MCFARLANE LAKE MINING LIMITED Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) ( Unaudited )

1. Nature of Operations

McFarlane Lake Mining Limited (the "Company"), formerly 1287401 B.C. Ltd (“1287401”), was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on February 03, 2021, and was continued into the Province of Ontario on January 26, 2022. The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral resource properties in Canada.

On January 14, 2022, 1287401 completed a reverse takeover transaction (the “RTO” or “Transaction”) with McFarlane Lake Mining Incorporated (“McFarlane”), a privately held mineral exploration company incorporated under the laws of Province of Ontario on August 21, 2020, by way of “three-cornered” amalgamation. The issuer resulting from the Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer”) carries on the business of McFarlane under the name “McFarlane Lake Mining Limited”.

The Transaction constituted a reverse acquisition in accordance with International Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as the shareholders of McFarlane took control of 1287401. As McFarlane was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, the resulting consolidated statements of financial position were presented as a continuance of McFarlane’s operations at their historical carrying values, and the comparative figures presented are those of McFarlane. The results of operations, the cash flows, and the assets and liabilities of 1287401 have been included in these consolidated financial statements since January 14, 2022.

The Company’s shares are listed on the Cboe Canada Exchange (formerly the NEO Exchange) under the symbol “MLM”. The Company’s shares are also listed on the US OTC Exchange under the symbol “MLMLF”. The Company’s corporate office is at 15 Kincora Court, Sudbury, Ontario P3E 2B9, Canada.

2. Going Concern

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due. The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that the planned exploration programs will ultimately result in profitable mining operations.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it will conduct exploration and in which it has an interest in accordance with industry standards to the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to government licensing, requirements, or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, first nations’ claims and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company’s assets may also be subject to increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contacts and political uncertainties.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to the adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its obligations and commitments in other than the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses for the three months ended November 30, 2023, and as of November 30, 2023, has a deficit.

The business of mining and exploration for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interests in the underlying properties, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise additional financing as necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis.

MCFARLANE LAKE MINING LIMITED Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) ( Unaudited )

2. Going Concern (continued)

The Company has raised capital for working capital and the planned exploration and development of its mineral properties. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon successful results from its planned exploration and evaluation activities, its ability to attain profitable operations to generate funds and its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet its current and future obligations for the next 12 months. Although the Company has been successful in raising funds to date there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. On November 1 and 27, 2023, the Company closed two non-brokered private placement offerings (the “Offerings”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,605,100 to meet part of its financial obligations for the next 12 months (see also note 8).

These matters represent material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

3. Basis of Preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standard 34, (“IAS 34”), Interim Financial Reporting . These interim financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s August 31, 2023 financial statements.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 10, 2024.

(b) Basis of measurement

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets which are carried at fair value. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financials have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

(c) Principles of consolidation

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entity it controls.

Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities, are exposed to, or have rights to, variable returns from the Company’s involvement with the entity and have the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases. Profit or loss of subsidiaries acquired during the year are recognized from the date of acquisition or effective date of disposal as applicable. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

As of November 30, 2023, the Company has one wholly owned subsidiary: McFarlane Lake Mining Incorporated.

(d) Functional and presentation currency:

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars ("CAD"), which is also the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are discussed below:

a) 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 titles. Such properties may be subject to prior agreement or transfers and titles may be affected by undetected defects.

b) Valuation of share-based payments

The Company values share-based payments granted using market-based generally accepted valuation techniques at the date of grant. Assumptions made for the valuation include volatility of the share price, risk free interest rate and the life of the stock options granted. Such assumptions are highly subjective and changes in these assumptions materially affect the calculated fair value. Assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 9. The expected volatility assumptions for option grants are based on comparable companies.

c) Valuation of deferred income tax assets

Each year, the Company evaluates the likelihood of whether some portion of deferred tax assets, if any, will be realized. This evaluation is based on historic and future expected levels of taxable income, the timing of reversals of taxable temporary timing differences that give rise to deferred tax liabilities, tax planning initiative, and deferred tax rates.

d) Going concern

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment

7

MCFARLANE LAKE MINING LIMITED Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) ( Unaudited )

