December 31, 2024

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Group Eleven Resources Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Group Eleven Resources Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our auditor’s report.
Assessment of Impairment Indicators of Exploration and Evaluation Assets (“E&E Assets”)
As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the Company’s E&E Assets was $8,897,821 as of December 31, 2024. As more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, management assesses E&E Assets for indicators of impairment at each reporting period.
The principal considerations for our determination that the assessment of impairment indicators of the E&E Assets is a key audit matter is that there was judgment made by management when assessing whether there were indicators of impairment for the E&E Assets, specifically relating to the assets’ carrying amount which is impacted by the Company’s intent and ability to continue to explore and evaluate these assets. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate audit evidence relating to the judgments made by management in their assessment of indicators of impairment that could give rise to the requirement to prepare an estimate of the recoverable amount of the E&E Assets.
==> picture [612 x 88] intentionally omitted <==
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures included, among others:
-
Evaluating management’s assessment of impairment indicators.
-
Evaluating the intent for the E&E Assets through discussion and communication with management.
-
Reviewing the Company’s recent expenditure activity and expenditure budgets for future periods.
-
Obtaining, on a test basis through government websites, confirmation of title to ensure mineral rights underlying the E&E Assets are in good standing.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Carmen Newnham.

GROUP ELEVEN RESOURCES CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Group Eleven Resources Corp. (the "Company" or “GERC”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada on November 25, 2016, and its principal business activity is the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties. The Company's corporate office is located at 2200 - 885 W Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol ZNG.
These consolidated financial statements are 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 for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred ongoing losses since inception and has no source of recurring revenue. The success of the Company is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to continue its exploration and development activities, the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, and upon establishing future profitable production, or realization of proceeds on disposal. Management estimates that it has adequate working capital to fund all its planned activities for the next year.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had working capital of $1,048,912 (December 31, 2023: $2,528,268). During the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company incurred a loss of $3,468,653 (December 31, 2023: $2,536,562) and used cash in operating activities of $3,166,843 (December 31, 2023: $2,127,331).
Management recognizes that the Company will need to raise additional funds to maintain its current level of operations and while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Factors that affect the availability of financing include the progress and results of ongoing exploration at the Company’s mineral properties, the state of international debt and equity markets, and investor perceptions and expectations of the global markets and mining and zinc sector in particular. A failure to raise capital when required could cause a deferral or delay in the current exploration projects, loss of currently held mineral properties, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Management plans to continue to secure the necessary financing through a combination of equity financing and entering into joint venture arrangements; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these actions. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
(a) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
On April 17, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
GROUP ELEVEN RESOURCES CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(b) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Group Eleven Resources Ltd. (“GERL”) and Group Eleven Mining and Exploration Inc. (“GEME”), a 60% interest in Ballinalack Resources Limited (“BRL”), and a 76.56% interest in TILZ Minerals Ltd. (“TILZ”), all incorporated in Dublin, Ireland. All inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. For partially owned subsidiaries, the interest attributable to noncontrolling shareholders is reflected in non-controlling interest. Adjustments to non-controlling interest are accounted for as transactions with owners and adjustments that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.
(c) Foreign Currencies
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is also the Canadian dollar.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period- end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand, demand deposits, and cashable guaranteed investment certificates.
(e) Financial Instruments
The Company applies the requirements of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) which utilizes a model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward-looking “expected loss” impairment model. The following is the Company’s accounting policy for financial instruments under IFRS 9:
Classification
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”), or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of receivable instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-byinstrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.
Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Cash and cash equivalents and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and exploration partner advances are measured at amortized cost.
GROUP ELEVEN RESOURCES CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
An ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.
(f) Equipment
Equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
The major categories of equipment noted below are depreciated over their estimated useful life using the following annual rates and methods:
-
Computer equipment – 3 years straight line
-
Exploration equipment – 5 years straight line
Depreciation expense of assets used in exploration are recorded to exploration expenditures. Management reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods at the end of each financial year and when events and circumstances indicate that such a review should be made. Changes to estimated useful lives, residual values or depreciation methods resulting from such review are accounted for prospectively.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(g) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
All costs related to the acquisition of mineral properties are capitalized by property. All exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed until properties are determined to have economically recoverable resources. These direct expenditures include such costs as materials used, surveying costs, geological studies, drilling costs, payments made to contractors and depreciation of equipment during the exploration phase.
Mineral property acquisition costs for each mineral property are carried forward as an asset provided that one of the following conditions is met:
-
Such costs are expected to be recouped in full through successful exploration and development of the mineral property or alternatively, by sale; or
-
Exploration and evaluation activities in the mineral property have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves; however; active and significant operations in relation to the mineral property are continuing or planned for the future.
The carrying values of capitalized amounts are reviewed annually, or when indicators of impairment are present. In the case of undeveloped properties, there may be only inferred resources to allow management to form a basis for the impairment review. The review is based on the Company’s intentions for the development of such a property. If a mineral property does not prove viable, all unrecoverable costs associated with the property are charged to profit or loss at the time the determination is made.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined and the Company has made a decision to proceed with development, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as “mining assets”, within PP&E. Exploration and evaluation acquisition costs accumulated are also tested for impairment before they are transferred to development properties.
(h) Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets
At the end of each reporting period the carrying amounts of the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(i) Share Capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares and options are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
Equity financing transactions may involve issuance of common shares or units. A unit comprises a certain number of common shares and a certain number of share purchase warrants. Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing agreement, the warrants are exercisable into additional common shares prior to expiry at a price stipulated by the agreement. Warrants that are part of units are assigned value based on the residual value method and included in share capital with the common shares that were concurrently issued. Warrants that are issued as payment for ‐ agency fees or other transactions costs are accounted for as share based payments.
(j) Share-based Payment Transactions
The cost of stock options and other equity‐settled share‐based payment arrangements are recorded based on the estimated fair value at the grant date and charged to earnings over the vesting period. The Company uses the fair value method for accounting for stock-based awards to employees, defined as persons classified as employees for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or alternatively a person providing services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Under the fair value method, compensation expenses attributed to the direct award of stock options to employees are measured at fair value on the grant date for each tranche using an option pricing model and are usually recognized over the vesting period of the award. Stock options granted to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services rendered or at the fair value of the instruments issued, if it is determined that the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be reliably measured.
All share-based payments are reflected in reserves, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in reserves is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.
(k) Deferred share units
The Company has established a deferred share plan under which deferred share units (“DSUs”) are granted to non-executive directors of the Company as part of long-term incentive compensation. DSUs are classified as equity settled share-based payment transactions as the participants will receive either common shares of the Company or payment of cash, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, following a redemption event. As such, the Company recognizes the expense based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares at the grant date and a corresponding increase in equity for the eventual redemption when the DSUs are issued.
(l) Restricted share units
The Company has established a restricted share plan under which restricted share units (“RSUs”) are granted to eligible directors, employees and contractors of the Company. The RSUs are considered equity-settled and are measured using the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares at the grant date and recognized as share-based compensation over the vesting period, with a corresponding amount recognized as equity. Upon the exercise of RSUs, the related share-based payment reserve is transferred to share capital.

