BITTERROOT RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited – Prepared by Management) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Bitterroot Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) is in the exploration stage and its principal business activity is the sourcing and exploration of resource properties.

The Company was incorporated on March 13, 1951 under the Laws of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s head office address is Suite 206-B – 1571 Bellevue Avenue, West Vancouver, BC, V7V 1A6, Canada and its registered office address is Suite 1130 – 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3A6, Canada. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”) under the symbol “BTT”.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to raise adequate financing and to develop profitable operations. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $148,422 at April 30, 2023 (October 31, 2022 – working capital of $35,112). As of April 30, 2023, the Company had accumulated deficit of $30,019,685.

Management is actively targeting sources of additional financing through alliances with financial, exploration and mining entities, and other business and financial transactions which would assure continuation of the Company’s operations and exploration programs. In addition, management closely monitors commodity prices of precious metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company if favorable or adverse market conditions occur.

As the Company is in the exploration and evaluation stage, the Company has not identified a known body of commercial grade mineral on any of its properties. The ability of the Company to realize the costs it has incurred to date on these properties is dependent upon the Company identifying a commercial mineral body, to finance its development costs and to resolve any environmental, regulatory or other constraints, which may hinder the successful development of the property. To date, the Company has not earned any revenues. The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These circumstances comprise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency, unless otherwise indicated.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance and basis of measurement

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on June 22, 2023.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d)

Use of estimates and judgments (cont’d)

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

(i) Critical accounting estimates

Critical accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and include, but are not limited to, the following:

Share based payments

The fair value of stock options issued are subject to the limitation 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.

Exploration and evaluation assets

Recorded costs of exploration and evaluation assets are not intended to reflect present or future values of these properties. The recorded costs are subject to measurement uncertainty and it is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that change in future conditions could require a material change in the recognized amount.

(ii) Critical accounting judgments

There are currently no critical accounting judgements.

Going concern

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. These condensed consolidated interim 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 thus 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 these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of consolidation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries Trans Superior Resources, Inc. and Voyageur Lands Corporation, both of which are holding companies incorporated in Michigan, USA. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual consolidated financial statements as at October 31, 2022. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022.

April 30, 2023 October 31, 2022
GST receivable $ 4,815 $ -

5. RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET AND LEASE LIABILITY

The Company entered a contractual arrangement to lease an office for 4 years starting November 1, 2019. The terms of the lease call for minimum monthly lease payments of $1,867. The Company record a right-of use asset of $72,369 based on the corresponding lease obligation as of November 1, 2019.

During the year ended October 31, 2022, the lease agreement was extended by one year. The right-of-use asset and lease obligation were increased by $18,343 to accommodate the extension of the lease period without any impact on deficit. The new terms of the lease call for minimum monthly lease payments of $1,960, starting from October 2021.

When measuring the present value of lease obligations, the Company uses a discount rate of 10%.

The change in the right-of-use asset during the period ended April 30, 2023 was as follows:

**Right ** of Use
Balance – October 31, 2021 $ 35,414

7. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (cont’d)

Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks due to difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims, as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many exploration and evaluation assets. The Company has investigated title to its exploration and evaluation assets and to the best of its knowledge, title to its exploration and evaluation assets are in good standing.

Michigan Lands, Michigan, U.S.A.

During the year ended October 31, 2015, a subsidiary of Altius Minerals Corporation acquired a 50.1% interest in the Company’s Michigan Lands by funding $600,000 of exploration expenditures. Altius had the right to acquire an additional 19.9% of the properties by completing $2.5 million in exploration spending by September 29, 2021, plus the right to acquire an additional 10% of the properties by completing exploration spending of a further $5,000,000 or completing an NI 43-101 compliant pre-feasibility study on a mineral resource on the properties, before September 29, 2025. Altius failed to complete the additional expenditures required prior to September 29, 2021 and both options have expired. The Company (49.9%) and Altius (50.1%) are effectively joint venture partners, although a formal joint venture agreement has not yet been entered into. The Company also granted to Altius a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on the Voyageur Lands (covering approximately 250 square miles of mineral rights) and assigned to Altius its right to repurchase a 1% NSR held by a third party on the Copper Range Lands by paying $1,000,000 U.S. to the third party before December 31, 2048.

