INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Delta Resources Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Delta Resources Limited (the "Entity"), which comprise:
- the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024 and 2023
- the statements of net loss and other comprehensive loss for the years then ended
- the statements of changes in equity for the years then ended
- the statements of cash flows for the years then ended
- and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policy information
(Hereinafter referred to as the "financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements" section of our auditor's report.
We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Entity is still in the exploration stage and, as such, no revenue has been generated and it has negative cash flows from its operating activities. Accordingly, the Entity depends on its ability to raise financing in order to discharge its commitments and liabilities in the normal course of operations.
As stated in Note 2 in the financial statements, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2 in the financial statements, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Except for the matter described in the "Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern" section of the auditor's report, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our auditor's report.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. Other information comprises the information included in Management's Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit and remain alert for indications that the other information appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained the information included in Management's Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions as at the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in the auditor's report.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity's internal control.

- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
- Provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this auditor's report is Nathalie Labelle.

Notes to financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(in Canadian dollars)
1. Statute of incorporation and nature of activities
Delta Resources Limited (the "Company") is a corporation continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) incorporated on January 19, 1946. The Company changed its name to Delta Resources Limited from Golden Hope Mines Limited in June 2019. The Company's principal operations are mining properties and exploration expenditures made on properties that are not in commercial production. The Company is exploring its mining properties and has not determined whether or not the properties contain economically recoverable resources. The address of the registered office is 1718, Christine Crescent, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, K7L 4V4.
The Company's common shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol DLTA, on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol DTARF and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol 6G01.
2. Going concern
The Company has not yet determined whether its mining properties contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of mining properties is dependent on the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and resources; securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties; and the ability to obtain the financing required to complete exploration, evaluation, development and construction or the proceeds from the sale of such assets.
The Company had recurring losses in the current and prior years, including a net loss of $6,088,048 for the year ended December 31, 2024, has an accumulated deficit of $56,937,601 (2023 - $50,849,553) since its inception, and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. Further, the business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and resources and/or profitable mining operations.
In addition to ongoing working capital requirements, the Company must secure sufficient funding for the exploration and evaluation programs and pay general and administrative costs. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on being able to obtain the necessary financing to satisfy its liabilities as they become due. As at December 31, 2024, the Company has a working capital of $4,057,031 (2023 - $5,686,738). Management estimates that funds on hand will not be sufficient to meet the Company's obligations and commitments and to pursue and complete the development of its mining properties. If management is unable to obtain new funding, the Company may be unable to continue its operations, and amounts realized for assets may be less than amounts reflected in these financial statements.
The conditions and uncertainties described above indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's business plan is dependent on raising additional funds to finance operations within and beyond the next 12 months. Any funding shortfall may be met in the future in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, the issuance of new debt or equity instruments, reduction in expenditures and/or the introduction of joint venture partners and/or business combinations on terms which are acceptable to the Company. Although the Company has been successful in the past at raising funds, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to secure financing in the future or that these sources of funding will be available.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using assumptions applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, expenses and financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.

3. Statement of compliance with IFRS
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). On April 9, 2025 the Board of Directors approved, for issuance, these financial statements.
4. Material Accounting Policy Information
Basis of measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for share-based compensation transactions, which are measured at fair value at grant date pursuant to IFRS 2, Share-Based payment.
Refundable tax credit on mining duties and refundable tax credit related to resources
The Company is eligible for a refundable credit on mining duties under the Québec Mining Tax Act. This refundable credit on mining duties is equal to 16% applicable tax on 50% of the eligible expenses. The accounting treatment for refundable credits on mining duties depends on management's intention to either go into production in the future or to sell its mining properties to another mining producer once the technical feasibility and the economic viability of the properties have been demonstrated. This assessment is made at the level of each mining property.
In the first case, the credit on mining duties is recorded as an income tax recovery under IAS 12, Income Taxes, which generates a deferred tax liability and deferred tax expense since the exploration and evaluation assets have no tax basis following the Company's election to claim the refundable credit.
In the second case, it is expected that no mining duties will be paid in the future and, accordingly, the credit on mining duties is recorded against exploration and evaluation assets.
The Company is also eligible for a refundable tax credit related to resources for mining industry companies in relation to eligible expenses incurred. The refundable tax credit related to resources can represent up to 38.75% for eligible expenses incurred, thereafter is recorded as a government grant against exploration and evaluation assets.
The credits related to resources and credits for mining duties recognized against exploration and evaluation expenditures are initially recorded at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Company will comply with the conditions associated with the grant.
Leases
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases, including leases of IT equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Government grant
Government grant is recognized when there is reasonable assurance of their recovery and recorded as a reduction of the related expense or cost of the asset acquired or as other income, as applicable.
Mining properties
Exploration and evaluation expenditure are costs incurred in the course of the initial search of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrated.

