NORTH VALLEY RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
North Valley Resources Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated on January 26, 2012 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The Company is focused on acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in British Columbia. On August 5, 2021, the Company became listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “NVR”. The Company's registered office is 255 Battle Street West, Kamloops BC V2C 1G8.
These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. A different basis of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $11,771. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital of $171,200. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration activities, its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds and raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. The Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with current cash on hand, potential proceeds from the issuance of share capital and borrowings, if available. However, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. These matters represent material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. Such adjustments could be material.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
The condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
The condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 09, 2023.
Basis of measurement
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, modified where applicable. In addition, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

NORTH VALLEY RESOURCES LTD.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared, for all periods presented, following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as described in note 2 to the audited financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Significant accounting judgements
The preparation of condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in applying the Company's condensed interim financial statements include:
-
the assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty;
-
the classification of financial instruments;
-
the classification and allocation of expenses as exploration and evaluation expenditures or operating expenses; and
-
assessment of impairment of its exploration and evaluation assets.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The preparation of condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The Company's management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Estimates and assumptions where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets and the recoverability measurement of deferred tax assets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Accounting standard or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

7. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue its operations and to maintain a flexible capital structure, which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company considers its capital for this purpose to be its shareholders' equity.
The Company's primary source of capital is through the issuance of equity. The Company manages and adjusts its capital structure when changes in economic conditions occur. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may seek additional funding. The Company may require additional capital resources to meet its administrative overhead expenses in the long term. The Company believes it will be able to raise capital as required in the long term but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond its control. There are no external restrictions on the management of capital.
8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company thoroughly examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency exchange risk. Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Cash is measured at Level 1. The fair values of other financial instruments, which include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other receivables and due from / to related parties approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

NORTH VALLEY RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
- a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s current exposure to interest rate arises from the interest rate impact on its cash. The fair value of cash is not significantly affected by changes in short term interest rates.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash, which is held with a high-credit financial institution. As such, the Company’s credit exposure is minimal.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements. The Company addresses its liquidity through equity financing obtained through the sale of common shares. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.
- d) Foreign currency exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in foreign exchange rates. The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
a) On February 3, 2023 the Company’s 195,650 warrants with an exercise price of $0.10 expired without being exercised.
