Sarama Resources Ltd An Exploration Stage Company Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Expressed in United States Dollars unless otherwise stated

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Sarama Resources Ltd (the “ Company ”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada on April 8, 2010.

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in United States Dollars.

The board of directors of the Company have approved these condensed interim consolidated financial statements on November 14, 2022.

Business Activities

The consolidated entity, consisting of Sarama Resources Ltd. and its subsidiaries is in the exploration stage and its principal business activity is the sourcing and exploration of mineral properties. As at September 30, 2022, the Company is in the process of exploring its principal mineral properties and has not yet determined whether the properties contain gold reserves that are economically recoverable.

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022, comprise the accounts of Sarama Resources Ltd and its subsidiaries and the Company’s interest in equity accounted investments.

Basis of Presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“ IASB ”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“ IFRIC ”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “ Interim Financial Reporting” , and have been prepared following the same accounting policies as the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 except as described in Note 2.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Going Concern

For the period ended September 30, 2022, the consolidated entity recorded a net loss of $3,649,134 and had a net cash outflow from operating and investing activities of $4,363,630. As at September 30, 2022, the consolidated entity had available cash of $1,513,134 and a surplus of current assets over current liabilities of $1,179,441.

The Directors have assessed the need to acquire additional funding to continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The Directors believe such funding will be obtained and therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial report on a going concern basis, which assumes the realisation of the consolidated entity’s assets and the discharge of its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Should additional funding be unable to be obtained, the Directors believe that the Company can remain a going concern by the further reduction of various operating expenditure. However, these circumstances indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Standards and Interpretations applicable to September 30, 2022

In the period ended September 30, 2022, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the consolidated entity and, therefore, no material change is necessary to the consolidated entity’s accounting policies.

b) Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the period ended 30 September 2022. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the consolidated entity and, therefore, no change is necessary to the consolidated entity’s accounting policies.

c) Basis of Consolidation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the Company as at September 30, 2022 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

d) Foreign Currency Translation
(i) Functional and Presentation Currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“ the functional currency ”). The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“ USD ”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and Balances

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into USD at the exchange rate in effect on the statement of financial position date while non-monetary assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses are translated using exchange rates in effect at the time of each transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented separately in profit or loss for the financial year.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair-value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

(iii) Functional Currency

The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet,
income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income (loss) are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case, income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

e) Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents are classified as current assets and include short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. The Company places the majority of its cash holdings with an Australian financial institution which has a high credit rating.

Non-derivative financial assets and liabilities

The Company has the following non-derivative financial assets and liabilities:

i. Receivables Receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are initially recognised at fair value, less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
ii. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
iii. Amounts payable and other accrued liabilities

Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, net of any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method if significant.

f) Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Mineral exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred based upon each area of interest. Acquisition costs will normally be expensed but will be assessed on a case by case basis and if appropriate may be capitalised. These acquisition costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development or sale of the tenement. Accumulated acquisition costs in relation to an abandoned tenement are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the tenement is made. Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, all future costs are recorded as a development asset.

g) Stock-based Compensation

The fair value of share purchase options or warrants granted is determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model using estimates for the volatility of the trading price of the Company’s stock, the expected lives of share purchase options awarded, the fair value of the Company’s shares and the risk-free interest rate.

For employees, the fair value of the options is measured at the date of the grant. For non-employees, the fair value of the options is measured on the earlier of the date on which the counterparty performance is complete or the date the performance commitment is reached or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable. The estimated fair value of awards of share purchase options is charged to expense over the vesting period, with offsetting amounts to equity. If the share purchase options are granted for past services, they are expensed immediately. If the share purchase options are forfeited prior to vesting, no amounts are charged to expense. If share purchase options are exercised, then the fair value of the options is reclassed from stock-based compensation reserve to share capital.

At each reporting date, the amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share purchase options or warrants that are expected to vest. The corresponding entry is recognised in the stock-based compensation reserve.

h) Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the result attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share does not adjust the profit attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.

i) Share Warrants

In accordance with IFRS, an obligation to issue shares for a price that is not fixed in the Company’s functional currency, and that does not qualify as a rights offering, must be classified as a derivative liability and measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with the requirements of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The financial liability will be accounted for at fair value through profit or loss until such time that the warrants are exercised or lapse, at which point the liability will be transferred to equity.

j) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

k) Critical Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty considered by management in preparing the financial statements is described below.