4. Material Accounting Policy Information – Cont’d
Mining properties – Cont’d
Costs related to exploration and evaluation of mineral properties, option and lease payments and costs of acquiring mineral rights are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The cost of exploration and evaluation expenditures acquired in exchange of common shares of the Company are recognized at the closing market price of the common shares at the acquisition transaction date.
Any option payments or proceeds from the sale of royalty interests received by the Company are recorded as income in the period received.
Disposal of interest in connection with option agreement
On the disposal of interest in connection with the option agreement, the Company does not recognize expenses related to the exploration and evaluation performed on the project by the acquirer. In addition, the cash or the closing market price at the transaction date of the common shares consideration received directly from the acquirer is recognized as proceeds relating to the grant of options on mining projects in profit or loss.
Income taxes
Income tax expense represents current tax and deferred tax. The Company records current tax based on the taxable profits for the year, which is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statement of financial position.
Deferred tax
Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the liability method that requires that income taxes reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined for each temporary difference based on currently enacted or substantially enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the underlying items of income or expense are expected to be realized. The effect of a change in tax rates or tax legislation is recognized in the year of substantive enactment. Deferred tax assets, such as non-capital loss carry-forwards or deductible temporary difference, are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilized. This is assessed based on the Company’s forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or credit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention of set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as deferred income tax expense in profit or loss, except where they are related to items that are recognized in other comprehensive loss or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive loss or equity, respectively.
Equity Instruments and share-based payments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The Company applies a fair value-based method of accounting to all share-based payments.
Units that consist of common shares and common share purchase warrants issued by the Company for cash consideration are recorded under common shares and warrants caption at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. When those warrants are exercised, the consideration received is recorded in common shares and warrants caption.

4. Material Accounting Policy Information – Cont’d
Equity Instruments and share-based payments – Cont’d
Non-employee common shares, warrants and stock options payment transactions in which the Company acquires non-financial assets and services are recognized when the risks and rewards of the assets is transferred, or the services are rendered to the Company. If there are unidentifiable services, then they are measured at grant date. The Company measures the non-financial assets or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, at the fair value of the non-financial assets or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value of the non-financial assets received or services cannot be estimated reliably, the Company measures their value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of the common shares issued is determined by using the closing price on the TSX Venture Exchange of the day preceding the issuance date. The fair value of warrants and stock options issued is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The amount recorded in equity for common shares is recorded in common shares and warrants caption and amounts recorded for warrants and stock options are credited to contributed surplus. On the exercise of warrants and stock options, common shares and warrants caption is credited for the consideration received and the related fair value amounts previously credited to contributed surplus.
Transactions with shareholders such as extension of the exercise period of warrants, where shareholders are acting in their capacity as shareholders and the Company is not receiving a benefit from the shareholders, are recognized directly in equity. Increase of fair value resulting from the modification of the equity instrument at modification date and the corresponding debit amount associated with the distribution made to the shareholders are both recorded in contributed surplus.
Stock options issued to employees, management and directors are measured at their fair value of each tranche on the grant date and recognized in their respective vesting period. The Company also provides for an estimate of the forfeiture rates in determining the total stock-based compensation expense. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options issued to employees, management and directors. The cost of stock options is presented as share-based compensation expense, with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. On the exercise of stock options, common shares and warrants caption is credited for the consideration received and the related fair value amounts previously credited to contributed surplus.
Flow-through shares
The Federal and Provincial tax legislation permits an entity to issue securities to investors whereby the deductions for tax purposes relating to resource expenditures may be claimed by the investors and not by the entity. These securities are referred to as flow-through shares. The Company finances a portion of its exploration programs with flow-through shares.
At the time of the issuance of flow-through shares, the Company allocates the proceeds between share capital and an obligation to deliver the tax deductions, which is recorded as a liability related to flow-through shares. The Company estimates the fair value of the liabilities related to flow-through shares using the residual method, deducting the fair value of the common shares and warrants issued from the cash consideration received from the flow-through shares financing.
The liability related to flow through shares recorded is reversed on renouncement of the right to tax deductions to the investors or when the Company has the intention to renounce of tax deductions to the investors and when eligible expenses are incurred and recognized in profit or loss in reduction of deferred income taxes expense.

