TOCVAN VENTURES CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited; Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 23, 2018, under the Alberta Business Corporations Act. On March 1, 2019, the Company’s shares started trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “TOC”.
The Company’s head office address is Suite 820 – 1130 West Pender St., Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4A4 Canada. The registered and records office address is Suite 1150, 707 - 7th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 3H6 Canada.
On September 15, 2020, the Company incorporated, under the laws of Mexico, a wholly-owned subsidiary, Burgencio S.A. de C.V. (“Burgencio”). Burgencio’s office address is Blvd. Morelos No, 639,Col. Bachoco, C.P. 83148, Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. At November 30, 2023, the Company had not yet determined whether its properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets and related deferred exploration costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production from the exploration and evaluation assets or proceeds from the disposition of the exploration and evaluation asset.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the going concern assumption, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. At November 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,913,182 (August 31, 2023 – $6,769,646) and is expected to incur further losses. The Company will require additional equity financing to continue developing its business and to meet its obligations. While the Company has been successful at raising additional equity financing in the past, there is no guarantee that it will continue to do so in the future, which results in a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These adjustments could be material.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
a) Statement of compliance and basis of presentation
Basis of Preparation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (”IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretation of the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”).
5
TOCVAN VENTURES CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited; Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated, the reporting currency of the Company.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on January 29, 2024.
Basis of consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Burgencio. The financial statements of Burgencio are included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements from the date that control commenced until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiary to bring its accounting policies in-line with those used by the Company.
The functional currency of Burgencio is the Canadian dollar, which is determined to be the currency of the primary economic environment in which Burgencio operates.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
b) Use of estimates, assumptions and judgments
The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting year. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to provisions for restoration and environmental obligations and contingent liabilities, share-based compensation, deferred taxes, and the valuation and remeasurement of the financing transactions (Note 4).
The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments applying to the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements include:
-
1) the classification/allocation of expenses as exploration and evaluation expenditures or operating expenses; 2) the determination that the Company will continue as a going concern for the next years;
-
3) the determination whether there have been any events or changes in circumstances that indicate the impairment of its exploration and evaluation assets; and
-
4) classification of financial instruments issued in the financing transactions as liabilities or equity (Note 4).
3. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Title to exploration and evaluation assets
Title to exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) asset interests involve certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral claims. The Company has investigated title to its exploration and evaluation asset and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its interests are in good standing.

However, this should not be construed as a guarantee of title. The concessions may be subject to prior claims, agreements or transfers and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.

TOCVAN VENTURES CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited; Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
The Pilar Agreement also gives the Company an option to acquire the remaining 49% interest in the Pilar Project within a six-month period after it acquired 51% ownership, or establish a joint venture agreement with Colibri. The option to acquire the additional interest requires a $2,000,000 cash payment and granting Colibri a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”), 1% of which can be repurchased for an additional cash payment of $1,000,000. The Company intends to exercise its option to acquire the remaining 49%.
Pilar Landholding Expansion
On October 17, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “SV Agreement”) with Suaqui Verde Properties (“SVP”), a private owner, for an option to acquire 100% interest in a 2,172.72-hectare contiguous land immediately adjacent and north of Pilar Project. Under the terms of the SV Agreement, the Company will be required to pay a total of US$4,000,000 in cash, issue 2,500,000 common shares and spend US$1,000,000 in exploration work on the property within a five-year period. The vendor of the property will retain a 2% NSR. After the five-year period, the Company can elect to extend the Agreement by another ten years by starting advance royalty payments or purchase full title ownership through additional payment of US$500,000. The additional acquisition expanded Pilar Project area from 105 hectares to 2,277.72 hectares.
A summary of the commitments to be fulfilled on the acquisition is as follows:

El Picacho Project, Sonora, Mexico
On June 7, 2021, the Company signed a letter of commitment to purchase the El Picacho Project (“El Picacho Project”) from Recursos Millrock S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Millrock”) a Mexican corporation. On signing of the letter of commitment the Company made an initial payment of $94,196 (US$78,000).
On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into an assignment agreement with Millrock for an initial five-year option to acquire the El Picacho property from the property owners, Suarez Brothers, within the Caborca Orogenic Gold Belt in Sonora, Mexico. El Picacho consists of 12 mining concessions totaling 2,395.33 hectares.
To acquire 100% interest in the El Picacho Project, the Company is required to pay Suarez Brothers US$1,985,600 and an additional payment of US$60,000 will be required to gain surface rights to use the Picacho Ranch. Both payments are to be paid in a series of instalments ending on April 1, 2026. Millrock is to retain a 2% NSR with the option for the Company to purchase back 1% for US$1,000,000. Upon full execution of the Option Agreement and completion of all cash payments, an Annual Advance Minimum Royalty (“AAMR”) of US$25,000 will be paid to Millrock, doubling each year until the start of production. AAMR payments will be subtracted from royalty payments on commencement of production.

On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into a financing transaction with Sorbie Bornholm LP (“Sorbie”) whereby the Company agreed to issue 3,200,000 units (the “Sorbie Unit”) and 2,809 convertible notes with a face value of $1,000 per note (the “Sorbie Notes”) in exchange for 24 monthly cash payments (the “Monthly Settlements”) that were measured against a benchmark price of $1.10 per share (the “Benchmark”) with a set number of shares totaling $5,125,000 at Benchmark (the “Sorbie Transaction”) (Note 9).
The actual Monthly Settlements are determined based on a volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for 20 trading days prior to the Monthly Settlements. If the measured share price exceeds the Benchmark for the Monthly Settlements, the Company will receive more than 100% of the expected Monthly Settlements. However, should the share price be below the Benchmark, the Company will receive less than 100% of the Monthly Settlements.
Each Sorbie Unit consists of one common share and one warrant entitling Sorbie to purchase one additional common share at a price of $1.20 until June 28, 2025. The Sorbie Notes mature on June 28, 2025, can be converted, at discretion of the note holder, into 1,220 common shares per Sorbie Note. The Sorbie Notes pay non-

compounding interest at 1% per year, which is payable annually in common shares. In connection with the Sorbie Notes, the Company issued 1,713,490 detachable warrants that entitle Sorbie to purchase one additional common share at a price of $1.30 until June 28, 2025, and an additional 1,713,490 detachable warrants that entitle Sorbie to purchase one additional common share at a price of $1.40 until June 28, 2025.
To determine the fair value of the Monthly Settlements the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation.
Based on the terms of the Monthly Settlements, the Company calculated the expected future VWAP share price at each Monthly Settlement, multiplied by the number of predetermined shares per the payment schedule and then discounted using the risk‐free rate to determine the present value of the future cash flows.
As at November 30, 2023, and August 31, 2023, the fair value of expected cash flows was calculated using the following assumptions:
| November 30, | August 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| As at | 2023 | 2023 |
| Benchmark price | $1.10 | $1.10 |
| Total number of remaining Settlements(1) | 7 | 10 |
| Share price on the valuation date | $0.43 | $0.57 |
| Volatility | 60.54% | 75% |
| Risk-free rate | 4.20% | 5.13% |
| Fair value of expected cash flows | $548,901 | $1,040,585 |
(1) The Monthly Settlements were valued based on 182,806 shares, with the final Monthly Settlement valued based on 182,804 shares.
To determine the allocation of the fair value of the Monthly Settlements, the Company analyzed Sorbie Units and Sorbie Notes under guidance available under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments . IFRS requires that the terms of a convertible instrument are analyzed, and each component separately accounted for according to the definitions of financial liability and equity. The Company determined that Sorbie Notes and the warrants that were issued as part of the Sorbie Notes and Sorbie Units were liability, therefore the fair values of future Monthly Settlements were allocated first to the Sorbie Notes, then to the warrants with the remaining value allocated to the shares issued as part of the Sorbie Units.
As at November 30, 2023, and August 31, 2023, Sorbie Notes, Warrants, and Shares issued as part of Sorbie Units were valued as follows:
| November 30 | August 31, | |
|---|---|---|

