction:
(a) if the Company fails to meet the initial listing requirements prescribed by Policy 2.1 – Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange upon Completion of the Proposed Transaction;
(b) if, following Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company will be a finance company, or a mutual fund as defined under applicable securities laws;
(c) the consideration proposed to be paid by the Company in connection with the Proposed Transaction is not acceptable to the Exchange; or
(d) for any other reason at the sole discretion of the Exchange.
Approval by the Majority of the Minority
Where Majority of the Minority Approval is required, unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with the applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non-Arm's Length Proposed Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Company of fair value for the common shares.
Dilution
If the Company issues treasury shares to finance acquisition or participation opportunities, control of the Company may change, and shareholders may suffer dilution of their investment.
Directors and Officers
The Directors and Officers of the Company will not be devoting all of their time to the affairs of the Company but will be devoting such time as required to effectively manage the Company. Some of the Directors and Officers of the Company are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for assets or businesses on their own behalf or on behalf of others such that conflicts may arise from time to time. As a consequence of such conflicts, the Company may be exposed to liability and its ability to achieve its business objectives may be impaired.
Reliance on Management
The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its Directors and Officers to identify a Qualifying Transaction of merit. The success of the Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its Directors and Officers. The loss of any of its directors or officers could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company.
Foreign Acquisition
In the event the Company identifies a foreign business as a proposed transaction, shareholders may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. The Company's significant estimates and judgments are disclosed in Note 4 to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) 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).
Classification of financial instruments
| Financial assets: | Classification: | Subsequent measurement: |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
| Due from related party | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
| Financial liabilities: | Classification: | Subsequent measurement: |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Other financial liabilities | Amortized cost |
The Company's financial instruments with the exception of cash approximate their fair values. Cash, under the fair value hierarchy is based on Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is management is provided within Note 8 of the financial statements.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD ADOPTED
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2
The IASB has issued amendments titled 'Disclosure of Accounting Policies' to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2, effective from January 1, 2023. These changes guide entities to prioritize the disclosure of 'material' over 'significant' accounting policies. The amendments provide clarity on identifying material policies, emphasizing that information can be material due to its inherent nature, even if related amounts are immaterial. Additionally, IFRS Practice Statement 2 has been enhanced to support these changes. The adoption of these amendments resulted in certain changes to the Company's accounting policy disclosures. The Company's material accounting policies are disclosed in Note 4 – Summary of Material Accounting Policies.
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying Officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in MI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company utilizes existing cash and the issuance of common shares to provide liquidity to the Company. The Company's primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue the plans of identifying and completing a Qualifying Transaction, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or by securing strategic partners.
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company's capital management approach is also disclosed in Note 7 of the unaudited interim financial statements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's cash decreased by $23,682.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Company has no significant contractual obligations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in the common shares of the Company involves risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this MD&A before making an investment decision.
If any of the following risks actually occurs, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company could be harmed. In such an event, the trading price of the common shares could decline, and prospective investors may lose part or all of their investment.
No Operating History
The Company was incorporated on August 23, 2019, has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash. The Company has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends and it is unlikely to produce earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions of a material asset or a business (Qualifying Transaction, or Proposed Transaction) and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. Even if a Proposed Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transaction.
No Assurance of Market for Shares
There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Company's common shares will develop, and a shareholder may find it difficult to resell its common shares.
Halt of Trading
Upon public announcement of a potential Proposed Transaction, trading in the common shares of the Company will be halted and will remain halted until Completion of the Proposed Transaction, or sooner pursuant to Policy 2.4. Neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the potential Proposed Transaction.
Exchange May Not Approve a Qualifying Transaction
Completion of a Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval as such terms are defined in Policy 2.4.
Notwithstanding that a transaction may meet the definition of a Proposed Transaction; the Exchange may not approve a Proposed Transaction:
(a) if the Company fails to meet the initial listing requirements prescribed by Policy 2.1 – Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange upon Completion of the Proposed Transaction;
(b) if, following Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company will be a finance company, or a mutual fund as defined under applicable securities laws;
(c) the consideration proposed to be paid by the Company in connection with the Proposed Transaction is not acceptable to the Exchange; or
(d) for any other reason at the sole discretion of the Exchange.
Approval by the Majority of the Minority
Where Majority of the Minority Approval is required, unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with the applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non-Arm's Length Proposed Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Company of fair value for the common shares.
Dilution
If the Company issues treasury shares to finance acquisition or participation opportunities, control of the Company may change, and shareholders may suffer dilution of their investment.
Directors and Officers
The Directors and Officers of the Company will not be devoting all of their time to the affairs of the Company but will be devoting such time as required to effectively manage the Company. Some of the Directors and Officers of the Company are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for assets or businesses on their own behalf or on behalf of others such that conflicts may arise from time to time. As a consequence of such conflicts, the Company may be exposed to liability and its ability to achieve its business objectives may be impaired.
Reliance on Management
The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its Directors and Officers to identify a Qualifying Transaction of merit. The success of the Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its Directors and Officers. The loss of any of its directors or officers could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company.
Foreign Acquisition
In the event the Company identifies a foreign business as a proposed transaction, shareholders may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company's unaudited interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. The Company's significant estimates and judgments are disclosed in Note 4 to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) 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).
Classification of financial instruments
| Financial assets: | Classification: | Subsequent measurement: |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | FVTPL | Fair value |
| Due from related party | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
| Financial liabilities: | Classification: | Subsequent measurement: |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Other financial liabilities | Amortized cost |
The Company's financial instruments with the exception of cash approximate their fair values. Cash, under the fair value hierarchy is based on Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is management is provided within Note 8 of the unaudited interim financial statements.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD ADOPTED
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company has determined that there were no new accounting standards, interpretations or amendments to existing accounting standards that had any effect on the Company's unaudited interim financial statements. Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's unaudited interim financial statements.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Key management personnel include those persons having the authority and responsibility of planning, directing and executing the activities of the Company. The Company has determined that its key management personnel consist of its Executive Officers and Directors. Other related parties to the Company include companies in which key management have control or significant influence. Key management personnel receive no salaries, non-cash benefits (other than incentive stock options), or other remuneration directly from the Company.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures ('DC&P') are intended to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by securities regulations and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management. Internal controls over financial reporting ('ICFR') are intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. TSX Venture listed companies are not required to provide representations in filings
relating to the establishment and maintenance of DC&P and ICFR, as defined in Multinational Instrument MI-52-109. In particular, the CEO and CFO certifying Officers do not make any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of (a) controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation, and (b) a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer's financial reporting framework. The issuer's certifying Officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in their certificates regarding absence of misrepresentations and fair disclosures of financial information.
Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying Officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in MI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 14, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a vendor whereby the Company made a cash payment of $167,890 for the settlement of $307,057 of accounts payable for professional fees in connection with the abandoned Transaction with Omega.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Board of Directors of Aeonian Resources Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Aeonian Resources Ltd. (the "Company"), which comprise the statement of financial position as at October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements which describes the material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
- Management's Discussion and Analysis
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained the other information prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
- NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Aeonian Resources Ltd. (“Aeonian” or the “Company”) was incorporated on September 15, 2020 under the laws of British Columbia, Canada.
The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests. The Company is in the exploration stage and substantially all the Company’s efforts are devoted to financing and developing these property interests. There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in unproven exploration and evaluation assets contain economically recoverable mineral resources.
The Company’s head office is located at Suite 330 – 470 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of compliance
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 14, 2025.
Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
Functional and presentation currency
The Company’s reporting and functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the statements of financial position date, while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Expenses are translated at the average rates over the reporting period. Gains and losses from these translations are included in profit or loss.
Going concern
The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of its resource properties and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively, upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying values. Such adjustments could be material.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As at October 31, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $610,965 (2023 - $346,644), has a working capital deficiency of $7,270 (2023 - working capital of $143,257) and has incurred significant losses. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The recovery of amounts capitalized for exploration and evaluation assets at October 31, 2024 and 2023 in the statements of financial position is dependent upon the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing to complete the development and continued exploration of the properties. The Company plans to raise funds primarily through the issuance of shares or obtain profitable operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Exploration and evaluation assets ("E&E" assets)
Pre-exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, the Company capitalizes costs related to the exploration of E&E assets. These costs include purchase cost, mineral lease, staking costs, filing fees, drilling, assaying, geological, geophysical, technical studies and any other exploratory activities. E&E assets for which commercially viable reserves have been identified are reclassified to development assets. They are tested for impairment immediately prior to reclassification out of E&E assets. When an unproven mineral interest is abandoned, all related expenditures are written off to operations for the period.
The Company recognizes mineral exploration tax credits when the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and the collection is reasonably assured.
Impairment of non-current assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for any amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Value in use is determined as the present value of the estimated future pre-tax cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and from its ultimate disposal. The Company reviews impairment on non-financial assets for possible reversal when events or circumstances warrant such consideration.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)
Provision for environmental rehabilitation
The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of exploration and evaluation assets and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future rehabilitation cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of site preparation work is capitalized to the assets along with a corresponding increase in the rehabilitation provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The rehabilitation asset is amortized on the same basis as mining assets.
The Company’s estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to mining assets with a corresponding entry to the rehabilitation provision. The Company’s estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates. Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Company’s estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to profit or loss for the period.
Share purchase warrants
When the warrants are issued attached to a share as part of a private placement unit, their fair value is determined using the residual value method.
Warrants that are issued as compensation for goods or services are accounted for as share-based compensation.
When share purchase warrants are exercised, the cash proceeds and any amount previously recorded in equity reserves are recorded as share capital.
Flow-through Shares
The Company will, from time to time, issue flow-through common shares to finance a significant portion of its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share subscription agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. On issuance, proceeds are allocated first to share capital up to the fair value of the common shares at the time of issuance, determined by referenced to the quoted market price of the common shares on the issuance date or the concurrent non-flow through share price, with the residual amount of proceeds, if any, allocated to a flow-through share premium. The flow-through share premium represents the estimated premium investors pay for the flow-through feature and is recognized as a liability. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes a deferred tax liability for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders. The premium is recognized as other income and the related deferred tax is recognized as a tax provision.
Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two-year period. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expended at the end of the Company’s fiscal period is disclosed separately as a flow-through share commitment.
The Company may also be subject to a Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds renounced under the “Look-back” rule, in accordance with Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)
Loss per share
The Company computes the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments on loss per common share from the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive. Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Income taxes
Income taxes comprise current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year using enacted tax rates at the reporting date. Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, except for temporary differences in assets and liabilities arising in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, transactions relating to investments in jointly controlled entities to the extent that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future, and transactions arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply when the assets are recovered and the liabilities settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which they can be used.
Financial instruments
Cash is classified as at fair value through profit or loss, and measured at fair value. Reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and loan are classified as at amortized cost, initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Management judgments and estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management’s use of estimates, assumptions and judgment that impact the Company’s reported financial results. These estimates are based on past experiences and expectations of future events. Uncertainty on these judgments could result in material differences of the carrying amounts in the Company’s financial position.
The key judgments and estimates that affect the financial statements are:
Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets (E&E assets)
The Company carries out an impairment assessment on its E&E assets when circumstances indicate their carrying values may exceed their recoverable amounts. The process of determining the impairment involves significant judgment and estimation on the recoverability of the E&E assets as it relies on both an interpretation of geological and technical data as well as market conditions including commodity prices, investor sentiment and global financing. As new information comes up, the recoverable amounts of the assets and the impairment loss may differ from these judgments and estimates.