Loss per share
The Company presents and discloses segment information based on the internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors in order to assess each segment's performance. In this regard, the Company conducts its business in a single operating segment, being the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration properties.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost
Classification of assets
The Company classifies financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 9. The Company's cash, other receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt are classified and measured at amortized cost.
Under this method, financial assets and liabilities reflect the amounts required to be received or paid, discounted when appropriate, at the financial instrument's effective interest rate. The fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities classified in this category approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized at cost on the trade date – the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the investment. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred in the statement of comprehensive income (loss). Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The update is committed if its effect is not significant.
New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18)
In April 2024, the IASB issued a new Accounting Standard, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 will introduce the following main changes from IAS 1:
- improved consistency and structure in the Statement of Earnings, including:
- formally defined Operating Profit and Profit or Loss before Financing and Income Tax subtotals;
- Operating, Investing and Financing income and expenses categories, based on a company's main business activities; and
- an analysis of the Operating expenses by function or by nature, directly on the face of the Statement of Earnings, with details regarding their nature in the notes when expenses are presented by function in the Statement of Earnings.
- new guidance regarding Management-defined Performance Measures ("MPMs"); and
- new guidance regarding aggregation of items in the financial statements.
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and applies retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The impact on the Company's financial statements is being assessed by Management.

Amendments to IFRS 9 (Accounting for electronic payments)
The IASB has issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 in May 2024. These amendments related to classification of financial assets and accounting for settlement by electronic payments. Following the amendments to IFRS 9, companies that recognize or derecognize financial assets or financial liabilities on the payment initiation date could see a change to their accounting as a general requirement is added that reiterate the following requirements:
- financial instruments are recognized when an entity becomes a party to a contract;
- a financial asset is derecognized when rights to the cash flows expire, or the asset is transferred; and
- a financial liability is derecognized when it is settled, which is the date on which the liability is extinguished.
The amendments allow an exception that would apply only for financial liabilities. The exception would allow a company to derecognize a financial liability before the settlement date, when it uses an electronic payment system and, after initiating the payment, when:
- it has no practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instruction;
- it has no practical ability to access the cash to be used for settlement as a result of the payment instruction; and
- the settlement risk associated with the electronic payment system is insignificant.
These amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted. The impact for the Company is being assessed by management.
5. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions based on currently available information that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimated. By their very nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect of any changes in estimates on the financial statements of future periods could be material.
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
Going concern
The assessment of the Company's ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There is a material uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

17. Capital management – Cont'd
The Company has no externally imposed restrictions on capital. There were no significant changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2024.
18. Loss per share
Basic loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for a period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period.
Diluted loss per share
Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for a period by the diluted number of common shares. Diluted common shares includes the effects of instruments, such as share stock options and warrants, which could cause the number of common shares outstanding to increase.
The Company reported a net loss for the periods ended December 2024 and 2023; the Company has accordingly presented basic and diluted losses per share, which are the same, on a single line in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Diluted loss per share did not include the effect of share purchase stock options and warrants as they were anti-dilutive.
19. Financial instruments
Credit risk is the risk that another party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the Company by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to cash, cash equivalents and other receivables. The carrying amount of these financial instruments represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. Cash are composed of deposits with a Canadian financial institution.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
| Carrying amount | Contractual cash flows | 0 to 6 months | |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 422,209 | 422,209 | 422,209 |
The fair value of cash, cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payables and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.
20. Subsequent events
