INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Running Fox Resource Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Running Fox Resource Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at November 30, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at November 30, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its 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 audits 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 Company 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 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company had no revenues, had negative cash flows from operations, and incurred a net loss of $78,979 during the year ended November 30, 2024 and, as of that date, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $22,986,375. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company'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 for the year ended November 30, 2024. 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. Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section of our report, we have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management's Discussion and Analysis, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
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, 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. If, based on the work we have performed, conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 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 International Financial Reporting Standards, 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 Company'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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company'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 Company'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 Company'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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern; and
- 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.
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.
3
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 therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter of 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 Henry Chow.

RUNNING FOX RESOURCE CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended November 30, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
- Nature of Operations
Running Fox Resource Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia on September 1, 1981. The Company is in the business of reviewing, optioning or acquiring suitable projects and developing those projects for eventual cash flow in Canada and the United States of America. The Company's head office is located at 8148 Carr Crescent, Arvada, Colorado, USA.
These consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future and that management does not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease trading, unless it has no realistic alternative but to do so. During the year ended November 30, 2024, the Company had no revenues, had negative cash flows from operations, and incurred a net loss of $78,979. As at November 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $22,986,375. The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing or maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors, and generating profitable operations in the future. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Such adjustments could be material.
- Basis of Preparation
(a) Statement of Compliance and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned inactive subsidiary, Running Fox (U.S.) Inc.
The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries subject to control by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company has the power to, directly or indirectly, govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Intercompany balances, transactions, and unrealized intercompany gains and losses are eliminated upon consolidation.
(c) Use of Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the period. These estimates are, by their nature, uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions, and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended November 30, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
- Basis of Preparation (continued)
(c) Use of Estimates and Judgments (continued)
Significant assumptions 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 assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the impairment of marketable securities and unrecognized deferred income tax assets.
Significant Judgements
The Company's policy for property and equipment requires judgment in determining whether the present value of future expected economic benefits exceeds capitalized costs. The policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future economic benefits related to its oil and gas interest. Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of capitalized cost is unlikely, the capitalized costs are written off to the consolidated statement of operations.
The assessment of the going concern assumption requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period.
(d) Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective
A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the year ended November 30, 2024, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
On April 9, 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") published a new standard, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.
IFRS 18 sets out presentation and base disclosure requirements for financial statements. The changes include the requirement to classify income and expenses into three new categories – operating, investing, and financing. Furthermore, operating expenses are presented directly on the face of the income statement – classified either by nature, by function, or using a mixed presentation. Expenses presented by function require more detailed disclosures about their nature.
IFRS 18 also provides enhanced guidance for aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements, introducing new disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures ("MPMs"), and eliminates classification options for interest and dividends in the statement of cash flows.
IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not opted for early adoption and is currently assessing the potential impact of this new standard.
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. Material Accounting Policy Information
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance, are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value to be cash equivalents.
(b) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of an item of property and equipment consists of the purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use.
Depreciation is computed using the declining balance method over the following estimated useful lives:
| Computer hardware | 45% |
|---|---|
| Equipment | 30% |
| Vehicles | 30% |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
The carrying amount of an item of property and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from derecognition is included in the consolidated statement of operations when the item is derecognized and is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item. The date of disposal is the date when the Company is no longer subject to the risks of and is no longer the beneficiary of the rewards of ownership. Where the asset is sold, the date of disposal coincides with the date the revenue from the sale of the asset is recognized.

- Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
(c) Share Capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and stock options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(d) Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used for the calculation of diluted loss per share, whereby all "in the money" stock options and share purchase warrants are assumed to have been exercised at the beginning of the period and the proceeds from their exercise are assumed to have been used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. When a loss is incurred during the period, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, as the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants is considered to be anti-dilutive.
(e) Financial Instruments
Classification and measurement – initial recognition
On initial recognition, all financial assets and liabilities are classified and recorded at fair value, net of attributable transaction costs, except for financial assets and liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL").
Classification and measurement – subsequent to initial recognition
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and liabilities depends on their classification and measurement basis.
Financial Assets
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, or fair value through profit or loss, depending on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets that do not meet the above conditions are classified as fair value through profit or loss.
The Company's cash is measured at amortized cost. The Company's marketable securities are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

For the Years Ended November 30, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
- Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
(e) Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are designated as either: (i) FVTPL; or (ii) other financial liabilities. All financial liabilities are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities at FVTPL. The classification determines the method by which the financial liabilities are carried on the consolidated statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified under other financial liabilities and carried on the consolidated statement of financial position at amortized cost.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and/or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statement of loss. The Company does not have any derivative financial assets and liabilities.
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the credit risk on the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the consolidated statement of operations, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
(f) Income Taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in the consolidated statement of operations. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the statement of financial position method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

- Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are comprised of common shares of publicly-traded companies, and are classified as fair value through profit or loss and measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized through the consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the marketable securities has been determined directly by reference to public price quotations in an active market.

- Financial Instruments and Risk Management
(a) Fair Values
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position as at November 30, 2024 as follows:
| Fair Value Measurements Using | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) $ | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $ | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $ | Carrying Amount $ | |
| Marketable securities | 80,326 | – | – | 80,326 |
The fair values of other financial instruments, which include cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
(b) Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

10. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
(c) Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
The Company has entities in Canada and the United States but operates primarily in Canada. Foreign exchange risk arises from purchase transactions as well as financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on its cash and marketable securities. As at November 30, 2024, the Company had minimal cash and approximately US$57,000 of marketable securities denominated in US dollars. A fluctuation of 5% in the foreign exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar would result in an increase or decrease in the Company's net income of approximately $4,000. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.
(d) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of 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 as it does not have any liabilities with variable rates.
(e) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising debt or equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.
(f) Market Risk
The Company's investments are in the form of publicly listed companies, of which the market values may fluctuate. As at November 30, 2024, a 10% increase or decrease in the price of the Company's marketable securities would result in an increase or decrease in the Company's net income (loss) of approximately $8,000.
