Nature of Business and Overall Performance

Apogee Minerals Ltd. was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on February 20, 2021 under the name “Tri Capital Opportunities Corp.” pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and was classified as a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) Policy 2.4. On July 9, 2019, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”)..

On July 19, 2021, the Company completed its qualifying transaction, in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies. Following completion of the qualifying transaction, the Company changed its name to Apollo Minerals Ltd. and be listed on the exchange as a Tier 2 mining issuer under the new trading symbol TSX-V: APMI.

The Company’s head office and registered and records office address is Suite 1610 – 777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, BC.

The principal business carried on and intended to be carried on by the Company is the acquisition, exploration of mineral properties. The Company is engaged in the business of mineral exploration in Saskatchewan. Its objective is to locate and develop economic precious and base metals properties of merit.

The Company will continue to assess new mineral properties and will seek to acquire interests in additional properties if the Company determines such properties have sufficient geologic or economic merit and if the Company has adequate financial resources to complete such acquisitions. The Company is primarily a junior exploration company with no revenues from mineral producing operations. The recoverability of amounts shown for the mineral properties and related deferred exploration expenditures is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration of the property, and upon future profitable production.

Pine Channel Gold Property

On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement with Eagle Plains Resources Ltd, to acquire an undivided 80-per-cent interest in and to certain mineral claims in northern Saskatchewan, collectively known as the Pine Channel gold property.

On September 17, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment whereby the Optionor acquired back a mineral tenure with a cash payment of $12,500.

The Company entered into an amendment whereby the cash payment due December 31, 2022 has been extended to June 30, 2024.

On March 31, 2023, the Company staked one claim totaling 16 hectares for $1,200.

On March 15, 2024, the Company amended the Pine Channel option agreement to extend the cash payment requirements and the due date on the minimum exploration expenditures, the amendments are reflected in the payment schedule below. Upon regulatory approval, the Company will issue the vendor 50,000 common shares.

Project Highlights:

• Multiple untested geophysical anomalies associated with favourable geology

• Targets for multiple deposit models (Orogenic Au and Unconformity-U)

• Encouraging exploration to date including mineralized drill intercepts

• Mineralization underexplored and open in both directions along strike and at depth

• Excellent access with existing winter road to within 1km and central portions of the property accessible by boat or float plane

Pine Channel Gold Property

The Pine Channel gold property consists of 28 mineral dispositions covering 6,502.63 hectares, located approximately 40 kilometres west of Stony Rapids, Sask., the logistics/business hub for Northern Saskatchewan. The property can be accessed year-round by float- or ski-equipped aircraft from Stony Rapids or Fort MacMurray, AB. The eastern and northern part of the property is transected by a high voltage powerline. Most geological fieldwork is limited to late May to October but other operations such as some geophysical surveys and diamond drilling can be completed year round.

The main deposit type that is being explored for at Pine Channel is structurally controlled vein-quartz (lode) gold deposits. Mineral occurrences on the Pine Channel Property are predominantly gold with rare base metal occurrences. Within the Pine Channel tenure there are eighteen historical showings reported by the Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI).

In 2019 and 2020, Eagle Plains Resources completed field programs on the Pine Channel property. The work was focused on prospecting, sampling and mapping in the areas of known mineralization, the highlights from these work programs and historical work is summarized below. Analytical results from the 25 rock samples collected in 2019 returned values ranging from seven to 77,500 ppb Au, 15 of which returned greater than one g/t Au, and seven returned greater than 10 g/t Au.

Analytical results from the 72 rock samples collected in 2020 returned values ranging from 6 to 68,400 ppb Au. 23 of the samples returned greater than 1 g/t Au, and eight returned greater than 10 g/t Au. The most encouraging of the known showings are the ELA Shaft showing (SMDI 1574) and Occurrence No. 6 and No. 8 (SMDI 1581), which both demonstrate anomalous gold geochemical results and potential for extension of known mineralization along strike. The 2019 and 2020 work confirmed the widespread occurrences of structurally controlled auriferous quartz veins and associated shear systems within the Pine Channel property.

Summer 2022 Program

The Company has completed the airborne geophysics survey at the Pine Channel project located 43 km west of Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan. The program was comprised of helicopter-borne high-resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric surveying covering 380 line-km. The survey commenced in early June and has been completed by Precision Geosurveys Inc. of Langley, British Columbia.

The Company also announces the completion of Lidar and Orthophoto surveys conducted by Eagle Mapping Ltd. of Langley British Columbia, covering a total of 70 km2 of prospective ground.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

Cash is carried at fair value using a level 1 fair value measurement. The fair values of advances payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

Financial risk factors

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

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 cash. The Company does not believe it is currently exposed to any significant credit risk.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. These fluctuations may be significant.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when they come due. On April 30, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $355,402 and $15,000 in current liabilities to settle. The Company does not believe it is currently exposed to any significant liquidity risk.

(a) Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances held with financial institutions. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in short-term demand treasury bills issued by the Government of Canada and its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.

(b) Foreign currency risk

The Company is not currently exposed to significant foreign currency risk as most transactions are denominated in Canadian dollars.

(c) Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Changes in commodity prices will impact the economics of development of the Company’s mineral properties. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.