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

regarding future funding available for its exploration projects and working capital requirements.

e) Existence of decommissioning and restoration costs and timing of expenditure

Decommissioning, restoration, and similar liabilities are estimated based on the Company's interpretation of current regulatory requirements and constructive obligations and are measured at fair value. Fair value is determined based on the net present value of estimated future cash expenditures for the settlement of decommissioning, restoration, or similar liabilities that may occur upon decommissioning of the mine. Such estimates are subject to change based on changes in laws and regulations with regulatory authorities.

f) Income, value added, withholding and other taxes

The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Judgment is used in determining provisions for taxes as there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The determination of the Company's income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations, which may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the consolidated interim financial statement reporting period. In case 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.

g) Provisions and contingencies

Provisions and contingencies arising in the course of operations, including provisions for income or other tax matters are subject to estimation uncertainty. Management uses all information available in assessing the recognition, measurement and disclosure of matters that may give rise to provisions or contingencies. The actual outcome of various provisional and contingent matters may vary and may cause significant adjustments to the Company’s assets when the amounts are determined or additional information is required.

h) Flow-through shares

The Company may, from time to time, issue flow-through common shares to finance a portion of its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. On the date of issuance of the flow-through shares, the premium relating to the proceeds received in excess of the fair value of the Company’s common shares is allocated to premium on flow-through shares liability. The reduction to the premium liability in the period of renunciation is recognized through operations.

Use of estimates

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management believes the estimates are reasonable; however,

MCFARLANE LAKE MINING LIMITED Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) ( Unaudited )

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows. Significant estimates include the valuation of options using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Significant accounting policies - other

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s most recent annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual financial statements.

New standards adopted in the period

During the three months ended November 30, 2023, the Company adopted the following amendment. This change did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) was amended in January 2020 to provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent is based solely on a company’s right to defer settlement at the reporting date. The right needs to be unconditional and must have substance. The amendments also clarify that the transfer of a company’s own equity instruments is regarded as settlement of a liability, unless it results from the exercise of a conversion option meeting the definition of an equity instrument. In February 2021, the IASB issued ‘Disclosure of Accounting Policies’ with amendments that are intended to help preparers in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements.

IAS 8 – In February 2021, the IASB issued ‘Definition of Accounting Estimates’ to help entities distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates.

IAS 12 – In May 2021, the IASB issued ‘Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction’ that clarifies how entities account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations.

New standards not yet adopted and interpretations issued but not yet effective

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after December 1, 2023. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.

IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”) and IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”) were amended in September 2014 to address a conflict between the requirements of IAS 28 and IFRS 10 and clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture, the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business. The effective date of these amendments is yet to be determined, however early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt these amendments as of their effective date, and is currently assessing the impacts on adoption.

5. Exploration and Evaluation Properties

West Hawk Lake, High Lake and McMillan Properties

On December 30, 2021, the Company executed a purchase agreement with Canadian Star Minerals Ltd. (the “Optioner”) to acquire 100% interest in certain mining claims. The purchase price paid by the Company upon exercise of the option was satisfied as follows:

  • $2,750,000 of cash consideration;

  • 5,625,000 of common shares issued by the Company with a deemed value of $2,250,000 which represents $2,750,000 less the cumulative amount paid by the Company in option payments of $550,000; and

  • transferred to the Optioner 7,000,000 issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Company held by certain officers and directors of the Company upon closing of the transaction. The shares were valued at $1,700,000 based on the quoted market price of $0.085 per share. The contributed amount was recorded as exploration and evaluation expenditures in the consolidated statement of loss.

The property is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) for the McMillian mine claims and a 2% NSR with the right to purchase 1% for a purchase price of $1,250,000 for the High Lake claims. The Company is also required to pay $10,000 every June 15 until such time as commercial production has commenced on the mining claims or the optionee offers to return the mining claims.

