Overview
The Company was incorporated pursuant to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on May 2, 2023 under the name "Goldcana Resources Inc." The Company is engaged in the business of mineral exploration in British Columbia and its objective is to locate and, if warranted, develop economic mineral properties. The Company holds an option to acquire a 100% interest, subject to a 3% net smelter returns royalty, in eight mineral claims covering approximately 851 hectares located in Nicola Mining Division and Vernon Mining Division, British Columbia (the "Triple F Gold Property").
1
The Company has completed an initial exploration program on the Triple F Gold Property consisting of a drone magnetic survey, the establishment of soil geochemical grids, hand trenching and rock sampling.
The Company commissioned, and filed via SEDAR+, independent technical report prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") with respect to the Triple F Gold Property. The Company intends to complete the Phase I exploration program, as recommended in the NI 43-101 report, in September and October 2025. The first phase of exploration will consist of geological mapping and soil geochemistry sampling.
The Company became a reporting issuer in Alberta and British Columbia on July 22, 2025 upon approval of its final prospectus and became a reporting issuer in Ontario on August 13, 2025 when its shares were listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "GC".
Overall Performance
Because Goldcana is involved in the exploration of mineral properties without any known economic quantities of mineralization, it has not generated any revenue to date and is unlikely to realize revenue in the foreseeable future. Management anticipates that it will incur expenses in connection with the exploration of its mineral property, compliance with applicable securities rules and continuous disclosure requirements, and general and administrative costs.

Over the past eight quarters, the Company worked primarily to complete an initial exploration program on the Triple F Gold Property before focusing on further equity financing and filing of the prospectus. The level of the Company's operating expenses relates to the activity to support the due diligence, acquisition and exploration and development undertaken on the Company's projects and financing activities. These expenses can vary significantly between periods and consequently seasonal and observable trends may not be meaningful. Management anticipates that the Company will continue to incur losses until one of its projects achieves economic production.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at July 31, 2025, the Company had current assets of $216,362 and current liabilities of $65,380, resulting in a working capital of $150,982. Total shareholders' equity was $186,342 as at July 31, 2025.
As at July 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $212,720 compared to a cash balance of $54,056 at July 31, 2024. The increase in the Company's cash balance at July 31, 2025 compared to 2024 relates to cash that the Company raised through its sale of Special Warrants and an unsecured $80,000 non-interest-bearing loan from the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
The Company holds the Option to acquire a 100% interest in the Triple F Gold Property, subject to a 3% net smelter returns royalty, and has not generated revenue to date. Management anticipates that it will incur considerably more expenses following the listing of the Common Shares on the CSE without generating any revenue. Funding requirements will include increased professional and filing fees necessary to comply with applicable securities rules and increased exploration costs as the Company conducts expenditures on its Property.
As the Company will not generate funds from operations for the foreseeable future, the Company is primarily reliant upon the sale of equity securities in order to fund operations. Since inception, the Company has funded limited operations through the issuance of equity securities on a private placement basis. This has allowed the Company to carry out limited exploration and commission a geological report for the Triple F Gold property.
Pursuant to the Amended Option Agreement, the Company is required to fund at least $64,000 of exploration and development work on the Triple F Gold Property by December 31, 2025. The Company also anticipates spending $23,000 to cover anticipated general and administrative costs and legal, audit, and office overhead expenses for the next 12-month period. At July 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $212,720, which is sufficient to cover all expected exploration, operations, and administrative expenses for the next twelve months. However, the Company cannot offer any assurance that expenses will not exceed management's expectations and the Company may require additional funds and will be dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing, the availability of which cannot be assured. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Although the Company currently has limited capital resources, the Company anticipates that additional funding will come from equity financing from the sale of the Company's shares or through debt financing.
The Company may also seek loans. It may also receive proceeds from the exercise of outstanding share purchase warrants. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in such estimates in future periods could require a material change in the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. The following discusses the most significant accounting judgements, estimates, and assumptions that the Company made in the preparation of its financial statements.
(i) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications 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. Management has applied judgment in the assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, considering all available information. Given the judgment involved, actual results may lead to a materially different outcome.
(ii) Recognition and valuation of deferred taxes
The Company uses professional judgement, based on its understanding of tax laws as it relates to transactions and activities entered into by the Company, to determine the probability of deferred tax assets being utilized. When there is uncertainty if the benefits of deferred tax assets will realize, deferred income tax assets are not recognized.
(iii) Valuation of share-based payments
The Company uses professional judgment in determining the valuation of share-based payments such as equity instruments issued in exchange for assets or services provided to the Company. The Company estimates the value of share-based payments by reference to the fair value of consideration received. If the fair value of the consideration cannot be reliably estimated, the Company measures the transaction based on the fair value of the equity
instruments granted. In determining the fair value of stock options and similar equity instruments, the Company applies the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires management to make estimates regarding assumptions such as expected volatility, expected life of the instrument, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield. The Company has measured the acquisition of its exploration and evaluation assets at the value of the Company's common shares issued in exchange for the assets and has valued the special warrants issued as compensation at the value of the price received in exchange for special warrants as part of the private placement.
(iv) Classification and valuation of exploration and evaluation assets
The Company uses professional judgment in determining the likelihood that future economic benefits will be realized from future exploration activities or from the sale of exploration and evaluation assets that have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. The deferral policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events or circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If information becomes available suggesting that the
recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period when the new information becomes available.
