Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of AJN Resources Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of AJN Resources Inc. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at July 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in shareholders' deficiency for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 1 to the financial statements, which describes events or conditions that indicate 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 period. 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 report.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in 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 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 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.
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 Rakesh Patel.

AJN RESOURCES INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
AJN Resources Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on September 1, 2016. On June 12, 2018, the Company listed its shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol "AJN", and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "5AT". The address of the Company's registered office and principal place of business is Suite 1400 - 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3T5, Canada.
The Company's primary business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company's mineral properties comprise the potential exploration permits (the "Kabunda South Project" and the "Manono Northeast Project") located in the Manono Territory, Tanganyika Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") and the Okote Gold Project ("Okote Gold Project") located in Adola Gold Belt in the Oromia Regional State of southern Ethiopia. The Company's exploration and evaluation assets (Note 6) do not presently host any known mineral deposits and given the high degree of risk involved, there can be no assurance that its exploration activities will result in mineral deposits being located or, ultimately, a profitable mining operation in the future.
On February 8, 2022, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary AJN Resources Congo SASU ("AJN Congo"), entered into a memorandum of understanding (the "MoU") with the DRC to acquire a number of exploration permits in the Kilo Moto Gold Belt in North-East DRC. In connection with the MoU, the DRC has established a wholly owned subsidiary Congo Ressources SAU ("Congo Ressources") to acquire a 100% interest in certain claims in the area. AJN Congo will have the option to acquire Congo Ressources in exchange for common shares of the Company representing 60% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. As at July 31, 2025, the Company awaits the transfer of permits to Congo Ressources as per the MoU.
These consolidated financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 (the "financial statements") have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,061,314 (2024 - $4,207,375). As at July 31, 2025, the Company has current liabilities in excess of current assets of $1,412,741 (July 31, 2024 - $1,594,940), and accumulated deficit of $13,453,430 (July 31, 2024 - $11,392,116). The Company has no source of operating cash flows, and there is no assurance that sufficient funding (including adequate financing) will be available to conduct required exploration and development of its mineral property projects. These factors indicate a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, asset and liability realization values may be substantially different from their carrying values. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
a) Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Company's Board of Directors on November 28, 2025.
b) Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
AJN RESOURCES INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted)
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
c) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The functional currency of AJN Congo is the United States dollar. References to "USD" or "US$" are to United States dollars.
d) Basis of consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, AJN Congo, which is located in Kinshasa, DRC. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation. Control exists where the parent entity has power over the investee and is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in the preparation of these financial statements.
a) Cash
Cash is comprised of cash in banks of high credit worthiness within Canada and the DRC.
b) Financial instruments
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") or at amortized cost. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
The following table shows the classification of the Company's financial instruments under IFRS 9 Financial instruments:
| Financial assets | Classification |
|---|---|
| Cash | Amortized cost |
| Deposits | Amortized cost |
| Financial liabilities | |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Interest payable | Amortized cost |
| Convertible debenture | Amortized cost |
| Loans payable | Amortized cost |
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.
Financial assets at FVTOCI
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive loss. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted)
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as held at amortized cost. Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date.
Financial assets are derecognized when they mature or are sold, and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
c) Exploration and evaluation expenditures
Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, acquisition costs are recognized and capitalized. Costs directly related to exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed as incurred. These costs include such costs as materials used, surveying costs, drilling costs, payments made to contractors and depreciation on equipment during the exploration phase. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the period in which they occur.
The Company assesses exploration and evaluation assets for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount. When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditure costs, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written off.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is classified as 'mines under construction'. Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.
As the Company currently has no operational income, any incidental revenues earned in connection with exploration activities are applied as a reduction to capitalized exploration costs.
d) Equipment
Equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of equipment consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Amortization is provided at rates calculated to write-off the cost of equipment, less their estimated residual value, using the declining balance method at 20% per annum. An item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
e) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the carrying amounts of the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell ("FVLCS") and value in use ("VIU"). FVLCS 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. In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is established to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted)
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets (mineral properties) and equipment are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
f) Share capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company's common shares are classified as equity instruments.
The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of issue costs. When obligation to issue shares exists at the reporting period end but shares are issued subsequent to the reporting period end, the Company records amount received as shares to be issued within shareholders' equity.
g) Unit issuance
The Company allocates the proceeds from the issuance of units between common shares and warrants on a pro-rata basis based on the relative fair values at the date of issuance. The Company allocates the proceeds from the issuance of units between common shares and warrants on a pro-rata basis based on the relative fair values at the date of issuance. The fair value of the common shares is based on the market closing price on the date the units are issued, and the fair value of the warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the date of issuance.
Any value attributed to the warrants is recorded to reserves. Upon exercise, the fair value is reallocated from reserves to issued share capital along with the associated proceeds from exercise.
h) Warrants issued in share-based payments
Where warrants are issued as compensation for goods received or services consumed, they are recorded as share-based compensation. Warrants issued as share issuance costs are recorded as a reduction to share capital with a corresponding increase to reserve.
i) Share-based compensation
The Company has an omnibus stock option plan under which it may grant stock options, restricted share units and deferred share units to directors, employees, consultants and service providers.
The Company records a share-based compensation expense for all options granted to employees, or to those providing similar services, at the fair value of the equity instruments over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in share-based payments reserve. Each transfer of an award is considered separately with its own vesting date and grant date fair value. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each stock option at the date of grant. For awards with vesting conditions, a forfeiture rate is recognized at the grant date and is adjusted to reflect the number of awards expected to vest. As the options are exercised, the consideration paid, together with the amount previously recognized in reserves, is recorded as an increase in share capital. The initial fair value of options that expire unexercised remains in reserves.
For equity-settled share-based compensation to non-employees, the Company measures the value of the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received. If the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, the Company measures the fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company has no cash-settled share-based compensation transactions.
j) Reserves
The Company records the fair values of stock options, restricted share units, deferred share units and warrants issued as well as the equity component of its convertible debenture within reserves on the consolidated statements of financial position. When stock options, warrants or convertible debenture are exercised into common shares, the applicable amount under the reserve will be transferred to share capital.

