Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

PPX Mining Corp.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

PPX Mining Corp. (“PPX Mining” or the “Company”) is a publicly listed company incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on July 28, 1987; the Company’s shares are traded on the Toronto Venture Exchange (the “TSX Venture Exchange”), and the Lima Stock Exchange (Bolsa De Valores De Lima). Following a number of name changes the Company became Peruvian Precious Metals Corp. on July 2, 2013 and then PPX Mining Corp. on August 4, 2016. The head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located at 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5C 1P1.

The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties, and either joint venturing or developing these properties further or disposing of them when the evaluation is completed. As its principal business, the Company acquires and explores mineral properties in areas deemed to have relatively high potential for mining success. The Company’s business plan is to engage in these mining activities on a long-term basis.

To maintain positive cash flow, the Company must rely on debt or equity financings, as well as proceeds from net profit interest received from the assignment of the Igor 4 concession to fund its operations. To date the Company’s main source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities and debt, through private placements within sophisticated investors and through public offerings to institutional investors.

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has accumulated a deficit of $69,559,823 as at June 30, 2023. As at June 30, 2023 the Company has cash of $1,532,533 and a positive working capital of $724,078.

The Company needs to raise funds in order to continue on as a going concern and there can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to cover its required funding or develop its mineral properties and / or cover general and administrative expenses necessary for the maintenance of a public company. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future depends in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions and mineral property exploration success. The Company’s business may be affected by changes in political and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, changes in laws, and national and international circumstances. Recent geopolitical events, including the current political situation in Peru, relations between NATO and the Russian Federation regarding the conflict in Ukraine and potential economic global challenges, such as the risk of higher inflation and energy crises, may create further uncertainty and risk with respect to the prospects of the Company’s business. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the consolidated financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of Compliance

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2022, except as noted below under changes in accounting policies. The Interim Financial Statements do not contain all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the 2022 annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. The Interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 25, 2023.

PPX Mining Corp.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value, as set out in the accounting policies in note 3 of the 2022 annual consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended September 30, 2022.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company has adopted the following new standards, along with any consequential amendments, effective October 1, 2022. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions. The adoption of the new standards and consequential amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment

With the amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, proceeds from selling items before the related item of property, plant and equipment is available for use should be recognized in profit or loss, together with the costs of producing those items. The Company will therefore need to distinguish between the costs associated with producing and selling items before the item of property, plant and equipment (pre-production revenue) is available for use and the costs associated with making the item of property, plant and equipment available for its intended use. For the sale of items that are not part of a Company’s ordinary activities, the amendments will require the Company to disclose separately the sales proceeds and related production cost recognized in profit or loss and specify the line items in which such proceeds and costs are included in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). These amendments will have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)

The amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)

The amendments to IAS1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets

The Company, through its subsidiary Sienna Minerals S.A.C., has a 100% interest in the Igor Project, located in Northern Peru. The Igor Project totals approximately 1,300 hectares on four concessions. The production from the Igor 4 concessions is subject to the requirements of a gold streaming facility as disclosed in note 9(a).

On December 4, 2018 the Company filed a pre-feasibility study (‘PFS”) for the 100% owned Igor 4 concession in Peru, which established proven and probable reserves.

During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines issued a notice that the Company’s environmental license at the Igor 1 and 3 exploration projects had expired. During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s water use permit had expired. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the exploration license at the Igor 4 exploration project expired. As of June 30, 2023, the exploitation license remains in good standing as the Company has obtained an extension. Management is in the process of having these expired licenses and permits reinstated.