Management judgments and estimates (cont'd...)
Interest rate
The Company estimates a market interest rate in determining the fair value of the loan payable. The determination of market interest rate is subjective and could materially affect the fair value estimate.
Flow-through expenditures
The Company is required to spend proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares on qualifying resource expenditures. Differences in judgment between management and regulatory authorities with respect to qualifying expenditures may result in disallowed expenditures by the tax authorities. Any amount disallowed may result in the Company’s required expenditures not being fulfilled which may lead to potential liabilities. As of October 31, 2024 and 2023, there has been no qualifying expenditures disallowed by tax authorities.
New, amended and future accounting pronouncements
The following amendments of accounting standards are effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning November 1, 2023:
On February 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 to clarify how reporting entities should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The amendments include a definition of “accounting estimates” as well as other amendments to IAS 8 that will help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. This distinction between these two types of changes is important as changes in accounting policies are normally applied retrospectively to past transactions and events, whereas changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively to future transactions and events. The adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company.
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IFRS Practice Statement 2 “Making Materiality Judgements” aiming to improve accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1 require reporting entities to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2 provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. The adoption of these amendments reduced the disclosure of its accounting policies.
The following standards are effective for future periods:
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued a new standard – IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:
- the structure of the statement of profit or loss;
- required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (that is, management-defined performance measures); and
- enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1; many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and also applies to comparative information.
Adoption of IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but it might change what an entity reports as its “operating profit or loss”.