k) Income taxes
Income tax on the profit or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date, adjusted for amendments to income tax payable with regard to previous years.
Deferred tax is provided using the asset and liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable profit; nor differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. 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 statement of financial position date. 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 the offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
l) Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the loss attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all potentially dilutive instruments. The calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the year. In years where a loss is reported, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share because the effects of potentially dilutive common shares would be anti-dilutive.
m) Foreign currency translation
For the presentation of the consolidated financial statements, assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated at the closing exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period where these approximate the rates on the dates of transactions. Exchange differences arising from translation of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into their functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss to the extent that gains and losses arising on those non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive loss. Where the non-monetary gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, the exchange component is recognized in profit or loss.

n) Recent accounting pronouncements
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18"). IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and also applies to comparative information. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1; many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but it may change what an entity reports as its 'operating profit or loss'. Key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: (i) the structure of the statement of profit or loss; (ii) 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 (iii) enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. The Company is currently assessing the effects of IFRS 18 on the financial statements.
The Company adopted the following amendment to accounting standards, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after August 1, 2024.
Classification of liabilities as current or non-current - amendments to IAS 1
The amendments to IAS 1 specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
- What is meant by a right to defer settlement
- That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
- That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
- That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification
In addition, an entity is required to disclose when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity's right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months. The amendments have not had an impact on the classification of the Company's liabilities.
Supplier finance arrangements - amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7
The amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additional disclosure of such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. The amendments had no impact on the Company's financial statements.
The Company has not early adopted any other new accounting standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires management to make judgements in applying its accounting policies and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the period end date and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Such judgements and estimates are, by their nature, uncertain. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
The impact of such judgements and estimates are pervasive throughout these financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. These judgements and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and are accounted for prospectively.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (continued)
a) Critical accounting estimates
Significant assumptions about the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Company's assets and liabilities in the next year are as follows:
Estimated fair value of stock options issued
The fair value of stock options issued are subject to the limitations of the Black-Scholes option pricing model that incorporates market data and involves uncertainty in estimates used by management in the assumptions. Because the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share prices, changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
Environmental rehabilitation obligation
The Company recognizes statutory, contractual or other legal obligations related to the retirement of its exploration and evaluation assets and its tangible long-lived assets when such obligations are incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. These obligations are measured initially at fair value and the resulting costs are capitalized to the carrying value of the related asset. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for any changes in the amount or timing and for the discounting of the underlying future cash flows. The capitalized asset retirement cost is amortized to operations over the life of the asset.
b) Critical accounting judgements
Significant judgments exercised by management in applying the Company's accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for the financial statements, then adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the consolidated statement of financial position would be necessary (see Note 1).
Economic recoverability of future economic benefits of mineral property interests
Management has considered that exploration and evaluation of mineral properties and related costs incurred, which have been recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position, are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geological data, scoping studies, accessible facilities, and existing and future permits.
