TALENT INFINITY RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTS INC. (formerly Talent Infinity Capital Fund Corporation) (an exploration stage company) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) FOR THE PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2022 and 2021

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Talent Infinity Capital Corporation (the “ Company ”) is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act , (British Columbia). On January 14, 2021, the Company changed its name to Talent Infinity Resource Developments Inc. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties located in Canada. The Company was incorporated on June 25, 2020.

The Company’s head office and records office is located at 5728 East Boulevard, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6M 4M4.

The recovery of the amounts comprising mineral properties is dependent upon the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to successfully complete their exploration and development, and upon future profitable production.

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared by management 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. At May 31, 2022 the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had accumulated losses of $437,085 since its inception, and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A number of alternatives including, but not limited to selling an interest in one or more of its properties or completing a financing, are being evaluated with the objective of funding ongoing activities and obtaining working capital. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due.

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 in existence.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34 – Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Company in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements as at and for the year ended May 31, 2022.

Basis of Presentation

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for some financial instruments classified in accordance with measurements standards under IFRS. These condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in Note 3 to the audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2021 and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements. The Company used the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the audited annual financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2022.

COVID-19

Since March 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID- 19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operations in future periods.

3. SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the year. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of mineral properties and recognition of deferred income tax amounts.

Critical judgments exercised in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:

Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of mineral properties

Management has determined that mineral property costs incurred which were capitalized have future economic benefits and are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including geological and metallurgic information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to proven and probable reserves, scoping and feasibility studies, accessible facilities, existing permits and life of mine plans.

Income taxes

In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified.

4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLES AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are as follows:

August 31, 2022 May 31, 2022

SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. As the operations comprise a single reporting segment, amounts disclosed also represent segment amounts.

10. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company enters into financial instruments to finance its operations in the normal course of business. The fair values of cash and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments has been classified within the fair value hierarchy as at August 31, 2022 as follows:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Financial Assets
Cash $ 218,165 - - $ 218,165
$ 218,165 - - $ 218,165

The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates The Company has certain monetary assets denominated in United States Dollars. As at August 31, 2022, the Company had United States Dollar cash on hand with a Canadian dollar equivalent of $155,470. Assuming that all other variables remain constant, a fluctuation of +/- 1.0 percent in the exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and the United States Dollar would impact loss before taxes by $1,554 as at August 31, 2022.

Credit risk

The Company’s cash is largely held in large Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not have any assetbacked commercial paper. The Company maintains cash deposits with Schedule A financial institution, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant credit losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to ash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not hold any financial liabilities with variable interest rates. The Company does maintain bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

Price risk

The ability of the Company to explore its mineral properties and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of precious metals. The Company monitors precious metals prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Capital management

The Company defines its capital as shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors do 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. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage. As such, the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. In addition, the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will need to raise additional funds. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
