Sulliden Mining Capital Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements April 30, 2024 and 2023 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Sulliden Mining Capital Inc. (“SMC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on June 10, 2014. The Company holds mineral exploration interests in the East Sullivan property in Quebec, mineral exploration interests in the Salt Cay property in Peru and Uranium exploration interests in the Proterozoic Otish property in Quebec and various investments in public and private entities.
The head office of the Company is located at 198 Davenport Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5R 1J2 and the registered office of the Company is located at the same address. The Company’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “SMC”.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations, and do not include any adjustments to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024, SMC incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss of $519,800 and $1,890,311, respectively (2023 - $340,777 and $4,949,314, respectively) and an accumulated deficit of $36,411,959 (July 31, 2023 - $34,530,778). These matters represent material uncertainties that cast significant doubt as to the Company`s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of SMC as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary equity financing to continue operations, the successful results of mineral property exploration activities and its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom or realize proceeds from their sale. SMC may periodically have to raise additional capital to fund projects and continue operations, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to do so in the future. Management believes SMC will obtain the funding required to maintain current levels of operations and continue as a going concern for the following year.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), effective for the Company’s reporting for the period ended April 30, 2024. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The accounting policies as set out below were consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise noted.
These condensed interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on June 13, 2024.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies as set out in Note 4 of the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2023 have been consistently applied to all the periods presented except for new accounting policies and the adoption of the following new standards and amendments issued by the IASB that were effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. These policies are outlined below.

Sulliden Mining Capital Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements April 30, 2024 and 2023 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted)
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
- a) Principles of consolidation
All entities in which the Company has a controlling interest are fully consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that the control ceases. Control exists when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sulliden Moҫambique, Lda (incorporated in Mozambique), Sulliden Mining and Exploration Namibia (Pty) Ltd. (incorporated in Namibia), 2867935 Ontario Inc. (incorporated in Ontario), Salt Cay Horizons Ltd and Sol Sureno Canada (incorporated in Canada), Sol Sureno S.A.C (incorporated in Peru) and its 75% owned subsidiary Orange Creek Resources Pty Ltd. All inter-company transactions and resulting balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Standards issued but not effective
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after August 1, 2023. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and related notes to the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates. The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:
-
Fair value of investment in securities not quoted in an active market or private company investments - Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Refer to notes 5 and 15 for further details.
-
Fair value of financial derivatives - Investments in options and warrants which are not traded on a recognized securities exchange do not have a readily available market value. When there are sufficient and reliable observable market inputs, a valuation technique is used; if no such market inputs are available, the warrants and options are valued at intrinsic value. Refer to notes 5 and 15 for further details.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
-
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost and determining expected credit losses - The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on amounts receivable and loans receivable. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The Company recognises lifetime ECLs for amounts receivable and loans receivable. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
-
Determining an allowance for expected credit losses ("ECLs") requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest. Financial assets in this category include amounts receivable and loans receivables.
-
Income, value added, withholding and other taxes - The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
-
Income taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets - In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company considers relevant tax planning opportunities that are within the Company’s control, are feasible and within management’s ability to implement. Examination by applicable tax authorities is supported based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position examined in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (continued)
-
Share-based payments - Management determines costs for share-based payments using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based non-vested share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgment used in applying valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of the stock price, expected dividend yield, future employee turnover rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviors and corporate performance. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates.
-
Determination of significant influence of investment in associates - As at April 30, 2024, the Company has classified its investment in Q-Gold Resources Ltd.(“Q-Gold”) as a financial asset based on management’s judgement that it does not consider its ownership of 6% of the outstanding shares of Q-Gold as an investment where the Company has significant influence.
-
Assessment of transaction as an asset purchase or business combination - Assessment of a transaction as an asset purchase or a business combination requires judgements to be made at the date of acquisition in relation to determining whether the acquiree meets the definition of a business. The three elements of a business include inputs. processes and outputs. When the acquiree does not have outputs, it may still meet the definition of a business if its processes are substantive which includes assessment of whether the process is critical and whether the inputs acquired include both an organized workforce and inputs that the organized workforce could convert into outputs.
-
Valuation of refundable mining duties credit and the refundable tax credit for resources - The refundable mining duties credit and the refundable tax credit for resources for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from the taxation authorities using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations, including the mining duties credit and the tax credit for resources for which certain expenditures could be disallowed by the taxation authorities in the calculation of credits, and the amount and timing of their collection. The calculation of the Company’s mining duties credit and tax credit for resources necessarily involves a degree of estimation and judgment in respect of certain items whose tax treatment cannot be finally determined until a notice of assessments and payments has been received from the relevant taxation authority. Differences arising between the actual results following the final resolution of some of these items and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate adjustments to the mining duties credit and tax credit for resources and the exploration and evaluation expenses in future periods.

14. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers its capital structure to consist of share capital, warrants and share purchase options. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments based on the funds available to support the acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral properties. The board of directors has not established quantitative return on capital criteria for management and relies on the expertise of management and the board of directors to sustain future development of the business.
The management and board of directors of the Company review its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believe it reflects a reasonable approach given the relative size of the Company’s assets. The Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body, other than those of the TSX that requires adequate working capital or financial resources such that, in the opinion of the TSX, the listed issuer will be able to continue as a going concern. The TSX will consider, among other things, the listed issuer's ability to meet its obligations as they come due, as well as its working capital position, quick asset position, total assets, capitalization, cash flow and earnings in the financial statements regarding the listed issuer's ability to continue as a going concern.
There were no significant changes to the Company’s capital management during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company expects that its capital resources will be sufficient to discharge its liabilities as of the current reporting date.

Included in unrealized and realized gain for the nine months ended April 30, 2024, the total gain that is attributable to change in realized and unrealized gain relating to those assets and liabilities held at April 30, 2024 was nil (year ended July 31, 2023 - nil).
Within Level 3, the Company includes private company investments that are not quoted on an exchange. The key assumptions used in the valuation of these instruments include (but are not limited to) the value at which a recent financing was done by the investee, company-specific information, trends in general market conditions and the share performance of comparable publicly traded companies.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
The following table presents the fair value, categorized by key valuation techniques and the unobservable inputs used within Level 3 as April 30, 2024:
| Range of significant | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Fair Value | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable inputs(s) | unobservale inputs | |
| Brazil Potash Corp. | $ | 2,201,918 | Recent financing | Marketabilityof shares | 0% discount |
| $ | 2,201,918 |
As valuations of investments for which market quotations are not readily available, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate within short periods of time and are based on estimates, determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have resulted if a ready market existed for the investments. Given the size of the private investment portfolio, such changes may have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or operating results.
Brazil Potash Corp. (“BPC”)
The valuation was based on BPC’s most recent financing of US$4.00 per share. Management has determined that there are no reasonably possible alternative assumptions that would change the fair value significantly as at April 30, 2024. As at April 30, 2024, a +/- 10% change in the fair value of Brazil Potash Corp. will result in a corresponding +/- $220,192 change in income.
Foreign currency risk
The Company operates in Canada and its functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company has acquired some investments which are denominated in foreign currency. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is negligible and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.
Credit risk
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, amounts receivable and loans receivable.
During the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded an expected credit loss of $88,013 which amounts to 25% of the outstanding balance of the loans receivable. The Company has reduced its expectation on loan receivable collections as the loans receivable are overdue as at April 30, 2024, therefore increasing the Company’s credit risk.
Cash is held in financial institutions from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Financial instruments included in amounts receivable consist primarily of goods and services tax and harmonized sales tax due from the Federal Government of Canada.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital markets is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company, or if the value of the Company’s investments decline, resulting in losses upon disposition. In addition, some of the investments the Company holds are lightly traded public corporations or not publicly traded and may not be easily liquidated. The Company generates cash flow from dividend income and proceeds from the disposition of its investments, in addition to interest income and advisory fees. The Company believes that it has sufficient marketable securities that are freely tradable and relatively liquid to fund its obligations as they become due under normal operating conditions. All of the Company’s liabilities and obligations are due within one year.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
As at April 30, 2024, the Company had net working capital of $1,033,698, which included cash of $17,542, investments of $2,343,009, loans receivable of $264,038 and amounts receivable and prepaid expenses of $81,378 offset by current liabilities of $1,672,269. The Company expects to rely on its existing net working capital to finance its ongoing planned activities.
Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control. The supply and demand for commodities, the level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, investment decisions by large holders of commodities including governmental reserves and stability of exchange rates can all cause significant fluctuations in commodities prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns and monetary systems and political developments.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company is exposed to market risk in trading its investments and unfavourable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than favourable prices. In addition, most of the Company’s investments are in the resource sector. The Company mitigates this risk by attempting to have a portfolio that is not singularly exposed to any one issuer, with exception to the Company having one position as at April 30, 2024 that made up of approximately 78% of the total assets (July 31, 2023 - two positions that made up of approximately 64%, and 30% respectively of the total assets).
For the nine months ended April 30, 2024, a 10% (decrease) in the closing price of this concentrated position would result in an estimated decrease in after-tax net income of $0.2 million (July 31, 2023 - $0.3 million).
For the nine months ended April 30, 2024, a 10% (decrease) increase in the closing prices of its portfolio investments would result in an estimated increase (decrease) in after-tax net income (loss) of $0.2 million (July 31, 2023 - $0.3 million). This estimated impact on the statement of comprehensive income (loss) includes the estimated value of the non-traded warrants held, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
