Northcliff Resources Ltd.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1 . NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Northcliff Resources Ltd. (“Northcliff” or the "Company") is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “NCF” and was incorporated on May 18, 2010 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The address of the Company's corporate office is 14th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4H1.

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition and development of mineral properties. The Company holds an 88.5% economic interest in the Sisson Tungsten and Molybdenum Project (the “Sisson Project” or the “Property”), located in New Brunswick, Canada. Todd Minerals Ltd. (“Todd Minerals”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Todd Corporation, holds the remaining 11.5% interest in the Sisson Project.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) are comprised of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). Northcliff is the ultimate parent entity of the Group.

The Group is in the process of advancing and developing the Sisson Project. The Group’s continuing operations and the underlying value and recoverability of the amount shown for the mineral property interest, consisting entirely of the Sisson Project, is dependent upon the ability of the Group to obtain the necessary financing to fund working capital requirements and complete the development and construction of the Sisson Project, obtaining the necessary permits to mine, and the future profitable production from the mine or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interest.

These Financial Statements are prepared on the basis that the Group will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Group’s current sources of funding consist of proceeds from the issuance of common shares of the Company, short term loan (note 8), creditors finance and contributions by Todd Minerals to the Sisson Project Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) to be used to develop the Sisson Project.

Any change in the commitment or timing of debt and equity funding from existing or new shareholders of Northcliff, alternative capital providers, or existing or new limited partners to the Partnership may require Northcliff and the Partnership to curtail planned development activities or seek alternative sources of funding. The recoverability of the carrying value of its mineral property interest is dependent on ongoing access to financing and the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, the sale of the Sisson Project or the Company’s interest in the Partnership. As such, there is material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has concluded that presentation as a going concern is appropriate in these Financial Statements based on the Company’s current financial position, and current plans for the Sisson Project for 2022.

2 . SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of Compliance

These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for complete financial statements for year-end reporting purposes. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended October 31, 2021. Results for the interim reporting period are not necessarily indicative of future results. The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Group in these Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its most recent annual consolidated financial statements which are filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

(b) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as available-for-sale which are stated at fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

Intercompany balances and transactions, including any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in full on consolidation. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

There was no change in the composition of the Group during the current fiscal quarter.

(c) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The critical judgements and estimates applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended October 31, 2021.

8 . LOANS PAYABLE

(a) October-2020 Loan and March-2021 Loan

In October 2020, the Company entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Convertible Loan Agreement”) to borrow $400,000 ("October-2020 Loan") from Todd Sisson (NZ) Limited ("Todd Sisson"), a subsidiary of the Todd Corporation, which is the Company’s largest shareholder and an insider of the Company. October-2020 Loan had an initial term of 12 months, which term was subsequently extended by approximately five months to March 2022 as announced by the Company in December 2021.

In March 2021, the Company and Todd Sisson entered into an amendment and restatement of the Convertible Loan Agreement, pursuant to which Todd Sisson agreed to provide an additional advance in the amount of $400,000 (“March‐2021 Loan”) with a 12‐month term.

In March 2022, pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreement, as amended, the Company settled October-2020 Loan and March-2021 Loan for an aggregate principal sum of $800,000, plus accrued interest of $95,891 calculated at the rate of 10% per annum, by issuing 23,421,971 of its common shares to Todd Sisson.

(b) August-2021 Loan

In August 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Todd Sisson for a loan facility (“August‐2021 Loan”) of up to $1,000,000 that was drawn down in two equal cash advances of $500,000 each on September 1, 2021 and January 10, 2022, respectively.

Each cash advance under August-2021 Loan is secured, will bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and has a term of 12 months with the interest payable at maturity. The principal sum of August-2021 Loan, together with any interest accrued thereon, is repayable at any time by the Company without penalty, or can be settled at any time prior to maturity, either through issuances of shares in the Company ("Share Settlement") or transfer of part of the Company's interest in the Sisson Project Limited Partnership and its general partner, Sisson Mines Ltd. ("Partnership Settlement"), at the election of Todd Sisson. The conversion price used for the Share Settlement or Partnership Settlement of August-2021 Loan will be the higher of the 5-day or 30-day volume weighted average share price (VWAP) of the Company on the TSX at the maturity date.

For the Share Settlement, the maximum discount (currently 25%) allowed under the TSX rules will be applied to the Conversion Price. Disinterested shareholder approval to issue any shares in excess of 10% of currently issued and outstanding common shares was obtained at the annual general meeting held on May 6, 2022. For the Partnership Settlement, the general and limited partnership interest to be transferred will be determined as the percentage that the August-2021 outstanding principal plus accrued interest represents of the implied value of the Sisson Partnership based on the Conversion Price.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

(c) June-2022 Loan 1

On June 23, 2022, the Company announced it had entered into two secured loan agreements (“June‐2022 Loan 1” and “June‐2022 Loan 2”) for an aggregate amount of up to $5.95 million with Todd Sisson. June-2022 Loan 1, which was advanced in full to the Company in July 2022, is a secured loan facility in the amount of $750,000, bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and is repayable on the earlier of its stated maturity or on the initial advance under June-2022 Loan 2.

June-2022 Loan 2 is a secured loan facility in the amount of $5.2 million, will bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and can be drawn down in 4 tranches. As of July 31, 2022, no drawdown on June-2022 Loan 2 was completed. Each of the Tranche drawdowns is subject to the satisfaction of certain condition precedents and has a term of 12 months with the interest payable at maturity. The loan and accrued interest are repayable at any time by the Company without penalty, or can be settled at any time prior to maturity, either through Share Settlement or Sisson Partnership, at the election of Todd. The conversion price used for the Share Settlement or Partnership Settlement of June-2022 Loan 2 will be the 30-day volume weighted average share price of the Company on the Toronto Stock Exchange, ending on and including the date of the conversion notice with a 35% discount applied, in the case of a Share Settlement. For the Partnership Settlement, the general and limited partnership interest to be transferred will be determined as the percentage that the Loan 2 outstanding principal plus accrued interest represents of the implied value of the Sisson Partnership based on the conversion price. Disinterested shareholders of the Company approved the June-2022 Loan 2 at the Company’s extraordinary general meeting held on August 25, 2022.

The Company has recorded the loan payable, net of transaction costs, at amortized cost as a financial liability.
