BATHURST METALS CORP. (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Bathurst Metals Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on January 24, 2006 and commenced trading on August 14, 2020 under the stock symbol “BMV”. The Company is involved in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties located in British Columbia and Nunavut, Canada. The Company’s registered office is located at 700-1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3T5. The Company’s shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). On December 3, 2021, the Company was approved to trade in the US under the symbol “BMVVF” as an Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) equity.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Several adverse conditions may cast significant doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Company reported a net loss of $25,837 for the six-months period ended March 31, 2024 (six-months ended March 31, 2023 - net income - $118,031), and as at March 31, 2024 has an accumulated deficit of $11,045,317 (September 30, 2023 - $11,019,480), and to date has no source of revenue or operating cash flow.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company being able to obtain the necessary financing to meet administrative overheads and to complete the acquisition, exploration, and development of its mineral property interests into profitable mining operations.

The Company has relied mainly upon the issuance of capital stock and loan arrangements to finance its activities. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors including the Company's ability to execute its business plan. The Company intends to continue relying upon the issuance of capital stock to finance its future activities, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on a timely basis under terms acceptable to the Company. Inability to secure future financing would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on May ~~22~~ 6, 2024.

BATHURST METALS CORP. (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

(b) Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are stated at their fair values. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except cash flow information.

(c) Presentation and functional currency

The presentation and functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. All amounts in these financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

(d) Critical accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures. Actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The impacts of changes to estimates are recognized in the period estimates are revised and in future periods affected. The critical judgment and assumptions applied in the preparation of these financial statements and other major sources of measurement uncertainty are discussed in note 4.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements:

(a) Mineral property interests

All costs related to the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral property interests are capitalized on a property-by-property basis. Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries. Costs are deferred until such time as the extent of mineralization has been determined and mineral property interests are either developed or the Company’s mineral rights are allowed to lapse.

The carrying value of all categories of mineral property are reviewed at each reporting date by management for indicators that the recoverable amount may be less than the carrying value. When indicators of impairment are present, the recoverable amount of an asset is evaluated at the level of a cash-generating unit (“CGU”), the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets, where the recoverable amount of a CGU is the greater of the CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

BATHURST METALS CORP. (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(a) Mineral property interests (Continued)

Net recoverable amount may be estimated by quantifiable evidence of an economic geological resource or reserve, joint venture expenditure commitments, or the Company’s assessment of its ability to sell the property for an amount exceeding the deferred costs, provision is made for the impairment in value.

From time to time the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property interest pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. As the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, any amounts payable or receivable are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.

(b) Provisions for decommissioning and restoration liabilities

The Company recognizes an estimate of the liability associated with a decommissioning and restoration obligation in the financial statements at the time the liability is incurred. The estimated fair value of the decommissioning and restoration obligation is recorded as a liability, with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related asset. The liability amount is increased each reporting period due to the passage of time and the amount of accretion is charged to operations in the period. The decommissioning and restoration obligation can also increase or decrease due to changes in the estimates of timing of cash flows or changes in the original estimated undiscounted cost. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the decommissioning and restoration obligation are charged against the decommissioning and restoration obligation to the extent of the liability recorded.

(c) Equity units

Proceeds from the issue of units are allocated between common shares and share purchase warrants on a residual value basis, wherein the proceeds are firstly allocated to common shares based on the trading price on the date of issue of the units and the balance, if any, allocated to the attached share purchase warrants.

(d) Flow-through shares

Flow-through shares entitles a company that incurs certain resource expenditures in Canada to renounce them for tax purposes allowing the expenditures to be deducted for income tax purposes by the investors who purchased the shares.

The Company allocates proceeds received first to share capital based on the trading price on the date of issue, and any excess is allocated to flow-through premium liability.

For a financing involving flow-through units consisting of common shares and warrants, the Company allocates proceeds received as follows:

  • Share capital – the trading price of the common share;

  • Warrant reserve – based on the valuation derived using the Black-Scholes option pricing model; and

  • Flow-through premium liability – any excess, recorded as liability.

