Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of Rex Resources Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Rex Resources Corp. (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and the consolidated statements of changes in equity, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements which describes the material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Other than the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
- Management's Discussion and Analysis
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained the other information prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Our responsibilities are to plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Kevin Kwan.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Rex Resources Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on July 29, 2020. On June 2, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) on June 4, 2021 under the trading symbol “OWN”. The Company is primarily engaged in mineral exploration activities in British Columbia, Canada. The head office and the principal address of the Company are located at 1570 – 505 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V7X 1M5.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a net loss of $331,421 (2023 - $784,117), and as of that date, an accumulated deficit of $1,659,144 (2023 - $1,327,723), had not advanced its mineral properties to commercial production, and is not able to finance day to day activities through operations. As at September 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $196,233 (2023 - working capital deficiency of $167,074). The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon results from its mineral property exploration activities, its ability to attain profitable operations, generate funds from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations and ongoing operating losses. 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. Geopolitical events and potential economic global challenges such as the risk of the higher inflation and energy crises, may create further uncertainty and risk with respect to the prospects of the Company’s business. These uncertainties may cast a significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with its proceeds from its initial public offering of its shares, loans from directors and companies controlled by directors and/or additional private placement of common shares. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. Such adjustments could be material.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These statements are presented in Canadian Dollars, which is the Company’s and its subsidiary’s functional currency.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on January 28, 2025.
REX RESOURCES CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1414447 B.C. Ltd. Control occurs when the Company is exposed to, or has the right to, variable returns from its involvement with an investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statement presentation. The Company owns 100% (2023 – 100%) of 1414447 B.C. Ltd., which is the registered tenure holder of the Company’s mineral interests in its Rex Property.
Significant estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgments concerning the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Significant estimates and judgments about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from estimates and judgments made, relate to, but are not limited to the following:
Ability to continue as a going-concern
Management assesses the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern at each reporting date, using all quantitative and qualitative information available. This assessment, by its nature, relies on estimates of future cash flows and other future events (as discussed in Note 1), whose subsequent changes could materially impact the validity of such an assessment.
Recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets
Assets or cash-generating units (“CGUs”) are evaluated at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. The Company considers both internal and external sources of information when making the assessment of whether there are indications of impairment for the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets.
Significant judgment is required when determining whether facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets may exceed its recoverable amount. The retention of regulatory permits and licenses, the Company’s ability to obtain financing for exploration and development activities and its future plans on the exploration and evaluation assets, current and future metal prices, and market sentiment are all factors considered by the Company.
In respect of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position, management has determined that it continues to be appropriately recorded as there are future exploration plans and there are no indications that the value of the assets have declined more than its carrying amount.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Exploration and evaluation assets
The Company may hold interests in mineral property interests in various forms, including prospecting licenses, exploration and exploitation concessions, mineral leases and surface rights, and property options. The Company capitalizes payments made in the process of acquiring legal title to these properties. Given the uncertainties surrounding the fair value of the Company's mineral properties, share-based acquisition payments were valued at the fair value of the instruments issued. Exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred on properties prior to obtaining legal rights to explore the specific area are charged to operations as incurred.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if:
(i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and
(ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Facts and circumstances as defined in IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, are as follows:
- the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;
- substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;
- exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; and
- sufficient data exists to indicate that, although development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the asset's cash-generating unit, which is the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. Each of the Company's exploration and evaluation assets is considered to be a cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is reversed if there is indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Government assistance
The Company is eligible for refundable tax credits on qualified resource expenditures incurred in the province of British Columbia, other than flow-through shares financings. This credit is recorded as a government grant against exploration and evaluation assets when there is reasonable assurance that the amounts claimed qualify and the amounts will be received. If the exploration and evaluation assets were previously impaired, this credit is recorded in property investigation expense (recovery).

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Restoration and environmental obligations
The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-term assets, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future restoration cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized to the related asset along with a corresponding increase in the restoration provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value.
The Company’s estimates of restoration costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to the related asset with a corresponding entry to the restoration provision. The Company’s estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates. At this stage, the Company’s potential obligations for restoration and environmental costs are determined to be immaterial.
Share-based payments
The Company may grant stock options to buy common shares of the Company through a stock option plan. The Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to reserves. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. Expected volatility in the Black-Scholes option pricing model was based on the historical stock price of the Company.
The Company may grant stock options that are subject to various vesting terms. Under IFRS, the fair value of each instalment of the award is considered a separate grant based on the vesting period with the fair value of each instalment determined separately and recognized as compensation expense over the term of its respective vesting period. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in reserves until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in reserves is credited to share capital along with any consideration paid. Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. On expiration of options, the previously recognized amount is left in the reserves.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial instruments
The Company recognizes a financial asset or liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset is initially measured at fair value and in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") or FVTPL. A financial liability is initially measured at fair value less transaction cost directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. Subsequently, the financial liability is measured at amortized cost based on the effective interest rate method. The Company's cash is measured at FVTPL and amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Flow-through shares and units
The Company may from time-to-time issue flow-through common shares and units to finance a significant portion of its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. At the time of closing a financing involving flow-through shares, the Company allocates proceeds received first to common shares based on the market trading price of the common shares at the time the flow-through shares are issued, and any excess is allocated to flow-through premium liability.
