CopperEx Resources Corporation (formerly Gotham Resource Corp.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
CopperEx Resources Corporation (formerly Gotham Resource Corp.) (the "Company" or “Gotham”) is a Capital Pool Company which was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on October 8, 2020. On August 16, 2021, the Company, completed its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the ticker symbol GHMP. The principal business of the Company was the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction ("QT"). The Company had not commenced commercial operations and had no assets other than cash. Given the nature of the activities, no separate segmented information is reported.
The head office and the registered head office of the Company is located at Suite 3000, 1055 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7X 1K8.
The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Company. These restrictions apply until completion of a QT by the Company as defined under the policies of the Exchange Policy 2.4.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, Gotham entered into a binding term sheet dated August 9, 2023, with CopperEx Holdings Corporation (formerly CopperEx Resources Corporation) (“CopperEx”), outlining the terms by which Gotham would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of CopperEx (collectively, the “CopperEx QT”). CopperEx was a private British Columbia incorporated company with exploration projects in Chile and an exploration project in Peru. The CopperEx QT closed subsequent to December 31, 2023 (Note 10).
The CopperEx QT constituted Gotham's “Qualifying Transaction”, as such term is defined in Exchange Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies, and was completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which CopperEx amalgamated with 1442695 B.C. Ltd. ("Subco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gotham incorporated on October 3, 2023 (which, following the CopperEx QT, is referred to as the “Resulting Issuer”) and CopperEx shareholders hold a majority of the shares of Gotham (each, a “Gotham Share”). Upon closing of the CopperEx QT, Gotham’s name changed to “CopperEx Resources Corporation” and CopperEx’s name changed to CopperEx Holdings Corporation. The Resulting Issuer is a Tier 2 mining issuer under the policies of the Exchange. On February 14, 2024, the Company resumed trading on the Exchange under the ticker symbol CUEX.
On October 13, 2023, Gotham and CopperEx entered into an amalgamation agreement in furtherance of and in order to complete the CopperEx QT (the “Amalgamation Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the CopperEx QT, each outstanding common share of CopperEx (each, a “CopperEx Share”) was exchanged for 0.682 of a Gotham Share.
The QT constituted an arm’s-length transaction, and as such, the QT did not require Gotham shareholder approval. In connection with the QT, Gotham completed a consolidation of outstanding Gotham Shares on the basis of three (3) pre-consolidation Gotham Shares for one (1) post-consolidation Gotham Share to take effect immediately after closing of the Transaction (the “Gotham Consolidation”). All references to share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the share consolidation.

Such adjustments could be material. As at December 31, 2023, the Company has current assets of $1,871,983 to settle current liabilities of $1,270,318, leaving the Company with working capital of $601,665.

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

The Company’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or by securing strategic partners.
The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital could only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month could be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Company.