Indications of impairment of assets
Impairment testing is done at the cash generating unit level and judgment is involved in assessing whether there is any indication that an asset or a cash generating unit may be impaired. The assessment of the impairment indicators involves the application of a number of significant judgments and estimates to certain variables, including metal price trends, exploration plans for properties and the results of exploration and evaluation to date.
Determination of functional currency
The functional currency of each subsidiary is determined by the primary economic environment in which it operates. This determination involves judgment, and the Company re-evaluates the functional currency when changes in events or conditions occur.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
As at July 31, 2025, the carrying values of cash, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, interest payable, and convertible debenture approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. These financial instruments are measured at amortized cost. The Company has no financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet an obligation under contract. Credit risk exposure arises with respect to the Company's cash and deposits. The risk exposure is limited because the Company places its cash in banks of high credit worthiness within Canada and in trusts with a law firm in the DRC, and its deposits are held with an established mining institution in Nevada, USA.
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. As the Company's operations do not generate cash, financial liabilities are discharged using funding through the issuance of common shares or debt as required. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk through its accounts payable and accrued liabilities, interest payable, convertible debenture and loan payable. Management mitigates this risk by monitoring its cash position and issuing common shares or debt as required.
As at July 31, 2025, the Company's cash balance of $191,599 (July 31, 2024 - $320,255) is not sufficient to meet its current obligations related to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance of $416,002 (July 31, 2024 - $553,474), interest payable balance of $7,914 (July 31, 2024 - $15,658) and convertible debenture balance of $1,256,115 (July 31, 2024 - $1,256,115). The Company's liquidity risk is high, and it will need to raise cash in the form of debt or equity in order to meet its current obligations and remain a going concern. Because of the foregoing, there is a material uncertainty regarding the Company's use of the going concern assumption (Note 1).
c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as its convertible debenture is payable at a fixed interest rate and no other liabilities are subject to variable interest rates.
d) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in its functional currency. The Company does not manage currency risk through hedging or other currency management tools.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
A summary of the Company's financial instruments that are denominated in US$ and expressed in Canadian dollars is as follows:
| July 31, 2025 | July 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Cash | 10,759 | 8,138 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (120,789) | - |
As at July 31, 2025, a 5% change in the foreign exchange rates would result in a change in the net loss of $5,502 (December 31, 2024 - $466) to the financial instruments denominated in US$.
e) Geopolitical risk
Geopolitical risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments will fluctuate if there is a sudden and rapid destabilization of global financial conditions in response to future events, as government authorities may have limited resources to respond to the current or future crisis. Future crises may be precipitated by any number of factors outside the Company's control, including another pandemic, natural disasters, geopolitical instability, supply chain constraints or sovereign defaults. Any sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could negatively impact the Company's ability to obtain equity or debt financing or make other suitable arrangements to operate and/or finance its projects. In the event of increased levels of volatility or a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions, the Company's results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
13. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's capital structure consists of all components of shareholders' equity and its convertible debenture. The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the current operations including corporate and administrative functions to support operations. The Company obtains funding primarily through issuing common shares and debt. Future financing is dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise funds in the future. There were no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
14. INCOME TAX
A summary of the Company's reconciliation of income taxes at statutory rates with the reported taxes for the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

14. INCOME TAX (continued)
The Company has deductible temporary differences for which deferred tax assets have not been recognized due to the uncertainty of their recovery. The significant component of unrecognized deferred income tax assets as at July 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

| Foreign exchange | (13,200) | 1,700 |
| Total unrecognized deferred income tax assets | 3,330,400 | 2,544,400 |
As at July 31, 2025, subject to confirmation by Canadian income tax authorities, the Company has approximately $7,313,900 (2024 - $6,002,500) in Canadian non-capital losses available for carry-forward to reduce future years' taxable income, which expires commencing 2037.
The potential benefits of these carry-forward non-capital losses has not been recognized in these financial statements as it is not considered probable that sufficient future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

16. CONTINGENCIES
