Description of the Business
New Destiny Mining Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on September 9, 2009 and is a junior mineral exploration company engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating natural resource properties. The Company is a reporting issuer in British Columbia and Alberta and its shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol NED.V.
The Company is focusing its financial resources on identifying viable exploration projects primarily through acquisitions. In addition, the Company has engaged in negotiations with creditors and significant shareholders and reviewed several strategic opportunities in the mining business with a view to increasing shareholder value.
The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $4,704,766 as at June 30, 2023 which has been funded primarily by the issuance of shares. The Company has no source of operating cash flows and expects to incur further losses in the exploration and development of its mineral properties. The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing or maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors and generating profitable operations in the future.

The Property is adjacent to Nicola Mining Inc.’s Treasure Mountain Property, site of the previous operating Treasure Mountain Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine which exploited polymetallic veins. The Property occurs within the Intermontane Tectonic Belt, which hosts numerous porphyry copper and copper-gold deposits. The Property covers approximately 9500 hectares and hosts seven gold, silver, lead, zinc and / or copper occurrences in various regions as reported in B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines MINFILE database. These include gold-quartz vein, polymetallic vein and porphyry type occurrences. Some of these mineral occurrences have associated historic, underground workings.

Mineral exploration is typically a seasonal business, and accordingly, the Company’s operating expenses, and cash requirements will fluctuate depending upon the season and the level of activity. The Company’s primary source of funding is through the issuance of share capital. When the capital markets are depressed, the Company’s activity level normally declines accordingly. As capital markets strengthen and the Company can secure equity financing with favorable terms, the Company’s activity levels, and the size and scope of planned exploration projects will typically increase.
Fourth Quarter
During the fourth quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $161,516 compared to net gain of $7,502 in the fourth quarter in 2022. Operating expenses for the two quarters are consistent with the exception of higher advertising, administration, and exploration expenditures in 2023. The Company also recorded grant revenue of $30,000 in 2022 which resulted in a net gain for the quarter. Share based compensation of $95,369 recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 also contributed to the higher loss for the period. The Company continues to focus on the Treasure Mountain property and strategic allocation of funds for exploration.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has not entered into any material off-balance sheet arrangements such as guarantee contracts, contingent interests in assets transferred to unconsolidated entities, derivative instrument obligations, or with respect to any obligations under a variable interest entity arrangement.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company’s Operations and results are subject to several different risks at any given time. These factors include but are not limited to disclosure regarding exploration, additional financing, project delay, titles to properties, price fluctuations and share price volatility, operating hazards, insurable risk and limitations of insurance, management, foreign country and regulatory requirements, currency fluctuations and environmental regulation risk.
-
(a) the state of the capital markets, which will affect the ability of the Company to finance further mineral property acquisitions and expand its contemplated exploration programs;
-
(b) the prevailing market prices for base metals and precious metals;
-
(c) the consolidation and potential abandonment of the Company’s property as exploration results provide further information relating to the underlying value of the property; and
-
(d) the ability of the Company to identify and successfully acquire additional mineral properties in which the Company may acquire an interest whether by option, joint venture or otherwise, in addition to or as an alternative to the property.
Financial Instruments and Risk Management
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 – 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 carrying values of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to the following financial risks
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. Management believes that its credit risk is not significant.
Liquidity Risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at June 30, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $3,088 to settle current liabilities of $657,521. All the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. Management expects to fund those liabilities through equity financing and loans from related parties over the coming year.

==> picture [123 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing, and as such, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company is subject to price risk from fluctuations in the market prices of commodities as it relates to the possible underlying values of its commodity based mineral properties and the corresponding ability to raise funds for future operations. Management closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken in its investing and financing activities. As the Company has not yet developed commercial mineral interests, it is not exposed to significant commodity price risk.
Capital Risk Management
The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue common shares or dispose of assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
The Company manages its share capital as capital, which as at June 30, 2023, was $3,951,044 (2022 – $3,862,244). Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended June 30, 2023.