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
The Koocanusa Property consists of 38 mining claims located in Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada. During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Company incurred staking cost of $Nil (2023 - $14,568). As of October 31, 2024, the cumulative staking cost is $40,481 (2023 - $40,481).
On September 1, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with R7 Capital Ventures Ltd. ("R7") to purchase certain claims. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company paid $15,000 and issued 2,500,000 units with each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.07 per share for a 3-year term. The units were valued at $125,000.
On July 3, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Earthwise Minerals Corp. pursuant to which the Company paid $10,000 and incurred $8,000 in exploration expenditures.

Title to resource properties
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to exploration properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Reclamation bonds
During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Company paid $12,000 to Kootenay Silver Inc. who transferred its permit deposits to the Company.

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (cont'd...)
Realization of assets
The investment in and expenditures on exploration properties comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the establishment of legal ownership, the attainment of successful production from the properties or from the proceeds of their disposal. Resource exploration and development is highly speculative and involves inherent risks. While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore.
The amounts shown for acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures represent costs incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values. These costs will be depleted over the useful lives of the properties upon commencement of commercial production or written off if the properties are abandoned or the claims are permitted to lapse.
Environmental
The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company. Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the resource properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.
5. LONG-TERM LOAN
On May 15, 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Strata Geodata Services (“SGDS-Hive”), a company controlled by the Company’s CEO and director Andy Randell. Pursuant to the loan agreement, SGDS-Hive settled $267,281 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for a cash payment of $20,000 (paid) and a loan in the amount of $180,000, resulting in a gain on debt settlement of $67,281 ($64,075 net of GST). The loan will be repaid according to the following schedule:
(a) $80,000 on or before May 15, 2025, the second anniversary of this agreement; and
(b) $100,000 on or before May 15, 2026, the third anniversary of this agreement.
The loan bears no interest and is unsecured.
For accounting purposes, the Company valued the principal amount of the loan by calculating the present value of principal at a discount rate of 25%. The carrying value of the debt is subsequently accreted to the face value of $180,000 as stated in the loan agreement at an annualized effective interest rate of 25%. The Company recorded a gain on loan forgiveness of $141,675 during the year ended October 31, 2023, which consists of $64,075 of loan principal forgiven and $77,600 of impact on discounting.
During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Company repaid $18,000 to SGDS-Hive. On July 31, 2024, the agreement was amended to change the repayment date of the loan balance of $162,000 to on or before July 31, 2026. For accounting purposes, the Company recorded a gain of $11,162 on the loan extinguishment. The Company revalued the loan balance of $162,000 by calculating the present value of the balance at a discount rate of 25%. The carrying value of the debt is subsequently accreted to the face value of $162,000 at an annualized effective interest rate of 25%.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:
| October 31, 2024 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets at FVTPL | |||
| Cash | $ 120,770 | $ - | $ - |
| October 31, 2023 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| Financial assets at FVTPL | |||
| Cash | $ 118,604 | $ - | $ - |
Financial risk management
The Company’s objective in risk management is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern. It is exposed to the following risks:
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company might not be able to meet its obligations and commitments as they come due. As at October 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $120,770 (2023 - $118,604) and a working capital deficiency of $7,270 (2023 – working capital of $143,257).

