INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders and Directors of Scottie Resources Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Scottie Resources Corp. ("the Company") which comprise:

  • the statements of financial position as at August 31, 2024 and 2023;
  • the statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023;
  • the statements of cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023;
  • the statements of changes in equity for the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023; and
  • the notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at August 31, 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 Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the financial statements in Canada. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 of the accompanying financial statements, which describes matters and conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about 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 financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, the key audit matters to be communicated in our auditors' report are as follows:

Accounting for the Sale of Royalty

We draw attention to Notes 3 and 8 of the financial statements. During the year ended August 31, 2024, the Company recognized a recovery of $5,844,467 against capitalized mineral property acquisition costs and a gain of $2,255,533 on the sale of royalty. The Company applies proceeds from the sale of royalty interests to reduce the carrying value of the related exploration and evaluation assets in the statement of financial position. Gains are only recognized when the consideration received exceeds the carrying amount of the associated assets.

We identified the accounting treatment of the royalty transaction as a key audit matter due to the significance of the transaction proceeds and the substantial management judgment required to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. The complexity of accounting for royalty and streaming arrangements in the exploration and mining industry contributed to the significance, particularly in determining recognition, derecognition, and presentation in the financial statements. Additionally, the transaction had a material impact on the Company's assets, equity, and overall financial performance, further emphasizing its importance. This led to additional auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate audit evidence pertaining to judgments made by management in this area.


Our audit response to the key audit matter was as follows:

  • We evaluated the terms of the royalty agreement to identify the appropriate and applicable accounting standards to determine the accounting treatment.
  • We evaluated management's judgment to determine if the sale of royalty constituted a sale, liability, or embedded derivative, ensuring consistency with IFRS and industry norms.
  • We assessed the derecognition of exploration and evaluation assets related to the sold royalty interest and verified the calculation of the recorded gain on the sale of royalty.
  • We evaluated management's assertion that the Company remains in the exploration stage by verifying historical technical reports, where available, and by reviewing corporate presentations, publicly available information, and press releases to confirm that no confirmed mineral reserves or resources had been established.
  • We benchmarked the Company's accounting treatment against practical examples of similar industry transactions to ensure alignment with prevailing practices.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis to be filed with the relevant Canadian securities commissions.

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we 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 Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the 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.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' 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 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 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 auditors' report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are, therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or 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 auditors' report is Waseem Javed.

SCOTTIE RESOURCES CORP.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Scottie Resources Corp. ("Scottie" or the "Company") is a publicly traded company incorporated on November 24, 2009 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company's shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol SCOT.

The Company's corporate registered and records office is located at #905 – 1111 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2J3. The Company is engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada. The Company has not placed any of its mineral properties into development and is therefore considered to be in the exploration stage.

The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether any of its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts spent for mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties.

Subsequent to the year ended August 31, 2024, the Board of directors authorized a 6-for-1 share consolidation which became effective on December 3, 2024. The number of issued and outstanding shares, options, warrants and per share amounts in these financial statements have been retrospectively restated for all periods presented unless otherwise stated.

These 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 in the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to continue on a going concern basis beyond the next twelve months depends on its ability to successfully raise additional financing for the substantial capital expenditures required to achieve planned principal operations. While the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company has not generated any revenues since inception, has a working capital of $8,934,737 and has a history of losses and accumulated deficit of $48,772,090 as at August 31, 2024. These factors form a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate, which could be material.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). The policies applied in these financial statements are based on the IFRS issued and outstanding as at August 31, 2024.

Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value, using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.


SCOTTIE RESOURCES CORP.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont'd...)

