Notes to the condensed interim financial statements For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

HERITAGE MINING LTD.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Heritage Mining Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 18, 2019, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company is engaged in the business of exploration for gold and other metals across Canada. The Company’s principal objectives are to explore and develop the Drayton - Black Lake Property and to identify other properties worthy of investment and exploration.

The Company’s registered and head office is located at Suite 3000-1055 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2E9.

These unaudited condensed interim 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. The Company has no source of revenue and incurred losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $6,825,870 at March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $6,326,241). This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation.

The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon obtaining necessary financing to meet the Company’s commitments as they come due and to finance future exploration and development of potential business acquisitions, economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties and upon future profitable production. Failure to continue as a going concern would require that assets and liabilities be recorded at their liquidation values, which might differ significantly from their carrying values.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), and on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Basis of preparation

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s condensed interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously 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. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

Management made estimates that affect the value of the lease liabilities and the valuation of right-of-use assets, which include the determination of contracts in the scope of IFRS 16, the lease term and the incremental borrowing rate used for discounting future cash flows.

HERITAGE MINING LTD.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Significant accounting judgments

Information about critical judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statement are discussed below:

Going Concern

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment regarding future funding availability for its exploration projects and working capital requirements.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Exploration and evaluation expenditures

Exploration and evaluation expenditures, including acquisition costs, are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. Mining exploration tax credits are accrued and recorded against exploration and evaluation expenditures when the related expenditures are incurred, unless collectability cannot be reasonably assured.

When shares are issued as part of mineral property acquisition costs, they are valued at the closing share price on the date of issuance when the fair value of the costs cannot be determined.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resources has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and development costs are capitalized to “mines under construction” on the statement of financial position.

Restoration and environmental obligations

An obligation to incur decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs occurs when environmental disturbance is caused by exploration, evaluation, development or ongoing production.

Restoration and environmental obligations are recorded as liabilities when those obligations are incurred and are measured at the present value, if a reasonable estimate of the expected costs to settle the liability can be determined, discounted at a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. In subsequent years, the liability is adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate of the undiscounted cash flows. The accretion of the liability to its fair value as a result of the passage of time is charged to earnings while changes resulting from the revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate of the undiscounted cash flows are accounted for as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The carrying amount of the restoration and environmental obligations is reviewed to reflect current estimates and changes in the discount rate.

Lease

The right-of-use assets (“ROU”) is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. The ROU asset is depreciated to the end-of-the-useful-life or the lease term, whichever comes earlier, using the straight-line method.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is measured at the amortized cost using the effective interest method and remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments.

HERITAGE MINING LTD.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Lease (continued)

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made.

Capital stock

Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. 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, stock options, share purchase warrants and flow-through shares are classified as equity instruments.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants are recorded as capital stock in the amount for which the option or warrant enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company. Capital stock issued for non-monetary consideration is valued at the closing market price at the date of issuance when the fair value of the non-monetary assets cannot be reasonably estimated.

The proceeds from the issuance of units are allocated between common shares and warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated first to capital stock based on the fair value of the common shares at the time the units are priced and any residual value is allocated to the warrants reserve within share-based payments reserve. Consideration received for the exercise of warrants is recorded in capital stock and the related residual value in warrants reserve is transferred to capital stock. For those warrants that expire the recorded value is transferred to deficit.

Flow-through shares

The Company has from time to time, issued flow-through common shares and units to finance its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through agreements, these shares and units transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. At the time of closing a financing involving flow-through units consisting of common shares and warrants, the Company allocates proceeds received as follows: i) share capital – the market trading price of the common shares, ii) flow-through share premium – equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability, and iii) warrant reserve – any excess.

Income (loss) per share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. For all periods presented, the income (loss) attributable to common shareholders equals the reported income (loss) attributable to owners of the Company. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. As the Company has reported losses for the periods presented, the effect of stock options and warrants is anti-dilutive; therefore, basic loss per share equals diluted loss per share.

HERITAGE MINING LTD. Notes to the condensed interim financial statements For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Share-based payments

Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using a Black–Scholes Pricing Model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

Income taxes

Current income tax:

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive loss or equity is recognized in other comprehensive loss or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred income tax:

Deferred income tax is provided using the asset and liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial instruments

i) 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 debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics.

Cash, lease liabilities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as amortized cost.

ii) 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.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Company is Canadian Dollar, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at period end rates. Gains and losses are included in profit and loss.

Adoption of new accounting standards

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies – These amendments help companies provide useful accounting policy disclosures. The IASB also amended IFRS Practice Statement 2 to include guidance and examples on applying materiality to accounting policy disclosures. These amendments are effective for reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The adoption of the amendments reduced the disclosure of its accounting policies.

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1) – The amendments to IAS1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a material impact on the financial statements.