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd...)
Liquidity risk (cont'd...)
The Company intends to continue relying on the issuance of securities to finance its future activities; however, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on a timely basis under terms acceptable to the Company.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash held with financial institutions as well as credit exposure on outstanding receivables. The Company’s cash is held at high-credit rating financial institutions. Receivables only consist of refundable government goods and services tax. The Company has minimal credit risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices.
i. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from changes in market rates of interest that could adversely affect the Company. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is insignificant.
ii. Foreign exchange risk
As at October 31, 2024 and 2023, the majority of the Company’s cash was held in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and reporting currency. The majority of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars. Currency risk is not significant.
iii. Equity price risk
Equity price risk arises from market fluctuations in equity prices that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. The Company’s current exposure to equity price risk is limited to declines in the values and volumes including those of its own shares, which could impede its ability to raise additional funds when required.
9. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Exploration update
Exploration by Aeonian on the Koocanusa Project commenced in August 2020 with field visits to the known mineral occurrences on the Property. Additional lithological mapping and sampling across the property combined with a compilation of prior work led Aeonian to identify a Cu trend. This trend appears to follow a stratigraphic horizon in siltstone near the base of the Gateway Formation and is referred to as the Koo Trend by Aeonian. Later in June 2021, a program of lithological mapping, grab sampling, soil sampling, and ground geophysical surveying was conducted along the Koo Trend which confirmed the presence of disseminated copper mineralization in bedrock.
The most recent work on the Koocanusa Property was a UAV magnetic surveying carried out over six different grids on the property during May 2023. The magnetic interpretation maps indicate prominent lineations of magnetic lows striking in different directions. These are indicative of geological structure such as faults, shear zones, and/or contacts and thus are exploration targets, especially where they intersect. They reflect zones of weakness which are conducive to the pooling of mineralizing fluids.
Independent professional geologist, Afzaal Pirzada PGeo., visited the Property on March 27, 2023, and July 17, 2023, to verify the previous exploration work on the property, to view local geological conditions, rock outcrops, local structural trends, and controls of mineralization. Four grab rock samples were collected during March 2023 visit. The results of samples indicate copper values in the range of 113 parts per million (ppm) to 456 ppm indicating a potential for sedimentary copper style of mineralization. These values are consistent with historical and current sampling data on the Property. Pirzada authored an updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Koocanusa Property with an effective date of November 20, 2024.
Based on his observations, Pirzada stated that “based on its past exploration history, favourable geological and tectonic setting, presence of surface mineralization, and the results of present study, it is concluded that the Property is a property of merit and possesses a good potential discovery of sedimentary copper and other mineralization. Good road access, nearby powerlines, and gas lines together with abundant availability of exploration and mining services in the vicinity makes it a worthy mineral exploration target. The historical and current exploration data collected by various operators on the Property provides the basis for follow-up work programs. In the Author’s opinion, the character of the Koocanusa Gold Property is sufficient to merit the following phased work program, where the second phase is contingent upon the results of the first phase.”
The Phase One program recommended would consist of building on target zones through additional mapping, soil sampling and geophysical survey work, which was given an estimated budget of $204,380. Phase Two would expand on favourable

Management Discussion and Analysis
For the year ended October 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
The major items were as follows:
- Accretion and interest of $25,601 (2023 - $11,134) is related to the $180,000 long term loan agreement entered into with the CEO and director of the Company on May 15, 2023 and interest charge of $3,546 (2023 - $Nil) from suppliers.
During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $11,162 on loan extinguishment, as the Company amended the loan repayment terms. During the comparative year ended October 31, 2023, the Company also recognized a gain on loan forgiveness of $141,675 which consists of $64,075 of loan principal forgiven and $77,600 of interest forgiven on the loan.
-
Corporate and shareholder communication of $2,178 (2023 - $118,928) consists of expenses related to activities creating awareness for the Company and its projects. The higher expenses in the comparative year are due to the Company’s financing activities and the extension of some marketing contracts from the prior year.
-
Consulting of $Nil (2023 - $34,138) is mainly paid to a company controlled by a director for general geological consulting service that is not related to Koocanusa Property.
-
Management fees consist of $4,000 (2023 - $35,000) paid to the President and director of the Company, $Nil (2023 - $12,500) to the Corporate Secretary and director of the Company.
-
Professional fees of $229,501 (2023 - $51,255) mainly consists of $87,750 (2023 - $Nil) of audit related fees, $104,888 (2023 - $21,206) of legal fees, $29,863 (2023 - $26,987) of accounting fees paid to the CFO of the Company and $7,000 (2023 - $Nil) for tax preparation and filing.

QUARTERLY INFORMATION
The Company was not a reporting issuer as at October 31, 2024 and as a result quarterly reporting is not required.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN
The Company is in the exploration stage and no revenue has been generated to date. As at October 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $120,770 (2023 - $118,604) and a working capital deficiency of $7,270 (2023 – working capital of $143,257).
In the past, operating capital and exploration requirements have been funded primarily from equity financing and the Company will need to arrange equity or other financings in order to continue in operation. While the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to the Company in the amount required or that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. The Company’s current financial situation indicates material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Cash Flows
In operating activities, the Company used $97,189 in the year ended October 31, 2024, as compared with $154,298 in the comparative year ended October 31, 2023.