(m) Non-controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest in the Company’s less than wholly owned subsidiaries are classified as a separate component of equity. On initial recognition, non-controlling interest is measured at the fair value of the non-controlling entity’s contribution into the related subsidiary. After the original transaction date, adjustments are made to the carrying amount of non-controlling interest for the non-controlling interest’s share of changes to each subsidiary’s equity.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are recorded as equity transactions. The carrying amount of non-controlling interest is adjusted to reflect the change in the non-controlling interest’s relative interest in the subsidiary, and the difference between the adjustment to the carrying amount of non-controlling interests and the Company’s share of proceeds received and/or consideration paid is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
(n) Income Taxes
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
In general, deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except, in the case of subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as noncurrent.
(o) Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and convertible loan, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and the convertible loans were converted and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods. For the years presented, the calculations proved to be anti-dilutive.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(p) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
-
i. The inputs used in calculating the fair value for share-based payment expense included in profit or loss and comprehensive loss and statement of shareholders’ equity. The share-based payment expense is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as measured on the grant date to estimate the fair value of stock options. This model involves the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the Company’s common shares, the expected life of the options, and the estimated forfeiture rate.
-
ii. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates at the reporting date in effect for the period in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as part of the provision for income taxes in the period that includes the enactment date. The recognition of deferred income tax assets is based on the assumption that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Critical accounting judgments
Critical accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments, as follows:
-
i. The carrying value and the recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets, which are included in the statements of financial position. The value of the exploration and evaluation assets is based on the expenditures incurred. At every reporting period, management assesses the potential impairment which involves assessing whether facts or circumstances exist that suggest the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
-
ii. The determination of functional currency involves certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment in which each entity operates. This determination is reassessed if there is a change in events and conditions which were used in the determination of the primary economic environment. The parent and subsidiary entities have a Canadian dollar functional currency.

