Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Expressed in United States Dollars unless otherwise stated

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Sarama Resources Ltd (the “Company” or “Sarama”) was incorporated on April 8, 2010, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s address is Unit 8, 245 Churchill Avenue, Subiaco, Western Australia, Australia 6008. The Company’s registered office address is Suite 2200, HSBC Building, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver BC, Canada, V6C 3E8. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “SWA” and on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) under the symbol “SRR”.

ASX uses an electronic system called CHESS for the clearance and settlement of trades on ASX. The Company is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, and the requirements of British Columbia law are such that registered shareholders have the right to receive a stock certificate, with such requirement not permitting the CHESS system of holding uncertificated securities. Accordingly, to enable companies such as the Company to have their securities cleared and settled electronically through CHESS, depository instruments called CDIs are issued. CDIs represent the beneficial interest in the underlying shares in a foreign company such as the Company and are traded in a manner similar to shares of Australian companies listed on ASX. Each CDI is equivalent to one Share.

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 May 15, 2026.

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 March 31, 2026, 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2026, 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 IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Going Concern

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a loss of $427,683 and had a net cash outflow from operating activities of $603,547. As at March 31, 2026, the Company had available cash of $289,998 and a deficit of current assets over current liabilities of $1,421,128.

The Directors have reviewed cashflow forecasts for the upcoming period and assessed that the Company will need to complete a capital raising or obtain alternative sources of financing to support forecast future cashflows over the relevant period of twelve months from the anticipated date of signing of these financial statements. A process is currently being conducted to determine the likely timing and quantum of these future sources of funding.


Sarama Resources Ltd

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Expressed in United States Dollars unless otherwise stated

Should this capital raising or alternative source of financing not eventuate, or not eventuate on a sufficiently timely basis, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Standards and Interpretations applicable to March 31, 2026

In the period ended March 31, 2026, the Directors have reviewed all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that are relevant to the consolidated entity 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 Company 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 March 31, 2026. 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.

IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (IFRS 18), which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes.

IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this new standard on its financial statements.

c) Basis of Consolidation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the Company as at March 31, 2026 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control (Note 10). 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 deconsolidated 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

(a) Functional and Presentation Currency


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

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s consolidated 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.

(b) Transactions and Balances

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into USD at the exchange rate in effect at balance 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 period-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 period.

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.

(c) 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 balance date,
  • income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 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 or loss. Further, irrespective of the 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

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

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, evaluation, and acquisition costs are expensed as incurred based upon each area of interest. 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) Impairment of Plant and Equipment

At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amounts of the Company’s plant and equipment are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of these assets is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell for the asset and the asset’s value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time-value-of-money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognised within profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

h) Plant and Equipment

The cost of all plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment charges. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Assets are depreciated over their estimated useful service lives using the straight-line method as follows:

Office equipment 4 years
Plant and equipment 3 years
Motor vehicles 4 years

i) 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 re-classed 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.

j) Basic and Diluted Earnings/Loss per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings/loss 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 or loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.

k) 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.

l) Income Taxes

Income tax on the profit or loss for the period presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date applicable to the period of expected realisation or settlement.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised.

m) 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. Refer to note 13 for further information.

n) 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.

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 options and warrants.

Gold project in Western Australia. The warrants were issued at an exercise price of A$0.05 expiring on December 5, 2026, at a fair value of $27,216 (A$42,269).

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

The fair value of shareholder warrants are recognised as a derivative liability in the financial statements in accordance with IAS 32. As the exercise price of the warrants is denominated in Australian dollars ("AUD"), which is different from the Company's functional currency (United States dollars ("USD"), the warrants do not meet the "fixed-for-fixed" criteria under IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. Consequently, the warrants are classified as a derivative financial liability.

The derivative liability was initially measured at its fair value on the date of issuance and is subsequently re-measured at each reporting date. Unrealized gains and losses arising from the re-measurement are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

The following table illustrates the changes in the derivative liability for the year:

Number of Warrants issued in CAD Number of Warrants issued in AUD Carrying amount in USD
Balance – December 31, 2024 - 26,666,666 49,379

The fair value of the derivative warrant liability as at March 31, 2026, and at issuance was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

March 31, 2026 At issuance
Risk-free interest rate 4.56% 2.92 - 4.22%

  1. 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 March 31, 2026 according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities (level 1),
(b) 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
(c) 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 Australia, West Africa, namely Burkina Faso, 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 Financière 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.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in USD, except as set out below:

As at March 31, 2026

AUD $ CAD $ Euro €
Cash and cash equivalents 387,889 32,223 1,117
Payables 903,714 262,039 10,066

Cash and cash equivalents 1,234,765 4,588 30,630
Payables 1,007,822 267,247 26,418

Sensitivity

Based on the financial instruments held as at March 31, 2026, had the US dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the AUD, CAD or Euro, with all other variables held constant, the Company’s losses/gains for the period would have been mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses in translation of foreign denominated currencies. The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

As at March 31, 2026

AUD $ CAD $ Euro €
USD Strengthened by 10% 32,220 14,995 936
USD Weakened by 10% (39,379) (18,328) (1,144)
As at December 31, 2025
AUD $ CAD $ Euro €
USD Strengthened by 10% (75,000) (304) (3,269)
USD Weakened by 10% 91,667 372 3,995

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company has reduced its credit risk by holding all of its cash and cash equivalents with an Australian financial institution, whose Moody’s Investor Service rating is Aa2, except for working capital requirements in West Africa.

Liquidity risk

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk rests with the Board of Directors, who oversee a liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s funding and liquidity requirements.

21


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

The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring there are adequate funds available to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company relies on issuance of shares to fund exploration programs and will most likely issue additional shares in the future.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the Company deposit funds at both short-term fixed and floating rates of interest. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Cash bears interest at variable rates. The fair value of cash approximates its carrying value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of this financial instrument.

Other current financial assets and liabilities are not exposed to interest rate risk because they are non-interest bearing.

Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors the commodity prices of precious metals and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

9. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimises the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in accordance with the objectives stated above, as well as responding to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended March 31, 2026. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the company, is reasonable. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The properties in which the Company currently has interests are in the exploration stage. As such, the Company does not recognise revenue from its exploration properties. The Company's historical source of capital has consisted of the issue of equity securities, options and warrants. In order for the Company to carry out planned exploration and development and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its working capital and expects to raise additional amounts externally as needed.

The Company is exposed to various funding and market risks which could curtail its access to funds.

In October 2024, the Company advised that it had entered into a Litigation Funding Agreement (“LFA”) with Locke Capital II LLC, an arm’s length party that specializes in providing funding for dispute resolution (the “Funder”) to commence international arbitration proceedings in relation to its investment dispute (the “Dispute”) with the Government of Burkina Faso. (refer announcement October 24, 2024)

The LFA provides a four-year non-recourse loan facility (“Facility”) of US$4.4 million to the Company to cover all fees and expenses related to its Claim to Arbitration (the “Claim”). If there is no settlement or award (or no default by Sarama under the LFA), the Company does not have an obligation to repay the loan.
