Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
SATURNAGROUP CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANTS LLP
Suite 1605, 1166 Alberni Street Vancouver, BC Canada V6E 3Z3
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Lancaster Resources Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Lancaster Resources Inc. (formerly Lancaster Lithium Inc.) (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 ("IFRS").
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company has not generated any revenues, incurred negative cash flows from operations of $89,788, and incurred a net loss of $1,548,884 during the year ended March 31, 2025 and, as of that date, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,945,213 and an accumulated deficit of $8,874,122. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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 for the year ended March 31, 2025. 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. Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section of our report, we have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management's Discussion and Analysis, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
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. If, based on the work we have performed, 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, 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 for the entities or business activities within the Group 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.
2
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 period and therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter of 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 Henry Chow.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Lancaster Resources Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia on September 18, 2019. On April 9, 2020, the Company changed its name to NeonMind Biosciences Inc. The Company was previously engaged in drug development research into potential therapeutic uses of psychedelic compounds. On December 30, 2020, the Company completed an initial public offering and the Company's common shares were listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Exchange"). On June 7, 2023, the Company changed its name to Lancaster Resources Inc. On June 9, 2023, the Company completed a reverse takeover ("RTO") transaction with Lancaster Lithium Inc. ("Lancaster Lithium") (Note 3), whereby the former shareholders of Lancaster Lithium became the controlling shareholders of the Company and Lancaster Lithium became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company changed its business from drug development to exploration of energy transition metals. On June 14, 2023, the Company's common shares resumed trading on the Exchange under the ticker symbol "LCR".
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Management is aware, in making its going concern assessment, of material uncertainties related to events and conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company had no revenues, incurred a net loss of $1,548,884, and incurred negative cash flow from operations of $89,788. As at March 31, 2025, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,945,213 and an accumulated deficit of $8,874,122. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on future profitable operations, management's ability to manage costs, and the future availability of equity or debt financing. Whether and when the Company can generate sufficient operating cash flows to pay for its expenditures and settle its obligations as they fall due is uncertain. 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 were the going concern assumption be inappropriate. The impact of those adjustments to the consolidated financial statements could be material.

2. Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value of marketable securities, fair value of convertible debentures and share-based compensation, and measurement of unrecognized deferred income tax assets. Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS that have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements include:
- the application of the going concern assumption, which requires management to consider all available information about the future, which is at least but not limited to 12 months from the end of the reporting period;
- the determination of whether a set of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition constitutes a business may require the Company to make certain judgments, considering all facts and circumstances. A business is presumed to be an integrated set of activities and assets capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs, or economic benefits; and
- judgment in determining whether it is likely that the future economic benefits are likely either from future exploitation or sale or where activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. The deferral policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events or circumstances, in particular, whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance, are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value to be cash equivalents.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing their respective net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The treasury stock method is used for the calculation of diluted loss per share, where all "in the money" stock options and share purchase warrants are assumed to have been exercised at the beginning of the period and the proceeds from their exercise are assumed to have been used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. When a loss is incurred during the period, the basic and diluted loss per share is considered anti-dilutive. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had 37,053,099 (2024 – 34,794,103) potentially dilutive shares outstanding.

2. Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
Business Combinations
The Company evaluates acquisitions to determine whether it is a business combination or an asset acquisition. The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company includes the results of operations of acquired businesses in its consolidated financial statements as of the respective dates of acquisition. The purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill.
The determination of fair value requires considerable judgment and is sensitive to changes in the underlying assumptions. The Company's estimates are preliminary and subject to adjustment, which may result in material changes to the final valuation. During the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from closing, the Company may continue to obtain information to assist in finalizing the acquisition date fair values. Any qualifying changes to the preliminary estimates will be recorded as adjustments to the respective assets and liabilities, with any residual amounts allocated to goodwill. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred, unless they qualify to be treated as debt issue costs, or as cost of issuing equity securities.
Asset acquisitions are accounted for using a cost accumulation model, with the cost of the acquisition allocated to the acquired assets based on their relative fair values. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition.
Financial Instruments
Under IFRS 9, financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. IFRS 9 contains three primary measurement categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), and fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL").
The following is the Company's accounting policy for financial instruments under IFRS 9:
| Financial instrument | Classification under IFRS 9 |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | Amortized cost |
| Marketable securities | FVTPL |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Due to related parties | Amortized cost |
| Convertible debentures | Amortized cost |
Financial Assets
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value. The classification of financial assets depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or does not meet the criteria to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
- it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
- on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if they are not designated at FVTPL, and the following conditions are met:
- are non-derivative financial assets which are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and,
- the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Financial assets at FVOCI
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income only if they are not designated at FVTPL, and the following conditions are met:
- it has been held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and,
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those classified as FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been decreased.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are offset against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Loss allowances are based on the lifetime ECL's that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the trade receivable, using the simplified approach.
For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statement of operations 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.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities (including loans and borrowings and trade payables and other liabilities) are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial Instruments (continued)
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized as the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment charge.
The recoverable amount used for this purpose is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 recorded amount, the recorded amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment charge is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
Exploration expenditures excluding acquisition costs and claim maintenance costs are capitalized. Costs incurred relating to the acquisition and claim maintenance of mineral properties, including option payments and annual fees to maintain the property in good standing are capitalized and deferred until the project to which they relate is sold, abandoned, impaired, or placed into production.
The Company assesses its exploration and evaluation assets for indications of impairment on each statement of financial position date and when events and circumstances indicate a risk of impairment. A property is written down or written off when the Company determines that an impairment of value has occurred or when exploration results indicate that no further work is warranted.
Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when indicators and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment. 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 the consolidated statement of operations.
Industry-specific indicators for an impairment review arise typically when one of the following applies:
- Substantive expenditure or further exploration and evaluation activities is neither budgeted nor planned;
- Title to the asset is compromised, has expired, or is expected to expire;
- Adverse changes in the taxation, regulatory or political environment;
- Adverse changes in variables in commodity prices and markets making the project unviable; and
- Variations in the exchange rate for the currency of operation.

2. Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures (continued)
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit "CGU") 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 CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of operations.
Reclamation and remediation provisions
The Company recognizes a provision for statutory, contractual, constructive, or legal obligations associated with decommissioning of mining operations and reclamation and rehabilitation costs arising when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration or development of mineral properties, plant, and equipment. Provisions for site closure and reclamation are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred or acquired, and are measured based on expected future cash flows to settle the obligation, discounted to their present value. The discount rate used is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability including risks specific to the countries in which the related operation is located.
When an obligation is initially recognized, the corresponding cost is capitalized to the carrying amount of the related asset in exploration and evaluation assets. These costs are depleted using either the unit of production or straight-line method depending on the asset to which the obligation relates.
The obligation is increased for the accretion and the corresponding amount is recognized as a finance expense. The obligation is also adjusted for changes in the estimated timing, amount of expected future cash flows, and changes in the discount rate. Such changes in estimates are added to or deducted from the related asset except where deductions are greater than the carrying value of the related asset in which case, the amount of the excess is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Due to uncertainties concerning environmental remediation, the ultimate cost to the Company of future site restoration could differ from the amounts provided. The estimate of the total provision for future site closure and reclamation costs is subject to change based on amendments to laws and regulations, changes in technology, price increases, changes in interest rates, and as new information concerning the Company's closure and reclamation obligations becomes available.
Share-based Payments
The stock option plan allows Company employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The grant date fair value of share options granted to employees is recognized as share-based compensation expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the share options. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of share options that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share options with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
Where equity instruments are granted to parties other than employees, they are recorded by reference to the fair value of the services received. If the fair value of the services received cannot be reliably estimated, the Company measures the services received by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the counterparty renders service.
All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in share-based payment reserve, unless exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in share-based payment reserve is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.