At the time of closing a financing involving flow-through units consisting of common shares and warrants, the Company allocates proceeds received as follows: (i) share capital – the market trading price of the common share; (ii) flow-through share premium – equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability; and (iii) warrant reserve – any excess.
Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability and credits other income when the entity renounces the tax benefits to the shareholders. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of flow-through shares reduce the flow-through liability on a pro-rata basis.
Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a two-year period. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expended at the end of the Company's period is disclosed separately as flow-through expenditure commitments. The Company is also subject to a Part XII.6 tax on unspent flow-through proceeds, renounced under the Look-back Rule, in accordance with Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.
Share capital
Agent's warrants issued as purchase consideration in non-monetary transactions are recorded at fair value determined by management using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the shares issued as consideration for exploration and evaluation assets is based on the trading price of those shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date of issuance of shares as determined by the Board of Directors. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued using the residual method whereby proceeds are allocated first to common shares based on the market value of the common shares at the time the units are issued, and any excess is allocated to warrants.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
New accounting standards adopted during the year
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies
These amendments continue the IASB’s clarifications on applying the concept of materiality. These amendments help companies provide useful accounting policy disclosures, and they include: requiring companies to disclose their material accounting policies instead of their significant accounting policies; clarifying that accounting policies related to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions are themselves immaterial and do not need to be disclosed; and clarifying that not all accounting policies that relate to material transactions, other events or conditions are themselves material. The IASB also amended IFRS Practice Statement 2 to include guidance and examples on applying materiality to accounting policy disclosures.
These amendments are adopted by the Company effective October 1, 2023. The adoption of the amendments reduced the Company’s disclosure of its accounting policies.
New accounting standards issued but not yet effective
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
IFRS 18 introduces three sets of new requirements to give investors more transparent and comparable information about companies’ financial performance for better investment decisions.
- Three defined categories for income and expenses - operating, investing and financing - to improve the structure of the income statement, and require all companies to provide new defined subtotals, including operating profit.
- Requirement for companies to disclose explanations of management-defined performance measures (MPMs) that are related to the income statement.
- Enhanced guidance on how to organize information and whether to provide it in the primary financial statements or in the notes.
This new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company will be evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Rex Property
On June 19, 2023, the Company closed an acquisition transaction to acquire for all the issued and outstanding shares of 1414447 B.C. Ltd., an arm's length private B.C. company that holds an undivided 100% interest in eight contiguous mineral claims located near Port Alberni, British Columbia, generally known as the Rex Property.
The Company acquired 1414447 B.C. Ltd. for the sole purpose of acquiring the Rex Property. Based on the number of shares acquired and the Company's decision making power, the Company was determined to be the acquirer. The acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition because 1414447 B.C. Ltd. did not meet the definition of a business. Upon closing of the transaction, 1414447 B.C. Ltd. became a subsidiary of the Company. The total consideration paid totaled $275,000 and has been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values on June 19, 2023 as follows:
| Total $ | ||
|---|---|---|
| Consideration: | Shares issued | 100,000 |
| Deferred cash payable included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 115,000 | |
| Cash paid | 60,000 | |
| Rex Property | 1 | |
| Allocated: | Accounts payable | (1) |
| Excess allocated to the Rex Property | 275,000 |
During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares with a fair market value price of $0.10 per share. The deferred cash payable of $115,000 was due on December 18, 2023. As at September 30, 2024, the Company has paid $50,000 of the deferred cash payable. The remaining $65,000 deferred cash payable was paid subsequent to the year end.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
7. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
- Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Company's financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair values of the Company's financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values due to the short-term maturity nature of the financial instruments. The Company's cash is measured using level 1 inputs. There are no financial instruments measured using levels 2 or 3 inputs.
Management of financial risk
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which include the following:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the counterparty's inability to meet its obligations. The Company's exposure to credit risk is on its cash and amounts receivable. Risk associated with cash is managed through the use of major banks which are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies. Amounts receivable are due from the Canada Revenue Agency which management believes there to be a low risk of default. The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations when they become due. The Company will require financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors to generate sufficient capital to meet its short term operating requirements. The Company's cash is held in corporate bank accounts available on demand. The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within 90 days of September 30, 2024. Liquidity risk has been assessed as high.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk.
Currency risk
The Company may be exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency. As at September 30, 2024, the Company did not have any accounts in foreign currencies and considers foreign currency risk insignificant.
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 is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices. Price risk as it relates to the Company is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's ability to raise financing due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company closely monitors individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

7. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
Capital management
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of components of shareholders' equity. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period. The Company is actively looking to acquire an interest in a business or assets, and this involves a high degree of risk. The Company has not determined whether it will be successful in its endeavors and does not generate cash flows from operations. The Company's primary source of funds comes from the issuance of common shares. The Company does not use other sources of financing that require fixed payments of interest and principal due to lack of cash flow from current operations and is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Capital requirements are driven by the Company's general operations. To effectively manage the Company's capital requirements, the Company monitors expenses and overhead to ensure costs and commitments are being paid. The Company will require financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors to generate sufficient capital to meet its short term operating requirements. There have been no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended September 30, 2024.