Functional and presentation currency

The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"), which has been determined for each entity within the Company using an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

a) Significant Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and include, but are not limited to, the following:

Share-based compensation and valuation of warrants

The fair value pricing of stock options and warrants issued are subject to the limitations of the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model that incorporates market data and involves uncertainty in estimates used by management in the assumptions. Because the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share prices, changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Asset retirement obligations

The Company's provision for reclamation represents management's best estimate of the present value of the future cash outflows required to settle estimated reclamation costs at its mineral properties. The provision reflects estimates of future costs, inflation, the timing of future cash outflows and the risk-free interest rate for discounting the future cash outflows. As at August 31, 2024, the Company has recorded $nil in asset retirement obligations.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont'd...)

Use of estimates and judgments (Cont'd...)

b) Significant Accounting Judgments

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

Going concern presentation

Management has determined that the going concern presentation of the financial statements, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due as discussed in Note 1, is appropriate.

Carrying value and the recoverability of mineral properties

Management has determined that acquisition costs that have been capitalized may have future economic benefits and may be economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including geological and other technical information, scoping and feasibility studies, accessibility of facilities, and existing permits.

Income taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilized. In addition, the valuation of tax credits receivable requires management to make judgements on the amount and timing of recovery.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Foreign exchange

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and has been determined for the Company as Canadian dollars.

Transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, the monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the statement of financial position date while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in profit or loss.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd...)

Property and equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Land is not depreciated. The cost of an item of property and equipment consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use, initial estimates of the costs of dismantling and removing an item and restoring the site on which it is located, and, where applicable, borrowing costs.

Where an item of property and equipment is composed of major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of equipment. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of property and equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures and building improvements, are capitalized.

Amortization is recognized in operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each asset or component part of an item of property and equipment, depending on which method (and rate) most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

Equipment 3 years, straight line
Computer equipment 3 years, straight line
Vehicles 5 years, straight line
Building 20 years, straight line

Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted as appropriate.

Mineral properties and exploration expenses

Pre-acquisition costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Upon acquiring the legal right to explore a property, all direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property interests are capitalized. Exploration expenses incurred prior to determination of the feasibility of mining operations and a decision to proceed with development are charged to operations as incurred. The Company will perform an impairment test on transition from the exploration stage to the development stage.

Expenditures incurred subsequent to a development decision, and to increase or extend the life of existing production, are capitalized and will be transferred to property, plant and equipment and amortized using the unit-of-production method based upon proven and probable reserves. When there is little prospect of further work on a property being carried out by the Company, the remaining deferred costs associated with that property will be assessed for impairment.

The Company assesses mineral properties for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount.

Sale of royalty interest

The Company records the proceeds from the sale of a royalty interest on a property against the value of the Exploration and Evaluation asset in the statement of financial position and does not recognize any gain or loss on its exploration and evaluation royalty transactions, until the consideration received is in excess of the carrying amount of the associated asset on which the royalty is to be earned.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd...)

Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental obligations

The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by exploration activities. An obligation to incur a provision for rehabilitation expenses for activities such as restoration, reclamation, and other environmental costs arises when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration or development of a mineral property interest. When such costs are material, the Company records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore the exploration sites in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The timing of the actual rehabilitation expenditure is dependent upon many factors such as the life and nature of the asset, the operating license conditions and, when applicable, the environment in which the mine operates.

Where material, an estimated liability based principally on legal and regulatory requirements is recorded for obligations relating to the restoration, rehabilitation, and retirement of property and equipment obligations arising from the acquisition, development, or normal operation of those assets. Such decommissioning liabilities are recognized at fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset, where one is identifiable, is recorded and amortized over the life of the asset. Where a related asset is not easily identifiable with a liability, the change in fair value over the course of the year is expensed. The amount of the liability is subject to a re-measurement at each reporting period.

The Company's estimate of its reclamation liabilities may change as a result of changes in regulations, the extent of environmental remediation required or completed, the means of reclamation, or changes in cost estimates. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively commencing in the period in which the estimate is revised.

As at August 31, 2024 and 2023, the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation holds reclamation bonds paid by the Company and held against completion of the required remediation upon completion of the exploration on its properties. The Company does not consider these to be material amounts and accounts for them in non-current deposits at their fair value. The Company does not have any other material restoration, rehabilitation, and environmental obligations because all environmental disturbances to date have been minimal.

Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as a finance cost. The Company has not recorded any provisions for any of the financial years presented.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, if any, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd...)

Impairment of non-financial assets (Cont'd...)

For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the "cash generating unit" or "CGU"). The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in operations.

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in operations.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified at initial recognition as: amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit and loss or other comprehensive income ("OCI").

  • Amortized cost – A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of contractual cash flows, and the asset's contractual cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date and are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
  • FVTPL – Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial asset held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Derivatives are also categorized as FVTPL unless they are designated as hedges.
  • FVOCI – Investments in equity instruments at FVOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in OCI and dividends recognized in profit and loss. There is no subsequent reclassification of the fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following derecognition of the investment.
  • Embedded derivatives – The Company considers whether a contract contains an embedded derivative when the entity first becomes a party to it. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract if the host contract is not measured at FVTPL and when the economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd...)

Financial instruments (Cont'd...)

Reassessment occurs only if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on their maturity date and are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL, or the Company has opted to measure at FVTPL.

Impairment

An "expected credit loss" impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to the estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account, and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

Government grants

British Columbia Mining Tax Credits ("BCMETC") for certain exploration expenditures incurred in British Columbia are treated as a reduction of the exploration and development costs of the respective mineral properties. If there is significant uncertainty with regard to collections and assessments, the Company will record any recovered tax credits at the time of receipt, otherwise BCMETC amounts are recorded as tax credits receivable.

Share capital

Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial asset or financial liability. The Company's common shares are classified as equity instruments.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Costs attributable to the listing of existing shares are expensed as incurred.

Warrants

Warrants issued by the Company typically accompany an issuance of shares in the Company (a "unit") and entitle the warrant holder to exercise the warrants for a stated price for a stated number of common shares of the Company. The fair values of the components of units sold (shares and warrants) are measured using the residual value approach where the carrying amount of the warrants is determined based on any difference between gross proceeds and the estimated fair market value of the shares.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd...)

Warrants (Cont'd...)

If the proceeds are less than or equal to the estimated fair market value of the shares issued, a nil carrying amount is assigned to the warrants.

When warrants are issued as finders' fees or broker's compensation in connection with a private placement or equity raise, the company accounts for warrants using the relative fair value method. Under this method, the value of warrants issued is measured at fair value at the issue date using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model and recorded as share capital if and when the warrants are exercised.

Flow-through shares

The Company will, from time to time, issue flow-through shares and units to finance a significant portion of its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of flow-through share agreements and Canadian tax legislation, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. On issuance, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability, and ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability, and the premium is recognized as a recovery of flow-through premium.

Proceeds received through the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property expenditures within a period of up to two years. Exploration expenditures related to the use of flow through share proceeds are not available as a tax deduction to the Company because the tax benefits of these expenditures are renounced to investors.

Share issuance costs

Costs directly identifiable with the raising of capital are charged against the related share capital. Costs related to shares not yet issued are recorded as deferred financing costs. These costs are presented as other assets until the issuance of the shares to which the costs relate, at which time the costs are charged against the related share capital or charged to profit or loss if the shares are not issued.

Share-based payments

The Company grants stock options to acquire common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company under the terms of its Stock Option Plan. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.

The fair value is measured at the grant date and each tranche is recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of stock options that are expected to vest. The fair value of options granted is recognized as a share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in equity.

Consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital and the fair value of the options is reclassified from equity reserves (formerly contributed surplus) to share capital. In the event that options are cancelled or forfeited prior to full vesting, the fair value of the portion of the cancelled or forfeited options that have not yet vested is excluded from share-based compensation expense.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd...)

Share-based payments (Cont'd...)

Share-based payment arrangements in which the Company receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions and are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received. Where the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment are not reliably estimable, the fair value is measured through the use of a valuation model where the expected life used in the model is adjusted based on management's best estimate for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioral considerations.

