ALCHEMIST MINING INC. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Six Months Ended October 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Alchemist Mining Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as NY85 Capital Inc. under the Business Corporations Act on October 22, 2010 in the province of British Columbia. On October 1, 2012, the shareholders of the Company approved the name change from NY85 Capital Inc. to Alchemist Mining Inc. at the Annual General and Special Meeting of the Company. On August 20, 2014, the Company de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange and commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). The common shares of the Company are listed for trading on the CSE under the symbol AMS.X. The Company has been operating in a single business segment focusing on mineral exploration in Canada.

All issued and outstanding shares and warrants in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been updated to reflect the Company’s consolidation on the basis of 20 preconsolidated common shares to 1 post-consolidated common share (Note 6).

2. GOING CONCERN

These condensed consolidated interim 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.

For the six months ended October 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $386,220, (2021 – $234,435), and as at October 31, 2022, has an accumulated deficit of $6,369,616 (April 30, 2022 – $5,983,396). At October 31, 2022, the Company has a working capital of $7,961 (April 30, 2022 –$199,569). The Company has limited resources, no sources of operating cash flows and no assurances that sufficient funding will be available to continue operations for an extended period of time. These circumstances indicate that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The application of the going concern concept is dependent upon the Company’s ability to satisfy its liabilities as they become due and to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of its technologies and the attainment of profitable operations. Management is actively engaged in seeking to raise the necessary capital to meet its funding requirements. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these condensed consolidated financial statements, then adjustments may be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the consolidated statement of financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

On March 11, 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, was declared by the World Health Organization as a global pandemic. This has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and physical distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Approval of the consolidated financial statements

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended October 31, 2022 were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved and authorized for issue on December 28, 2022 by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated financial interim statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company’s and its subsidiary’s functional currency. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value.

The Company uses the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the audited annual financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2022.

Basis of consolidation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned, 100% controlled subsidiary, 1282112 BC Ltd., incorporated and located in British Columbia (“1282112”). Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, contingent assets, and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and 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 may differ from these estimates.

Significant accounting judgments

Going concern

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures, meet its liabilities for the ensuing year, and to fund planned and contractual technology development programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances .

ALCHEMIST MINING INC. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Six Months Ended October 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

Deferred income tax

The Company recognizes a deferred tax asset to extent recovery is probable. Assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires management to make significant estimates of future taxable profit against which deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. In addition, changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial instruments are agreements between two parties that result in promises to pay or receive cash or equity instruments. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short term to maturity.

Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s financial instruments classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy are cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Their carrying values approximate the fair values due to short-term maturity of these instruments.

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

  • Credit risk;

  • Liquidity risk; and

  • Market risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash, by placing cash at major Canadian financial institutions.

10

ALCHEMIST MINING INC. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Six Months Ended October 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquid funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The contractual financial liabilities of the Company as of October 31, 2022 equal $139,422 (April 30, 2022 - $213,253). All of the liabilities presented as accounts payable are due within 90 days of October 31, 2022. The Company is seeking additional sources of capital through financing opportunities.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on capital.

As at October 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company is not exposed to significant market risk.

ALCHEMIST MINING INC. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Six Months Ended October 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

10. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company considers its capital to be comprised of shareholders’ equity.

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. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares. Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past through the issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will continue this method of financing due to the current difficult market conditions.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. Management reviews the capital structure on a regular basis to ensure that the above objectives are met. There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended October 31, 2022. The Company is not subject to external restrictions on its capital.

11. DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS

All Nations
