Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended November 30, 2024
Unaudited – Prepared by Management
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Forge Resources Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on August 21, 2014 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The head office of the Company is 1050 - 12471 Horseshoe Way, Richmond, BC, V7A 4X6. The registered and records office is Suite 700, 401 W Georgia St, Vancouver, BC, V6B 5A1. The common shares of the Company are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “FRG”, on the OTCQB under the symbol “FRGGF” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) under the symbol “5YZ”.
The Company is in the business of the exploration and development of natural resource properties in Canada and Colombia.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared 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. As at November 30, 2024, the Company has not generated any revenues from operations, has a working capital of $433,185 and accumulated deficit of $20,207,511.
The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing. Management assesses that sufficient working capital will be obtained from external financing to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they become due, although there is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
If the going concern assumption is not appropriate for these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the classifications used could be material.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 27, 2025.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting using the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its formerly wholly owned subsidiary in its comparatives. The Company’s former subsidiary is Benjamin Hill Mining Company SA de CV (formerly Mojave Gold SA De CV), which was incorporated in Mexico on October 14, 2020. A subsidiary is any entity controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity; is exposed to variable returns in connection with its interest in the entity; and a linkage exists between this power and exposure to variable returns. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal or loss of control. The Company disposed of its former subsidiary on February 19, 2024.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated, in full, on consolidation.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, modified where applicable. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars, which is also the Company and its former subsidiary’s functional currency, unless otherwise indicated.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2024.
4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company as at and for the year ended August 31, 2024.

On December 13, 2023, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Aion to complete the Company's acquisition of a 24.26% economic interest in Aion. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company acquired common shares of Aion representing a 24.26% economic interest. In consideration, the Company provided Aion with the following: $500,000 in cash on closing (paid); and 1,602,565 common shares of the Company at a fair value of $633,013 (issued).
On April 15, 2024, the Company acquired common shares of Aion to bring the total ownership to a 46.07% economic and voting interest. In consideration, the Company provided Aion with the following: $1,000,000 in cash on closing (paid); and 1,508,621 common shares of the Company at a fair value of $829,742 (issued).
The Company was also granted a right of first refusal for two years, allowing it to purchase common shares in Aion to offset any further issuances by Aion of securities, to allow the Company the opportunity to maintain its 40% economic and voting interest.
Aion is a non-arm's length party to the Company by reason of sharing a common director, Cole McClay.
The Company has determined that it exercises significant influence over Aion and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.
During the period ended November 30, 2024 the Company recorded its proportionate share of Aion's net loss of $38,069 (year ended August 31, 2024 - $135,002) and comprehensive income of $56,738 (year ended August 31, 2024 - comprehensive loss of $50,602) on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
During the period ended November 30, 2024, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Aion outlining the general terms and conditions of a proposed transaction whereby the Company will acquire a further interest in Aion to bring the Company's total shareholdings in Aion to 60% on a post-closing, fully-diluted basis (the "Proposed Transaction").

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS
Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and due to related parties. The fair value of all financial instruments approximate their carrying values. Cash is classified as fair value through profit and loss. Accounts payable and due to related parties are classified as amortized cost.
The Company’s financial instrument is exposed to a number of risks that are summarized below:
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due or can do so only at excessive cost. The Company is exposed to the risk that it may not have sufficient liquid assets to meet its commitments associated with these financial liabilities.
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. To the extent that the Company does not believe it has sufficient liquidity to meet these obligations, management will consider securing additional funds through equity transactions. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring cash flow requirements relating to its anticipated exploration and evaluation activities as well as general overhead requirements. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.
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 balances and amounts due from former director. The Company manages its credit risk on bank deposits by holding deposits in high credit quality banking institutions in Canada.
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. As the Company’s cash is currently held in non-interest bearing bank account, management considers the interest rate risk to be minimal. The Company is not exposed to interest rate fluctuations.
Commodity Price Risk
The ability of the Company to finance the exploration and development of its properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of the primary minerals identified in its mineral properties. Mineral prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by a number of factors beyond the Company’s control. A sustained, significant decline in the prices of the primary minerals or in the share prices of junior mineral exploration companies in general, could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital. Sensitivity to commodity price risk is remote since the Company has not established any reserves or production.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s former Mexican subsidiary was exposed to currency risk as it incurred expenditures that were denominated in Mexican Pesos and United States Dollars while its functional currency is the Canadian Dollar. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
A 5% change in the foreign exchange rate would result in an impact of approximately $Nil (2023 - $Nil) to the Company’s net loss.