Where a grant of stock options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

Basic and diluted loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

In the Company's case, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as the effect of outstanding share options and warrants on loss per share would be anti-dilutive.

Income taxes

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to the tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary differences related to the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination that affects neither accounting nor taxable operations, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Income taxes (Cont'd...)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and current tax liabilities, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities who intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or where net tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted during the year

The Company adopted the following amendments to accounting standards, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023:

Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) – the amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policy information, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy.

Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8) – the amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The amendments clarify that a change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error.

These amendments were applied effective September 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

New standards not yet adopted

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18) - IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements which aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss, in particular additional defined subtotals, disclosures about management-defined performance measures and new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Categories of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: amortized cost; fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"); fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI").

The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments are classified into the following categories:

Financial Instrument Category August 31, 2024 August 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents FVTPL $ 9,299,574 $ 1,457,963
Trade receivable Amortized cost $ 136,007 $ 71,379
Reclamation deposits Amortized cost $ 248,432 $ 248,432
Accounts payable Amortized cost $ 1,605,680 $ 2,274,748

The Company's financial instruments recorded at fair value require disclosure about how the fair value was determined based on significant levels of inputs described in the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and value to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace.

Level 3 – Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The recorded amounts for trade receivable, reclamation deposits, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at fair value and calculated under the fair value hierarchy and measured using Level 1 inputs.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont'd...)

Risk Management

The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized as follows:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a counter-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets, including cash and amounts receivable. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk in its cash by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that its cash balances bear variable rates of interest. The interest rate risks on cash and on the Company's obligations are not considered significant.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its short-term debt obligations. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when they come due; all of the Company's accounts payable are current and due within 90 days of the balance sheet. As at August 31, 2024, the Company has accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,957,166 which are due within 30 days or on demand. The current cash available are not sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs, and therefore, as discussed in Note 1, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

8. MINERAL PROPERTIES

Title to mineral property interests involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral claims. All of the Company's mineral interests are located near Stewart, British Columbia, Canada in the region known as the Golden Triangle. The properties have been acquired under various option and purchase agreements and by staking. Certain claims are subject to a net smelter returns ("NSR") royalty ranging from 1% to 3%. During the year ended August 31, 2024, the Company granted a 2% gross production royalty on all of the mineral property interests held by Scottie to an arms length third-party, see Royalty Transaction section below.

The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral property interests and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its interests are in good standing.

Royalty Transaction

During the year ended August 31, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Franco-Nevada Corp ("Franco-Nevada") pursuant to which the Company granted of a 2% gross production royalty (the "Royalty") to Franco-Nevada Corp for gross proceeds of $8,100,000 (the "Royalty Transaction"). The Royalty applies to all minerals produced on the Company's claims in the Stewart Mining Camp in the Golden Triangle, including those claims which are held under option by the Company and any claims subsequently acquired by the Company within an area of interest around its existing claims.

Pursuant to the Royalty Transaction, if the Company decides to abandon any part or all the properties subject to the royalty, it is required to provide Franco-Nevada with prior notice of this intention. Furthermore, Franco-Nevada holds a right of first refusal in the event the Company receives a written offer from a third party to purchase a new or existing royalty, stream, or similar interest related to the properties subject to the Royalty Transaction. Lastly, the Company is restricted from transferring the properties subject to the Royalty Transaction unless Franco-Nevada has entered into an agreement with any transferee or purchaser regarding the entirety or part of the properties subject to the Royalty Transaction.

Franco-Nevada has also been granted the option to purchase an additional 0.5% gross production royalty upon the decision by the Company to proceed with construction of a project or acceptance by Scottie of a project study on its properties (the "Additional Royalty").

The purchase price in respect of the Additional Royalty will be determined at the time of exercise based on a net present value calculation at consensus commodity prices. Franco-Nevada has been further granted a right of first refusal to purchase any new royalty, streaming or similar interest in Scottie's properties which is offered to be purchased by a third party.

