DECADE RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS July 31, 2023 (Stated in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
Note 1 Corporate Information
Decade Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is an exploration stage company incorporated on March 3, 2006, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Its principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company's common shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol "DEC".
The Company's head office and principal business address is 611 – 8 th Street, Box 211, Stewart, British Columbia, Canada, V0T 1W0.
Note 2 Basis of Preparation
a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
These condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required to be included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022.
These condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issue on September 29, 2023 by the directors of the Company.
b) Basis of Measurement
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.
The condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency and presentation currency.
Note 2 Basis of Preparation – (cont'd)
c) Going Concern
At July 31, 2023, the Company has not generated revenue from operations, has an accumulated deficit of $18,636,240 and expects to incur further costs in the exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain economically recoverable reserves. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, the Company's ability to obtain adequate financing to develop the reserves, and its ability to commence profitable operations in the future. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has been able to fund operations and mineral property exploration through equity financings. The continued uncertainty in the financial equity markets may make it difficult to raise capital through the private placement of shares. The junior mining industry is considered speculative in nature which could make it more difficult to fund. While the Company is using its best efforts to achieve its business plans by examining various financing alternatives, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with its financing ventures.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating 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.
d) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies.
The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only; or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.
Note 2 Basis of Preparation – (cont'd)
d) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements – (cont'd)
Information about critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the Company's financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:
i. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
The application of the Company's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in the profit or loss in the period the new information becomes available.
ii. Title to Mineral Properties
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
iii. Rehabilitation Provisions
Rehabilitation provisions have been determined to be $Nil based on the Company's internal estimates. Assumptions, based on the current economic environment, have been made which management believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates take into account any material changes to the assumptions that occur when reviewed regularly by management. Estimates are reviewed annually and are based on current regulatory requirements. Significant changes in estimates of contamination, restoration standards and techniques will result in changes to provisions from period to period.
iv. Share-Based Payments
The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based payments. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company's earnings and equity reserves.
Note 2 Basis of Preparation – (cont'd)
d) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements – (cont'd)
v. Recognition of Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets and liabilities is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Changes in estimates of future taxable profit can materially affect the amount of deferred income tax assets and liabilities recognized from period to period.
vi. Going Concern
Management has applied judgments in the assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern when preparing its financial statements. Management prepares the financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative to do so. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Please refer to Note 2(c) for additional information.
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited financial statements as at April 30, 2023. The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2023.

("Mountain Boy"), a public company with directors in common with the Company, to acquire a 60% interest in the Red Cliff property located 25 miles north of Stewart, British Columbia. In order to earn the 60% interest the Company was required to incur exploration expenditures on the property of $1,250,000 over three years. The Company incurred all the required exploration expenditures to earn its 60% interest and entered into a joint venture agreement with Mountain Boy to operate the property on a 60/40 joint venture basis.
At October 31, 2011, the Company was informed by Mountain Boy that it would not be funding its share of the Red Cliff exploration expenditures and thereby would have its interest diluted under the formula set out in the joint venture agreement. As at October 31, 2011, the Company was owed $548,285 in exploration expenditures by Mountain Boy. Effective November 1, 2011, Mountain Boy agreed to dilute its interest in the Red Cliff property by 5% in lieu of the $435,785 and consequently the Red Cliff joint venture is now run on a 65/35 joint venture basis.

Note 8 Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities approximate their 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 Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Cash has been classified as FVTPL. Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables. Accounts payable are classified as other financial liabilities.
The fair value of the Company's cash was measured using level one of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company's cash and accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk. The Company reduces its credit risk on cash by placing these instruments with large financial institutions.
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. The Company's considers its exposure to interest rate risk to be not significant.
Note 8 Financial Instruments and Risk Management – (cont'd)
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's policy is to ensure that it always has sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. When future cash flows are uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.
The Company budgets with a plan to have sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 30 days. The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds by monitoring the maturity dates of existing trade and other accounts payable. The Company prepares monthly operating expenditure budgets, which are regularly monitored and updated as considered necessary. The Company intends to meet its current obligations through funds to be raised via the private placement of shares and through related party loans.
Note 9 Capital Disclosures
The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares periodic budgets that are updated as necessary. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it to effectively support the Company's objectives. In order to pay for general administrative costs, the Company will use its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to explore its mineral properties.
The Company reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company considers shareholders equity and working capital as components of its capital base. The Company may access capital through the issuance of shares or the disposition of assets.
Management historically funds the Company's expenditures by issuing share capital rather than using capital sources that require fixed repayments of principal and/or interest.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and does not have exposure to assetbacked commercial paper or similar products. The Company believes it will be able to raise additional equity capital as required, but recognizes the uncertainty attached thereto.
There has been no change in the Company's approach to capital management during the periods ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.
