ETRUSCUS RESOURCES CORP.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Etruscus Resources Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on July 1, 2017. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite #1400 - 1125 Howe St., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 2K8, and its operating office is located at Suite #604 - 850 West Hastings St., Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1E1. The Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “ETR”.

The Company is engaged in the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties and has not yet determined whether any of its properties contain economically recoverable reserves. To date, the Company has not earned any operating revenues and is in the exploration stage. The mining exploration business involves a high degree of risk. The recoverability of the amounts expended on mineral interests by the Company is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its mineral properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of its mineral interests.

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. As an exploration stage company, at September 30, 2024 the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit since its inception of $5,436,995 and had working capital of $164,157. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to raise adequate financing and to ultimately develop profitable operations. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Since incorporation on July 1, 2017, the Company raised equity financing from investors to provide for its early-stage exploration and working capital needs. The Company expects to undertake additional fundraising over the ensuing year, likely through private placements but the Company may also consider convertible debentures, third party earn-ins or joint ventures using debt or equity financing structures, to ensure the continuation of Company’s exploration activities. To the extent future financing is not available, future working capital commitments may not be satisfied and future exploration programs would face curtailment and could result in a loss of property ownership or earning opportunities for the Company.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the funds necessary to continue future operations through 2025. Should the Company be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the statements of financial position. These condensed interim financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

  1. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS – Mineral Properties (continued)

Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims, as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to its mineral properties, and, to the best of its knowledge, titles are in good standing. The following summarizes the Company’s properties:

Rock & Roll Property, Liard Mining Division, Northwest British Columbia, Canada

The Rock & Roll Property (the “Property”) consists of 58 contiguous mineral claims totaling 29,344 hectares situated in the Liard Mining Division of British Columbia, in the Iskut River Valley of the Coast Mountains in northwestern British Columbia.

In 2018, the Company acquired the first 14 claims totalling 4,723 Ha from Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. (“Equity”), for $50,000 cash and 800,000 common shares of the Company at a value of $0.10 per share, for a total initial acquisition cost of $130,000. Those claims are subject to a 2% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty, held by a group of six parties (the “Royalty Holders”). The Company received an option to purchase one-half of the 2% NSR (the “NSR Buyout Option”) for a future payment of $2,000,000 to the Royalty Holders within 30 days of the commencement of commercial production or December 31, 2030, whichever comes earlier. The Company then staked additional claims between 2018 and 2024 such that the property now consists of 58 claims. One of the 58 claims was previously part of the Sugar Property, and during the year ended March 31, 2024, it was combined into Rock & Roll due to its contiguous nature.

Equity has notified the Company that there may be unregistered royalties on the Property in favour of Prime Equities International Corporation. To the Company’s best information and belief, such royalties (i) are not evidenced by any completed legal instrument and (ii) have not been the subject of any notice or claim to Equity asserting such royalties. The Company has agreed to indemnify Equity against all costs, charges, and expenses, including any amount paid to settle a threatened or an actual action or to satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by Equity in the event that such possible royalties are validated as existing legal obligations binding on the Property.

Sugar Property - Liard Mining Division, Northwest British Columbia, Canada

The Sugar Property consisted of 11 claims staked by the Company, approximately 7 km northwest of the Rock & Roll Property and 25 km southwest of the Galore Creek deposit. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company allowed 10 of the 11 Sugar claims to lapse, and accordingly wrote down a proportionate amount of $112,092 of the capitalized exploration and evaluation costs. The capitalized amount of the remaining claim was $11,209 and was combined into the Rock & Roll Property.

Lewis Gold Property, Newfoundland, Canada

On June 10, 2024, the Company announced it had terminated its option to acquire the Lewis Gold Property. The Company had entered into the Lewis Option Agreement on July 20, 2021 to earn a 100% interest in the Lewis Gold Property (the “Lewis Property”) in central Newfoundland, from a group of three parties independent to the Company. Factors including market conditions, future property option payments, estimated future exploration outlays and data assessments resulted in the Board of Directors deciding to terminate this project ahead of the July 1, 2024 option date that otherwise would have required payment of $195,000 and the issuance of 650,000 common shares. The total net capitalized costs of $1,495,130 were accordingly written off to profit and loss.

  1. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS – Mineral Properties (continued)

Lewis Gold Property, Newfoundland, Canada (continued)

The Lewis Property consisted of two claim blocks in the heart of the Peyton Linear gold trend: the Peyton South claims and the Linear claims. Together, the Lewis Property totalled 25.67 square kilometers (2,567 Hectares ("Ha")) and established the Company in a key location within central Newfoundland's highly active exploration region. Each claim block carried a two percent (2%) Net Smelter Returns royalty, subject to the purchase of one percent (1%) for $2,000,000 on or before commercial production.