| Warrants to acquire up to 3,200,000 Shares at $1.20 per Share | 114,621 | 324,350 |
| 3,200,000 Shares issued as part of the Sorbie Units | – | – |
| Total | $1,327,999 | $ 2,579,094 |
(1) At November 30, 2023, the Company recorded $6,428 in interest expense on Sorbie Notes (2023 - $7,004) and had issued 59,137 common shares for the settlement of one-year accrued interest of $28,090.
On November 1, 2023, Sorbie converted 700 Sorbie Notes into 854,000 Shares of the Company at $0.82 per share resulting in realized loss of $320,250. A total of $2,398 in interest accrued on 700 Sorbie Notes was converted into 5,387 common shares; these shares were issued on December 12, 2023 (Note 9).

The remaining 2,109 Sorbie Notes can also be settled into shares of the Company at the election of Sorbie at any time, and therefore were determined to be current liability and valued based on the fair market value of the Company’s shares measured initially on the date of the transaction with a deemed price at $0.82, and subsequently remeasured using the market value of the Company’s shares on November 30, 2023, being $0.43 (2023 - $0.56). At November 30, 2023, the Company recognized $466,967 unrealized gain (2023 – $394,103 gain) on revaluation of Sorbie Notes to their fair market value.
The warrants issued as part of the Sorbie Transaction had a fair value of $212,662 (2023 – $620,790) and were valued based on the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following assumptions:

The Company recognized $408,128 as unrealized gain (2023 – $320,446) on revaluation of the Sorbie warrants to their fair market value.
As at November 30, 2023, the Company has recorded a total of $275,088 in Monthly Settlements (2023 – $292,217) representing three Monthly Settlements, of which $287,939 was received during the period ended November 30, 2023, including receivable recorded in the previous period of $94,639. The November Monthly Settlement of $81,788 was recorded as receivable as it was received subsequent to November 30, 2023. The difference between each Monthly Settlement’s fair value as at the initial recognition on June 28, 2022, and the actual Monthly Settlement received is recorded through profit and loss as realized gain or loss for the period. For the period ended November 30, 2023, the Company recorded a realized loss on settlement of $174,657 (2023 – $158,870).
At November 30, 2023, the fair value of the remaining seven Monthly Settlements was determined to be $548,901 (2023 – $1,040,585, being the fair value of ten Monthly Settlements to be received). The difference between the initial valuation of the Monthly Settlements and their value as at the reporting date is recorded in the profit and loss statement as unrealized gain or loss on the financial asset. As at November 30, 2023, the Company recognized $41,939 as unrealized loss (2023 – $263,395 loss) on the financial asset.
April 5, 2023, Equity Swap Agreement with Sorbie Bornholm LP
On April 5, 2023, Tocvan entered into a financing transaction (the “April Sorbie Transaction”) with Sorbie whereby the Company agreed to issue 1,102,941 units (the “April Sorbie Units”) for a total consideration of $600,000. The units consisted of one common share priced at $0.544 and one-half share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.68 until April 5, 2026. In addition, the Company settled the financing fee of $36,000 by issuing 66,177 common shares and 33,088 share purchase warrants with terms similar to April Sorbie Units. A total of 1,169,118 common shares and 584,559 share purchase warrants were issued to Sorbie for the financing arrangement entered on April 5, 2023.
Furthermore, on April 5, 2023, the Company entered into an equity swap arrangement under a Sharing Agreement with Sorbie to allow settlement provisions for $600,000 to be paid out within a year in 12 monthly tranches of $50,000 with equivalent number of settlement shares at 68,965 per month totaling 827,586 shares (the 12[th ] month number of shares to be at 68,971). The monthly amounts to be paid out depend on how the Company’s share price varies against a benchmark price (“Benchmark”) set at $0.725. The monthly share price is calculated by using the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s share price within 20-trading days prior to settlement date multiplied by the number of settlement shares. If the VWAP of the Company’s price is less than
11
TOCVAN VENTURES CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited; Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
the Benchmark price, the Company will receive less than 100% of the monthly cash settlement of $50,000 on a pro rata basis and if the VWAP of the Company’s price is more than the Benchmark price, the Company will receive more than 100% of the monthly cash settlement of $50,000. The number of settlement shares will not fluctuate and will remain constant at each settlement date.
To determine the fair value of the April Sorbie Settlements the Company uses a Monte Carlo Simulation.
Based on the terms of the April Sorbie Settlements, the Company calculated the expected future VWAP of the Company’s share price at each April Sorbie Settlement date, multiplied by the number of predetermined shares per the payment schedule and then discounted using the risk‐free rate to determine the present value of the future cash flows.
As at November 30, 2023, and August 31, 2023, the fair value of expected cash flows was calculated using the following assumptions:
| As at | November 30, | August 31, |

