Description of Business
Alliance Mining Corporation is an exploration company engaged in resource exploration and project development. In this regard, the Company’s plan is to acquire properties of merit and take them through the exploration phase and hopefully through feasibility and on to construction and into mining operations.
Overall Performance
The level of the Company’s future operations will be determined by the availability of capital resources, which will be derived from the issuance of special warrants and future financings.
The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $8,174,649 as at September 30, 2024 which has been funded primarily by the issuance of shares. The Company has no source of operating cash flows and expects to incur further losses in the exploration and development of its mineral properties. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing or maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors and generating profitable operations in the future.
In addition, the Company has engaged in negotiations with creditors and significant shareholders and reviewed several strategic opportunities in the mining business with a view to increasing shareholder value.
Private Placement and Share Issuance
There were no shares issued for the period ended September 30, 2024.

On May 5, 2015, the Company issued a $75,000 convertible debenture (the “Debenture”). At the option of the holder, the principal amount of the Debenture is to be converted into 1,500,000 units (60,000 post consolidated). One unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the company at an exercise price of five cents per share for 60 months following the date of issuance of the units. The Debenture had a maturity date of October 5, 2015 and was subject to an interest rate of 10% over the term of the Debenture.
The Debenture is recorded in part as a liability and in part as shareholders’ equity. The Company uses the “residual valuation” method to determine the debt and equity components of the convertible debenture. Under the residual valuation method, the liability component is determined by estimating the present value of the future cash payments discounted at a rate of interest which the Company would be charged by the market for similar debt without the conversion option. The difference between the net proceeds of the debenture and the liability component is recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
The Debenture has been accreted to its face value at maturity through a charge to operations. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded accretion expense in the amount of $1,494.
On February 5, 2016, the Company and the lender entered into an agreement to extend the term of the debenture to an open-ended maturity date, by agreeing to an extension fee of $10,000 and to increase the interest rate on the debenture to 12% per annum.
On April 1, 2024, the Company and the lender re-negotiated the terms of the agreement, changing the debenture terms from an open-ended maturity to a maturity date of March 31, 2027, consequently reclassifying the current payable of $216,086 to long-term, and being subject to a simple interest rate of 12% per annum with interest payment also due on March 31, 2027. The initial fair value of the long-term debenture was recorded at $119,178 using a discount rate of 20%. A gain on the revaluation of the long-term debenture of $96,908 was recorded in other items in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
For the period ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded accretion expense of $12,426. As at September 30, 2024, $28,873 was recorded as the current portion of the long-term debenture and $102,731 was classified as long-term.

Over the last eight quarters, the Company has been exploring and acquiring property projects and most of the loss each quarter relates to the expenditures incurred in maintaining the operations of the Company and indirect cost in supporting the Company's Projects.
Mineral exploration is typically a seasonal business, and accordingly, the Company's operating expenses, and cash requirements will fluctuate depending upon the season and the level of activity. The Company's primary source of funding is through the issuance of share capital. When the capital markets are depressed, the Company's activity level normally declines accordingly. As capital markets strengthen and the Company can secure equity financing with favorable terms, the Company's activity levels, and the size and scope of planned exploration projects will typically increase.

i) to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
ii) to ensure the entity has the capital and capacity to support a long-term growth strategy.
The Company’s capital structure reflects the requirements of a company focused on significant growth in a capital-intensive industry. The Company faces lengthy development lead times, as well as risks associated with rising capital costs and timing of project completion because of the availability of resources, permits and other factors beyond our control. The Company’s operations are also affected by potentially significant volatility of the metals and materials cycles.
Management continually assesses the adequacy of the Company’s capital structure and adjusts within the context of its strategy, the base metal mining industry, economic conditions, and the risk characteristics of the Company’s assets. To adjust or maintain its capital structure, the Company may enter new credit facilities or issue new shares.
The Company has several key policy guidelines for managing its capital structure:
i) maintain a liquidity cushion that allows the Company to address operational and/or industry disruptions or downturns
ii) ensure the Company has enough funding to complete its development programs at or around the time a definitive decision is made to move forward with a project; and
iii) maintain a conservative level of debt relative to total capital and earnings within the context of financial forecasts for pricing, costs and production
The Company’s share capital is not subject to external restrictions. The Company has not paid or declared any dividends since the date of incorporation, nor are any contemplated in the foreseeable future. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended September 30, 2024.

actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below.
a) 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 has a working capital deficiency of $1,161,055 as at September 30, 2024. The Company is dependent upon the availability of credit from its suppliers and its ability to generate enough funds from equity and debt financing to meet current and future obligations. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
b) 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. Management considers that risk related to interest is not significant to the Company at this time as the Company has limited short term investments. Amounts owed from and to related parties are non-interest bearing.
c) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet commenced commercial production or sales. The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.
d) Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company conducts a significant portion of its business activities in foreign currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk to the extent it incurs mineral exploration expenditures and operating costs denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Company does use derivatives to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk.
e) Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in commodity prices. The ability of the Company to develop its mineral properties and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of gold. The Company has not hedged any of its future gold sales. The Company’s input costs are also affected by the price of fuel. The Company closely monitors gold and fuel prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.
f) Fair Values
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining fair value measurements:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement. The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value use Level 1 valuation technique during the period ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The carrying values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
