Note 1 – Nature and Continuance of Operations
Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (the “Company” or “Fancamp”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Company owns interests in mineral properties in the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick, Canada. Fancamp is an exploration stage enterprise in the business of mineral exploration. It is in the process of exploring its mineral properties interests and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The address of its head office is 7290 Gray Avenue, Burnaby, BC, V5J 3Z2 and registered office is 19[th] Floor, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6C 3H4. The Company’s financial year end is April 30. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended January 31, 2023 were approved by the Board of Directors on March 31, 2023.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. The Company has not yet experienced a material negative impact to its business, results of operations, or financial position as a result of COVID-19. The future financial effects to the Company, if any, of COVID-19 cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its federally incorporated, 96% owned subsidiary, The Magpie Mines Inc. (the “Subsidiary” or “Magpie”) and 100% owned subsidiary, FNC Technologies Inc. The functional currency of these two subsidiaries is Canadian $’s and all significant intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated on consolidation.
Basis of Measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 3 of the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2022.
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgment, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The areas involving significant estimates and judgements have been set out in Note 3 of the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2022 and detailed below.
Investment in Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and
- 1 -
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements January 31, 2023 and 2022
==> picture [77 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity, but can also arise where the Company holds less than 20% if it has the power to be actively involved and influential in policy decision affecting the entity.
An investment in associate is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost adjusted for postacquisition changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associates, less any impairment losses. Losses in an associate in excess of the Company’s interest in that associate are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred a legal or constructive obligation to make payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized profits or losses on transactions between the Company and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest therein.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any evidence that an investment in associate is impaired. This assessment is generally made with reference to the timing of exploration work, work programs proposed, exploration results achieved, and an assessment of the likely results to be achieved from performance of further exploration by the associate. When there is evidence that an investment in associate is impaired, the carrying amount of such investment is compared to its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of an investment in associate is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss, being the excess of carrying amount over the recoverable amount, is recognized in the period of impairment. When an impairment loss reverses in a subsequent period, the carrying amount of the investment in associate is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined has an impairment loss not been previously recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in net earnings in the period the reversal occurs.
Significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year and have been consistently applied to all years presented.
Note 4 –Future Accounting Changes
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after May 1, 2022. All future accounting changes are either not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded.
Note 5 – Marketable Securities
The Company holds shares and warrants in various public companies throughout the mining industry. During the nine months ended January 31, 2023, these shares and warrants were fair valued and this resulted in an unrealized gain of $1,047,199 (2022 – unrealized loss of $2,880,522). During the nine months ended January 31, 2023, the Company disposed of some marketable securities resulting in a gain of $273,240 (2022 $nil).
The shares in various public companies are classified as FVTPL and are recorded at fair value using the quoted market price as at January 31, 2023 and are therefore classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 5 – Marketable Securities - Continued
The warrants in various public companies are classified as FVTPL and are recorded at fair value using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with observable inputs and are therefore classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The shares in the private company are classified as FVTPL and are recorded at fair value using market inputs, estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument as at January 31, 2023 and are therefore classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes information regarding the Company's marketable securities as at January 31, 2023 and 2022:

Note 12 – Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management
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 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.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, marketable securities, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and pilot plant grant obligation. The carrying value of cash, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, pilot plant grant obligation and due to related party approximate their fair values due to their immediate or short-term maturity. Marketable securities consisting of common shares are recorded at fair value based on the quoted market

process in active markets at the recording date, which is consistent with Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Marketable securities consisting of warrants are recorded at fair value based on a BlackScholes pricing model consistent with Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Marketable securities consisting of common shares in private companies are recorded at fair value based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data, which is consistent with Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and equity market risk. The Company’s objective with respect to risk management is to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. The Board of Directors provides direction and guidance to management with respect to risk management. Management is responsible for establishing controls and procedures to ensure that financial risks are mitigated to acceptable levels.
