Canter Resources Corp.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)
For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1) CORPORATE INFORMATION AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Canter Resources Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on March 7, 2018. The Company is engaged in the exploration and evaluation of resource properties in Canada and United States.
The Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 400 – 1681 Chestnut Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6J 4M6. On December 31, 2021, the Company’s common shares began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol CRC.
The Company is in the exploration stage and its principal business activity is the sourcing and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets in the United States (Note 4). The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its exploration and evaluation assets and has not yet determined whether these assets contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $3,355,522 as of December 31, 2024 (June 30, 2024 – $2,802,940), which has been funded primarily by issuance of shares. 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. The Company has been successful in the past in raising funds for operations by issuing shares but there is a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to raise the necessary capital and generate sufficient cash flows to meet obligations as they come due, the Company may have to reduce or curtail its activities or obtain financing at unfavorable terms. Furthermore, failure to continue as a going concern would require the Company’s assets and liabilities be restated on a liquidation basis which would differ significantly from the going concern basis. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments may be material.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended December 31, 2024 were approved by the Board of Directors on February 28, 2025.

2) MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance to International Financial Reporting Standards
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These financial statements comply with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
Basis of preparation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. This interim financial report does not include all of the information required of a full annual financial report and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2024.
New accounting standards and pronouncements
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2024. The Company does not expect that any new or amended standards or interpretations that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2024 will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
- Disclosure of Accounting Policies
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, which change the disclosure requirements with respect to accounting policies from ‘significant accounting policies’ to ‘material accounting policy information’. The amendments provide guidance on when accounting policy information is likely to be considered material. The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted.
- Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendment to IAS 8)
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, which added the definition of Accounting Estimates in IAS 8. The amendments also clarified that the effects of a change in an input or measurement technique are changes in accounting estimates, unless resulting from correction of prior period errors.
- Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current in January 2020, which have been further amended partially by amendments Non-current Liabilities with Covenants issued in October 2022. The amendments require that an entity’s right to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period must have substance and must exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification of a liability is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Subsequent to the release of amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current, the IASB amended IAS 1 further in October 2022. If an entity’s right to defer is subject to the entity complying with specified conditions, such conditions affect whether that right exists at the end of the reporting period, if the entity is required to comply with the condition on or before the end of the reporting period and not if the entity is required to comply with the conditions after the reporting period. The amendments also provide clarification on the meaning of ‘settlement’ for the purpose of classifying a liability as current or non-current.
There was no material impact upon adoption of the above accounting standards.

2) MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
New accounting standards and pronouncements (continued)
- IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued a new IFRS accounting standard to improve the reporting of financial performance. IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The standards will become effective January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted.
The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of these new standards on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Columbus Lithium-Boron Property (continued)
In addition, within 36 months following the CLB Effective Date, the Company is obligated to complete 2,500 feet of drilling and drill one hole to a depth of at least 1,500 feet (the “CLB Drilling Program”). Should the Company experience delays due to the review or issuance of necessary permits by any governmental authority, the duration of the CLB Drilling Program may be extended up to a maximum of 54 months from the CLB Effective Date.
As consideration for the CLB Agreement and Water Rights Appurtenance Agreement (“WRA Agreement”) amendments, the Company issued 500,000 common shares with fair value of $35,000 to the CLB Optionors on November 6, 2024 (Note 6).
Furthermore, within 60 days of the CLB Effective Date, the Company is required to reimburse the CLB Optionors the annual mining claim maintenance fees of Columbus Lithium-Boron Property paid by the CLB Optionors since June 1, 2023, to the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management and documented payments of state mining claim fees paid to Esmeralda County, Nevada to keep the Columbus Lithium-Boron Property in good standing.
The CLB Optionors will retain a production royalty equal to 2.5% of the gross value from all mineral production from the Columbus Lithium-Boron Project, including any unpatented mining claims located in the applicable area of interest. Altitude may, within 36 months of the CLB Effective Date, repurchase 40% of the production royalty (representing 1.0% of the gross value) for a one-time payment of US$1,500,000.
Water Right Appurtenance Agreement
On November 27, 2023 (the “WRA Effective Date”), the Company, through its subsidiary Altitude USA, entered into a WRA Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in certain water rights permits applicable to the Columbus Lithium-Boron Property. The CLB Optionors are the owners of two applications to appropriate the waters of the State of Nevada filed with the Nevada Division of Water Resources (the “CLB Permits”). The WRA Agreement was subsequently amended on October 29, 2024 (the “Amended WRA Agreement”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended WRA Agreement, the Company is required to make the following payments (the “WRA Payments”) to the CLB Optionors to acquire the 100% interest in the CLB Permits:
| Cash (US$) | Common Shares (#) | |||

