Condensed Interim Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

For the three months ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Taurus Gold Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 26, 2019. The registered address, head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located at Suite 600, 815 – 8th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta T2P 3P2. On September 15, 2022, the Company commenced trading on the CSE under the symbol: TAUR, OTCQB: TARGF.

The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company's continuing operations and the underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral property interests, obtaining the necessary permits to mine, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property interests.

These financial statements (the "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 for the foreseeable future. As at October 31, 2024, the Company has recurring losses and has a working capital deficiency of $135,347 (2023 – working capital of $273,713) and a cumulative deficit of $1,779,286 (2023 - $1,337,050). In addition, the Company has not generated revenues from operations. These circumstances comprise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the issuance of common shares and shareholder advances in the form of unsecured promissory notes for working capital purposes. The Company will continue to require additional funding to maintain its ongoing exploration programs, property maintenance payments and operations and administration for the next fiscal year. The Company also recognizes that exploration expenditures may change with ongoing results and, as a result, it may be required to obtain additional financing. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any, that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption was not used, then the adjustments required to report the Company's assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis could be material to these financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of Compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using the same accounting policies as detailed in the Company's annual audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2024, and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements.

Basis of preparation

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

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Material accounting policies

The accounting policies, estimates and critical judgments, methods of computation and presentation applied in these financial statements are consistent with those of the most recent annual audited financial statements and are those the Company expects to adopt in its financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2025. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual audited financial statements.

New accounting policies

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after July 31, 2024. The Company has reviewed all other updates and determined that many of these updates are not applicable or consequential to the Company and have been excluded from discussion within these material accounting policies.

In the event that the Company exercised the Third Option, the Company would have had the right to purchase one-third (1.0%) of the NSR for the purchase price of $1,500,000 for a period of 90 days.

The Company issued 7,500,000 common shares to 1011308 BC on August 18, 2020. On October 18, 2020, the Company and 1011308 BC entered into an amending agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to extend the period in which the Company is required to make the Initial Payment to the earlier of (i) five (5) business days following closing of the Offering, and (ii) March 15, 2021.

On March 11, 2022, the Company and 1011308 BC entered into an amended and restated option agreement (the "Amended and Restated Option Agreement") amending and restating the terms of the Original Option Agreement. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Option Agreement, the Company has the right to acquire a 75% earned interest in the Charlotte Property by exercising the First Option, with a second option to acquire the remaining 25%.

For the purposes of the Company's requirement to incur the First Option Expenditure Amount, the Company and 1011308 BC have agreed that the expenditures in the amount of $1,034,835 incurred during the term of the Original Option Agreement shall be included in the calculation of the First Option Expenditure Amount.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Option Agreement, the right of the Company to exercise the Second Option and acquire an additional 25% earned interest (100% total) in the Charlotte Property is conditional upon the Company, on or before March 14, 2026: (i) having exercised the first option and, concurrently with the delivery of the First Option exercise notice, delivering written notice of the Company's intention to pursue the Second Option; (ii) the Company issuing an additional 10,000,000 common shares to 1011308 BC; (iii) the Company paying to 1011308 BC $200,000; and (iv) the Company delivering a mineral resource estimate report to 1011308 BC, prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial instruments

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

  • Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Cash, under the fair value hierarchy is based on Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Risk management

The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the financial statements are summarized below.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfill its contractual obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with major financial institutions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable 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. As at October 31, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $9,469 (October 31, 2023 - $293,485) to settle current liabilities of $153,358 (October 31, 2023 - $49,966). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than one year or due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company will need to raise capital through debt or equity issuances (note 1).

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, and foreign exchange rates. Such fluctuations may be significant.

i. Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash maintained at financial institutions is subject to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate risks on cash are not considered significant.

ii. Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency. As at October 31, 2024, the Company did not have any accounts in foreign currencies and considers foreign currency risk insignificant.

9. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In the management of capital, the Company monitors its adjusted capital which comprises all components of equity.

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue common shares through private placements. The Company is not exposed to any externally imposed capital requirements. The Company's overall strategy remains unchanged from July 31, 2024.