The Company’s spending in the Igor concession for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

6. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS AND PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

The Company earned net profit interest income of $4,800,299 and $7,396,170, respectively (three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 – $5,271,157 and $6,540,577, respectively) on the Igor 4 concession during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023. $4,809,932 and $7,130,222, respectively (three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 – $nil) of the net profit interest from PLP was recorded as net profit interest income in the statement of income (loss) during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023.

a) Agreement with Patagonia

The Company entered into a commercial agreement with Patagonia, a Peruvian mining contractor, whereby the Company granted to Patagonia a right to mine the Igor 4 concession for certain number of years. During the term of the agreement, the Company and Patagonia share the net profits from the mining operation in the Igor 4 concession, at a ratio of 70%/30% respectively and 75%/25% once the Company builds a processing plant to treat the ore of this concession. Currently, the Company is in discussion with Patagonia to amend certain sections of the agreement that allow different interpretations.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company has recorded a portion of the net profit interest from the Igor 4 operation. This portion corresponds to all the net profit interest that is collected or considered collectible with reasonable certainty during the current fiscal year. The remaining balance has not been accrued given the lack of information to quantify such amount and the uncertainties with its collectability.

Patagonia is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and licenses to carry out mining operations on the Igor 4 concession in order to reach certain production milestones. The Company is responsible for building and installing a processing plant with a capacity of at least 150 MTPD and to be expanded to 350 MTPD, while Patagonia has the responsibility to maintain certain operating costs levels.

The Company can terminate the assignment agreement at any time subject to payments to Patagonia as follows:

  • if terminated before November 1, 2019, US$4,000,000 less US$5 multiplied by the tons of ore extracted;

The assignment agreement represents a joint operation as defined in IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, and as such the Company recognizes its assets, liabilities, and its share of revenues and expenses from the operation. As the Company’s Igor 4 project remains in exploration stage and has not reached commercial production based on criterias established in the 2018 pre-feasibility study, the net profit interest income received during the six months ended June 30, 2023 had been recorded as net profit interest income of $7,130,222.

b) Community Agreements

On February 14, 2018, the Company signed a ten-year agreement with the community of Callanquitas in Northern Peru that provides the Company with the Social License to conduct mining and exploration activities at the Igor Project, including the ongoing test-mining and bulk-sampling program at Igor 4 concession. The agreement provides for employment opportunities for the people of Callanquitas, improved road maintenance in the vicinity of the community, and infrastructure improvements to the local elementary school.

On November 20, 2018, the Company signed an agreement with the Igor community in Northern Peru that provides the Company with the Social License to build and operate the heap leach facility for processing of the ore from the Igor 4 concession. The agreement provides for employment opportunities for the people of the Igor community, improved road maintenance in the vicinity of the community, and infrastructure improvements to local schools and medical facility.

Based on the current stage of exploration and development, the Company is in the process of putting together a plan for these commitments and it is not yet quantifiable.

9. LONG TERM DEBT (continued)

  • a) Gold Stream Facility (continued)

The Company received the first tranche of US$2.5 million on October 11, 2016 and the second tranche on December 13, 2017 (total net proceeds of US$4.550 million ($5,907,855), net of US$225,000 finder and restructuring fees for each tranche). The Company incurred total transaction costs of $875,940 in relation to the gold stream facility, including $584,833 (US$450,000) for the finder and restructuring fees; $288,113 and $587,827 of the transaction costs were incurred respectively, during the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company paid to RIVI in cash $nil of interest related to the Facility (three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 – $nil). During the year ended September 30, 2021, the accrued interest was reduced by $637,000 (US$500,000) as a result of the NSR agreement with RIVI.

The Facility was classified as a financial liability at FVTPL and is revalued at its fair value on each subsequent reporting date with the changes in the fair value recorded in profit or loss. Due to the uncertainty of the total expected ounces to be delivered and the timing of cash flows, the Facility is currently recorded at its face value with the derivative measured at a nominal value.

The first tranche payment was subject to interest of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in US$ and accruing on daily balances until the end of the third month after certain production milestones were met. The amended agreement signed on November 21, 2017 (the “Amended Agreement”) provides for interest at 12%, payable quarterly in US$ and accruing daily on the full amount of the investment of US$5 million, until a contractual production threshold at Igor 4 has been meet. Such threshold was met during fiscal 2022.

The amended agreement provides that until equivalent dollar amount of 20,000 GEOs have been delivered to RIVI, the GEOs will include:

  • all production from the Igor 4 concession and any other sources from the first 700 tons of ore processed at the Company’s plant in any given day;

  • production from only Igor 4 for any production above the 700 tons of ore processed in any given day and after 20,000 GEOs have been delivered to RIVI.

