1 Nature of operations and going concern

Sama Resources Inc. ("Sama" or the "Company") is a Canadian-based mineral exploration and development business with activities in West Africa. The Company was incorporated on July 11, 2006 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. On May 13, 2013, the Company continued its jurisdiction of incorporation from British Columbia into the federal jurisdiction of Canada under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company's head office is located at #132 - 1320 Graham Blvd., Mont-Royal, Quebec, Canada, H3P 3C8. The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") under the trading symbol "SME.V".

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for publication by the audit committee on May 16, 2025, as delegated by the Board of directors.

The Company's main exploration and evaluation projects are located in the Republic of Ivory Coast ("Ivory Coast") West Africa, and hence are subject to the risks normally associated with foreign investment including unanticipated changes in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, foreign currency fluctuations and political uncertainties. The Company retains these risks through its investment in associate.

Going concern uncertainty

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. The use of these principles may not be appropriate. The Company is in its early stages, and as is common with similar companies, it raises financing for its exploration and evaluation activities. As at March 31, 2025, the Company has accumulated deficit of $31,410,170 (December 31, 2024 - $29,682,365) and a working capital of $1,396,712 (December 31, 2024 - $1,783,577), including cash and cash equivalents of $1,358,622 (December 31, 2024 - $1,658,359). To date, the Company has financed its cash requirements primarily by issuing common shares or units. These circumstances indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's ability to continue future operations and fund its operations is dependent on management's ability to secure additional financing in the future, which may be completed in a number of ways including, but not limited to, the issuance of equity instruments, expenditure reductions, or a combination of strategic partnerships, joint venture arrangements, partial or complete disposal of the investments in shares and/or associate and other capital market alternatives. If management is unable to obtain new funding, the Company may be unable to continue its operations, and amounts realized for assets might be less than amounts reflected in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2 Basis of presentation and material accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards") applicable to the preparation of interim statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

The accounting policies followed in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 which have been prepared according to IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Basis of measurement

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

Basis of consolidation

In addition to the Company, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all corporations over which the Company is able, directly or indirectly, to control financial and operating policies, which is the authority usually connected with holding majority voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is acquired by the Company. Inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation. They are deconsolidated from the date that control by the Company ceases. Any retained interest is measured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognized in income or loss. The fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate or joint venture.

The Company's subsidiaries are as follows:

Jurisdiction of incorporation % of ownership 2025 % of ownership 2024
Sama Resources Development Inc. ("SRDI") Cayman Islands 100% 100%
Sama Resources Liberia Inc. ("SRL") (a) Liberia -% 100%

(a) On February 17, 2025, the Company ceased its operation in Liberia.

Investment in associate

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture.

Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity but can also arise where the Company holds less than 20% if it has the power to be actively involved and influential in policy decision affecting the entity.

An investment in associate is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Company's share of net assets of the associate, less any impairment losses. Losses in an associate in excess of the Company's interest in that associate are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred a legal or constructive obligation to make payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized profits or losses on transactions between the Company and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest therein. Decreases in ownership arising from transactions occurring within the associate are accounted for as deemed disposals with ensuing dilution gains or losses recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

At the end of each reporting period, management considers whether there is any evidence of impairment in associates. When there is evidence that an investment in an associate is impaired, the carrying amount of such investment is compared to its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of an investment in associate is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss, being the excess of carrying amount over the recoverable amount, is recognized in the period of impairment. When an impairment loss reverses in a subsequent period, the carrying amount of the investment in associate is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had an impairment loss not been previously recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in the period the reversal occurs.

The Company have a 40% interest in Sama Nickel Corporation ("SNC") which is accounted for as an investment in associate (Note 5).

3 Non-controlling interest and deconsolidation of a subsidiary

The Company signed an earn-in and joint venture agreement with IVNE Ivory Coast Inc. or "IVNE", in order to advance its nickel-copper and cobalt projects in Ivory Coast, West Africa. Pursuant to the terms of the earn-in and joint venture agreement, IVNE could earn up to a 60% interest in the Ivory Coast Project by investing, before March 12, 2024, a total of $25,000,000 as follows:

  • Phase 1: Investments of $15,000,000 for a 30% interest;
  • Phase 2: Investments of $10,000,000 for an additional 30% interest.

Sama Resources Inc.
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024
(Unaudited - in Canadian dollars)

In 2021, IVNE completed phase 1 of the earn-in and joint venture agreement and therefore owned a 30% interest in SNC. At the time, the Company assessed its investment in SNC and judged that it still had control over SNC as defined by IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. Therefore, the Company continued to consolidate the financial results of SNC in its consolidated financial statements.

On March 12, 2024, IVNE completed phase 2 of the earn-in and joint venture agreement and therefore acquired an additional 30% interest. Management determined that it lost control over SNC and now accounts for its retained investment in SNC as an associate using the equity method. The Company recognized its retained investment at fair value on the date of loss of control which was evaluated at $16,000,000. A gain resulting from loss of control of a subsidiary of $15,713,956 and an equity investment in SNC of $16,000,000 were recognized.

The carrying value of SNC's net assets deconsolidated and the gain resulting from loss of control of a subsidiary as at March 12, 2024 were determined as follows:

$
Cash and cash equivalents 528,114
Trade and other amounts receivable 21,057
Sales taxes receivable 275,121
Prepaid expenses and deposits 77,358
Property, plant and equipment 609,295
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (1,102,310)
408,635
Non-controlling interest (122,591)
Net assets deconsolidated 286,044
Fair value of the investment in SNC (Note 5) 16,000,000
Gain resulting from loss of control of a subsidiary 15,713,956

Fair value evaluation

As indicated above, the gain resulting from the loss of control over SNC and the initial carrying amount of the retained interest therein were measured based on the estimated fair value of the retained interest. As SNC is a privately held entity still in the exploration and evaluation stage, significant judgment was involved in the determination of the most appropriate fair value valuation technique to use in estimating the fair value as of the date of loss of control. In addition to the retained valuation technique described below, the two other valuation techniques that were considered and not retained are the cost approach and the market approach method using selected comparable companies. Management used external experts in order to assist in this determination.

To estimate this fair value, the valuation technique retained by management is to the effect of subtracting the aggregate of the Company's net assets other than the retained investment in SNC, namely the fair value of investments in shares, cash and cash equivalents and the other assets, from the market capitalization of the Company as at the date of loss of control. Management has also concluded that this fair value estimate is a Level 2 fair value estimate under the IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement hierarchy as the unobservable inputs used in this valuation technique do not have a significant effect on the entire measurement.