The Lewis Option Agreement required aggregate staged payments each year over a four-year period as follows:

Date Cash Shares
Acceptance Date $110,000 (paid) 500,000 (issued)
First Anniversary $150,000 (paid) 625,000 (issued)

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial instruments consist of financial assets and financial liabilities and are accounted for under IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value along with, in the case of a financial asset or liability not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit and loss.

The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:

i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss); and
ii) those to be measured at amortized cost.


ETRUSCUS RESOURCES CORP.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or other comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). Any fair value changes due to credit risk for liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss are recorded in other comprehensive income.

The Company has implemented the following classifications for financial instruments:

  • The Company's financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, and reclamation deposit. Cash and cash equivalents and reclamation deposit are classified as fair value through profit or loss on a recurring basis and any changes to fair value subsequent to initial recognition are recorded in profit or loss for the period in which they occur. The fair values of these financial instruments equal their carrying values.
  • Financial liabilities comprise accounts payable, lease liability and amounts due to related parties which are classified as other financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense is recorded in profit or loss, as applicable. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short term maturities.

The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

Fair values of financial instruments are classified in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine fair values, as follows:

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

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

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data, with fair value measurement derived from valuation techniques.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and reclamation deposits are measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

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

Interest rate risk

The Company is not exposed to material risk in the event of interest rate fluctuations. The Company has no long-term debt and has not entered into any interest rate swaps or other financial arrangements to mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations. For these reasons, the Company considers it is not subject to material risks should interest rates significantly change.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that one or more counterparties fail to meet their obligations. The Company is normally exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents, receivables, deposits and reclamation deposit. As at September 30, 2024, the Company’s maximum credit risk is equal to $433,390. The Company manages credit risk associated with its cash and cash equivalents by using reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk to be remote. Receivables have historically consisted primarily of goods and services for which management assesses the collectability of these amounts to be assured.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is related to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s basic approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. At September 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of $164,157 and will require additional financing to meet its obligations through 2025. The Company has historically relied on equity financings to satisfy its capital requirements and will continue to depend upon equity capital as required but may also enter into earn-in arrangements or the sale of certain property interests. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain its future financing needs on acceptable terms. The ability of the Company to continue on this course will depend, in part, on the prevailing market conditions, the market interest in financing the Company’s mineral property exploration programs, and the scope of such programs.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at September 30, 2024:

Carrying amount Contractual cash flows Within 1 year Within 2 years Within 3-5 years
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 67,072 $ 67,072 $ 67,072 $ - $ -
Demand loans to related parties 121,057 121,057 121,057 - -
Lease liability 15,185 15,694 15,694 - -
Total $ 203,314 $ 203,823 $ 203,823 $ - $ -

Market risk

The Company is subject to limited market risk as the price of its short-term money market investments that it may hold from time to time fluctuates due to market forces. The Company has no control over their fluctuating prices, does not hedge its investments and the fluctuations are limited in scope and volatility. As at September 30, 2024, the Company held no short-term money market investments.

Foreign currency risk

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and an immaterial amount of transactions are in other currencies. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is not significant and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.

11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Capital is comprised of all components of equity, and the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to fund critical exploration work, meet its ongoing liabilities, continue as a going concern, maintain creditworthiness and to ultimately maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Meeting current and future liabilities and obligations as a non-revenue early-stage explorer requires management to plan for its current and future cash needs while continually monitoring the Company’s internal, exploration and financing risks. The Company endeavors to maintain capital balances over the periods to alleviate unexpected cash flow shortfalls and remains confident that sufficient financing will be raised to ensure working capital needs are met and future exploration funds are available for future exploration. Management strives to minimize shareholder dilution through executing future financings at higher equity prices than prior financings, subject to market conditions.

The capital for operations and the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets has historically come from the issuance of common shares.

There were no changes in the Company’s capital management objectives during the period ended September 30, 2024.

12. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO CASH FLOWS

The significant non-cash investing and financing transactions during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 are as follows:

13. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company closed private placement subscriptions of $10,000 by issuing 100,000 non-flow-through units at a price of $0.10 per unit. For the financing as a whole, $402,000 was raised, $305,000 through the issuance of 2,440,000 flow-through units at $0.125 per unit and $97,000 through the issuance of 970,000 non-flow-through units at $0.10 per unit. Each flow-through unit consists of one flow-through common share and one-half (1/2) of one non-flow-through, non-transferable share purchase warrant with each whole warrant exercisable into one additional common share at a price of $0.18 per share for a 2-year period. Each non-flow-through unit consists of one common share and one-half (1/2) of a non-transferable share purchase warrant with each whole warrant exercisable into one additional common share at a price of $0.15 per share for a 2-year period. Total finders’ fees of $1,600 were paid and 16,000 finders’ warrants were issued, having the same warrant terms as the non-flow-through units.