The principal balance of US$5 million is reduced as the GEOs are delivered to RIVI. The amount of reduction for each period is determined based on the GEOs from the Igor 4 pre-production, multiplied by the difference between the market price of gold and the lesser of US$400 or 80% the market price of gold. The face value of the gold stream facility at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was $nil and US$4,293,502, respectively. Upon expiry of the term which is the earlier of 40 years and depletion of the mine, any balance remaining unpaid shall be refunded to RIVI.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company paid to RIVI $892,814 and $1,028,240, respectively (three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 – $nil) related to GEOs produced. Short term portion of the stream facility at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 of $nil (US$nil) and $5,885,103 (US$4,293,502), respectively, relates to amounts due to RIVI for GEOs produced and not yet paid until that respective date.

During the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company accrued an additional amount of $1,845,115 (US$1,393,591) related to GEOs produced on top of its principal portion of the stream facility, which resulted in a gold streaming expense of $1,747,534 (US$1,393,591). Gold stream facility as at June 30, 2023 include GEOs produced on top of its principal portion of the stream facility of $838,093 (September 30, 2022 - $1,516,603).

Seventy-two months after the Monthly Production Milestone has been met, or when 20,000 GEOs have been delivered under the Gold Stream Agreement (whichever occurs first), the Company has the option to reduce RIVI’s entitlement to 5% of the GEOs produced on the Igor 4 concession by making a one-time payment of US$5 million to RIVI, subject to the price of gold being greater than US$1,200 per ounce. These conditions have not yet been met as at June 30, 2023.

9. LONG TERM DEBT (continued)

a) Gold Stream Facility (continued)

The Company granted RIVI a first and preferred mining tenements mortgage of US$5 million on the Igor concession and surface land and general security interest (the “Security”) over all of the present and after-acquired assets within the property. The Security provided to RIVI will cease once the Company has fully paid the US$5 million investment by RIVI.

On April 30, 2021, the Company signed a Net Smelter Royalty Agreement with RIVI, whereby RIVI is granted an option to acquire a royalty equal to 2% of Net Smelter Returns (“NSR”) over the Igor, Igor 3 and Igor 4 concessions, in exchange for reducing US$500,000 of the amounts owed to RIVI by the Company. In addition, the Company has the option to repurchase 1% of the NSR royalty for US$750,000 until October 21, 2021. The US$500,000 reduction in the amounts owed to RIVI by the Company has been recorded to reduce the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets and to reduce the accrued interest. Notwithstanding the obligation of Sienna Minerals S.A.C. ("Sienna") under the NSR agreement, RIVI agrees to waive all accrued interest due to Sienna until December 31, 2022 totaling US$78,841. On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement with RIVI, whereby the Net Smelter Royalty Agreement was amended such that the royalty obligation thereunder shall not commence (and none shall be deemed to have accrued) until January 1, 2023, in consideration for US$540,000 payable to RIVI by the Company. From and after January 1, 2023, the royalty obligations shall commence in accordance with the terms of the Net Smelter Royalty Agreement. In addition, the option to repurchase 1% of the NSR royalty is extended in perpetuity at the same price, US$750,000, but limited to the Igor and Igor 3 concessions. The Igor 4 concession in which the Callanquitas mine is located is excluded from this repurchase extension.

On February 19, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated gold and silver purchase agreement (the "Amended and Restated GPA") with RIVI Opportunity Fund LP ("RIVI"), whereby the Company and RIVI have agreed, subject to receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval, to restructure the Company's streaming and payment obligations under the original gold and silver purchase agreement dated October 10, 2016 between the Company and RIVI, as amended (the "Original GPA").