(q) Accounting standards adopted by the Company
GROUP ELEVEN RESOURCES CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
The following amendment has been effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024:
Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) – the amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policy information, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy.
The Company concluded that the effect of such standards and amendments did not have a material impact and therefore did not record any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.
(r) Accounting standards issued for adoption of future periods
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”), which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management-defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this new standard on its financial statements. As at December 31, 2024, there are no other IFRS Accounting Standards or IFRIC interpretations with future effective dates that are expected to have a material impact on the Company.
3. OTHER RECEIVABLES
Other receivables consist of recoverable amounts paid for value added tax and goods and services tax charged to the Company on purchases of goods or services.

The maximum number of stock options granted to any one consultant or an individual providing investor relations services in a 12-month period may not exceed 2% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. Options granted to consultants or individuals providing investor relations services will vest over at least 12 months with no more than one-quarter of the options vesting in any three-month period. The exercise price of each option will be determined by the Board, subject to the approval of the TSX-V if necessary. Options granted will have a term not to exceed five years and, except for where previously noted, are subject to vesting provisions as determined by the Board.

c) Restricted Share Units (RSU)
The Company has a RSU plan (“RSU Plan”) for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. Under the terms of the plan, each vested RSU awarded entitles the RSU holder to receive, subject to adjustment as provided for in the RSU Plan, either one common share in the Company or, at the Company’s option, an equivalent cash payment. The RSUs are considered equity settled. RSUs will vest over a period of up to three years from the date of grant. The Company has reserved 2,000,000 common shares for issuance under the RSU Plan, subject to the total RSUs granted not exceeding, when aggregated with all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, 10% of the issued shares of the Company. The Company did not grant any RSU’s during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
RSUs are measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date prior to the grant and are recognized as share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The corresponding amount is recorded to the sharebased payment reserve. Upon the exercise of RSUs, the related share-based payment reserve is transferred to share capital.

d) Deferred Share Units (DSU)
The Company has a DSU plan (“DSU Plan”) for the directors of the Company. Under the terms of the amended DSU Plan, each vested DSU awarded entitles the DSU holder to receive, subject to adjustment as provided for in the DSU Plan, either one common share in the Company or, at the option of the Company, an equivalent cash payment. Shares eligible for issuance under the DSU Plan will be subject to the total DSUs granted not exceeding, when aggregated with all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, 10% of the issued shares of the Company. The foregoing limitation does not apply to grants made in lieu of directors’ fees.
For the purposes of the DSU Plan, the value of the DSU on the grant date is the market price, being the five-day volume weighted average price of the common shares immediately preceding the grant date. If the common shares are not trading on the TSX-V, then the Market Value shall be determined in the same manner based on the trading price on such stock exchange or over-thecounter market on which the common shares are listed and posted for trading as may be selected for such purpose by the Board.

11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company monitors its adjusted capital which comprises all components of equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue common shares through private placements. The Company is not exposed to any externally imposed capital requirements. No changes were made to the Company’s capital management practices during the year ended December 31, 2024.
12. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed to a variety of risks related to financial instruments. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes. The principal types of risk exposure and the way in which they are managed are as follows:
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due. As at December 31, 2024 the Company had working capital of $1,048,912. and will require additional financing to support continued operations.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. There is a foreign exchange risk to the Company as its exploration and evaluation property interests and resulting future commitments are in Ireland. The Euro translation rate has experienced volatility over the last several years as a result of monetary policies adopted by the European Central Bank. Management monitors its foreign currency balances and adjusts based on anticipated need for currencies. The Company has a policy of not engaging in hedging activities to address this foreign currency risk. At December 31, 2024, the Company had Euro denominated current assets of €294,327 and Euro denominated current liabilities of €427,759. Accordingly, a 10% change in the foreign exchange rate would result in a $19,917 credit or charge to operations.
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 currently not exposed to any interest rate risk as cash is held in a non-interest bearing account and the Company does not hold any interest bearing liabilities.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the potential for non-performance by counterparties of contractual financial obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is on its cash and other receivables. The Company reduces its credit risk by maintaining its bank accounts at a large international financial institution. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of these financial assets.
GROUP ELEVEN RESOURCES CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
Commodity price risk
While the value of the Company's exploration and evaluation assets is related to the price of zinc and other minerals, the Company currently does not have any operating mines and hence does not have any hedging or other commodity-based risks with respect to its operational activities. Zinc and other mineral prices have historically fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Company's control, including, but not limited to, the perception of market participants about the price and future price prospects for zinc, changes in manufacturing and construction activity as well as other industrial demands, levels of worldwide production, and forward sales by producers and speculators.
Fair value
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 fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and exploration partner advances approximates their carrying value because of the short-term nature of the financial instruments.