The Company intends to continue relying on the issuance of securities to finance its future activities; however, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on a timely basis under terms acceptable to the Company.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash held with financial institutions as well as credit exposure on outstanding receivables. The Company’s cash is held at high-credit rating financial institutions. Receivables only consist of refundable government goods and services tax. The Company has minimal credit risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices.
i. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from changes in market rates of interest that could adversely affect the Company. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is insignificant.
ii. Foreign exchange risk
As at October 31, 2024 and 2023, the majority of the Company’s cash was held in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and reporting currency. The majority of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars. Currency risk is not significant.
iii. Equity price risk
Equity price risk arises from market fluctuations in equity prices that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. The Company’s current exposure to equity price risk is limited to declines in the values and volumes including those of its

own shares, which could impede its ability to raise additional funds when required.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company’s business is the exploration and development of mineral properties. As a result, the Company’s operations are speculative. The Company has no history of profitable operations, and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources, and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment.
Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, receipt of adequate financing; correct interpretation of geological data; feasibility and other studies; the particular nature of the mineral deposit, such as size grade, metallurgy and physical structure; expected and real metal recoveries; proximity to infrastructure and labour; the cost of water and power; climactic conditions; metal prices; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and metal prices; timely granting of necessary permits; government regulations and taxes; and environmental protection and regulations. The effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted, but in combination these risk factors may adversely affect the Company’s business.
The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not inclusive of all risks and uncertainties to which the Company may be subject. Furthermore, the Company may face additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company and its management or risks currently seen as immaterial may impair the Company’s business in the future.
Early Stage - Need for Additional Funds - The Company has no history of profitable operations, and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources, and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders’ investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.
Exploration and Development Risks - Resource property acquisition, exploration, development, and operation are a highly speculative business that involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of precious metals and other minerals may result in substantial rewards, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to locate and establish economically viable mineral deposits, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the acquisition, exploration or development programs planned by the Company will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. The potential for any project to eventually become an economically viable operation depends on numerous factors including: the quantity and quality of the minerals discovered if any, the proximity to infrastructure, metal and mineral prices (which vary considerably over time) and government regulations. The exact effect these factors can have on any given exploration property cannot accurately be predicted but the effect can be materially adverse.
Environmental Risk - Current or future environmental laws and regulations may affect the operations of the Company. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality. They provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to rehabilitate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. Furthermore, the permission to operate could be withdrawn temporarily where there is evidence of serious breaches of health and safety, or even permanently in the case of extreme breaches. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damages caused by previous owners of acquired properties or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. The Company intends to minimize these risks by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and operating to international environmental standards.
Commodity Prices - The market price of precious metals and other minerals is volatile and cannot be controlled.
Conflicts - The Company’s directors and officers serve as directors or officers or may be associated with other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other public companies. To the extent that such other companies may participate in business or asset acquisitions, dispositions, or ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors
AEONIAN RESOURCES LTD.
Management Discussion and Analysis
For the year ended October 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
and officers of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the transaction.
Dependence on Key Personnel - The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management's services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company.
Competition - The mineral industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with many other mineral exploration companies who have greater financial resources and technical capacity.
Political Risk - The Company’s operations and investments may be affected by local political and economic developments including: expropriation; nationalization; invalidation of governmental orders; permits or agreements pertaining to property rights; failure to enforce existing laws; failure to uphold property rights; political unrest; labour disputes; inability to obtain or delays in obtaining necessary mining permits; opposition to mining from local, environmental or other non-governmental organizations; government participation; royalties, duties, rates of exchange, high rates of inflation, price controls, exchange controls, currency fluctuations; taxation and changes in laws, regulations or policies; as well as by laws and policies of Canada affecting foreign trade, investment and taxation.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Financial Statements
For the three months ended January 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
(Unaudited)
- NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Aeonian Resources Ltd. (“Aeonian” or the “Company”) was incorporated on September 15, 2020 under the laws of British Columbia, Canada.
The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests. The Company is in the exploration stage and substantially all the Company’s efforts are devoted to financing and developing these property interests. There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in unproven exploration and evaluation assets contain economically recoverable mineral resources.
The Company’s head office is located at Suite 330 – 470 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of compliance
These unaudited interim condensed financial statements, including comparatives that are unaudited, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those used in the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2024 except for income tax expense which is recognized and disclosed for the full financial year in the audited financial statements.
These interim condensed financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors on April 14, 2025.
Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
Functional and presentation currency
The Company’s reporting and functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the statements of financial position date, while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Expenses are translated at the average rates over the reporting period. Gains and losses from these translations are included in profit or loss.
Going concern
The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of its resource properties and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively, upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying values. Such adjustments could be material.

- BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont'd...)
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As at January 31, 2025, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $653,819 (October 31, 2024 - $610,965), has a working capital deficiency of $17,558 (October 31, 2024 - $7,270) and has incurred significant losses. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The recovery of amounts capitalized for exploration and evaluation assets at January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 in the statements of financial position is dependent upon the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing to complete the development and continued exploration of the properties. The Company plans to raise funds primarily through the issuance of shares or obtain profitable operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
- MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These Interim Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those used in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2024. The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the period ended January 31, 2025.
The significant estimates and judgments are the same as those disclosed in the Company's annual audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2024.
- EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
The Koocanusa Property consists of 38 mining claims located in Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada. As of January 31, 2025, the cumulative staking cost is $40,481 (October 31, 2024 - $40,481).
On September 1, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with R7 Capital Ventures Ltd. ("R7") to purchase certain claims. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company paid $15,000 and issued 2,500,000 units with each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.07 per share for a 3-year term. The units were valued at $125,000.
On July 3, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Earthwise Minerals Corp. pursuant to which the Company paid $10,000 and incurred $8,000 in exploration expenditures.

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (cont'd...)
Title to resource properties
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to exploration properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Reclamation bonds
During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Company paid $12,000 to Kootenay Silver Inc. who transferred its permit deposits to the Company.
Realization of assets
The investment in and expenditures on exploration properties comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the establishment of legal ownership, the attainment of successful production from the properties or from the proceeds of their disposal. Resource exploration and development is highly speculative and involves inherent risks. While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore.
The amounts shown for acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures represent costs incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values. These costs will be depleted over the useful lives of the properties upon commencement of commercial production or written off if the properties are abandoned or the claims are permitted to lapse.
Environmental
The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company. Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the resource properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.

5. LONG-TERM LOAN
On May 15, 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Strata Geodata Services ("SGDS-Hive"), a company controlled by the Company's CEO and director Andy Randell. Pursuant to the loan agreement, SGDS-Hive settled $267,281 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for a cash payment of $20,000 (paid) and a loan in the amount of $180,000 that will be repaid according to the following schedule:
(a) $80,000 on or before May 15, 2025, the second anniversary of this agreement; and
(b) $100,000 on or before May 15, 2026, the third anniversary of this agreement.
The loan bears no interest and is unsecured.
For accounting purposes, the Company valued the principal amount of the loan by calculating the present value of principal at a discount rate of 25%. The carrying value of the debt is subsequently accreted to the face value of $180,000 as stated in the loan agreement at an annualized effective interest rate of 25%.
During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Company repaid $18,000 to SGDS-Hive. On July 31, 2024, the agreement was amended to change the repayment date of the loan balance of $162,000 to on or before July 31, 2026. For accounting purposes, the Company recorded a gain of $11,162 on the loan extinguishment. The Company revalued the loan balance of $162,000 by calculating the present value of the balance at a discount rate of 25%. The carrying value of the debt is subsequently accreted to the face value of $162,000 at an annualized effective interest rate of 25%.
The long-term loan activities during the three months ended January 31, 2025 and the year ended October, 2024 are as follows:
| Loan | ||

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:
| October 31, 2024 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets at FVTPL | |||
| Cash | $ 120,770 | $ - | $ - |

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd...)
Financial risk management (cont'd...)
The Company’s objective in risk management is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern. It is exposed to the following risks:
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company might not be able to meet its obligations and commitments as they come due. As at January 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $148,280 (October 31, 2024 - $120,770) and a working capital deficiency of $17,558 (October 31, 2024 - $7,270).
The Company intends to continue relying on the issuance of securities to finance its future activities; however, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on a timely basis under terms acceptable to the Company.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash held with financial institutions as well as credit exposure on outstanding receivables. The Company’s cash is held at high-credit rating financial institutions. Receivables only consist of refundable government goods and services tax. The Company has minimal credit risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices.
i. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from changes in market rates of interest that could adversely affect the Company. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is insignificant.
ii. Foreign exchange risk
As at January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the majority of the Company’s cash was held in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and reporting currency. The majority of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars. Currency risk is not significant.
iii. Equity price risk
Equity price risk arises from market fluctuations in equity prices that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. The Company’s current exposure to equity price risk is limited to declines in the values and volumes including those of its own shares, which could impede its ability to raise additional funds when required.
9. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s capital management objective is to ensure its ability to continue as a going concern to meet its operational obligations and to maintain capital access to fund its mineral exploration activities in British Columbia, Canada.
The capital that the Company manages is the total of liabilities and equity on the statements of financial position. The Company may modify the capital structure to meet its funding needs by issuing new equity shares and/or debt instruments, disposing of assets or bringing in joint venture partners. To facilitate the management of its capital, the Company prepares annual budgets approved by the Board of Directors. The budget is reviewed and updated periodically to account for changes in the expenditures and economic conditions. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the three months ended January 31, 2025.

