INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To: the Shareholders of
Evolution Global Frontier Ventures Corp.
Opinion
I have audited the consolidated financial statements ofEvolution Global Frontier Ventures Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements offinancial position as at September 30,2022 and September 30,2021, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In my opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its cash flow for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
Basis for Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated financial statements section of my report. I am independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of consolidated the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related toGoing Concern
I draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of$46,780 during the year ended September 30,2022 and, as of that date, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had accumulated losses of $512,427 since its inception, and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue asa going concern. My opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management Discussion and Analysis.
My opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and I do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with my audit of the consolidated financial statements, my 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 my knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, I are required to report thatfact. I have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities ofManagement 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 IFRSs, 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 ofaccounting 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
My 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 my opinion. Reasonable assurance isa 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 ofusers taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. I 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 my 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 internalcontrol 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 ofthe 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 ofmanagement's use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue asa going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I are required to draw attention in my auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue asa 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 Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. I am responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. I remain solely responsible for my audit opinion.
I 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 I identify during my audit.
I also provide those charged with governance with a statement that I 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 my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Adam Kim, CPA, CA.

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Evolution Global Frontier Ventures Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated on October 13, 2016 under the Business Corporations Act, (British Columbia) as Ascension Exploration Inc. On June 8, 2020, the Company changed its name to Evolution Global Frontier Ventures Corp. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties located in Canada.
The Company's head office and records office is located at 2922 Mt. Seymour Pkwy, N. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7H 1E9. Effective December 11,2020, the Company shares traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
The recovery of the amounts comprising mineral properties is dependent upon the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to successfully complete their exploration and development, and upon future profitable production.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. At September 30,2022, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had accumulated losses of $512,427 (September 30, 2021 - $465,647) since its inception, and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. A number of alternatives including, but not limited to selling an interest in one or more of its properties or completing a financing, are being evaluated with the objective of funding ongoing activities and obtaining working capital. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Since March 2020, several measures have been implemented in Canada and the rest of the world in response to the increased impact from novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing. COVID-19 has caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. These measures could adversely affect and harm the Company by limiting access to our exploration and evaluation assets, which could prevent the Company from meeting its exploration expenditure obligations. The measures and disruption to business globally could potentially impact the ability to procure new exploration and evaluation mineral properties. The Company continues to operate its business at this time. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the currentcircumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on business operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company anticipates this could have an adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in future periods.
Spin-out of subsidiaries
During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company completed the spin-outs of all of its wholly-owned subsidiary corporations 1315611 B.C. Ltd., 1315617 B.C. Ltd., 1315622 B.C. Ltd., 1315640 B.C. Ltd., and Evergreen Acquisitions Corp. (the "Subcos") pursuant to the plan of arrangement on July 2, 2021 (the "Arrangement") to divest certain assets from the Company consistent of letters of intents (LOIs) and $1,000 cash deposits for each of the Subcos. The LOIs have no determinable fair value. The Arrangement received final court approval on August 31, 2021 and all spin-outs were completed as at September 30, 2022.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financialstatements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
Basis ofPresentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets measured at fair value. All dollar amounts presented are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise specified.
Basis ofConsolidation
A subsidiary is an entity the Company controls when it isexposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts ofthe Company and its principal subsidiaries:

Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the year. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include the recoverability of evaluation and exploration assets, recognition of deferred income tax amounts and provision for restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs.
Critical judgments exercised in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:
Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits ofmineral properties
Management has determined that mineral property costs incurred which were capitalized have future economic benefits and are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments ofeconomic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including geological and metallurgic information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to proven and probable reserves, scoping and feasibility studies, accessible facilities, existing permits and life of mine plans.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT'D)
Significant accounting judgments and estimates (Cont'd)
Income taxes
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified.
Site decommissioning obligations
The Company recognizes a provision for future abandonment activities in the financial statements equal to the net present value of the estimated future expenditures required to settle the estimated future obligation at the statement of financial position date. The measurement of the decommissioning obligation involves the use of estimates and assumptions including the discount rate, the expected timing of future expenditures and the amount of future abandonment costs. The estimates were made by management and external consultants considering current costs, technology and enacted legislation. As a result, there could be significant adjustments to the provisions established which would affect future financial results.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Foreign exchange
The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian Dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21,The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.
Transactions in currencies other than the Canadian Dollar are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period end exchange rate while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in comprehensive loss.
Financial instruments
The following is the Company's accounting policy for financial instruments under IFRS 9:
Recognition and Classification
The Company recognized a financial asset or financial liability on the statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions ofthe financial instrument.
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) ("FVTOCI") or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics.
Financial instruments (Cont'd)
Recognition and Classification (Cont'd)
Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.
The Company completed a detailed assessment of its financial assets and liabilities as at September 30,2021. The following table shows the classifications under IFRS 9:
| ClassificationunderIFRS9 | |
|---|---|
| Cash | FVTPL |
| Accountspayableandaccrued | |
| liabilities | Amortizedcost |
| DepositandLoanspayable | Amortizedcost |
Measurement
Financial assets atFVTOCI
Elected investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Financial assets and liabilities atamortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
Financial assets and liabilities atFVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company's own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Financial instruments (Cont'd)
Measurement (Cont'd)
Impairment of financial assets atamortized cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost.
At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses ifthe credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risksand rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same for the periods presented.
Mineral properties
The Company charges to operations all exploration and evaluation expenses incurred prior to the determination of economically recoverable reserves. These costs would also include periodic fees such as license and maintenance fees.
The Company capitalizes direct mineral property acquisition costs and those expenditures incurred following the determination that the property has economically recoverable reserves. Mineral property acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fairvalue of common shares issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreement. These costs are amortized over the estimated life of the property following commencement of commercial production, or written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, or when impairment in value has been determined to have occurred. A mineral property is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry practice for the currentstage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there isany indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value isdetermined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of theasset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amountis determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount,but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years.A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Provision for environmental rehabilitation
The Company recognizes liabilities for legal or constructive obligations associated with the retirement of mineral properties and equipment.The net present value of future rehabilitation costs is capitalized to the related asset along with a corresponding increase in the rehabilitation provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect 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 assets with a corresponding entry to the rehabilitation provision. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
As at September 30, 2022, the Company, given the early stage of exploration on its mineral properties, has no reclamation costs and therefore no provision for environmental rehabilitation has been made.
Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments
to tax payable with regards to previous years.Deferred tax is recorded using the liability method, providing for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Temporary differences are not provided for relating to goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities thataffect neither accounting or taxable loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extentthat they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax ratesenacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available againstwhich the asset can be utilized.

9. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. As the operations comprise a single reporting segment, amounts disclosed also represent segment amounts.
10. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets orliabilities;
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.
The Company enters into financial instruments to finance its operations in the normalcourse of business. The fair values of cash, receivable, accounts payable, deposit and loans payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of the Company's financial instruments has been classified within the fair value hierarchy as at September 30, 2022 as follows:
| September30,2022 | Level1 | Level2 | Level3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FinancialAssets | ||||
| Cash | $2,174 | - | - | $2,174 |
| $2,174 | - | - | $2,174 |
The fair value of the Company's financial instruments has been classified within the fair value hierarchy as at September 30, 2021 as follows:
| September30,2021 | Level1 | Level2 | Level3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FinancialAssets | ||||
| Cash | $5,778 | - | - | $5,778 |
| $5,778 | - | - | $5,778 |
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:
Foreign exchange risk
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is negligible. The foreign exchange risk is therefore manageable and not significant. The Company does not currently use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
Credit risk
The Company's cash is largely held in large Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not have any asset- backed commercial paper. The Company maintains cash deposits with Schedule A financial institution, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant credit losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.
10. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT'D)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not hold any financial liabilities with variable interest rates. The Company does maintain bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances and through short-term borrowing. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
Price risk
The ability of the Company to explore its mineral properties and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the marketprice of precious metals. The Company monitors precious metals prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
Capital management
The Company defines its capital as shareholders' equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors do not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage. As such, the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. In addition, the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will need to raise additional funds. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there issufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
11. INCOME TAXES
The income taxes shown in the Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss differ from the amounts obtained by applying statutory ratesto the loss before income taxes due to the following:

The Company has approximately $343,000 of non-capital losses available, which will expire through to 2042 and may be applied against future taxable income. The Company also has approximately $158,000 of exploration and development costs which are available for deduction against future income for tax purposes. At September 30, 2022, the net amount which would give rise to a deferred income tax asset has not been recognized as it is not probable that such benefit will be utilized in the future years.