| 42 months after the WRA Effective Date | 300,000 | - | ||
| Total | 400,000 | 1,800,000 |
The Company reserves the right to terminate the agreement at any time, without incurring any obligation to make further payments. On completion of the WRA Payments and exercising the option agreement, the CLB Optionors should convey the CLB Permits to the Company.
The Company has reclamation deposits of $19,053 (US$13,258) (June 30, 2024 – $18,133 (US$13,258)) as collateral on the Columbus Lithium-Boron Property.

10) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value
Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: FVTPL, amortized cost and FVTOCI.
Set out below are the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by category:
| December 31, 2024 | FVTPL | Amortized costs | FVTOCI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| FINANCIAL ASSETS | ||||
| ASSETS | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 769,306 | 769,306 | - | - |
| Amounts receivable | 23,292 | - | 23,292 | - |
| Reclamation deposits | 19,053 | - | 19,053 | - |
| FINANCIAL LIABILITIES | ||||
| LIABILITIES | ||||
| Accounts payable | (62,171) | - | (62,171) | - |

| FINANCIAL LIABILITIES | ||||
| LIABILITIES | ||||
| Accounts payable | (77,591) | - | (77,591) | - |
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, deposits, and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the relatively short period to maturity of those financial instruments. Reclamation deposits approximately their fair value due to their liquidity.
IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based upon appropriate valuation methodologies.
As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the financial instrument recorded at fair value on the statements of financial position is cash which is measured using Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized in the statement of financial position at fair value that would be categorized as Level 2 and 3 in the fair value hierarchy above.

10) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Financial risk management
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk includes cash and amounts receivable.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at a large Canadian financial institution in interest bearing accounts.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of its financial assets.
Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to these financial instruments is remote. Cash and cash equivalents based in Canada are accessible. The Company’s amounts receivable balance does not represent significant credit exposure as it is principally due from the Government of Canada.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash balances to meet liabilities as they become due.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company maintained sufficient cash and cash equivalents totaling $769,306 to meet short-term business requirements. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities amounting to $122,171, all of which are current. The Company’s liquidity is assessed as high.
Market risk
The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and price risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s interest rate risk principally arises from the interest rate impact of interest earned on cash. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk relating to its cash.
Foreign Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities denominated by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars (“$” or “CA$”). The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in CA$ and United States dollars (“US$”); therefore, US$ accounts are subject to fluctuation against the CA$.

10) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Financial risk management (continued)
Market risk (continued)
The Company's financial instruments were denominated as follows as at December 31, 2024:
| CA$ | US$ | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 743,194 | 18,169 |
| Reclamation deposits | - | 13,258 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (109,570) | (8,768) |
| 633,624 | 22,659 | |
| Rate to convert to $1.00 CA$ | 1.00 | 1.44 |
| Equivalent to CA$ | 633,624 | 32,564 |
Based on the net exposures as of December 31, 2024, and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% change in the CAD against the USD would change profit or loss by approximately $3,000.
Commodity price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company's ability to raise capital to fund exploration and development activities may be subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of commodities. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.
