Element79 Gold Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 (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. The Company is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.

The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 230, 997 Seymour Street, Vancouver B.C., V6B 3M1.

Going concern

These unaudited condensed interim 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 May 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $14,117, liabilities of $972,049 and incurred accumulated losses of $3,899,503 since inception.

The Company is a mineral exploration company focusing on the acquisition and development 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 development of mineral property interests, and achievement of future profitable production from 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.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic known as COVID-19. This is causing significant financial market and social dislocation. This has also resulted in significant economic uncertainty and consequently, it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on the Company’s future financial results.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Basis of presentation

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency, except where otherwise indicated, and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting standards Board (“IASB”).

Page | 6

Element79 Gold Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Statement of compliance (continued)

These condensed interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company. These condensed interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s August 31, 2021, annual financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The Company makes estimates about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

The critical judgements and estimates applied in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in and disclosed in note 4 of the audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2021.

5. EQUITY DRAWDOWN FACILITY (continued)

In connection with the Facility, the Company paid a 3% commission in shares (3,000,000 common shares valued at $150,000) and issued share purchase warrants equal to 8.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company at the time of closing of the Facility (3,394,050 share purchase warrants valued at $208,724). Each of the share purchase warrants can be exercised to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share until October 1, 2023 (Note 9). The value of the financing fees is recorded as a deferred financing charge and is being amortized as share issue costs based on the amount drawn down from the Facility.

On May 5, 2022, the Company has received an increased equity drawdown facility commitment from Crescita to the Company from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 (the “Amendment”). The additional financing is being made available pursuant to an Amendment dated May 2, 2022, to the original investment and advisory agreement with Crescita dated September 14, 2020.

In addition to providing for the additional $5,000,000 equity drawdown commitment, the Amendment provides an additional requirement for the company to make a top up payment to Crescita in the event that the volume weighted average price of the Company's common shares is less than the subscription price paid by Crescita for a particular drawdown in the 30 days following the drawdown and amends the fees payable to Crescita for the second commitment. The Company paid an 8% fee to Crescita on the additional commitment satisfied by the issuance of 533,333 common shares. These shares are subject to a four-month hold (Notes 9 and 11). The value of the financing fees is recorded as a deferred financing charges to be amortized based on the amount drawn down from the Facility.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2022, the Company received $4,670,000 from the Facility, issuing 1,564,945 common share (Note 9) and reserving $3,670,000 value of common shares for future issuance. As at May 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the deferred financing charge is $686,979 (August 31, 2021 - $358,724).

6. LOANS PAYABLE

The diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options, share purchase warrants and convertible debentures, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, if dilutive. As at May 31, 2022, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, as stock options or share purchase warrants have an anti-dilutive effect.

The Company is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:

  • Market Risk

  • Credit Risk

  • Liquidity Risk

  • Currency Risk

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

Page | 20

Element79 Gold Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, polices and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous years unless otherwise stated in the note.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

General Objectives, Policies and Processes

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company’s finance function. The Board of Directors receives monthly reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.

The overall objective of the Board of Directors is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of two types of risk: interest rate risk and equity price risk.

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 has a promissory note with a fixed interest rate of 6% per annum. Therefore, interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash and cash equivalents held with chartered Canadian financial institutions. This risk is considered minimal.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty 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 major financial institutions.

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.

As at May 31, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $14,117 (August 31, 2021 – $302,234) and amounts receivables of $112,246 (August 31, 2021 – $19,810) to settle current liabilities due in twelve months or less of $972,049 (August 31, 2021 – $412,655) and carry out its planned exploration program in the coming year. Management seeks additional financing through the

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

issuance of equity instruments to continue its operations. There can be no assurance it will be able to do so.

Page | 22

Element79 Gold Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Currency Risk

The Company might be exposed to currency risk by incurring certain expenditures in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The Company acquired the Nevada Portfolio during the nine months ended May 31, 2022. As a result, the Company will incur more expenditures in U.S. Dollar in the future. During the nine months ended May 31, 2022, the Company paid certain acquisitions costs in U.S. Dollar, as disclosed in Note 4. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its currency risk. Management will continue to monitor its spending in foreign currency and will develop a strategy to manage any potential risk.

Determination of Fair Value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets 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, trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

13. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to maintain an appropriate capital base in order to:

  1. Advance the Company's corporate strategies to create long-term value for its stakeholders;

  2. Sustain the Company's operations and growth throughout metals and materials cycles; and

  3. 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 May 31, 2022, was $14,117 (August 31, 2021 – $302,234).

Page | 23

Element79 Gold Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

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 nine months ended May 31, 2022.

18. CORRECTION OF ERROR IN PRIOR QUARTERS

In the current period, management identified an error in the treatment of its deferred financing charges, which resulted in an overstatement of expenses and deficit and an overstatement of share capital by $251,107 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and $17,936 for the three months ended February 28, 2022 ($269,043 for the six months ended February 28, 2022).
