Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)


DAVIDSON & COMPANY LLP
Chartered Professional Accountants

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Element79 Gold Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Element79 Gold Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at August 31, 2024, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated 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 in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that as at August 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $3,216, current liabilities of $2,689,689 and has incurred accumulated losses of $23,665,141 since inception. As stated in Note 1, these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Matters

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2023, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on February 16, 2024.

As part of our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2024, we also audited the adjustment described in Note 20 that was applied to restate the consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023. In our opinion, the adjustment has been appropriately applied. We were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to the consolidated financial statements of Company for the year ended August 31, 2023, other than with respect to the adjustment and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023, taken as a whole.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year ended. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our auditor's report.

Assessment of Impairment Indicators of Exploration and Evaluation Assets ("E&E Assets")

As described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the Company's E&E Assets was $12,409,973 as of August 31, 2024. As more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, management assesses E&E Assets for indicators of impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount.

The principal considerations for our determination that the assessment of impairment indicators of the E&E Assets is a key audit matter is that there was judgment made by management when assessing whether there were indicators of impairment, specifically relating to the properties' carrying amount which is impacted by the Company's intent and ability to continue to explore and evaluate these properties. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate audit evidence relating to the judgments made by management in their assessment of indicators of impairment that could give rise to the requirement to prepare an estimate of the recoverable amount of the E&E Assets.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures included, among others:

  • Evaluating management's assessment of impairment indicators in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.
  • Evaluating the intent for the E&E Assets through discussion and communication with management.
  • Reviewing the Company's recent expenditure activity.
  • Assessing compliance with agreements including reviewing option agreements and vouching cash payment and share issuance.
  • Assessing the Company's rights to explore E&E Assets including confirmation request to optionor to ensure good standing of agreement.
  • Obtaining, on a test basis, confirmation of title to ensure mineral rights underlying the E&E Assets are in good standing.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.


Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company'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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Company'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 Company'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 consolidated 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We 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.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.


From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Catherine Tai.

Element79 Gold Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For The Years Ended August 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Element79 Gold Corp. (“Element79” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on February 27, 2020. Element79 is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Peru, Canada and the United States of America. The Company is listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange (“the Exchange”) with the trading symbol ELEM, on the OTC and OTCQB with a trading symbol ELMGF and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with the trading symbol 7YS.

The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 1100, 1111 Melville Street, Vancouver B.C., V6E 3V6.

Going concern

These consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue its operations and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at August 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $3,216, current liabilities of $2,689,689 and has incurred accumulated losses of $23,665,141 since inception.

The Company is a mineral exploration company focusing on the acquisition and exploration and evaluation of mineral property interests. The Company’s continuation as a going concern and the underlying value and recoverability of the carrying amounts for exploration and evaluation assets are entirely dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations and to complete the exploration and evaluation of mineral property interests, and achievement of future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on its statements of financial position. These Financial Statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of the financial position classifications that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These Financial Statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable. These Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated, and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except per share values. The functional currency of the Company and its Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the Company's Peruvian subsidiaries is the Peruvian new sol, which is determined to be the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiaries operate.

The Financial Statements were approved and authorized for issue by the directors of the Company on February 25, 2025.

Statement of Compliance and Presentation

These Financial Statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Consolidation

These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, and its subsidiaries of which it has control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, have been eliminated. The Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:

Subsidiary Ownership Interest (2024) Ownership Interest (2023) Jurisdiction Nature of Operations
Calipuy Resources Inc. (“Calipuy”) 100% 100% BC, Canada Holding company
Calipuy Holdings Inc. 100% 100% BC, Canada Holding company
1316524 B.C. Ltd 100% 100% BC, Canada Inactive
Synergy Metals Inc. (“Synergy”) 83.68% 100% BC, Canada Start-up
ELEM US Holdings LLC 100% 100% NV, USA Holding company
ELEM Maverick Springs LLC 100% 100% NV, USA Holding company
ELEM Battle Mountain LLC 100% 100% NV, USA Holding company
Compania Minera Calipuy S.A.C. 100% 100% Peru Holding company
Minas Lucero Del Sur S.A.C. 100% 100% Peru Mining and exploration

On June 28, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Calipuy, which, through its subsidiaries, holds a 100% interest the Lucero mine, Machacala mine project and Urumalqui project.

Effective on February 18, 2023, the Company terminated its acquisition of interest in the Machacala mine project and Urumalqui project with the counterparties. Pursuant to the termination of these agreements, the Company will return 121,030 common shares to the treasury and return all shares of Minera Machacala S.A.C. and Compania Minera SFJ S.A.C., which were acquired through the acquisition of Calipuy to their former owners.