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. 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 statement of financial position 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 if it is probable that sufficient taxable income 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 when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and 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 tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Management has determined that the Company shall not recognize any deferred income tax assets due to the early stage of the business and the uncertainty regarding the future of the ability to generate income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the year ended March 31, 2025, and have not been early adopted in preparing these consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to the structure of the statement of earnings (loss), required disclosures in the financial statements for certain earnings or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and also applies to comparative information. The Company is still in the process of assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (amendments to IAS 1, presentation of financial statements)
On January 23, 2020, an amendment was issued to IAS 1 to address inconsistencies with how entities apply the standards over classification of current and non-current liabilities. The amendment serves to address whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement should be classified as current or non-current. This amendment is effective on January 1, 2024. The Company adopted the amendment on the effective date and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
Non-current liabilities with covenants (amendments to IAS 1)
The amendments to IAS 1 specify that only covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. In addition, an entity has to disclose information in the notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and are to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted the amendment on the effective date and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments ("Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7")
In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 which clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system, clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows such as instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets; and update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at FVOCI. Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still in the process of assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Acquisition of Lancaster Lithium
On June 9, 2023, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction (the "Transaction") pursuant to which it acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Lancaster Lithium, a company incorporated in the province of British Columbia. Under the terms of the Transaction, the Company issued 39,476,861 common shares, 17,735,594 share purchase warrants, and 3,276,000 stock options in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares, warrants, and options of Lancaster Lithium.
As a result of the completion of the Transaction, the former shareholders of Lancaster Lithium acquired 93% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, and, for accounting purposes, are considered to have acquired control of the Company. Accordingly, the Transaction constitutes a reverse acquisition of the Company by Lancaster Lithium and has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition transaction as there was a change of control. As the Company did not qualify as a business prior to the closing of the transaction according to the definition in IFRS 3, Business Combinations, this acquisition did not constitute a business combination; rather, it was treated as an issuance of shares by Lancaster Lithium for the net assets of the Company. Accordingly, no goodwill was recorded with respect to the Transaction. The Transaction was measured at the fair value of the common shares that Lancaster Lithium would have had to issue to the shareholders of the Company, being 3,036,011 common shares with a fair value of $607,202, 2,060,110 warrants with a fair value of $11,146 and 47,209 stock options with a fair value of $7,166, to give the shareholders of the Company the same percentage of equity interest in the combined entity that results from the reverse acquisition had it taken the legal form of Lancaster Lithium acquiring the Company. The fair value of common shares, warrants and stock options issued were estimated based on the Company's financing event, which took place concurrently with the reverse takeover transaction at the price of $0.20 per common share. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company as at June 9, 2023, and the historical accounts of the business of Lancaster Lithium since its incorporation on July 12, 2019.

4. Spin-off
On January 29, 2024, the Company entered into a plan of arrangement with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nelson Lake (the "Plan of Arrangement"). The Plan of Arrangement was approved by the Company's shareholders by special resolutions at a special meeting of the shareholders on March 15, 2024 and was approved by the British Columbia Supreme Court in a final order on March 25, 2024. On April 2, 2024, The Company subscribed for 1,650,000 common shares of Nelson Lake at a price of $0.02 per common share with a payment of $33,000. On the same date, the Company issued 550,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares to Nelson Lake for proceeds of $33,000.
On April 2, 2024, the Company declared a share dividend of 1,046,269 Nelson Lake shares based on $0.01 net assets per share in Nelson Lake for each of the common shares of the Company held as of the record date of February 5, 2024 (the "Spin-Off"). Following the spin-off transaction, the Company holds 703,732 common shares of Nelson Lake, representing approximately 40% of Nelson Lake's total issued and outstanding shares. Nelson Lake continues to meet the criteria for consolidation based on IFRS 10 as it has majority interest in Nelson Lake's Board of Directors and controls the day-to-day operations of Nelson Lake, and the Company continues to present Nelson Lake's financial results on a consolidated basis.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments, based on the funds available to the Company, to support the general operations of the Company and facilitate the liquidity needs of its operations.

The Company defines capital to include its working capital position and share capital. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
