KORE MINING LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

KORE Mining Ltd. (“KORE” or the “Company”) is an exploration and development stage company that trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol ‘KORE’. The Company is focused on the exploration and development of its California gold projects, Imperial and Long Valley. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 2500, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver BC V6C 3E8.

The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral resource properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. The recoverability of the amounts capitalized to mineral properties is ultimately dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable ore reserves and resources, securing and maintaining title and/or beneficial interest in the properties, obtaining necessary financing to continue to explore, evaluate and develop the properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of such properties. The amounts shown as mineral properties represent costs incurred in acquiring the properties, and do not necessarily represent current or future fair values.

2. GOING CONCERN

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

As at June 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $847,427 (current assets less current liabilities) and has incurred net losses since inception of $23,427,372. For the period ended June 30, 2024, the Company used cash flows in operations of $121,652 (June 30, 2023 - $519,564).

The Company’s ability to continue to carry out its planned exploration and development activities for at least the next twelve months is uncertain and dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and on securing additional financing. Over the past three fiscal years, the Company has raised in excess of $7.4 million from equity financings, net of issuance cost. Although the Company continues to work towards financing its operations, there is no assurance that any such initiatives will be sufficient and, as a result, this material uncertainty may give rise to significant doubt regarding the going concern assumption and, accordingly, the ultimate appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position 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 for the foreseeable future. These adjustments could be material.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applicable to interim financial reports, including International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 30, 2024.

Basis of Measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Significant Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are regularly 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The significant estimates and critical judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were consistent with those applied to the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Imperial Project

In March 2017, the Company purchased Imperial USA Corp. which owns the Imperial project located in California. In settlement of the purchase price, the Company paid US$150,000. The Company issued a 1% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on the property in connection with this acquisition. The remaining payments under the agreement comprised US$1,000,000 payable upon the announcement of a revised Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) or similar report (milestone achieved and payment made during the year ended December 31, 2020) and US$1,000,000 payable 30 days after the date that gold is poured from ore mined from the related properties. The vendor has the option to receive shares in the Company in settlement of this remaining payment of US$1,000,000 up to achieving a maximum 4.9% ownership interest in the Company, above which level further share consideration is at the option of the Company.

KORE MINING LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted)

In May 2019, the Company received an investment from Macquarie Bank Ltd and its affiliates (collectively, “Macquarie”) of $4,000,000. As part of the investment by Macquarie, Macquarie subscribed for 6,000,000 common shares and acquired a 1% NSR royalty on the Imperial Project for a total cost of $4,000,000 (the “Macquarie Royalty”). The agreement provides for certain rights for Macquarie to provide project development financing, rights of refusal and offer on additional royalty issuances and sales and prescribes the proceeds to be used primarily to advance permitting of the Imperial Project.

Long Valley Project

In March 2017, the Company purchased certain mining claims in the Long Valley area of California with an upfront payment of US$350,000 to the vendor. The remaining payments under the agreement comprise US$500,000 due 30 days after commencement of commercial production and US$500,000 payable on the 12-month anniversary of the commencement of commercial production. A US$25,000 deposit was paid to the vendor prior to execution of the purchase agreement, which will be applied to the final payment, unless forfeited in the event the agreement is terminated. The vendor has the option to receive shares in the Company in settlement of the remaining payments.

The vendor retained a net smelter return royalty on the claims (“the Seller NSR”). The Seller NSR provides for a royalty of 0.5% when the price of gold is under US$1,400/oz, 1.0% when the price of gold is between US$1,401 to US$1,600/oz and 2.0% when the price of gold is above US$1,600/oz. The Company has the option to purchase back 1% of the royalty when the price of gold is above US$1,600/oz for US$2 million if purchased prior to the announcement of a feasibility study or for US$4 million if repurchased prior to commencement of commercial production. In addition, there is a further 1% NSR payable to another third party.

12. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

The Company considers items within equity as capital.

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain corporate and administrative functions necessary to support the Company’s operations; to perform mineral exploration activities on the Company’s exploration projects; and to seek out and acquire new projects of merit.

The Company manages its capital structure in a manner that is intended to provide sufficient funding for operational and capital expenditure activities. When necessary, the Company may seek to secure funds, through debt funding or equity capital raised. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain debt or equity capital in the future. (See Note 2).

The Company does not pay dividends and has no long-term debt or bank credit facility. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes to the Company’s capital management policy during the period ended June 30, 2024.

13. RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Risk Management

The Company may be exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The main objectives of the Company’s risk management processes are to ensure that risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal risks to which the Company is exposed are described below.

a. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalent.

The Company has assessed its exposure to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and has determined that such risk is minimal. The majority of the Company’s cash is held with reputable financial institutions in Canada. The Company also considers the credit risk related to the amount receivable from Karus as insignificant and expects to collect the amount within one year.

b. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. As at June 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $847,427 but does not have any long-term monetary liabilities. The Company will seek additional financing through debt or equity offerings, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to endeavor to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when they fall due. As at June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $6,457 to settle current liabilities of $905,140. The Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.

c. Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk arising from the effect of changes in prevailing interest rates on the Company’s financial instruments. The Company holds its cash and cash equivalents on which it earns variable rates of interest and may therefore be subject to a certain amount of risk, though this risk is immaterial.

KORE MINING LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted)

The fair value of KORE’s reclamation bond is subject to interest rate fluctuations. The management does not believe the fluctuations in the fair value of the reclamation bond would have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements given the overall low value of the reclamation bond.

d. Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company maintains its cash reserves in Canadian and United States dollars. The portion of the Company’s funds held in US dollars are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

As at June 30, 2024, the Company has certain monetary items denominated in United States dollars. Based on these net exposures, a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar would result in a decrease or increase of $32,924 (2023 - $534) in the Company’s net loss.

Fair Values

The carrying values of cash, deposits and other receivables and trade and other accounts payable approximate fair values due to their short-term to maturity nature.

14. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition, exploration, and development of exploration and evaluation properties in the United States. The following table shows the geographic breakdown of the Company’s non-current assets:
