Phenom Resources Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the nine months ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Phenom Resources Corp. (the “Company” or “Phenom Resources”) is in the business of the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties, and either joint venturing or developing these properties further or disposing of them when the evaluation is completed. The Company has an interest in properties located in Nevada and Arizona, USA. The Company is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The common shares of the Company trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “PHNM”. The Company’s corporate head office is located at 1100-1199 W. Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material. At August 31, 2023, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had a deficit of $20,372,222 (November 30, 2022 - $18,726,003) since inception, a working capital of $532,768 (November 30, 2022 –$137,432), and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These circumstances comprise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to explore its exploration property interests and to meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company.

Carlin Gold-Vanadium Property, Nevada
On September 22, 2017 the Company entered into an assignment agreement with America’s Gold Exploration Inc. (“AGEI”). Pursuant to the assignment agreement, AGEI assigned to the Company all of AGEI’s interest in an option agreement between AGEI and Golden Predator US Holding Corp. (“GPUS”) dated June 14, 2017 as amended September 12, 2017. The option agreement grants to Phenom Resources the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Carlin GoldVanadium Project (the “Property”) located in Elko Nevada.
During the year ended November 30, 2021, the Company amended the option agreement between AGEI and GPUS. The amendment focused on the extension of the Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) buy out. To compensate for the extension, the Company paid part of the remaining $1,910,000 earlier and was required to issue 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants within 3 business days of TSX Venture Exchange approval. Each warrant will be exercisable for one common share at a purchase price of CAD$0.75 per share for a period of five years from the date of issuance (issued on July 9, 2021). The value of $680,843 attributed to the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: share price - $0.83; exercise price - $0.75; risk-free rate – 0.96%; expected life – 5.0 years; expected volatility – 116%; and expected dividends – nil.
Phenom Resources Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the nine months ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

On January 17, 2019, the Company entered into an Access and Mineral Lease Agreement which increased mineral rights adjacent to the Carlin Gold-Vanadium property (referred to as the “Cole Creek Property”).

Phenom Resources Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the nine months ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
In addition, the Company is to incur an aggregate of US$100,000 in expenditures before January 19, 2022 (completed).

The lessor also owns or has rights to certain lands containing roads which the Company wishes to use for access to the Cole Creek Property and the Carlin Gold-Vanadium property. The Access and Mineral Lease Agreement grants to the Company the right to access such lands and roads for a payment of US$15,000 (paid) on signing and US$5,000 annually (paid) which will terminate at the Company’s start of development and mining operations. The Company has the right to terminate the lease portion of the agreement without termination of the road access portion of the agreement.
The Company signed a definitive offtake agreement with the private Japanese battery company, MK Plus Co, Ltd. (“MK Plus”). The Company will commit to providing 20% of its future Carlin Vanadium project concentrates to MK Plus at fair market value. In exchange for this commitment, MK Plus will issue the Company 5% of MK Plus’s issued and outstanding shares. As at August 31, 2023 the shares have not been issued.