(i) Measurement of warrants and stock options

The Company determines the fair value of both warrants and options classified as liabilities at fair value through profit or loss using the Black-Scholes Model. Note 7 provides detailed information about the key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of warrants.

6. TERMINATION AGREEMENT – BARRICK

On May 14, 2019, the Company announced that it had executed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) with Acacia Mining plc (“Acacia”) that provides for the termination of the 2014 earn-in agreement between the two companies in respect of the South Houndé Project (or the “Project”) in south-western Burkina Faso. The Agreement provides for Sarama to resume operatorship and regain a 100% interest in the Project.

On November 18, 2019, the Company announced that it had renegotiated certain terms of the Agreement resulting in an immediate return to 100% ownership of the Project and the reduction of the trailing reimbursement payment. The Company agreed to waive certain closing conditions and, in return, Barrick TZ Ltd (“Barrick”), formerly Acacia, agreed to amend and reduce the total trailing reimbursement from $2 million to $1 million, payable 12 months from the date of the amendment.

On June 24, 2020, the Company announced that Barrick agreed to defer the $1 million payable on November 18, 2020 to January 15, 2022 inclusive of interest at an annual rate of 10%. On November 18, 2021, Barrick agreed to further defer the $1 million payable by an additional year to January 15, 2023 (“Maturity date”) inclusive of interest at an annual rate of 12.5% effective from November 18, 2021. The Company will be required to repay the liability, inclusive of accrued interest, if it completes any financing with gross proceeds of US$ 3.5 million or greater prior to the maturity date. Due to the Company completing its equity raising on April 22, 2022, in relation to its dual listing on the ASX, it paid Barrick $1,190,012 in May 2022.

Sarama Resources Ltd An Exploration Stage Company Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Expressed in United States Dollars unless otherwise stated

Grant Date January 16, 2020 (fully vested) June 24, 2020 (fully vested) January 14, 2021 (fully vested) January 19, 2022 (fully vested)	Pre Share Consolidation	Post Share Consolidation (i)

On January 19, 2022, the Company issued 2,721,665 options to directors, officers and employees of the company, vesting immediately and exercisable at C$0.20 and expiring 3 years after issue.

No options were exercised in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 (period ended September 30, 2021: Nil).

1,441,665 options expired in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 at a weighted average exercise price and life of C$0.18 and 3 years respectively (period ended September 30, 2021: 2,746,666 options expired at a weighted average exercise price and life of C$0.32 and 2.5 years respectively).

(i) Share Consolidation:

On October 7, 2020, Sarama implemented a consolidation of its issued and outstanding Shares on a 3 old for 1 new share basis (the “Share Consolidation”). No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Share Consolidation. The Consolidation was approved by the Board pursuant to the new Articles of the Company approved by shareholders at the Company’s annual and special general meeting held on September 17, 2020.

(d) Stock-Based Compensation
(i) Options

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, the expense incurred relating to stock-based compensation on the grant of options was $188,063 (September 30, 2021: $513,112). For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted stock options to its directors, officers, employees and consultants and estimated the stock-based compensation as follows:

Total options granted Exercise price Estimated fair value of compensation recognised Balance to be recognised over remaining vesting period Estimated fair value per option	January 19, 2022
	2,721,665 C$0.20 $188,063 $nil $0.08

The fair value of the stock-based compensation recognised in the accounts has been estimated using the BlackSchöles Option-Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

Share price of underlying security on date of grant Risk-free interest rate Expected dividend yield Expected stock price volatility Expected option life in years	January 19, 2022
	C$0.17 1.38% 0% 91.3% 3 years

The share price volatility is based on historical data and reflects the assumption that historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the option is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be indicative of exercise patterns that may occur.

(ii) Warrants

The Company has issued warrants as part of its capital raising and exploration programs. The details of all warrants still on issue are detailed below.

	9,030,183 907,918 $0.139

5,000,000 warrants were issued to Acacia on May 23, 2019 as part consideration of definitive agreement executed by the Company and Acacia on May 14, 2019, that provides for the termination of the 2014 earn-in agreement between the two companies in respect of the South Houndé Project. 2,500,000 warrants were issued at an exercise price of C$0.10 and 2,500,000 warrants were issued at an exercise price of C$0.20, expiring on May 23, 2024. Post Share Consolidation the warrants have been converted to 833,333 warrants at exercise price of C$0.30 and 833,333 warrants at exercise price of C$0.60, respectively.