Mongowin Property

On February 1, 2022, the Company executed a purchase agreement with Transition Metals Corpl, (“Mongowin Optionor”) to acquire 100% interest in certain mining claims and patented claims located in Northeastern Ontario in Mongowin Township. The definitive agreement to purchase the Property was subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • a) $15,000 cash payment for a 5-month period exclusivity to transact;

  • b) $45,000 to affect a 3-month extension of the period of exclusivity;

  • c) $585,000, of which $85,000 was paid in cash and $500,000 was settled by the issuance of

  • common shares of the Company;

  • d) The Company granted the Mongowin Optionor a 1.5% Net Smelter Return Royalty;

  • e) A portion of the property is subject to an additional existing NSR of which 0.5% may be

  • purchased for $600,000;

  • f) Beginning on the fifth anniversary of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will pay the Mongowin Optionor advanced royalty payments of $25,000 per year (in cash or common shares) to a maximum total of $250,000 (in cash or shares). Any exploration expenditures incurred on the Mongowin Property will offset this payment on a dollar for dollar basis. If the Company does not pay the advanced royalty payments or spend the required exploration expenditure, the Mongowin Optionor may choose to purchase the property for $1;

  • g) The Mongowin Optionor is entitled to a one-time milestone payment of $2,500,000 upon the commercial exploitation of mineral products on the Mongowin Property. As this payment is contingent on future commercial production, which cannot be determined, no provision as been recorded in these consolidated financial statements.

11. Capital Management

The Company defines capital as consisting of common share capital, options reserve and deficit.

The Company’s objective in managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration and development of its mineral property interests and to maintain a flexible capital structure which will optimize the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

The Company endeavours to manage its capital structure in a manner that provides sufficient funding for operational activities through funds primarily secured through equity capital obtained in private placements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to continue raising capital in this manner. Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past through the issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will be able to continue this form of financing due to the current difficult conditions. The Company makes adjustments to its management of capital in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its assets, seeking to limit shareholder dilution and optimize its costs of capital while maintaining an acceptable level of risk.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

12. Financial Risks and Concentration of Risk

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or an equity instrument of another entity.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term or demand nature of these financial instruments.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations. The Company mitigates its exposure by monitoring the counterparty’s ability to repay.

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 its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. The Company prepares annual capital expenditure budgets, which are monitored and updated as required. In addition, the Company requires authorization from the Board of Directors for expenditures on projects to assist with the management of capital.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at November 30, 2023:

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Consulting Agreements

The Company entered into consulting agreements on January 4, 2022 with its key management personnel (the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) at combined consulting fees of $27,000 per month. These contracts require payment of approximately $1 million upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, as defined by each officer’s respective consulting agreement. The Company is also committed to payments upon termination of approximately $420,000 pursuant to the terms of these contracts. As a triggering event has not taken place, these amounts have not been recorded in these consolidated financial statements.

Environmental Contingencies

The Company’s exploration activities are subject to various federal, state, provincial, and international laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. See also Note 6 (exploration and evaluation properties).

Flow-through Financings

The Company has entered into flow-through private placements (“FT Placements”) to fund exploration activities. Canadian tax rules require the Company to spend flow-through funds on “Canadian exploration expenses” (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) by the end of the calendar year following the year in which they were raised. The Company indemnified the subscribers of flow-through shares from any tax consequences should the Company, notwithstanding its plans, fail to meet its commitments under the flow-through subscription agreements.

In November, 2023, the Company completed a FT Placement for $2,000,100, thus committing to spend this amount by December 31, 2024 on “Canadian exploration expenses” which qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures”, as these terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (“Resource Expenditures”). Upon the issuance of the FT Shares, the Company recorded an aggregate flow-through share premium liability of $1,000,050. During the three months ended November 30, 2023, the Company incurred $8,899 of resource expenditures and recorded a flowthrough share premium recovery of $4,449 in the condensed consolidated interim statement of loss. The Company intends to incur the remaining $1,991,202 of resource expenditures by December 31, 2024 to complete its commitment.

The Company’s exploration and evaluation activities are subject to laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company believes its activities are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

14. Subsequent Event

On December 28, 2023 the Company’s board of directors approved (i) the grant of 5,650,000 stock options (collectively, the “Options”) to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company; and (ii) the grant of 3,600,000 restricted share units (collectively, the “RSUs”) to certain consultants of the Company, each in accordance with the rules of Cboe Canada and the applicable plan.

18
