1. Corporate Information and Nature of Operations
Monument Mining Limited (“Monument” or “the Company”) is a Vancouver based gold producer, engaged in the operation of gold mines, acquisition, exploration and development of precious metals with a focus on gold. The Company is incorporated and domiciled under the Canada Business Corporations Act and listed on the Toronto Stock Venture Exchange (“TSX-V: MMY”) and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE: D7Q1”) with the head office located at 1100 Melville Street, Suite 1580, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4A6.
The Company’s production, exploration and development mineral assets are 100% owned through its subsidiaries, including the Selinsing Gold Portfolio in Pahang State, Malaysia comprised of the Selinsing, Buffalo Reef, Felda Land and Famehub projects (together “Selinsing”), and Murchison Gold Portfolio in Western Australia, Australia (“WA”) comprised of the Burnakura, Gabanintha and 20% interest in Tuckanarra project.
Selinsing Gold Mine is the primary asset of the Company, located in Pahang State, Malaysia, and was in commercial gold dore production since September 2010 till November 2022. During fiscal 2025, the Company continued gold concentrate production after an additional flotation plant was added to the Selinsing gold processing plant and commissioning was completed in December 2022 in conversion of the Selinsing Gold Plant from an oxide process to a dual oxide and sulphide process plant. The Carbon in Leach (“CIL”) circuit therefore ceased operation and was held for care and maintenance which can be put back to the circuit for oxide ore treatment when needed. The initial ramp up production of sulphide gold concentrates were carried out from January to June 2023. The Selinsing Gold Mine in Malaysia achieved commercial production of sulphide gold concentrates, operating at 90% of its designed production capacity for 30 consecutive days in August 2023.
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, comprising the Company and its subsidiaries, were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on February 19, 2025. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of United States (US) dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars except per share amounts or where otherwise indicated.
2. Basis of Preparation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards - IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. The accounting policies applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by IFRS Accounting Standards for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, as some disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost method except for certain derivatives, which are measured at fair value and were prepared using accounting policies consistent with those in the annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2024.
3. Material Accounting Policies
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Company’s most recent annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024.
a) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of unaudited condensed interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and knowledge of relevant factors such as expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and subject to measurement uncertainty. Actual financial results may not equal the estimated results due to differences between estimated or anticipated events and actual events. The judgments, estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements were similar to those made in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024.

10. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk
The Company's financial instruments are classified and measured at amortized cost (cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities).
a) Fair value measurement
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered reasonable approximations of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company does not have any financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition.
b) Risk exposures and responses
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk is comprised of three types of risk: foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent financial instruments held by the Company are not denominated in US dollars.
At the reporting date, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in Malaysian ringgit (RM), Australian dollar (AUD) and Canadian dollar (CAD):
| December 31, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| (in 000's, US dollar equivalent) | AUD | RM | CAD | AUD | RM | CAD |
| Financial instrument – assets | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 38 | 646 | 93 | 300 | 1,179 | 132 |
| Restricted cash | - | 311 | - | - | 296 | - |
| Trade and other receivable | 23 | 6 | 38 | 23 | 204 | 1 |
| Financial instruments – liabilities | ||||||
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 41 | 9,766 | 161 | 70 | 7,578 | 230 |
The Company has not hedged any of its foreign currency risks.
Based on the above net exposures as at December 31, 2024 and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the RM against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $0.44 million (December 31, 2023: increase/decrease of $0.38 million) in the Company's net income, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the CAD against US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $0.01 million (December 31, 2023: increase/decrease of $0.02 million) in net income and a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the AUD against the US dollar would result in a decrease/increase of approximately $0.01 million (December 31, 2023: decrease/increase of $0.04 million) in net income.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts or otherwise stated)
Price risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the prevailing market price of the gold concentrate that it began producing in 2023 (subject to provisional pricing). The market price of gold is a key driver of the Company's ability to generate cash flow. The Company has not hedged any of its commodity price risks.
The impact on profit or loss before income tax is influenced by changes in commodity prices. The impact on equity is identical to the impact on profit or loss before income tax. The analysis assumes that the price of gold will fluctuate by +/- 15%, with all other variables held constant. Such a change would result in an impact on the income before tax of +/- $5.86 million (Six months ended December 31, 2023: +/- $1.59 million).
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Generally, the Company's interest income will be reduced during sustained periods of lower interest rates as higher yielding cash equivalents and short-term investments mature and the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates. The converse situation will have a positive impact on interest income. In addition to cash equivalents and short-term investments, the Company also has small borrowings that are subject to interest rate risk. These borrowings could potentially increase the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations. However, given their relatively small size, the impact on the Company's overall financial position is minimal.
The Company is subject to interest rate risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents; however, the risk is minimal because of their short-term maturity. To limit this risk, the Company employs a restrictive investment policy. The fair value of financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents is relatively unaffected by changes in short-term interest rates, as these investments are generally held to maturity. Consequently, changes in short-term interest rates do not have a material effect on the Company's operations.
Credit risk
The Company's credit risk on trade receivables is negligible. This low level of risk is primarily due to our contracts with reputable gold off-takers, which adds a layer of security to our receivables. Furthermore, up to 95% of the sale proceeds for gold concentrate are received the following month after delivery to the off-takers. This prompt payment schedule further mitigates the risk of default, making our exposure to credit risk minimal.
The Company is exposed to concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents (Note 4). The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amounts at December 31, 2024. The amount of $1.01 million (June 30, 2024: $1.51 million) is held with a Malaysian financial institution, $0.04 million with an Australian financial institution (June 30, 2024: $0.30 million) and $22.03 million (June 30, 2024: $9.05 million) is held with Canadian financial institutions.
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 manages liquidity risk through budgeting and forecasting cash flows to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet its short-term requirements for operations, business development and other contractual obligations. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid and immediately available on demand for the Company's use. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company's non-derivative financial liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.