BATHURST METALS CORP. (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  • (d) Flow-through shares (Continued)

Thereafter, as qualifying resource expenditures are incurred, these costs are charged to operations and flow-through premium, if any, is amortized to profit or loss.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews its tax position and records an adjustment to its deferred tax accounts for taxable temporary differences, including those arising from the transfer of tax benefits to investors through flow-through shares. For this adjustment, the Company considers the tax benefits (of qualifying resource expenditures already incurred) to have been effectively transferred, if it has formally renounced those expenditures at any time.

(e) Share-based payments

Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Performance vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Non-vesting conditions and market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied.

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in profit or loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of capital stock. When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a Black-Scholes valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioral considerations.

All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in share-based payments reserve until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in share-based payments reserve is credited to capital stock along with any consideration paid.

Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest, except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  • (f) Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants, and similar instruments. Under this method the dilutive effect on loss per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.

(g) Income taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period in which the change is enacted or substantially enacted. The amount of deferred income tax assets is limited to the amount of the benefit that is probable of being realized.

(h) Foreign currency translation

Amounts recorded in foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:

  • (i) Monetary assets and liabilities, at the rate of exchange in effect as at the statement of financial position date;

  • (ii) Non-monetary assets and liabilities, at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the acquisition of the assets or assumption of the liabilities; and

  • (iii) Revenue and expenses (excluding depreciation, which is translated at the same rate as the related asset), at the exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction.

Gains and losses arising from this translation of foreign currency are included in profit or loss.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  • (i) Financial instruments

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

A financial asset is measured initially at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets the conditions that: i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and iii) is not designated as fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statements of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value therein, recognized in profit or loss.

The Company classifies cash and marketable securities as fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

There are no financial assets classified as measured at amortized cost.

Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) A financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is carried in the statement of financial position with changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.

There are no financial assets classified as measured at FVTOCI.

Derecognition

A financial asset or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets is derecognized when:

  • The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

  • The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement, and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  • (i) Financial instruments (Continued)

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled, or when it expires. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortized cost. All interest-related charges are reported in profit or loss within interest expense, if applicable.

The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes, and balance due to related parties. These are measured at amortized cost.

Fair value hierarchy

Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s financial instruments classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy are cash, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes payable, and balances due to related parties. Their carrying values approximate the fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments .

4. CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Critical judgments

The Company has made the following critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, in the process of applying its accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

Going concern

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay its ongoing operating expenditures, meet its liabilities for the ensuing year, and to fund planned and contractual exploration programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. See note 1 for more information.

4. CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Continued)

Critical judgments (Continued)

Impairment of mineral property interests

The Company’s mineral property interests represent acquisition costs and exploration expenditures relating to the Company’s mineral properties. At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset, which is the greater of the asset’s value in use and fair value less costs to sell. The Company considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that the Company’s mineral property interests are impaired.

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 qualified expenditures may result in disallowed expenditures by the tax authorities. Any discount disallowed may result in the Company’s required expenditures not being fulfilled.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions management has made about the future and other major sources of estimation uncertainty at the date of the statement of financial position that may have significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:

Provision for decommissioning

An obligation to incur future reclamation, rehabilitation, and environmental costs arises when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development, or ongoing production of a mineral property interest. As at March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, management has determined that the Company has an obligation for decommissioning of $20,000 included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Income taxes

In assessing the probability of realizing the income tax benefits of deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and other income tax deductions, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. The likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities is assessed based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position evaluated in light of all available evidence.

Share-based payments

Assumptions are used in determining share-based payments. The fair value of stock options and warrants are subject to the limitation of the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires market data and estimates used by the Company in the assumptions. These inputs are subjective assumptions and changes in these inputs can materially affect the fair value estimated.

5. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s risk exposures are summarized below.

  • (a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and other price risk.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

  • (a) To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

  • (b) To the extent that changes in prevailing market interest rates differ from the interest rates in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

The Company’s financial asset and liability exposed to interest rate risk consists of reclamation bond and promissory notes. Reclamation bond consists of GICs held at banking institutions that bear interest at 2.7% and prime less 2.95% and mature one year from the purchase date.

  • (ii) Foreign currency risk

The Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk on its financial instruments.

