IRVING RESOURCES INC.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the nine months ended November 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Irving Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Irving”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on August 28, 2015 and is listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “IRV”. The Company is a junior resource exploration company that is involved in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company’s corporate office is located at 999 Canada Place, Suite 404, Vancouver, BC V6C 3E2.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business in the foreseeable future. As at November 30, 2023, the Company had working capital of $6,259,567 (February 28, 2023 – $10,537,453). Management estimates these funds are sufficient to meet its immediate liquidity requirements as well as those for the next twelve months.

There are many external factors that can adversely affect general workforces, economies and financial markets globally. Examples include, but are not limited to, the COVID-19 global pandemic and political conflict in other regions. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of adverse results of such external factors and their effect on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

a) Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s most recent annual financial statements but do not contain all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2023.

b) Basis of Measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

c) Approval of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

New Accounting Standards not yet adopted

The Company has not applied the following revised IFRS that has been issued but was not yet effective at May 1, 2023. These new accounting standards are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s accounting policies or financial statements.

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to International Accounting Standards 1 ("IAS 1"), Presentation of Financial Statements, to clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Liabilities should be classified as non-current if a company has a substantive right to defer settlement for at least 12 months at the end of the reporting period. Rights are in existence if covenants are complied with at the end of the reporting period. Settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, or other assets or services. The amendments will be effective January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required on adoption. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this amendment to the Company's financial statements and does not expect it to have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both. Significant assumptions about the future and

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the nine months ended November 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

IRVING RESOURCES INC.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (cont’d)

other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the statement of financial position date, 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:

a) Exploration and evaluation expenditures

The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditures are capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditures is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in profit or loss in the period the new information becomes available.

b) Title to mineral property interests

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

c) Share-based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for sharebased payment transactions are discussed in Note 10.

d) Income taxes

Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities.

In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward to the extent there are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation

authority and the same taxable entity against which the unused tax losses can be utilized. However, utilization of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the taxable entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.

e) Leases

The Company applies judgement in determining whether a contract contains an identified asset, whether the Company has the right to control the asset, the term of the lease and discount rate. The lease term is based on considering facts and circumstances, both qualitative and quantitative, that can create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options.

5. RECEIVABLES

The Company’s receivables arise mainly from goods and services tax due from Canadian government taxation authorities.

6. LEASES

The Company has various leases for equipment, housing and office space. The leases are treated as right-ofuse assets and included in Property and Equipment. The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statements of financial position. The related payments are recognized as an expense in the period in which the payment occurs and are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

8. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATIONS ASSETS (cont’d)

Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many exploration and evaluation assets. The Company has investigated title to all of its exploration and evaluation assets and to the best of its knowledge, title to all of the assets is in good standing.

a) Omu Property

The Company entered into an agreement to purchase a 100% interest in a mining right for the Omui Property located in Hokkaido, Japan. The mining right encompasses an area of approximately 2.98 sq km. The total purchase price for the mining right is JPY40,000,000 cash (CAD $477,000; paid) and 135,747 common shares of the Company issued at a value of $118,100.

The Company has also filed a total of 57 prospecting licenses covering additional prospective ground in the vicinity of the Omui Property.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

IFRS 7 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

As at November 30, 2023, the Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and lease liabilities. The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate its fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of this financial instrument. Lease liabilities are accreted over lease terms at market interest rates using the effective interest rate method.

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Management and the Board of Directors monitor risk management activities and review the adequacy of such activities.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is limited to the carrying amount on the statement of financial position and arises from the Company’s cash and receivables.

The Company’s cash is held with high-credit quality financial institutions. Receivables mainly consist of goods and services tax due from the Federal Government of Canada.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations, and anticipating investing and financing activities. As at November 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $6,574,593 to settle current

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)

liabilities of $439,359 of which a significant amount has contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

iii) Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term certificates of deposits issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit rating of its banks.

ii) Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. The ability of the Company to explore its mineral properties and future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of rare earth elements and other non-gold minerals. The Company monitors commodity prices to determine appropriate actions to be undertaken.

iii) Foreign exchange rate risk

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company funds certain operations, exploration and administrative expenses by using US Dollars and Japanese Yen converted from its Canadian bank accounts. Management is aware of the possibility of foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible foreign exchange rate risk at this time.

15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company considers items in its shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company’s capital management objectives are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to have sufficient capital to be able to meet the Company’s property exploration plans and to ensure the growth of activities.

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company is in the exploration stage; as such the Company will rely on the equity markets to fund its activities. The Company will continue to assess new sources of financing available and to manage its expenditures to reflect current financial resources in the interest of sustaining long term viability.

Initially, Property interests will be split 60% to Newmont, 27.5% to Irving, and 12.5% to Sumitomo if Sumitomo elects to participate, and Irving will be the initial joint venture manager. Irving and Sumitomo will have a one-time right to elect to maintain their respective interest in the Property by contributing their respective share of Property expenditures. If such right is not exercised, the relevant party’s interest will be subject to dilution.