On December 1, 2023, Synergy issued 390,000 common shares pursuant to the acquisition of the Dale property. As a result, the Company’s ownership interest in Synergy was reduced from 100% to 83.68%.

Control

The Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has:

  • Power over an investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support the presumption and when the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over the investee, including:

  • the contractual arrangements with the other vote holders of the investee
  • rights arising from other contractual arrangements
  • the Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights

The Company reassesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control over the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year ended August 31, 2024 are included in the Financial Statements from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Consolidation (continued)

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not held by the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented separately in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of changes in equity, separate from equity attributable to equity holders of the Company.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Company's accounting policies. All inter-company assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Company are eliminated in full on consolidation.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Estimates and associated assumptions applied in determining asset or liability values are based on historical experience and various other factors including other sources that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances but are not necessarily readily apparent or recognizable at the time such estimates or assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The information about significant areas of estimates considered by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

Exploration and evaluation expenditures

The application of the Company's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgment in determining the point at which a property has economically recoverable resources, in which case subsequent exploration costs and the costs incurred to develop the property are capitalized into development assets. The determination may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If, after an expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in profit or loss in the year when new information becomes available.

Determining whether to test for impairment of mineral exploration properties and deferred exploration assets requires management's judgment regarding the following factors, among others: the year for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; substantive expenditure on further exploration and evaluation of mineral resources in a specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in a specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; or sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in a specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amounts of the exploration assets are unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)

Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates (continued)

Exploration and evaluation expenditures (continued)

When an indication of impairment loss or a reversal of an impairment loss exists, the recoverable amount of the individual asset must be estimated. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs must be determined. Identifying the cash-generating units requires management judgment. In testing an individual asset or cash-generating unit for impairment and identifying a reversal of impairment losses, management estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or the cash-generating unit. This requires management to make several assumptions as to future events or circumstances. These assumptions and estimates are subject to change if new information becomes available. Actual results with respect to impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses could differ in such a situation and significant adjustments to the Company's assets and earnings may occur during the next year.

Decommissioning and restoration costs

The Company recognizes provisions for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the reclamation of exploration and evaluation properties and retirement of long-term assets, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant, site restoration work and other similar retirement activities is added to the carrying amount of the related asset, and depreciated on the same basis as the related asset, along with a corresponding increase in the provision in the year incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the current market assessments of the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value.

The Company's estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to the related asset with a corresponding entry to the provision.

Deferred income taxes

Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable earnings in future years, in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that the cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the statement of financial position date, if any, could be impacted. Additionally, future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future years.

Convertible debt conversion option

The identification of convertible debt components is based on interpretations of the substance of the contractual arrangement and therefore requires judgment from management. The separation of the components affects the initial recognition of the convertible debenture at issuance and the subsequent measurement of interest on the liability component. The determination of fair value of the liability is also based on a number of assumptions, including contractual future cash flows, discount rates, and the presence of any derivative financial instruments. Additionally, significant judgment is required when accounting for the redemption, conversion or modification of these instruments.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)

Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates (continued)

Stock options and warrants

Determining the fair value of warrants and stock options requires estimates related to the choice of a pricing model, the estimation of stock price volatility, the expected forfeiture rate and the expected term of the underlying instruments. Any changes in the estimates or inputs utilized to determine fair value could have a significant impact on the Company's future operating results or on other components of shareholders' equity.

Fair value of investments in securities not quoted in an active market

Where the fair values of financial instruments cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Changes in estimates and assumptions about these inputs could affect the reported fair value.

The information about significant areas of judgment considered by management in preparing the Financial Statements is as follows:

i. the determination of categories of financial assets and financial liabilities has been identified as an accounting policy which involves judgments or assessments made by management;
ii. assessing control and significant influence over an investee;
iii. the determination of the classification and measurements of assets held for sale;
iv. the determination of functional currency; and
v. the Company's assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern requires judgments about the Company's ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements (Note 1). The Company's objectives are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Exploration and evaluation properties

Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are expensed as incurred.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses and costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity. Option payments are considered acquisition costs, provided that the Company has the intention of exercising the underlying option, and may consist of cash payments and/or share issuances at the market price of the Company's shares at the date of issuance.

Property option agreements are exercisable at the option of the optionee. Therefore, option payments are recorded when payment is made and not accrued.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. The Company capitalizes costs to specific blocks of claims or areas of geological interest. Government tax credits and grants received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs.

Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment if facts or circumstances indicate that impairment exists. Examples of such facts and circumstances are as follows:

  • The period for which the Company has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;
  • Substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;

Page | 9


Element79 Gold Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For The Years Ended August 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)

Exploration and evaluation properties (continued)

  • Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; and
  • Sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

After technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, the Company stops capitalizing expenditures for the applicable block of claims or geological area of interest and tests the asset for impairment. The capitalized balance, net of any impairment recognized, is then reclassified to either tangible or intangible mine development assets according to the nature of the asset, and amortized over the life of the mine.

Assets held-for-sale

Non-current assets, or disposal comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets, or disposals, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro-rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to financial assets or investment property, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Company's other accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-distribution and subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency, are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated.

Foreign operations

Subsidiaries that have functional currencies other than the Canadian dollar translate their statement of operations items at the average rate during the year. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange rate variations resulting from the retranslation at the closing rate of the net investment in these subsidiaries, together with differences between their statement of operations items translated at actual and average rates, are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). On disposition or partial disposition of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of related exchange difference is recognized in the statement of operations.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed when an event occurs that indicates impairment. Recoverability is based on factors such as future asset utilization and the future discounted cash flows expected to result from the use or sale of the related assets. An impairment loss is recognized in the year when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset will not be recoverable. At that time, the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount, which equals the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

Page | 10


Element79 Gold Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For The Years Ended August 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)

Impairment of long-lived assets (continued)

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Financial instruments

At initial recognition, financial assets are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, unless they are trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component in accordance with IFRS 15, which shall be measured at their transaction price. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification based on both the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets as follows:

Financial assets at amortized cost

The financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. Transaction costs are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset.

Financial assets at FVTOCI

The financial asset is subsequently measured at FVTOCI if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objectives are achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal amount outstanding or if an irrevocable election was made for certain equity instruments at initial recognition. After initial recognition, the financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized within other comprehensive income. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Transaction costs are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset.

Financial assets at FVTPL

A financial asset shall be measured at FVTPL if it is not measured at amortized cost or at FVTOCI. If the financial asset that would otherwise be measured at FVTPL is not acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term, not part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking or a derivative, the Company may make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to present subsequent fair value changes of the equity instrument in OCI. Transaction costs associated with financial assets at FVTPL are expensed as incurred. These assets are carried at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss.

Derivatives designed as hedging instruments in an effective hedge

The Company does not hold or have any exposure to derivative instruments.


Element79 Gold Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For The Years Ended August 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

The Company shall recognize a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI, a lease receivable, a contract asset or a loan commitment. If the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance shall be measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses, otherwise, it shall be measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses.

Financial liabilities

At initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost unless they are financial liabilities at FVTPL (including derivatives that are liabilities). Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of a financial liability are included in the initial carrying value of financial liabilities if they are not measured at FVTPL. The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as follows:

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs. After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses arising on the repurchase, settlement or cancellation of liabilities are recognized respectively in interest, other revenues and finance costs.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are carried at fair value with gains or losses recognized in net income (loss). Where the financial liability is designated as at FVTPL, only the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to the changes in the credit risk of that liability shall be presented in OCI and the remaining amount of changes in fair value presented in profit or loss. Transaction costs on financial liabilities at FVTPL are expensed as incurred.

Convertible debentures

Convertible debentures are compound financial instruments that are recorded in part as a liability and in part as shareholders' equity. The Company uses the "residual valuation" method to determine the debt and equity components of the convertible debentures. Under the residual valuation method, the liability component is determined by estimating the present value of the future cash payments discounted at a rate of interest which the Company would be charged by the market for similar debt without the conversion option. The difference between the net proceeds of the debenture and the liability component is recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Debentures payable is accreted to its face value at maturity over the term of the debt through a charge to operations.

De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred, and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On de-recognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) is recognized in profit or loss. Where a transfer does not result in a derecognition due to continuing involvement, the Company shall continue to recognize the transferred asset and recognize a financial liability of the consideration received.

For financial liabilities, they are derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed is recognized in profit or loss.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)

Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities

The Company recognizes provisions for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the reclamation of exploration and evaluation properties and retirement of long-term assets, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant, site restoration work and other similar retirement activities is added to the carrying amount of the related asset, and depreciated on the same basis as the related asset, along with a corresponding increase in the provision in the year incurred.

Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the current market assessments of the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value.

The Company’s estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to the related asset with a corresponding entry to the provision.

Income taxes

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income.

Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting year the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Share capital

Common shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from share capital.

The proceeds from the issuance of units are allocated between common shares and common share purchase warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated to common shares based on the fair value of a common share at the issuance date of the unit offering and any residual remaining is allocated to common share purchase warrants. Subsequent to the initial recognition of warrants, any modification to the original terms of the warrants attached to units that were initially recognized in accordance with the residual value approach does not result in a re-measurement adjustment.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant year.

Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive instruments were converted.

Share-based compensation

The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as share-based compensation expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

Where equity instruments are granted to parties other than employees, they are recorded by reference to the fair value of the services received. If the fair value of the services received cannot be reliably estimated, the Company measures the services received by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the counterparty renders service.

All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in share-based payment reserve, unless exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in share-based payment reserve is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid. When options are forfeited or are not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognized in share-based payments is transferred to accumulated losses (deficit).

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and New Accounting Pronouncements

The following amendments were adopted by the Company on August 1, 2024:

i. Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) - the amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy.

ii. Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8) - the amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The amendments clarify that a change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error.

There was no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of these amendments.

Issued but Not Yet Effective:

In April 2024, the IASB issued a new IFRS accounting standard to improve the reporting of financial performance. IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements replaces IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements. The standard will become effective January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this new standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

(iv) $93,000 in Synergy common shares on or before December 31, 2024 (issued 930,000 Synergy common shares subsequent to the year ended August 31, 2024)

d) Execute and deliver to the Optionor on the date Company went public (delivered), the NSR Royalty granting the Optionor a 0.5% NSR royalty, subject to the right of the Company to re-purchase 100% of the NSR royalty for a total consideration of $525,000 at any time.

A pre-existing 1% NSR royalty to the benefit of Keystone Associates Inc. existed on the property prior to this agreement and is additional to the 0.5% NSR royalty required as part of Element79’s option to purchase.

In addition to the option agreement, the Company paid a finder’s fee by issuance of 8,000 common shares of the Company valued at $1,600 to a third party.

On July 17, 2023, the Company transferred all rights and data related to the Dale Property to its subsidiary, Synergy. The Company intends to spin out and sell Synergy through a Plan of Arrangement.

The fair value of the liability component at the time of issue was calculated as the discounted cash flows for the Notes assuming a 18% discount rate, which was the estimated rate for a similar debenture without the equity component. The fair value of the equity component was determined at the time of issue as the difference between the face value of the Notes and the fair value of the liability component.

9. LOAN PAYABLE (continued)

The fair value of the liability component is $132,624 and the equity component of $12,376 was allocated to reserves to account for the warrants contained within the Units.

Determination of Fair Value

Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

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 and liabilities

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability; and

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

The carrying amounts for cash, amount receivable and trade payable, due to related parties and loan payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of reclamation deposit, convertible debenture and provisions approximates its fair value because the discount rate approximates market interest rate. The fair value of the Company's investments in Sun Silver (Note 5) was based on level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Within Level 3, the Company includes its investment in Centra which is a private company. The key assumptions used in the valuation of these instruments typically include (but are not limited to) company-specific information used in modelling, the valuation and share performance of comparable publicly-traded companies, trends in general market conditions, the value at which a recent financing was done by the investee, liquidation analysis and a strategic review. For investments valued based on trends in comparable entities, general market conditions and specific company information, the inputs used can be highly judgmental. It was concluded by management that the fair value of Company's investment in Centra was indeterminable but management believed that the fair value approximated a nominal value as at August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

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 credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with large financial institutions. The Company does not have cash that is invested in asset backed commercial paper.

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 manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and restricted cash balances. The Company continuously monitors both actual and forecasted cash flows and matches the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity and equity prices.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any borrowings that bear variable interest rates. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash held with chartered Canadian financial institutions. This risk is considered minimal.

Foreign currency risk

The Company may be exposed to currency risk by incurring certain expenditures in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its currency risk.

Commodity price risk

Commodity price risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices, affecting results of operations and cash generated from operating activities. Such prices may also affect the value of exploration and development properties and the level of spending for future activities.

Equity price risk

Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market.

As at August 31, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $3,216 (August 31, 2023 – $8,890) and amounts receivable of $60,522 (August 31, 2023 – $11,446) to settle current liabilities due in twelve months or less of $2,689,689 (August 31, 2023 – $6,376,871) and carry out its planned exploration program in the coming year.

(ii) Sustain the Company's operations and growth throughout metals and materials cycles; and
(iii) Ensure compliance with the covenants of any applicable credit facility and other financing facilities used from time to time.

The Company monitors its capital and capital structure on an ongoing basis to ensure it is sufficient to achieve the Company's short-term and long-term strategic objectives. Management primarily funds the Company's exploration by issuing share capital, rather than using other capital sources that require fixed repayments of principal and interest. Management closely monitors its cash balance. The balance of cash as at August 31, 2024, was $3,216 (August 31, 2023 – $8,890).

There are presently no formal capital requirements with which the Company has not complied.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is appropriate. There were no changes to capital management during the year ended August 31, 2024.