The fair value of broker and acquisition warrants are recognised within share-based payments reserve, within the equity section of the financial statements, in accordance with IFRS 2.

The fair value of the warrants recognised in the financial statements has been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model at inception with the following assumptions:

Warrant issue Acquisition Warrants issued May 23, 2019 Broker Warrants issued April 22, 2022	Price of Security on issue date Risk – free interest rate Expected dividend yield Expected stock price volatility Remaining warrant life
	C$0.10 1.55% 0% 105% 20 months C$0.18 2.70% 0% 76% 31 months

No warrants expired in the period ended September 30, 2022 (period ended September 30, 2021: Nil)

The fair value of broker and acquisition warrants are recognised within share based payments reserve, within the equity section of the financial statements, in accordance with IFRS 2.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to financial risks through the normal course of its business operations. The key risks impacting the Company’s financial instruments are considered to be foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and equity price risk. The Company’s financial instruments exposed to these risks are cash and short-term deposits, receivables, trade payables and investments in foreign operations.

The executive management team monitors the financial instrument risk to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks on an ongoing basis. Where material, these risks are reported and reviewed by the board of directors.

(a) Fair Values

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured and recognised at fair value as at September 30, 2022 according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

(i) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities (level 1),
(ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (level 2), and
(iii) prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity) (level 3).
(b) Financial Instrument Risk Exposure

Foreign currency risk

The Company has international operations in West Africa, namely Burkina Faso, Mali and Liberia and an administrative office in Western Australia. The multiple locations expose the Company to foreign exchange risk as detailed below:

Canadian dollar (CAD) – primary source of Company funding and its corporate and regulatory costs.
Australian dollar (AUD) – administrative costs in Western Australia.
Euro and Communauté Financiére Africaine Francs (CFA) – funding of African operations.

Management’s policy is to actively manage foreign exchange risk. Management mitigates foreign exchange risk by continuously monitoring forecasts and spot prices of foreign currency and holding foreign currency based on expected future expenditure commitments.

9. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company consider the Board of Directors to be the chief decision maker.

The Company has one business segment, being the acquisition, exploration and potential development of mineral properties. The Company has operations in one geographic area, being Burkina Faso.

14. CONTINGENT LIABILITY: DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT WITH BARRICK TO REGAIN 100% OWNERSHIP OF SOUTH HOUNDE PROJECT

Key commercial terms to this Agreement that are considered a contingent liability are that Sarama will grant Barrick the right to commercial production-based payments consisting of:

US$1,000,000 on production of 10,000 oz gold;
US$1,000,000 on production of a further 5,000 oz gold;
royalty payments, capped at gold production of 1Moz Au, according to sliding-scale royalty rates of:
1.0% for gold price ≤US$1300/oz;
1.5% for gold prices >US$1300/oz and ≤US$1500/oz; and
2.0% for gold prices >US$1500/oz;

As the Company cannot be certain whether it will enter into commercial production, the obligation to pay commercial production-based payments to Barrick is not recorded in the financial statements and is presented as a contingent liability.

15. CONTINGENT LIABILITY: TAX ASSESSMENT – BURKINA FASO

The Company is subjected to a tri-annual taxation audit pursuant to Burkina Faso taxation laws and regulations. The Company’s most recent audit was undertaken in the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result of this audit, the Burkina Faso taxation authorities have identified several matters as potentially attracting additional tax liabilities which have not been accounted for by the Company. The Company disputes the basis for, or quantum of, the related tax claims and has commenced the process for this to be reviewed. The review process requires filing of dispute materials with the relevant government authorities which was filed on May 6, 2022. The Company has yet to receive any further communication since the filing. Should that review process resolve in an outcome considered unsatisfactory by the Company, the Company may challenge the outcome by commencing court proceedings in Burkina Faso. The Company considers that the above process is common in Burkina Faso and the Company has been through a similar process in its previous tri-annual audits. The Board has assessed the likely outcomes of the process and concluded that the likely outcome is not considered to be material to the Company’s financial position.
