MARVEL DISCOVERY CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
1. Nature and continuance of operations
Marvel Discovery Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 30, 1987, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The Company changed its name on February 24, 2021. The Company’s shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “MARV”.
The corporate office and principal place of business of the Company is Suite 1100 – 1111 Melville Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6E 3V6.
The Company is in the business of exploring its mineral exploration assets and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. At November 30, 2023 the Company was in the exploration stage and had interests in properties in Canada.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. There is significant uncertainty regarding the outcome of these matters. The Company has sustained losses from operations and has an ongoing requirement for capital investment to explore its exploration and evaluation assets. As at November 30, 2023, the Company had working capital of $128,549 (August 31, 2023 –working capital deficiency $185,773) and accumulated deficit of $16,153,520 (August 31, 2023 - $15,900,936). Based on its current plans, budgeted expenditures, and cash requirements, the Company does not have sufficient cash to finance its current plans. The Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. The Company expects to seek additional financing through equity financing. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing might be available (Note 15).
The Company’s business may be affected by changes in political and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, changes in laws, and national and international circumstances. Recent geopolitical events, including, the outbreaks of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, relations between NATO and Russian Federation regarding the situation in Ukraine, and potential economic global challenges such as the risk of the higher inflation and energy crises, may create further uncertainty and risk with respect to the prospects of the Company’s business.
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.
2. Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on January 29, 2024.

2. Basis of preparation – (cont’d)
Basis of preparation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 3. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.
3. Significant accounting policies
The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at November 30, 2023. The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023.
Recent accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for future accounting periods are as follows:
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)
The amendments to IAS1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies
These amendments continue the IASB's clarifications on applying the concept of materiality which help companies provide useful accounting policy disclosures, and they include: requiring companies to disclose their material accounting policies instead of their significant accounting policies; clarifying that accounting policies related to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions are themselves immaterial and do not need to be disclosed; and clarifying that not all accounting policies that relate to material transactions, other events or conditions are themselves material.
The IASB also amended IFRS Practice Statement 2 to include guidance and examples on applying materiality to accounting policy disclosures. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and the Company evaluated the impact of the amendments on its financial statements and determined that the amendments had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
4. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments
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 net loss in the year of the change, if the change affects that year only, or in the year of the change and future years, if the

change affects both.
Critical judgments, estimates and assumptions in applying accounting policies
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:
Going Concern
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern require significant judgement. See Note 1.
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.
Impairment of Mineral Properties
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for its mineral properties, exploration and evaluation expenditures on mineral properties are capitalized. There is no certainty that the expenditures made by the Company in the exploration of its property interests will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals. The Company applies judgment to determine whether indicators of impairment exist for these capitalized costs.
Management uses several criteria in making this assessment, including the period for which the Company has the right to explore, expected renewals of exploration rights, whether substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of mineral properties are budgeted, and evaluation of the results of exploration and evaluation activities up to the reporting date.
Investment in private company
When the fair values of financial assets recorded on the statement so 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 is not available, judgement is required to establish fair value.

Blackfly Property (Ontario)

11. Financial risk management
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks.
Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash. Holding the cash in large Canadian financial institutions minimizes this risk. The Company has minimal amount receivable exposure, and its various refundable credits are due from the Canadian government. The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to amount due from related party, and the maximum exposure is its carrying amount on the statement of financial position.
Currency Risk
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. There is minimal foreign exchange risk to the Company as its mineral property interests are located in Canada. Management monitors its foreign currency balances and make adjustments based on anticipated need for currencies. The Company does not engage in any hedging activities to reduce its foreign currency risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances at variable rates. The fair value of the Company’s cash accounts is relatively unaffected by changes in short term interest rates. The income earned on certain bank accounts is subject to the movements in interest rates. The Company pays interest on loans at a fixed interest rate which does not pose an interest rate risk. Currently, this risk will have an immaterial effect on operations.
Price Risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from currency risk or interest rate risk). The Company is at risk to changes in commodity prices which may affect financing options available to the Company.

11. Financial risk management – (cont’d)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. The Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital and deferring related party payables.
The Company’s expected source of cash flow in the upcoming year will be through equity financing. Cash on hand at November 30, 2023 and expected cash flows for the next 12 months are not sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing operational needs. The Company will need funding through equity or debt financing, entering into joint venture agreements, or a combination thereof.
Capital Management
The Company is engaged in the mineral exploration field and manages related industry risk issues directly. The Company is potentially at risk for environmental issues and fluctuations in commodity based market prices associated with resource property interests. Management is of the opinion that the Company addresses environmental risk and compliance in accordance with industry standards and specific project environmental requirements.
The Company includes cash and equity in the definition of capital. Equity is comprised of issued common shares, reserves, and deficit.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, purchase shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids or make special distributions to shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the quarter.
Fair Value
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amount. Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
-
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company's financial assets measured at fair values through profit or loss are as follows:
| November 30, 2023 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | |
| Cash | 654,329 | - | - |

| $ | $ | $ | |
| Cash | 395,664 | - | - |
| Investments | 81,667 | - | 535,707 |
Management believes that the recorded values of all cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes, and amounts due to and from related parties approximate their current fair values because of their nature and anticipated settlement dates.
12. Investments
Investments are fair valued at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the common shares of the publicly traded companies have been directly referenced to published price quotations in an active market. The fair value of investments in private company is referenced to the most recent equity financing completed. For public company warrants (i.e., the underlying security of which is traded on a recognized stock exchange), valuation models such as the Black-Scholes model are used when there are sufficient and reliable observable market inputs. These market inputs include risk-free interest rate, exercise price, market price at date of valuation, expected dividend yield, expected life of the instrument and expected volatility of the underlying security. To the extent that the market inputs are insufficient or unreliable, the warrants are valued at their intrinsic value, which is equal to the higher of the closing price of the underlying security less the exercise price of the warrant, or nil.