Mineral Rights Leased from the State of Michigan

During the year ended October 31, 2016, the Company (49.9%) and Altius (50.1%) acquired State of Michigan metallic minerals leases covering 3,051 acres. A cash bond of US$30,000 has been posted by a subsidiary of Altius.

LM Property

The Company’s Michigan subsidiary, Trans Superior Resources, Inc., leases 40 acres of minerals rights in Baraga County, Michigan, known as the LM Property. The lessors have granted the Company the option to reduce the current 3% NSR to a 2% NSR by paying US$1,000,000 prior to December 31, 2064. The 2022 advance royalty payment is US$170/acre (paid). The advance royalty payments increase by $10/acre/year. The LM Property is not subject to the joint venture with Altius.

During the year ended October 31, 2020, the Company, through its US subsidiary Trans Superior Resources, Inc., entered into an option/joint venture agreement whereby Below Exploration, Inc., (“Below”) a private Michigan corporation, could earn a 49% joint venture interest in the Company’s 100%-leased LM nickel-copper-platinum-palladium property in Baraga County, Michigan. During the year ended October 31, 2020, Below funded $370,061 (US$285,000) of exploration expenditures prior to the first anniversary of the agreement and earned a 49% joint venture interest. The Company is the project operator, regardless of its ownership level, and retains a right of first refusal over Below’s property interest. Following vesting of its 49% interest, Below had a 90-day option to convert its interest in the project into the Company’s shares. Below did not exercise the share conversion option and the joint venture is continuing.

In February 2021, the Company entered into a minerals lease and purchase option with a privately-held corporation (“MPC”) covering 80 acres of mineral rights adjacent to the LM Property. MPC leases the mineral rights exclusively to the Company for a term of forty years. Under the term of the agreement the Company is required to make the following payments and share issuances:

(i) US$15,000 (paid) and issuance of 100,000 common shares within 10 days of the TSX-V approval date, February 25, 2021 (the “Approval Date”) (issued);

11. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Industry information

The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation assets.

Geographic information

The Company operated in both Canada and the United States. The Company’s reclamation deposits and exploration and evaluation assets are located in Canada and the United States.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Capital management

The Company manages its capital to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide adequate returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, and to have sufficient funds on hand for business opportunities as they arise.

The Company considers the items included in share capital as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through short-term prospectuses and private placements or return capital to shareholders. As at April 30, 2023, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks and assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure. These risks include liquidity risk, credit risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

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 is considered to be in the exploration stage. Thus, it is dependent on obtaining regular financings in order to continue its exploration programs. Despite previous success in acquiring these financings, there is no guarantee of obtaining future financings. The Company’s cash consists of cash deposited in business accounts and redeemable guaranteed investment certificates held by high credit quality financial institutions. The Company is not invested in any asset backed commercial paper.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash, receivables and reclamation deposits. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash and reclamation deposits with high-credit quality financial institutions. Deposits held with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The receivables balance consists mainly of GST recoverable. There is ongoing review to evaluate the credit worthiness of these counterparties. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of cash, receivables and reclamation deposits.

Currency risk

The Company’s operations are in Canada and the United States. The international nature of the Company’s operations results in foreign exchange risk as transactions are denominated in a foreign currency. The operating results and the financial position of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. The fluctuations of the operating currencies in relation to the Canadian dollar will, consequently, have an impact upon the reported results of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time. A strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar of 10% would not have a significant effect on net loss.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)

Interest rate risk

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on its cash. The Company’s practice has been to invest cash at floating rates of interest in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. There is minimal risk that the Company would recognize any loss as a result of a decrease in the fair value of any guaranteed bank investment certificates included in cash as they are generally held with large financial institutions. The Company does not have any variable interest-bearing debt.

Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors the commodity prices of precious metals and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Fair value

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 data.

The fair value of cash and reclamation deposits are measured based on level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities is equal to its carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instrument. The fair value of lease liability is initially recorded at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost using rates comparable to market interest rates.
