Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

For the nine months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021

1. Nature of operations and going concern

SLAM Exploration Ltd. (the “Company” or "SLAM"), is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation properties in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ontario, Canada. The Company was incorporated under the Canada Business Incorporation Act on November 26, 1996. The Company is publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “SXL”. The head office of the Company is located at 295 Hutchinson Drive, Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada, E1V 6C7. The Company’s mailing address is 789 West Pender Street, Suite 810, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1H2.

The Company is in the process of exploring its exploration and evaluation properties for mineral resources and has not determined whether these exploration and evaluation properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The underlying value of the exploration and evaluation assets is entirely dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, preservation of its interests in the underlying properties, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development, and the achievement of profitable operations. The amounts shown as exploration and evaluation assets represent net costs to date, less amounts written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.

The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration and evaluation programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation properties and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At October 31, 2022, the Company had not yet achieved consistent profitable operations, has an accumulated deficit of $24,911,090 (January 31, 2022 - $24,813,411) and expects to incur further losses all of which casts significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

The Company plans to raise additional funds to maintain its capital structure and working capital requirements. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans to raise additional funds.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

For the nine months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021

2. Basis of preparation

2.1 Statement of Compliance

These condensed unaudited interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Financial Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting of the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Committee (“IFRIC”). Accordingly, these condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by IFRS for complete financial statements for the year-end reporting process.

These condensed interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2022. The policies applied in these condensed interim financial statements are based on IFRS issued as of the date the Board of Directors approved the financial statements. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2022.

2.2 Basis of Measurement

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets which are carried at fair value. In addition, these audited financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. These audited financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is also the Company's functional currency.

3. Significant accounting policies

In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant accounting policies and the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s significant accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2022.

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires that the Company’s management make judgments and estimates of effects of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Actual future outcomes could differ from present estimates and judgments, potentially having material future effects on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other facts and circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.

4. Capital management

The Company considers its capital structure to consist of share capital, share options reserve, and warrants reserve. The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support its exploration activities and to maintain corporate and administrative functions necessary to support operational activities. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

For the nine months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021

4. Capital management (continued)

The exploration and evaluation assets in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration and evaluation stage; as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend working capital once it has obtained financing. The Company will continue to assess new exploration and evaluation assets and seek to acquire an interest in additional exploration and evaluation assets if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate operational needs in short-term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash and other short-term guaranteed deposits, and all are held in major Canadian financial institutions. 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 dependent on the capital markets as its sole source of operating capital. The Company’s capital resources are largely determined by the strength of the junior resource markets, by the status of the Company’s projects in relation to those markets, and by its ability to compete for investor support of its projects. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. However, it is subject to any regulations and rules imposed by the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture in issuing and/or maintaining debt or equity financings.

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the nine months ended October 31, 2022. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Expired and forfeited stock options

The Company transferred $23,216 (2021 - $26,746) from share option reserve to deficit for 300,000 forfeited (2021 – expired 450,000) share options.

11. Contingencies

Environmental contingencies

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures necessary to comply with such laws and regulations. The properties the Company holds interest in are currently in the initial exploration stages and it has not determined whether significant restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs will be required. The Company would only record liabilities for restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs when reasonably determinable and when such costs can be reliably quantified. Management is of the opinion that the Company addresses environmental risk and compliance in accordance with industry standards and specific project environmental requirements.

14. Financial instruments

14.1 Fair value of financial instruments:

Fair value estimates are made at the statement of financial position date based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties in significant matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, sales tax receivable, and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate fair market value because of the limited term of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair value. Short-term loan payable and lease liability are carried at their amortized cost.

14. Financial instruments (continued)

14.1 Fair value of financial instruments (continued):

Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy shall have the following levels: (a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); (b) inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices) (Level 2); and (c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

At October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the Company’s financial instruments that are carried at fair value, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, have been classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

14.2 Financial risk factors

The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below. There have been no changes in the risks, objectives, policies and procedures during the nine months ended October 31, 2022.

(i) Credit Risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and equivalents, and marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents are held with reputable Canadian financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal. All transactions executed by the Company in listed securities are settled or paid for upon delivery using approved brokers. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once the broker has received payment. Receivables are assessed to determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment has been incurred but not yet been identified. The Company considers that there is evidence of impairment if any of the following indicators are present: 1. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, 2. Probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and 3. Default in payments. The debtor was never in default in payments in past and in a case of default, the Company has a right to re-acquire a 100% interest in the sold properties provided that the Company delivers a written notice of default to the debtor and the debtor does not remedy the default within 30 days of delivery of the notice of default. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments above is remote.

(ii) Liquidity risk

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at October 31, 2022, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $146,138 (January 31, 2022 - $444,679) to settle current liabilities of $616,427 (January 31, 2022 - $490,774). The Company's ability to continue operations and fund its exploration property expenditures is dependent on management's ability to secure additional financing. Management is continuing to pursue various financing initiatives in order to provide sufficient cash flow to finance operations as well as to fund its exploration expenditures.

14.2 Financial risk factors (continued)

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. The Company closely monitors interest rates to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

(iv) Commodity price risk

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. The Company’s future profitability and viability of exploration depends upon the world market price of commodities. Commodity prices have fluctuated widely in recent years. There is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of commodities are produced in the future, a profitable market will exist for them. A decline in the market price of commodities may also result in the Company reducing its mineral resources, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s value.

The Company is not a commodity producer as of October 31, 2022. Therefore, commodity price risk may affect the completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of share options and warrants. This may also affect the Company’s liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.

(v) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that a change in market prices, interest rate levels, indices, liquidity and other market factors will result in losses. The Company is exposed to market risk as a result of its available for sale investments.

(vi) Foreign currency risk

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is negligible and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk. The Company does not hold balances in foreign currencies to give rise to exposure to foreign exchange risk.

14.3 Sensitivity analysis

The Company has designated its cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities as FVTPL, which are measured at fair value. Receivables are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Payables and accruals, and short-term loan payable are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. As at October 31, 2022, the carrying and fair value amounts of the Company's current financial assets are approximately the same.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2022, the Company did not have any significant interest income or expenses nor any foreign exchange gain or loss. A 10% change in either the interest rate or the exchange rate would not significantly affect the Company.

15. COVID-19 pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, a pandemic. This has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to limit the spread of the virus, including closure of non-essential businesses. As of the date of this report, the majority of the Company’s operations are considered essential in all jurisdictions in which the Company operates. As such, to date the Company has been able to continue operating with no material impact to operations.

There have been no material revisions to the nature and number of estimates and judgments made in respect of the Company’s financial statements of prior years. However, the effects of COVID-19 have required significant judgements and estimates to be made in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements.

Additionally, the effects of COVID-19 may require revisions to estimates of expected credit losses attributed to accounts receivable. To date no revisions to managements’ estimates and judgements used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements have been necessary.

Due to rapid developments and uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 or the possible ending of COVID-19, it is not possible to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company’s operations or financial results in the future, its suppliers, and its customers. Additionally, it is possible the Company’s operations and financial results will change in the near term as a result of COVID-19 or the ending of COVID-19.