Exploration update
Exploration by Aeonian on the Koocanusa Project commenced in August 2020 with field visits to the known mineral occurrences on the Property. Additional lithological mapping and sampling across the property combined with a compilation of prior work led Aeonian to identify a Cu trend. This trend appears to follow a stratigraphic horizon in siltstone near the base of the Gateway Formation and is referred to as the Koo Trend by Aeonian. Later in June 2021, a program of lithological mapping, grab sampling, soil sampling, and ground geophysical surveying was conducted along the Koo Trend which confirmed the presence of disseminated copper mineralization in bedrock.
The most recent work on the Koocanusa Property was a UAV magnetic surveying carried out over six different grids on the property during May 2023. The magnetic interpretation maps indicate prominent lineations of magnetic lows striking in different directions. These are indicative of geological structure such as faults, shear zones, and/or contacts and thus are exploration targets, especially where they intersect. They reflect zones of weakness which are conducive to the pooling of mineralizing fluids.
Independent professional geologist, Afzaal Pirzada PGeo., visited the Property on March 27, 2023, and July 17, 2023, to verify the previous exploration work on the property, to view local geological conditions, rock outcrops, local structural trends, and controls of mineralization. Four grab rock samples were collected during March 2023 visit. The results of samples indicate copper values in the range of 113 parts per million (ppm) to 456 ppm indicating a potential for sedimentary copper style of mineralization. These values are consistent with historical and current sampling data on the Property. Pirzada authored an updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Koocanusa Property with an effective date of November 20, 2024.
Based on his observations, Pirzada stated that “based on its past exploration history, favourable geological and tectonic setting, presence of surface mineralization, and the results of present study, it is concluded that the Property is a property of merit and possesses a good potential discovery of sedimentary copper and other mineralization. Good road access, nearby powerlines, and gas lines together with abundant availability of exploration and mining services in the vicinity makes it a worthy mineral exploration target. The historical and current exploration data collected by various operators on the Property provides the basis for follow-up work programs. In the Author’s opinion, the character of the Koocanusa Gold Property is sufficient to merit the following phased work program, where the second phase is contingent upon the results of the first phase.”
The Phase One program recommended would consist of building on target zones through additional mapping, soil sampling and geophysical survey work, which was given an estimated budget of $204,380. Phase Two would expand on favourable targets with drilling and trenching activities to recover core and test grades and continuity at depth.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
QUARTERLY INFORMATION
The Company was not a reporting issuer as at January 31, 2025 and as a result quarterly reporting is not required.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN
The Company is in the exploration stage and no revenue has been generated to date. As at January 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $148,280 (October 31, 2024 - $120,770) and a working capital deficiency of $17,558 (October 31, 2024 - $7,270).
In the past, operating capital and exploration requirements have been funded primarily from equity financing and the Company will need to arrange equity or other financings in order to continue in operation. While the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to the Company in the amount required or that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. The Company's current financial situation indicates material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Cash Flows
In operating activities, the Company used cash of $1,140 in the three months ended January 31, 2025, as compared with a cash outflow of $28,317 in the comparative three months ended January 31, 2024.
In investing activities, the Company used cash of $20,000 in the three months ended January 31, 2025, as compared with a cash outflow of $Nil in the comparative three months ended January 31, 2024.
In financing activities, the Company completed a flow-through financing by issuing 1,300,000 share units at $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $130,000. The Company paid $1,350 cash finder's fees. There were no financing activities during the comparative three months ended January 31, 2024.
Long term loan with the CEO and director of the Company
On May 15, 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Strata Geodata Services ("SGDS-Hive"), a company controlled by the Company's CEO and director Andy Randell. Pursuant to the loan agreement, SGDS-Hive forgave $267,281 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in return for a cash payment of $20,000 (paid) and a loan in the amount of $180,000 that will be repaid according to the following schedule:

Management Discussion and Analysis
For the three months ended January 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash held with financial institutions as well as credit exposure on outstanding receivables. The Company's cash is held at high-credit rating financial institutions. Receivables only consist of refundable government goods and services tax. The Company has minimal credit risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices.
i. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from changes in market rates of interest that could adversely affect the Company. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is insignificant.
ii. Foreign exchange risk
As at January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the majority of the Company's cash was held in Canadian dollars, the Company's functional and reporting currency. The majority of the Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars. Currency risk is not significant.
iii. Equity price risk
Equity price risk arises from market fluctuations in equity prices that could adversely affect the Company's operations. The Company's current exposure to equity price risk is limited to declines in the values and volumes including those of its own shares, which could impede its ability to raise additional funds when required.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company's business is the exploration and development of mineral properties. As a result, the Company's operations are speculative. The Company has no history of profitable operations, and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources, and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment.
Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, receipt of adequate financing; correct interpretation of geological data; feasibility and other studies; the particular nature of the mineral deposit, such as size grade, metallurgy and physical structure; expected and real metal recoveries; proximity to infrastructure and labour; the cost of water and power; climactic conditions; metal prices; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and metal prices; timely granting of necessary permits; government regulations and taxes; and environmental protection and regulations. The effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted, but in combination these risk factors may adversely affect the Company's business.
The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not inclusive of all risks and uncertainties to which the Company may be subject. Furthermore, the Company may face additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company and its management or risks currently seen as immaterial may impair the Company's business in the future.
Early Stage - Need for Additional Funds - The Company has no history of profitable operations, and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources, and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.
Exploration and Development Risks - Resource property acquisition, exploration, development, and operation are a highly speculative business that involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of precious metals and other minerals may result in substantial rewards, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to locate and establish economically viable mineral deposits, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and

processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the acquisition, exploration or development programs planned by the Company will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. The potential for any project to eventually become an economically viable operation depends on numerous factors including: the quantity and quality of the minerals discovered if any, the proximity to infrastructure, metal and mineral prices (which vary considerably over time) and government regulations. The exact effect these factors can have on any given exploration property cannot accurately be predicted but the effect can be materially adverse.
Environmental Risk - Current or future environmental laws and regulations may affect the operations of the Company. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality. They provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to rehabilitate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. Furthermore, the permission to operate could be withdrawn temporarily where there is evidence of serious breaches of health and safety, or even permanently in the case of extreme breaches. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damages caused by previous owners of acquired properties or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. The Company intends to minimize these risks by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and operating to international environmental standards.
Commodity Prices - The market price of precious metals and other minerals is volatile and cannot be controlled.
Conflicts - The Company's directors and officers serve as directors or officers or may be associated with other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other public companies. To the extent that such other companies may participate in business or asset acquisitions, dispositions, or ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors and officers of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the transaction.
Dependence on Key Personnel - The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management's services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company.
Competition - The mineral industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with many other mineral exploration companies who have greater financial resources and technical capacity.
Political Risk - The Company's operations and investments may be affected by local political and economic developments including: expropriation; nationalization; invalidation of governmental orders; tariffs, permits or agreements pertaining to property rights; failure to enforce existing laws; failure to uphold property rights; political unrest; labour disputes; inability to obtain or delays in obtaining necessary mining permits; opposition to mining from local, environmental or other non-governmental organizations; government participation; royalties, duties, rates of exchange, high rates of inflation, price controls, exchange controls, currency fluctuations; taxation and changes in laws, regulations or policies; as well as by laws and policies of Canada affecting foreign trade, investment and taxation.

NOTES TO PRO-FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars – Unaudited)
- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Altina Capital Corp. (TSX-V: ALTN.P) (the “Company” or “Altina”) was incorporated on August 23, 2019 under the laws of British Columbia and is a Capital Pool Company as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) Policy 2.4. On September 21, 2020, the Company completed its initial public offering. The Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the TSX-V under the trading symbol ALTN.P. The head office and the records and registered office is located at 25th Floor, 700 W Georgia St. Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1B3.
The unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared by management for disclosure in the filing statement of Altina dated April 14, 2025, in conjunction with the acquisition of 100% interest in Aeonian Resources Ltd. (“Aeonian”).
This unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position has been compiled in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), applied on a basis consistent with Aeonian’s accounting policies.
The unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations which would have resulted if the combination had actually occurred as set out in Note 2.
The unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the following:
i) the interim financial statements of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2024; and
ii) the interim financial statements of Aeonian for the three months ended January 31, 2025.
The unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared assuming the acquisition and associated financings as described in Notes 2 and 3 closed on September 30, 2024.
It is management’s opinion that this unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position includes all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the acquisition. The unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position is not intended to reflect the financial position or results of operations of the Company, which would have actually resulted had the acquisition been effected on the dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded upon consummation of the acquisition will differ from those recorded in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position and the differences may be material.
- PROPOSED SHARE EXCHANGE
Further to the non-binding letter of intent on February 11, 2024, on March 27, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive Amalgamation Agreement (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) with Aeonian to proceed with a proposed qualifying transaction involving the merger of the Company and Aeonian. The Amalgamation Agreement was further amended and restated on November 15, 2024.
Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, Altina will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Aeonian on a one for one basis, resulting in a reverse takeover of Altina. Not including securities to be issued under the Concurrent Financing (defined below), former shareholders of Aeonian will hold, in aggregate, at least 23,902,100 common shares, representing approximately 75% of the 31,902,100 common shares (on a non-diluted basis) of the combined company (the "Resulting Issuer") expected to be outstanding after completion of the proposed transaction.
Because the former shareholders of Aeonian will obtain control of the Resulting Issuer, the transaction is considered a purchase of Altina’s operation by Aeonian and is accounted for as a reverse acquisition.
After the completion of the proposed transaction, Altina will change its name to “Aeonian Resources Corp.”.

3. PRO-FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position was prepared based on the following assumptions:
a) The unaudited pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position gives effect to the transactions as if they had been in effect as at September 30, 2024.
b) The Company completes a private placement of issuing 7,710,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $771,000 ($149,000 received as of September 30, 2024). Each unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable to acquire one additional share at an exercise price of $0.15 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The Company paid $14,500 finders’ fee and issued 145,000 finders’ warrants that are valued at $8,035 as determined by using Black Scholes model.
c) The Company incurs $79,600 of legal, accounting, audit and filing fees in relation with this transaction.
d) The transaction will constitute a reverse takeover. Although Altina will be regarded as the legal parent and continuing company, Aeonian will be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Consequently, Aeonian will be deemed to be a continuation of the reporting entity, and control of the assets and operations of Altina will be deemed to have been acquired in consideration for the issuance of the Resulting Issuer’s shares to the former shareholders of Altina. At the time of the transaction, Altina will not constitute a business as defined under IFRS 3 Business Combination; therefore, the transaction will be accounted for under IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment, where the difference between the consideration given to acquire Altina and the net assets of Altina assumed is recorded as listing expense. The net assets assumed pursuant to the acquisition are as follows:
| Fair value of consideration | |
|---|---|
| Fair value of 8,000,000 Altina common shares at $0.10 per share | $ 800,000 |
| Fair value of 800,000 Altina options revalued (see note e below) | 70,714 |
| Total purchase consideration | 870,714 |
| Net assets acquired | 44,909 |
| Listing expense | $ 825,805 |
The net assets of Altina assumed of $44,909 are recognized initially at fair value. It is assumed the carrying amounts of Altina’s net assets approximates their fair value.