The Amended and Restated GPA provides for the following material changes to the Original GPA:

  • Convertible Debenture The due and outstanding balance of US$5,399,946 owing to RIVI under the Original GPA as at September 30, 2022 will be entirely satisfied by the issuance by the Company of a secured convertible debenture to RIVI for this amount (the “Convertible Debenture”). The Convertible Debenture will mature on the third anniversary of the date of issue and bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, payable semi annually. RIVI may convert all or any part of the principal amount outstanding into common shares of the Company (the “Shares”), at a conversion price of US$0.04 per Share (subject to adjustment), subject to a restriction on any conversion which would result in RIVI owning, on a post-conversion basis, more than 19.9% of the outstanding Shares with the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Principal Amount without penalty. The obligations under the Convertible Debenture will be secured by the same security package granted under the Original GPA (and which continue under the Amended and Restated GPA).

 Removal of Default NSR Royalty Provisions

  • In the Amended and Restated GPA, all default provisions under the Original GPA that would have required the Company to grant to RIVI a net smelter returns royalty were eliminated (including any net smelter returns royalties that RIVI may have earned, but not granted, prior to the entering into of the Amended and Restated GPA).

a) Gold Stream Facility (continued)

 Restructuring of Stream Obligations

  • The Original GPA contemplated monthly delivery obligations to RIVI equal to 10% of the gold equivalent ounces produced in its Callanquitas Mine (the “Stream Percentage”), currently operated by Proyectos La Patagonia S.A.C. (“PLP”) and subject to certain production milestones. Even though the Amended and Restated GPA continues to accrue gold equivalent ounces under the same Stream Percentage, the maximum delivery obligation is linked to 30% of the monthly collected net profit interest attributable to the Company from PLP (the “NPI”), rather than the number of gold equivalent ounces produced in the Callanquitas mine. Any refined metals required to be delivered in excess of the monthly maximum will accrue in a stream account (with interest at 2.00% per month) until repaid in full. When the Company receives an annual bulk payment from PLP, it must use up to 40% of such payment to satisfy any accrued stream obligations and interest.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain on debt settlement of $187,696 (three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 – $nil).

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company's commitments are disclosed in note 6 and summarized below:

The Company has entered into a ten-year community agreement, whereby the Company has committed to provide employment opportunities for the people of Callanquitas community in Peru in the vicinity of the Company’s Igor 4 concession, improved road maintenance and infrastructure improvements to the local elementary school, in exchange for the Social License to conduct mining and exploration activities at the Igor Project.

On November 20, 2018, the Company signed an agreement with the Igor community in Northern Peru that provides the Company with the Social License to build and operate the heap leach facility for processing of the ore from the Igor 4 concession. The agreement provides for employment opportunities for the people of the Igor community, improved road maintenance in the vicinity of the community, and infrastructure improvements to local schools and medical facility.

The Company had contracted the services of Big Rock Consulting Inc. (“BRC”) for the manufacturing of certain equipment for the Company’s heap leach plant for US$1,913,250. To June 30, 2023, the Company has advanced $986,167 (US$739,311) to BRC with the rest of the contracted amount to be paid by the time the equipment is delivered. An impairment charge of $629,190 (US$467,572) was recorded for the year ended September 30, 2020, as certain equipment paid for in advance are no longer available to the Company. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the remaining advance of $343,532 (US$271,739) was also written off. Based on new test work performed in Canada, the Company will no longer proceed with BRC on the construction of the heap leach facility. Instead, the Company is pursuing the construction of a CIL processing plant that will allow a material increase in gold recoveries.

In addition, the Company had undiscounted environmental closure obligations (note 11) for remediation and rehabilitation work on the Company’s Igor properties with estimated total obligations at June 30, 2023 of $733,848 (US$554,266).

During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company was notified of a claim filed by Patagonia against the Company, for damages as a result of incomplete construction of the processing plant. Management has performed its own analysis and has concluded that no significant damages has occurred as a consequence of the plant not having been built. Therefore, management believes PPX Mining has valid arguments to defend against the claim and as a result no amounts have been recorded for this claim as at June 30, 2023. Patagonia continues to operate the Igor 4 project and the Company is in active discussions and negotiations with Patagonia to clarify certain terms and a possible extension to their operating agreement.
