Tactical Resources Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For The Six Months Ended January 31, 2023 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Tactical Resources Corp. (formerly DJ1 Capital Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on June 25, 2018 as DJ1 Capital Corp. On March 25, 2021, the Company changed its name to Tactical Resources Corp. The principal business of the Company is exploration and development of Rare Earth Elements (“REE”). The Company’s registered and records office address is located at 1055 West Georgia Street, 1500 Royal Centre, PO Box 11117, Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7.
On March 14, 2022 (the “Listing Date”), the Company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “RARE”.
Going concern
At January 31, 2023, the Company has not generated revenue from operations, has an accumulated deficit of $6,709,604 (July 31, 2022 – $5,109,388) and a working capital of $1,570,615 (July 31, 2022 – $2,504,788), and expects to incur further losses in the exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties. These financial statements have been 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 for the foreseeable future. The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain economically recoverable reserves. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, the Company’s ability to obtain adequate financing to develop the reserves, and its ability to generate revenues and cash flows from profitable operations in the future. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The junior mining industry is considered speculative in nature which could make the Company more difficult to fund.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Financial Reporting and Disclosure during Economic Uncertainty
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic; the Company has not been significantly impacted by the spread of COVID-19. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, the global financial climate and the conflict in Ukraine are affecting current economic conditions and increasing economic uncertainty, which may impact the Company’s operating performance, financial position and the Company’s ability to raise funds at this time.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

During the six months ended January 31, 2022
-
As discussed in Note 5, on August 11, 2021, the Company issued 1,000,000 SBQ Consideration Shares with a fair value of $200,000 pursuant to the SBQ Assignment Agreement.
-
As discussed in Note 5, on August 11, 2021, the Company issued 50,000 Oasis Finders’ Shares with a fair value of $10,000 pursuant to the SBQ Finders’ Fee Agreement.
-
On September 14, 2021, the Company issued 5,713,000 units upon exercise of the special warrants which were issued on May 13, 2021. The Company reclassified the proceeds of $5,287,745, net of issuance costs of $425,255, from reserves to share capital.
Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles its holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $2.50 at any time prior to September 14, 2023.
For accounting purposes, the Company estimated the grant date fair value of warrants issued with the exercise of the special warrants, using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model, assuming a risk‐free interest rate of 0.39%, an expected life of 2 years, an expected volatility of 108% and an expected dividend yield of 0%, which totaled $223,895, and recorded this value in warrants reserve. Volatility is calculated based on the volatility of companies of similar size in the junior mining sector. The value attributed to the warrants was based on their relative fair value as compared to the fair value of the common shares. The remaining balance of $5,063,850 was recorded as common shares.
- As discussed in Note 4, on September 30, 2021, the Company issued 50,000 common shares with fair value of $44,500 pursuant to the Taiga Agreement.

10. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company defines its components of shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue business opportunities and to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust capital structure, the Company may consider issuing new shares, and/or issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash on hand.
There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management at any time during the six months January 31, 2023. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value
The carrying values of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the relatively short period to maturity of those financial instruments.
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: 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); and Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Fair value (continued)
As at January 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022, the financial instrument recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position is cash which is measured using Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
As at January 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value that would be categorized as Level 2 and 3 in the fair value hierarchy above.

Financial risk management
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk includes cash.
The Company’s cash is held at a large Canadian financial institution in interest bearing accounts. The Company has no investments in asset-backed commercial paper.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of its financial assets.
Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to these financial instruments is remote. Cash based in Canada is accessible.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash balances to meet liabilities as they become due.
The Company’s expected source of cash flow in the upcoming year will be through equity financings.

Tactical Resources Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For The Six Months Ended January 31, 2023 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Financial risk management (continued)
Liquidity risk (continued)
At January 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $1,400,001 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $248,192. All accounts payable and accrued liabilities are current.
Market risk
The significant market risks to which the Company is exposed are interest rate risk, currency risk, other price risk, and commodity price risk.
- Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As of January 31, 2023, the Company’s cash is placed in an interest-free account at a Canadian chartered bank and does not hold any variance interest-bearing debt; as a result, the Company is not subject to any risks due to the fluctuation of the interest rate.
- Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in Canadian dollars (“CA$”). The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate the risk.
The Company’s accounts payable is held in CA$ and United States dollars (“US”); therefore, US accounts are subject to fluctuation against the CA$.
The Company’s financial instruments were denominated as follows as at January 31, 2023:
| CA$ US$ |
CA$ US$ |
CA$ US$ |
|---|---|---|
| Cash 1,400,001 - Accountspayable and accrued liabilities (216,075) (24,000) |
||
| 1,183,926 (24,000) |
||
| Rate to convert to$1.00 CA$ | 1.00 1.34 |
|
| Equivalent to CA$ | 1,183,926 (32,117) |
Based on the above net exposures as at January 31, 2023, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% change of the CA$ against the US would change profit or loss by approximately $3,000.
• Other price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and development activities may be subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of commodities. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.