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as follows:
| January 31, 2023 | January 31, 2022 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities | ||
| $ | $ | ||
| Level | 1 | 20,546,844 | 19,667,767 |
| Level | 2 | - | - |
| Level | 3 | 893,200 | 893,200 |
There have been no changes between levels during the period.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash. The Company manages its credit risk on bank deposits by holding deposits in high credit quality banking institutions in Canada.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient capital to meet liabilities when due after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash that might be raised from equity financings. As at January 31, 2023, the Company had current assets of $26,506,354 (2022 - $27,101,830) and current liabilities of $728,558 (2022 - $862,024). All of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 60 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the expected short and long term cash requirements.
Market risk
Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. The Company’s marketable securities are subject to market risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that 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
- 12 -
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements January 31, 2023 and 2022
==> picture [77 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
Note 12 – Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management - Continued
expose the Company to interest rate risk with respect to its cash flow. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations considering that its assets and liabilities are stated in Canadian dollars.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for minerals are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand as well as the relationship between the Canadian and United States dollar, as outlined above. As the Company has not yet developed commercial mineral interests, it is not exposed to commodity price risk at this time.
Note 13 – Capital Management
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain investor and market confidence and a flexible capital structure which will allow it to execute on its capital expenditure program, which includes expenditures primarily in the exploration and evaluation assets, which may or may not be successful. Therefore, the Company monitors the level of risk incurred in its capital expenditures to balance the equity in its capital structure.
The Company manages its common shares as capital. As the Company is in the exploration stage, its principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares. It is the Company’s objective to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to explore and develop its projects for the benefit of its stakeholders. No changes were made in the objectives, policies and processes for managing capital during the year. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirement.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the exploration and development of its mineral properties. The Board of Directors has not established quantitative capital structure criteria for management, but will review on a regular basis the capital structure of the Company to ensure its appropriateness to the stage of development of the business.
The properties in which the Company currently has interest are in the exploration stage and the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and development 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.
In order to facilitate the management of capital and maintenance and development of future mining sites, the Company may issue new equity, incur additional debt, option its properties for cash and/or expenditure commitments from optionees, enter into joint venture arrangements, or dispose of certain assets. The Company’s investment policy is to hold cash in interest bearing accounts at high credit quality financial institutions to maximize liquidity. In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay dividends. The Company expects to continue to raise funds, from time to time, to continue meeting its capital management objectives.

Note 14 – Contingencies
The Magpie Mines Inc.
In April 2019, the Company and Magpie (“Defendants”) received a statement of claim relating to liquidated damages for termination of the agreement dated January 1, 2018 whereby a former director (the “Former Officer”) acted as consultant to Fancamp to assist Magpie with mineral engineering research and development activities (the “Agreement”), for alleged unpaid services and for alleged moral and punitive damages, in the aggregate amount of approximately $933,500 (the “Damages”). The Company has recorded $375,142.60 in the Due to Related Parties for services rendered. Management has not recognized provision for remaining claimed amount given the conditions to recognize provision were not met.
In June 2019, the Defendants filed a statement of defense in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice whereby they alleged that Former Officer breached his obligations towards the Defendants by misappropriating part of the intellectual property of Magpie through the named company controlled by the Former Officer, and misusing the funds of Magpie, including a grant from Sustainable Development Technology Canada. These actions led to the termination of the Agreement in November 2018.
Based on the facts of the case, Fancamp believes that the litigation instituted by the Plaintiffs is without merit and believes that the Plaintiffs are not entitled to any of the Damages. As such, the Defendants intend to vigorously defend themselves against the Plaintiffs.
Concurrently with the proceedings described above, on July 11, 2019, Fancamp and Magpie filed an Originating Application to Institute Proceedings (the “Originating Application”) against the Former Officer and two named companies controlled by him for damages and declaratory judgment in the Superior Court of Quebec, notably to declare Fancamp/Magpie owner of the intellectual property in dispute and to claim monetary damages they are entitled to. The monetary damages notably cover costs that have been incurred for professional services rendered for the development of the intellectual property with regards to the process for the recovery of high-grade synthetic rutile from low-grade titanium bearing ores of Magpie, costs incurred for the patent applications, costs of third parties that were not authorized and misuse of funds, amounts received as a result of misappropriation of the intellectual property, and loss of profits associated to the commercialization of the intellectual property, in the aggregate amount of approximately $930,000. On October 19, 2019, this application was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds. This decision does not affect the Company’s ability to pursue their claims by way of a counterclaim in the Ontario action.
