STARLO VENTURES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated

1. Nature of operations and going concern

Starlo Ventures Ltd. (the “Company” or “Starlo”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on November 26, 2021. Starlo has one wholly-owned subsidiary, 1335137 B.C. Ltd which is consolidated with the Company in these statements. The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the symbol “SLO”. The Company is an exploration stage mining company.

These condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Starlo is an exploration stage mining company which incurred a loss of $14,024 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and as at September 30, 2024 had an accumulated deficit of $456,914. The Company is expected to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain financing and generate positive cash flows from its operations. The Company estimates it has sufficient funds to operate for the next 12 months. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include adjustments that may be necessary if the going concern principal is not appropriate.

The head office and principal address of the Company is located at Suite 3200, 733 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 5J3.

2. Basis of presentation and material accounting policies

Statement of Compliance

These Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The Financial Statements do not include all the necessary annual disclosures in accordance with IFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Basis of Presentation

The Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), which are stated at their fair value. The financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency, including its subsidiary, unless otherwise noted.

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its wholly controlled subsidiary. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

3. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes the estimates and assumptions used in these financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

The Company’s significant accounting judgments and estimates have been applied in these financial statements:

Judgments

  • The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves critical judgement based on historical experience. Significant judgements are used in the Company’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern which is described in Note 1.

Estimates

  • In calculating the fair value of the share-based compensation and warrants, management makes estimates related to the Company’s share price volatility and expected life of the instruments. To the extent that these estimates are not correct, the value of these instruments within equity may differ.

  • In calculating the fair value of the flow-through shares and warrants, management makes estimates related to the Company’s share price volatility and expected life of the instruments. To the extent that these estimates are not correct, the value of these instruments within equity may differ.

  • The assessment of indicators of impairment for the mineral property and the related determination of the recoverable amount and write-down of the property where applicable. To the extent that these estimates are not correct, the value of the mineral properties may differ.

4. Exploration and Evaluation Asset

The Company’s exploration and evaluation asset consists of 19 mineral tenures in British Columbia that were staked on January 24, 2022 for $2,451 which make-up the Mt. Richards Property.

The breakdown of exploration expenses incurred is as follows:

Total 13,000 60,000

9. Financial Instruments

As at September 30, 2024, the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The Company classifies cash and receivables as financial assets held at amortized cost. The Company classifies accounts payable as financial liabilities, and these are held at amortized cost. The fair value of all of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their shortterm nature.

The Company’s financial instruments consists of cash which is considered to be Level 1 and, receivables and accounts payable which are considered to be Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy (as discussed below).

Level 1– fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

STARLO VENTURES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated

Level 2 – fair values based on inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – fair values based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s policy for determining when a transfer occurs between levels in the fair value hierarchy is to assess the impact at the date of the event or the change in circumstances that could result in a transfer. There were no transfers between the levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The risk exposure arising from these financial instruments is summarized as follows:

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's financial assets are cash. The Company holds it cash in a bank account with a highly rated Canadian financial institution, therefore minimizing the Company’s credit risk.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company has sufficient funds as of September 30, 2024 to cover its liabilities. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its liabilities when due, beyond the current cash balance, is dependent on future support of shareholders through public or private equity offerings.

(c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or value of its holdings or financial instruments. The Company’s activities have only been transacted in Canadian dollars since incorporation and until September 30, 2024; in addition, the Company carries no interest-bearing debt. As such, the Company has minimal market risks facing it at present.

10. Capital management

In the management of capital, the Company includes consideration of the components of shareholders’ equity as well as cash and other working capital with a view to the Company’s current and future needs. The Company currently manager its capital structure and adjusts it, based on cash resources expected to be available to support its operations including the exploration and development of its mineral property interests. Management has not established a quantitative capital structure, but does review on a regular basis the stage of development of the Company and its needs.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements except the rules of the Canadian Securities Exchange with which it is presently in compliance.