  • (iii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash of $346,881 (September 30, 2023 - $35,368), and the Company’s reclamation bonds of $23,500 (September 30, 2023 - $23,500), which are held at a single major Canadian financial institution.

Credit risk is minimized by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with a major Canadian financial institution with strong investment-grade rating by a primary ratings agency.

5. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. As at March 31, 2024, the Company has cash of $346,881 (September 30, 2023 - $35,368) of which $47,206 (September 30, 2023 - $35,235) is for general operational expenses and $299,675 (September 30, 2023 - $133) is reserved for payment of qualified exploration expenditures with funds raised from flow-through unit financings. The Company’s current liabilities totalled $498,928 (September 30, 2023 - $196,137) and the balance of $286,794 is related to non-qualified exploration expenditures and general operational expenses, $50,000 for loan payable and $162,134 of the current liabilities qualifies for payment using funds from the December 2023 flow-through financing.

The Company’s accounts payable and amounts due to related parties are due in the short term (0 to 3 months).

As at March 31, 2024, there are insufficient cash balances to meet current obligations and expected future exploration activity. The Company will be required to continue to raise additional capital in order to fund its operations and liabilities as they come due.

6. RECLAMATION BONDS

Pursuant to government regulations, and as a condition of undertaking mineral property exploration activities, the Company is obligated to provide specified amounts of security (“reclamation bonds”) against potential future rehabilitation costs for the Crack Moly mineral property that had been previously written off as impaired.

The Company has pledged two guaranteed investment certificates as reclamation bonds with the following terms:

Interest Rate Maturity Date Amount
Bank of Montreal Prime less 2.95% January 15, 2025 $ 20,000(1)
Bank of Montreal 2.7% July 25, 2024 3,500
$ 23,500

(1) The Company estimated that the undiscounted value of its site restoration obligation for Crack Moly minerals property amounts to $20,000 and has recognized a decommissioning liability in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. As it is uncertain when reclamation activities are to occur, a discount rate has not been applied to correspond with the impact of the passage of time.

(h) Kannika Claims Option, British Columbia, Canada

On October 23, 2023, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to acquire an undivided 100% interest in five (5) mineral claims known as the Kannika Property. As consideration for the assignment of the Option Agreement to the Company, the Company will issue 1,500,000 common shares with a fair value of $127,500 (issued on November 22, 2023) (note 9(b)). All shares issued will be subject to a four month hold period. Under the Option Agreement, the Company will reimburse the vendor $1,500 and must incur not less than $50,000 of exploration expenditures within 18 months of the date of the Option Agreement. To exercise the option, the Company will pay US$250,000 to the vendor. The mineral claims will be subject to a 2% NSR to the underlying optionor. The Company shall have a right to purchase 1% of the NSR by paying the underlying optionor US$1,000,000 at any time after commencement of commercial production. The Company has incurred transaction costs for legal and filing fees totalling $10,699.

(i) Environmental

The Company is subject to 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 currently has an obligation on a property (note 6) related to the Crack Moly mineral property.

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 mineral property interests, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.

(j) Title to mineral property interests

Although the Company has taken steps to ensure the title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures may not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior arrangements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

(k) Realization of assets

Realization of the Company’s investment in mineral property interests is dependent upon the establishment of legal ownership, the attainment of successful production from the mineral property interests, or from the proceeds of 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 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 allowed to lapse.

Expected volatility 108%
Expected life 4 years
Expected dividend yield -

12. CAPITAL DISCLOSURE

The Company does not generate cash flows from operations. The Company’s primary source of funds comes from the issuance of capital stock and loan arrangements.

Capital requirements are driven by the Company’s exploration activities on its mineral property interests and administrative overhead. To effectively manage the Company’s capital requirements, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet its strategic goals. The Company strictly monitors actual expenses to budget on all exploration projects and overhead to ensure costs are controlled, commitments are met, and exploration activities are completed.

The Company considers its capital under management to be its capital stock and makes adjustments to it based on the funds available to the Company in order to support future business opportunities. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period.

13.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company has one industry segment, the exploration and development of mineral property interests. During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company operated in two geographic segments in Canada including British Columbia and Nunavut.
