- Nature of operations
Exploits Discovery Corp. ("Exploits" or the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on May 28, 2018 as "1165847 B.C. Ltd." The Company's head office is at 52 Church St, Suite 206, Toronto, ON, M5C 2B5. The Company is focused on evaluating, acquiring, and exploring mineral properties, in Canada and abroad. The Company's shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Exchange" or "CSE") under the symbol NFLD.
The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current operations, including exploration and evaluation programs, will result in profitable mining operations. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, and the ability of the Company to raise additional financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next 12 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a loss and comprehensive loss of $819,367 and had shareholders' equity of $23,227,507 and, as of that date, had working capital of $4,402,299.
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon successful results from its mineral property exploration activities and its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company estimates based on its current working capital at March 31, 2025, that it has sufficient funds to operate for the ensuing 12 months.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.
- Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The principal accounting policies and critical estimates and judgements used when compiling these consolidated financial statements are set out below.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned Canadian subsidiaries; Exploits Gold Corp and 1255919 BC Ltd. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in full.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 28, 2025.

3. Capital Management
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 of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does 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 Company defines its capital to comprise its shareholders' equity, specifically its share capital, warrant and option reserve and accumulated deficit. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration activity and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company is not exposed to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
4. Financial Risk Factors
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk).
Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Company's Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfil its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and taxes and other receivables. Cash consists of cash on deposit with banks with high credit worthiness. Included in taxes and other receivables at March 31, 2025 is $292,508 (December 31, 2024 - $240,642) relating to goods and services taxes receivable and payroll taxes refundable from various Canadian government agencies. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to its financial instruments is not significant.
Liquidity Risk
The Company's liquidity risk is the risk that Company has insufficient funds to settle its contractual financial liabilities as they fall due. The Company manages this risk by ensuring sufficient funds are available as contractual cash flows become due.
As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $4,228,083 as well as marketable securities of $24,110, to settle current liabilities of $215,595.
While the Company has been successful in obtaining required funding in the past, there is no assurance that future financings will be available.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that might arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity and equity prices.

i. Interest Rate Risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to limited interest rate risk, as it only holds cash and does not have any interest-bearing debt.
ii. Foreign Currency Risk:
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal.
