1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

EDM Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "EDM"), and its wholly owned subsidiary Scotia Mine Limited (collectively, the "Group") is engaged in base metals mining and related activities, including the exploration and evaluation of mineral property interests that are considered to have the potential for economic mineralization and development. The Company is a public company, which is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, incorporated on March 9, 2004, and domiciled in Canada. The address of its registered office is Purdy's Wharf, 1959 Upper Water Street, Suite 1301, Nova Scotia, B3J 3N2.

On January 12, 2022, the Company changed its name to EDM Resources Inc. On March 25, 2022, the Company changed the name of its wholly owned subsidiary to Scotia Mine Limited.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue in operation through the fiscal year and into the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations at the amounts stated in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The Company has not generated revenue from operations. The Company has incurred a loss of $1,434,625 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (nine months ended September 30, 2023 – $2,109,533), and as of that date has an accumulated deficit of $82,934,970 (December 31, 2023 – $81,500,345). As at September 30, 2024, cash amounted to $3,581 (December 31, 2023 – $8,665), and the Company had a working capital deficit of $811,099 (December 31, 2023 – deficit of $366,991). The ability of the Company to carry out its planned business objectives is dependent on its ability to raise adequate financing from lenders, shareholders, and other investors and/or generate operating profitability and positive cash flow. There can be no assurances that the Company will continue to obtain the additional financial resources necessary and/or achieve profitability or positive cash flows. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing, the Company will be required to curtail operations, and development activities and there would be significant uncertainty whether the Company would continue as a going concern and realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

At September 30, 2024, Management has forecasted that the Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to meet all planned environmental, exploration, development, general expenses, and property payments for the next twelve months, however, the Company plans to raise additional capital to further develop and explore its project, however the Company may increase or decrease expenditures as necessary to adjust to a changing capital market environment.

The above factors indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If management is unsuccessful in securing capital, the Company's assets may not be realized, or its liabilities discharged at their carrying amounts and these differences could be material.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by IASB and interpretations issued by IFRIC. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 28, 2024.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

In the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its active subsidiary, Scotia Mine Ltd. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

3. CASH HELD FOR RECLAMATION

The Company is required to make reclamation deposits in respect of its expected rehabilitation obligations as set out below.

The Company has agreed with the Province of Nova Scotia (Department of Natural Resources) to remediate the Scotia Mine facility to an agreed status at the end of the mining operations at the site; as a result the Company is required to make reclamation deposits in respect of this obligation. As at September 30, 2024, a $3,033,326 (December 31, 2023 – $3,007,611) cash bond, including accrued interest, is posted with the Province of Nova Scotia.

In addition, the Company has a reclamation bond with the Nova Scotia Department of Environment for $199,525 (December 31, 2023 – $197,878), including accrued interest, which is required to address the potential replacement of domestic water supplies that could potentially be downgraded by mining operations.

Nova Scotia Business Inc. ("NSBI") holds a reclamation bond in the amount of $100,000 (2023 – $100,000), in relation to the land which the Company leases from the organization in Sheet Harbour. The Company terminated its lease during the year ended December 31, 2020. NSBI has withheld the bond, pending determination of additional remediation costs which may be assessed to the Company, if any. The Company has disputed withholding the bond and the parties have commenced formal litigation procedures to resolve the matter. It is the Company's position that it has met if not exceeded its obligation, and accordingly no associated provision has been recognized in the company's financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

  1. DECOMMISSIONING LIABILITY

The Company has estimated that the present value of future rehabilitation costs required to remediate the Scotia Mine facility based on its current state.

Although the ultimate amount of the rehabilitation liability is uncertain, the best estimate of these obligations is based on information currently available. Current significant closure and rehabilitation activities include dismantling and removing facilities, equipment removal and remediation of the mine site.

The total amount of estimated undiscounted cash flow required to settle the Company's estimated obligation as at September 30, 2024 was $14,806,219 (December 31, 2023 – $14,806,219). The calculation of present value of estimated future cash flows assumed a discount rate of 3.17% (2023 – 3.17%) and an inflation rate of 2.9% (2023 – 2.9%). Rehabilitation costs are estimated to be settled at various dates between 2029 and 2032.

The Plan provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time, in its discretion, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, the option to purchase common shares. The Plan provides for a floating maximum limit of 10% of the outstanding common shares of the common shares as permitted by the policies of the TSX-V. Options under the Plan have terms and vesting as determined by the Board. The expiry date shall not be more than 10 years from the date of grant.

Diluted loss per share, which reflects the maximum possible dilution from the potential exercise of warrants and stock options, is the same as basic loss per share for the period ended. The effect of potential issuances of shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 as they would decrease the loss per share, consequently the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted are the same.