In conjunction with the Royalty Transaction, the Company closed a charity flow-through private placement of 903,832 flow-through common shares at a price of $1.65 per flow through common share for additional gross proceeds of $1,491,323.

Agentis Capital Mining Partners were paid a cash fee of $625,000 and issued 500,000 common share purchase warrants with a fair value of $246,650 for acting as financials advisors in connection with the Royalty Transaction and a charity flow-through financing (note 10). Each common share purchase warrant is exercisable at a price of $1.14 for a period of two years. The Company allocated $527,821 of the cash fee and $208,299 of the fair value of the compensation warrants to advisory fee's and the remaining $97,179 of the cash fee and $38,351 of the fair value of the compensation were allocated to share issuance costs.

In connection with the Royalty Transaction, the Company recognized a recovery against capitalized mineral property acquisition costs of $5,844,467 and recognized a gain on sale of royalty of $2,255,533.

Scottie Gold Mine Project

Summit Lake

On April 26, 2019, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Summit Lake property. Since the commencement of the option agreement, the Company made aggregate cash payments of $250,000, issued an aggregate of 366,667 common share and acquired a 100% interest in the Summit Lake property during the year ended August 31, 2023.

During the year ended August 31, 2023, the Company purchased a 1.8% gross smelter return royalty on the Summit Lake property which was previously held by a third-party over certain Summit Lake Property claims. In consideration of the purchase, the Company issued 416,667 common shares to the vendor with a fair value of $637,500.

During the year ended August 31, 2022, the Company purchased a 3.0% NSR which was previously held by a third-party over certain Summit Lake Property claims for $1,600,000.

During the year ended August 31, 2022, the Company entered into an option agreement with Ibero Mining Corp. (Formerly Europacific Metals Inc.) ("Ibero") whereas Ibero could acquire up to 3.75% interest in the Company's Summit Lake project by incurring up to $1,500,000 in exploration expenses on the project until December 31, 2022 (the "Option").

Following the completion of the earn-in of the Option, Ibero had the right (the "Put Right") to require Scottie to repurchase the interest earned by Ibero by paying cash, at a price calculated by dividing the total exploration expenditures incurred by Ibero by 1.7 and Scottie had the right (the "Call Right") to repurchase the interest earned by Ibero by paying cash, at a price calculated by dividing the total exploration expenditures incurred by Ibero by 1.7.

Ibero incurred exploration expenditures of $1,032,662 during the year ended August 31, 2023 and $547,338 during the year ended August 31, 2022, for total cumulative exploration expenditures of $1,580,000. Following the completion of the earn-in of the option Ibero exercised the Put Right and the Company repurchased the earned interest on the Summit Lake project for $900,000. Consequently, the Company recognized $564,764 of exploration expenditures during the year ended August 31, 2023 (August 31, 2022 - $335,236), representing the exploration expenditures incurred by Ibero divided by the Put Right repurchase rate.

Cambria Project

Bitter Creek

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Bitter Creek property, contiguous with the Company's Black Hills and Ruby Silver properties. In 2020, the Company completed its purchase obligations on the property to earn the 100% interest after renegotiation of the initial option agreement and payment of $325,000 in cash and issuance of 166,667 shares valued at $235,000.

Bitter Creek is subject to a 2.5% NSR, 60% of which can be purchased for $1,500,000.

14. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

The Company manages its common shares, stock options, warrants and deficit as capital (Note 11). The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable level of risk.

The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash.

To facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.

To maximize ongoing exploration expenditures, the Company does not pay dividends. The Company's investment policy is to keep its cash treasury on deposit in interest-bearing Canadian chartered bank accounts and short-term guaranteed investment certificates.

The Company estimates that it will require additional funding to carry out its exploration plans and operations through the next twelve months. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital restrictions. There were no changes to the Company's approach to capital management.