As of January 31, 2023, all litigations are still in process.
Termination of Mr. Smith
On April 1, 2021 the consulting agreement between the Company and Peter H. Smith was terminated with cause. On May 31, 2021, Peter H. Smith filed, by way of a counterclaim, a demand for payout of $500,000 and an additional $27,000 for amounts owing. $27,000 has been accrued as of April 30, 2021 in Due to Related Parties. Management has not recognized provision for remaining claimed amount given the conditions to recognize provision were not met. Fancamp believes that any claim that may be instituted by Peter H. Smith is without merit and that he is not entitled to any damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend its actions.
Formal Forensic Investigation into Mr. Smith
On May 12, 2021, Fancamp’s Special Committee of Directors (the “Special Committee”), who are disinterested in the ScoZinc Transaction and independent from Mr. Smith, formally launched a forensic

Note 14 – Contingencies - Continued
investigation into misconduct by Mr. Smith. The Special Committee retained KPMG International Limited to review and report.
Civil Law suit Against Mr. Smith
On May 14, 2021, Fancamp filed a civil claim in the British Columbia Supreme Court seeking over $3,000,000 in damages from Mr. Smith on behalf of our shareholders. The claim was filed to remedy Mr. Smith’s long history of wrongdoings detailed in the Company’s Information Circular dated June 2, 2021. As the forensic investigation advances, Fancamp may amend the claim to address any further wrongdoings.
Application for Safeguard Order Against Mr. Smith
On May 25, 2021, Fancamp filed an Application for a Safeguard Order with the Quebec Superior Court to obtain critical technical and financial information belonging to the Company from Mr. Smith. Despite multiple demands, Mr. Smith, to the detriment of all Fancamp shareholders, has provided few relevant documents and has ignored requests to preserve all the information in his hands and has refused to return:
-
Technical and financial information, including reports on Fancamp’s mining properties;
-
Banking information related to Fancamp or any of its subsidiaries;
-
Any correspondence and/or emails between Fancamp and its partners, third parties and shareholders; and
-
Documents regarding contractual obligations and other agreements such as option agreements, access agreements, drilling or other exploration contracts and waivers.
These critical items are needed for Fancamp to properly operate its business. Mr. Smith’s refusal is illegal and shows a complete disregard for the interests of Fancamp and its shareholders – the exact opposite of what one would expect from a director exercising their fiduciary duties.
On August 6, 2021, the safeguard order was dismissed by the Court and the documents will then have to be recovered through the next procedural steps.
On August 20, 2021 the Company received from Mr. Smith an Application to dismiss and stay of proceedings. On January 24, 2022, the parties agreed to a discontinuance of these Quebec proceedings. This undertaking does not constitute a release by Fancamp of any claims it may have against Mr. Smith in relation to the facts alleged in either the BC Proceedings or the Quebec Proceedings.
Other
On April 14, 2022, a statement of claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company for alleged breach of contract in relation to a mineral property purchase and sale agreement. The plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages of $1,500,000, special damages of $50,000 and punitive damages of $500,000. The Company has filed a Statement of Defense.
Note 15 – Subsequent Events
On March 14, 2023, the Company announced that it had closed the Transaction with Platinex Inc. As part of the Transaction, the Company transferred its Hennan Mallard and Dorothy properties and Platinex transferred its Shining Tree property to South Timmins Mining Inc. (" Goldco "), a subsidiary of Platinex.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements January 31, 2023 and 2022
for a 25% interest in the share capital of Goldco, Fancamp has an option to increase its shareholding to 50%. The Company entered into a shareholders' agreement providing for the governance of Goldco’s operation.
The Company purchased 25,869,741 shares of Platinex at a price of $0.04 per share representing 9.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Platinex.
The Company was granted a 1.0% net smelter return royalty in respect of the Hennan Mallard and Dorothy properties, subject to a decrease to a 0.5% should the Company elect to exercise an option to acquire 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Goldco
The Company aslo contributed $130,000 to Goldco in respect of the right and option to earn into the Shining Tree Gold Project in the Abitibi region of Ontario to be used to advance the initial exploration program.
