NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated - unaudited)

1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Robex Resources Inc. (the “Company”) is a Canadian mining company specializing in gold exploration and mining in West Africa. In Mali, the Company has been operating the Nampala mine since 2017 and holds five exploration permits in the south (Mininko, Kamasso, and Gladié) and west (Sanoula and Diangounté) of the country.

The Company also owns a portfolio of four operating permits (the “Kiniéro Project”) in the Republic of Guinea. These permits consist of a series of mining licenses (approximately 470 km[2] ) in the Siguiri Basin.

The address of the head office is 2875 Laurier Boulevard, D1-1000, Québec, Québec G1V 2M2, Canada.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles applicable to a going concern, under which it is assumed that assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the normal course of business. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management considers all available information for the subsequent period, which is at least 12 months from the balance sheet date.

As at March 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of $69.0 million, which includes the bridge loan maturing in June 2024. Under the terms of this bridge loan, the Company agreed to comply with certain conditions and financial ratios, which were not met as at March 31, 2024 (see Note 15 - Bridge loan).

As at the date of these financial statements, the Company and Taurus were working to negotiate the terms of the second part of the financing package described in Note 14, i.e., the project finance facility. While management has been successful in securing financing in the past and in extending the maturity of the bridge loan, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future, and there can be no assurance that such sources of financing or initiatives, such as securing another extension to the maturity of the bridge loan, finalizing the financing package or finding alternative sources of financing, will be available to the Company or that they will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to finance planned activities depends on management being able to obtain additional financing. If management is unable to obtain new financing, the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern, and the amounts realized for the assets may be less than those presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Management believes that the working capital at March 31, 2024 will not be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its obligations, commitments and anticipated expenditures until March 31, 2025 taking into account the current maturity of the bridge loan. Management was aware, at the time it made its assessment, of material uncertainties around events and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the Companyʼs ability to continue as a going concern, as defined in the preceding paragraph, and accordingly about the appropriateness of the Companyʼs use of applicable accounfing policies under the going concern assumption.

The consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments that would need to be made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, expenses and classifications in the statement of financial position in the event that the going concern assumption is not relevant and/or if Taurus decides to accelerate the repayment of the bridge loan and enforce its claim against the Company by exercising its securities. These adjustments could be material.

2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“accounting IFRS” or “IFRS”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting.”

The accounting policies followed in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes required for annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 30, 2024.

3 - MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES INFORMATION

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements

In January 2020, the IASB published Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements). The amendments are intended to clarify how an entity classifies its debt instruments and other financial liabilities with uncertain settlement dates as current or noncurrent in some circumstances.

On October 31, 2022, the IASB published amendments to Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (amendments to IAS 1). The Company has applied the Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current amendment to IAS 1 for the first time starting January 1, 2024.

The amendments specify that:

  • The classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on the rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period; - Classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability; and

  • Settlement includes transfers of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services that trigger the extinguishment of liabilities.

Application of the amendments to IAS 1 has resulted in a change in the Company’s accounting policy on classifying liabilities that may be settled in the Company’s own shares (for example, the derivative warrant liability) from non-current to current liabilities. Under the revised accounting policy, where a liability includes an option to convert consideration that can be settled by issuing common shares in the Company, the conversion option is taken into account in classifying the liability as current or non-current except where it is classified as a share component of a compound instrument. The derivative warrant liability was classified as a current liability as at March 31, 2024 because the conversion option can be exercised by the warrant holder at any time.

The amendments to IAS 1 had a retrospective impact on the comparative consolidated balance sheet, as the Company had warrants outstanding as at December 31, 2023. The amount of $607,406 ($1,340,850 as at December 31, 2023) was reclassified from a non-current liability to a current liability in its entirety.

The Companyʼs other liabilifies have not been affected by the amendments to IAS 1.

4 - ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

In preparing its consolidated financial statements, management makes several judgments, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The results in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are not necessarily representative of its results for a full fiscal year.

The significant estimates and assumptions that have the greatest impact on the recognition and measurement of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses used to prepare the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and presented in the notes to the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2023, with the exception of income tax and uncertain tax positions (see Note 18 - Contingencies and commitments).

5 - SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in the precious metals mining and exploration industry. The operating segments presented reflect the Company’s management structure and how the Company’s chief operating decision maker assesses business performance. For the Company’s mining operations, each mine is an operating segment, while for mining exploration, each geographical area constitutes an operating segment for financial reporting purposes.

The operating segments are described as follows:

  1. Mining – Nampala Mine: This segment includes all the operations in the gold production value chain for the Nampala mine, whether at the production site in Mali, in the refining operations in Switzerland or in administrative operations, regardless of country.

  2. Mining Exploration and Evaluation – Mining Properties in the Republic of Guinea: This segment includes all support operations for mining exploration and evaluation in Guinea.

  3. Mining Exploration and Evaluation – Mining Properties in Mali: This segment includes all support operations for mining exploration and evaluation in Mali.

  4. Corporate Management: This segment includes all other operations not directly connected to the first three segments.

The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments primarily based on operating income, as shown in the following tables.

(1) The calculation of hypothetical conversions excludes anti-dilutive warrants and options. Some warrants and options are anti-dilutive either because their exercise price is higher than the average market price of the Company’s common shares for each of the periods presented or because the impact of the conversion of these items on net income would cause diluted earnings per share to be higher than the basic earnings per share for each of these periods. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, 22,500,000[(2)] warrants and 1,246,021[(2)] options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share (no warrants and 600,000[(2)] options for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023).
