NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
(Unaudited, expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Mongoose Mining Ltd. ("Mongoose" or the "Company") was incorporated on January 16, 2019 under the laws of British Columbia. Effective August 12, 2022, the Company's corporate jurisdiction was continued to Ontario under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). On November 28, 2019, Mongoose completed its Initial Public Offering (the "IPO") and its common shares commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "MNG". On November 10, 2021, Mongoose completed a reverse takeover transaction (the "RTO"), pursuant to which it acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the privately held Spark Minerals Inc. ("Spark"). Spark was incorporated under the Nova Scotia Business Registrations Act on August 22, 2017. Mongoose and Spark completed the RTO pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated March 17, 2021 (the "Share Exchange Agreement") and the resulting reporting issuer (the "Company") continued as Mongoose Mining Ltd.
The Company's registered business address is 55 University Ave., Suite 1805, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2H7.
The Company's principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral exploration and evaluation assets. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not yet determined whether the Company's mineral exploration and evaluation assets contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluations assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposal of properties.
In addition to ongoing working capital requirements, the Company must secure sufficient funding to continue its exploration and development programs. Management is periodically seeking additional financing through the issuance of new equity instruments to continue its operations, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. Without new funding, the Company may be unable to continue its operations, and amounts realized for assets may be less than amounts reflected in these consolidated financial statements.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to its exploration and evaluation properties, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such property, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and noncompliance with regulatory and, environmental requirements. The Company's assets may also be subject to increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, currency exchange fluctuations and restrictions and political uncertainty.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern and as set out below there is material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had continuing losses and had no source of operating cash inflows. Operations have been funded from the issuance of share capital. Given its current stage of operations, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on its ability to obtain additional financing. 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. In the event the Company is unable to raise adequate financing or meet its current obligations, the carrying value of the Company's unproven exploration and evaluation property could be subject to material adjustments. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were inappropriate.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

7. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Pursuant to the Company's share-based compensation program, directors may, from time to time, authorize the issuance of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, enabling them to acquire up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The options can be granted for a maximum term of 10 years and are subject to vesting provisions as determined by the Board of Directors.
On June 1, 2022, the Company granted 900,000 options to directors of the Company, exercisable at $0.30 per share for a five year period. The options vest quarterly over a period of two years. The grant date fair value of these options was estimated at $112,532. The following assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of options granted, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model: expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 124% determined based on the Company's historical volatility for the same period as the options' life, risk-free interest rate of 0.93%, share price of $0.16 and an expected life of 5 years. In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $35,026 (2022 - $75,595) of share-based compensation with respect to these options.
As at September 30, 2024, the Company had the following outstanding stock options.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As all financial assets and liabilities are short-term, the carrying values are considered a reasonable approximation of fair value. The Company is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments, which are the same as the risks in the prior year. Following is a summary of the most significant financial risks.
(a) CREDIT RISK
Cash and amounts receivable are exposed to credit risk. The Company maintains its cash invested in demand deposits at a major Canadian bank. The amounts receivable consist of harmonized sales taxes due from the Government of Canada. The Company believes that exposure to credit risk is low.
(b) LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. The Company's liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company is not

(Unaudited, expressed in Canadian dollars)
able to raise additional funds through financings. On September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $2,421 to settle current liabilities of $324,234.
(c) INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary assets and liabilities.
(d) CURRENCY RISK
The Company has no significant financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Canada and its functional currency is the Canadian Dollar. Cash is held in Canadian dollars and virtually all the Company's costs are denominated in Canadian dollars.
(e) COMMODITY PRICE RISK
The ability of the Company to develop its mineral properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of certain minerals and metals.
- CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The capital of the Company consists primarily of its shareholders' equity.
The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding, done primarily through equity financing, to support the exploration, development and exploration of mineral properties and to maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. Future financings are dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise funds in the future. All equity financings require the approval of the Board of Directors.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
There were no significant changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company's mineral and exploration activities are subject to various 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 operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
