Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
(Unaudited - expressed in Canadian dollars)
- Nature of operations and going concern
Ibero Mining Corp. (formerly Goldplay Mining Inc. and Ibero Mining Inc.) (the "Company" or "Ibero") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on June 16, 2017, and its principal business activity is acquiring and exploring mineral properties. The Company's registered place of business is located at 650 - 1021 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 0C3, Canada. The Company is in the startup stage of operations and does not yet have any revenue-generating activities. Ibero has one wholly owned subsidiary, EVX Portugal, Unipessoal, Lda ("EVX Portugal"), a private Portuguese company. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under the symbol "EUP". Ibero is also listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "9FY" and OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol "AUCCF".
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis with the assumption that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company incurred significant operating losses since inception, including $1,334,087 during the nine months period ended September 30, 2024 (September 30, 2023 - $449,823), resulting in a deficit of $5,791,684 at September 30, 2024. The Company will require additional financing to continue operations and pursue its projects. While the Company has been successful in obtaining funding in the past through the issuance of additional equity, there is no assurance that such funding will be available in the future. An inability to raise additional funds would adversely impact the future assessment of the Company as a going concern. 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.
The Company is dependent upon its ability to finance its operations and exploration programs through financing activities that may include issuances of additional debt or equity securities. The recoverability of the carrying value of accounts receivable and exploration and evaluation assets and, ultimately, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise financing to complete exploration on a mineral property, the outcome of which is uncertain. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. Such adjustments could be material.

Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements require management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates and judgments, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impact of estimates and judgments is pervasive throughout the unaudited condensed interim financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates, or changes to judgments, are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods.
New standards, amendments and interpretations
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies as disclosed in Note 4 of the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
3. Risk management and financial instruments
Financial instruments are agreements between two parties that give rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows: cash is classified as FVTPL; accounts receivable (excluding taxes receivable) are classified as amortized cost; and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as amortized cost. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short term to maturity.

- Risk management and financial Instruments (continued)
Capital management
The Company does not generate cash flows from operations. The Company's primary source of funds comes from the issuance of share capital and loans or advances from its related parties. The Company does not use other sources of financing that require fixed payments of interest and principal due to lack of cash flow from current operations and is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company defines its capital as shareholders' equity (deficiency). Capital requirements are driven by the Company's general operations. To effectively manage the Company's capital requirements, the Company monitors expenses and overhead to ensure costs and commitments are being paid. There were no changes to the Company's capital management approach during the period ended June 30, 2024.
Management of financial risk
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 Company's financial instruments classified as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy are cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due from associate. The carrying values approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The types of risk exposure and the Company's methods of managing the risk remain consistent and are as follows:
The Company's risk exposure and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit losses are measured using a present value and probability-weighted model that considers all reasonable and supportable information available without undue cost or effort along with the information available concerning past defaults, current conditions and forecasts at the reporting date. IFRS 9 requires the recognition of 12 month expected credit losses (the portion of lifetime expected credit losses from default events that are expected within 12 months of the reporting date) if credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition (stage 1), and lifetime expected credit losses for financial instruments for which the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition (stage 2) or which are credit impaired (stage 3). There are no expected credit losses with respect to the Company's financial instruments held at amortized cost.

(Unaudited - expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Risk management and financial Instruments (continued)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk. As at September 30, 2024, the Company is not exposed to significant market risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to attempt to ensure that it will have sufficient cash or credit available to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities, and by maintaining its lending arrangement with a related party. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
All of the liabilities presented as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within 90 days of September 30, 2024.
Categories of financial assets and financial liabilities
The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments are classified into the following categories:
| Financial instrument | Category | September 30 2024 | December 31 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | FVPTL | $ 102,290 | $ 504,272 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost | 281,765 | 75,583 |
The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held of $102,290 (December 31, 2023 - $504,272) and redeemable guaranteed investment certificates totaling $Nil (December 31, 2023 - $Nil).
4. Share Capital
(a) Authorized
The Company's authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value.
(b) Reconciliation of changes in share capital
On April 11, 2022, Ibero completed a private placement financing and issued 1,000,000 common shares for total proceeds of $150,000 ($0.15 per share). No compensation was paid in connection with this financing.
c) Stock Option Plan
The Company adopted a stock option plan on December 5, 2019 under which the aggregate number of common shares to be reserved for exercise of all options granted under the plan and any other share compensation arrangement shall not exceed 10% of the issued shares of the Company at the time of granting of options. The stock option plan provides for the granting of stock options to regular employees and persons

c) Stock Option Plan (continued)
providing investor relations or consulting services up to a limit of 5% and 2%, respectively, of the Company's total number of issued and outstanding shares per year. Options granted to consultants providing investor relations services shall vest at a minimum over a period of twelve months with no more than one-quarter of such options vesting in any three-month period. Options, other than options granted to consultants providing investor relations services, shall vest immediately.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model in order to calculate a value for share options issued to officers, directors and consultants. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of estimates and assumptions, including expected volatility rates. As the Company has a short trading history on stock exchange, the expected volatility is based on volatility percentages used historically by comparable listed companies. Changes in the underlying assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect the fair value estimates.
Stock options transactions during the year ended December 31, 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:
