Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
- NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Dark Star Minerals Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on August 12, 2021. The head office of the Company and location of records is located at 800-885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver BC, V6C 3H1, Canada.
On February 8, 2023 the Company received the final receipt from the British Columbia Securities Commission for the Long Form Prospectus filed by the Company on February 6, 2023, for the purpose of the Company to meet one of the eligibility requirements for the listing of the Company's common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") by becoming a reporting issuer pursuant to applicable securities legislation in the Province of British Columbia. Upon the final receipt of this Prospectus by the BCSC, the Company became a reporting issuer in British Columbia. On March 6, 2022 the CSE approved the listing of the Company and the common shares were posted for trading on March 7, 2023 under the symbol "BATT".
These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As at June 30, 2025, the Company has not generated any revenue since inception and has a deficit of $3,588,058 (December 31, 2024 - $1,646,135). The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows and/or obtain additional financing. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with cash on hand, and/or private placements of common stock. There is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Approval of the Financial Statements
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were reviewed by the Board of Directors and approved and authorized for use on August 26, 2025 by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Dark Star Minerals Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
(a) Statement of Compliance to International Financial Reporting Standards
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance and compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the Company's annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
(b) Basis of Preparation
The Financial Statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs modified where applicable. The Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
(c) Basis of consolidation
These Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries include Off-Piste Opportunities (II) Inc., which was incorporated under the laws of the province of Ontario (Canada) on March 4, 2021, and Hungersite Minerals Inc. which was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario.
(d) Use of Estimates, Judgements and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:
Critical judgements exercised by management in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
- Functional currency – The assessment of the Company's functional currency and the functional currency of its subsidiaries involves judgment regarding the primary economic environment the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary operate in.
Dark Star Minerals Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
-
Stock options and warrants – Determining the fair value of warrants and stock options requires estimates related to the choice of a pricing model, the estimation of stock price volatility, the expected forfeiture rate and the expected term of the underlying instruments. Any changes in the estimates or inputs utilized to determine fair value could have a significant impact on the Company's future operating results or on other components of the shareholders' equity.
-
Going concern – The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern involves judgement regarding future funding available for its operations and working capital requirements.
Critical accounting estimates
- Income taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets - Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
- Share-based payments - Management determines costs for share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based share awards are determined at the date of grant and incorporates Black-Scholes input assumptions including the future volatility of the stock price, expected dividend yield, and expected life. Such judgements and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's December 31, 2024, annual financial statements, except for those noted below and the adoption of new standards and interpretations as of January 1, 2024.
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. It carries forward many requirements from IAS 1. IFRS 18 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: (i) the structure of the statement of profit or loss; (ii) required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements; and (iii) enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes. The Company is currently assessing the impact and efforts related to adopting IFRS 18.
4. SHARE CAPITAL
(a) Authorized
The Company has authorized an unlimited number of common shares without par value.
(b) Issued and outstanding
As at June 30, 2025, the Company had outstanding 55,968,102 (December 31, 2024 - 30,268,102) common shares.
(i) On October 28, 2024, the Company issued 750,000 common shares pursuant to a non-binding letter of intent, to enter into an option agreement on a mineral property (see note 5). On the date of issuance, the shares had a fair value of $0.04 per share.
(ii) On January 31, 2025, the Company completed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"), issuing 9,100,000 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $455,000. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.075 per Warrant Share for a period of two years from the closing date. The Warrants were assigned a fair value of $140,498, estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
- Risk-free interest rate: 2.66%
- Expected volatility: 234%
- Expected dividend yield: 0%
- Expected life: 2 years
In connection with the first tranche, the Company paid a corporate finance fee of $7,875 and cash finder's fees totaling $28,500. In addition, 570,000 finder warrants ("Finder Warrants") were issued, each exercisable into one Warrant Share at a price of $0.075 for a period of two years. The Finder Warrants were valued at $20,370 using the same valuation method and assumptions as the Warrants.

4. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)
(iii) On March 19, 2025, the Company completed the second tranche of the Offering, issuing an additional 2,000,000 Units on the same terms. The associated Warrants were assigned a fair value of $30,878.
Related costs for the second tranche included a corporate finance fee of $3,150 (inclusive of GST), a cash finder's fee of $6,500, and the issuance of 130,000 Finder Warrants, valued at $4,646 using the same valuation methodology and assumptions as noted above.
(iv) On March 26, 2025, the Company issued 9,400,000 common shares in accordance with the Option Agreement (note 5). On the date of issuance, the common shares had a fair value of $0.065.
(v) On May 2, 2025, the Company issued 5,000,000 common shares in accordance with the Bleasdell Acquisition (note 5). On the date of issuance, the common shares had a fair value of $0.06.
(vi) On June 26, 2025, the Company issued 200,000 common shares in accordance with the Critical One Agreement (note 5). On the date of issuance, the common shares had a fair value of $0.06.
(c) Omnibus Incentive Plan
On December 12, 2024, the Board adopted the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"). The 2024 Plan provides flexibility to the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of options ("Options"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs"). The purpose of the 2024 Plan is to, among other things, provide the Company with a share related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, to reward such of those directors, officers, employees and consultants as may be granted awards under the 2024 Plan by the Board from time to time for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the Company and to enable and encourage such directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire Shares as long-term investments and proprietary interests in the Company.
The 2024 Plan is a rolling plan which, subject to the adjustment provisions provided for therein (including a subdivision or consolidation of Shares), provides that the aggregate maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of awards granted under the 2024 Plan shall not exceed 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares from time to time. The 2024 Plan is considered an "evergreen" plan, since the Shares covered by awards that have been exercised, settled or terminated shall be available for subsequent grants under the 2024 Plan and the number of awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases.
On July 22, 2024, all remaining 3,500,000 stock options (that were issued under the previous stock option plan) expired unexercised.

On April 16, 2025, the Company granted a total of 5,300,000 stock options ("Options") and 2,600,000 RSUs to certain directors, officers, and consultants. The Options are exercisable at $0.05 per Share and vested immediately upon grant. Of the total Options:
- 4,100,000 have a two-year term;
- 1,200,000 have a one-year term.
The RSUs vest four months from the date of grant, and upon vesting, each RSU entitles the holder to receive one common share.

- Risk-free interest rate: 2.53%
- Expected volatility: 238%
- Expected dividend yield: 0%

6. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES (continued)
The Company's primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Values
At June 30, 2025, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of the instruments.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash. To minimize the credit risk the Company places these instruments with a high credit quality financial institution.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs and to meet the Company's liabilities. The $332,628 (December 31, 2024 - $227,450) of accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within one year.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