| Volatility | 56% | 70% |
| Risk-free rate | 4.20% | 5.12% |
| Fairvalue of expected cash flows | $148,204 | $314,655 |
(1) The fair value of expected cash flows was valued based on April Sorbie Settlements of 68,965 shares, with the final April Sorbie Settlement valued based on 68,971 shares.
To determine the allocation of the fair value of the April Sorbie Settlements, the Company analyzed April Sorbie Units under guidance available under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 32. The Company determined that April Sorbie Warrants were liability, therefore the fair values of future Monthly Settlements were allocated first to the April Sorbie Warrants with the remaining value allocated to the shares issued as part of the April Sorbie Units.
As at November 30, 2023, and August 31, 2023, the Warrants and Shares issued as part of April Sorbie Units were valued as follows:

9. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
In connection with the Sorbie Transaction (Note 4), the Company issued a total of 2,809 convertible notes with a face value of $1,000 per Sorbie Note for a total of $2,810,124 maturing on June 28, 2025. Each Sorbie Note has a coupon rate of 1% per annum, non-compounding, and is payable in common shares. Each note is convertible into 1,220 common shares. The Sorbie Notes can be converted to shares at discretion of Sorbie, provided that notice in writing setting out the number of Sorbie Notes to be converted and the proposed date for conversion is given to the Company at least five business days prior to the proposed date for conversion. In addition, the Sorbie Notes cannot be redeemed prior to the maturity date, when they automatically convert to Common Shares of the Company.
The Company determined that, since the consideration receivable for Sorbie Notes cannot be readily determined, and due to convertibility of the Sorbie Notes at the discretion of Sorbie at any time after the close of the Sorbie Transaction and before their maturity date, the fair value of these notes should be recorded as current liability with any changes in the fair value being recognized as profit or loss.
At November 30, 2023, the Company recognized unrealized gain of $466,967 (2023 – $394,103 gain) on revaluation of the Sorbie Notes, which resulted from the decrease of the Company’s share price from $0.57 at August 31, 2023, to $0.43 on November 30, 2023. The Company recorded a realized loss of $320,250 upon exercise of 700 Sorbie Notes on November 1, 2023. The total interest of $2,398 accrued on the 700 Sorbie Notes up to November 1, 2023, was converted into 5,387 common shares at a deemed price of $0.445. These shares were issued on December 12, 2023. At November 30, 2023, the Company recorded a total of $6,428 (2023 – $7,003) in interest expense relating to the remaining Sorbie Notes for the three-month period ended November 30, 2023, with total accrued interest of $8,956 (2023 – $4,925).

11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers its capital to consist of shareholders’ equity. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the development of its businesses and maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. This is done primarily through debt and equity financing. Future financings are dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise funds in the future. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
a. Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and due to related parties classified at amortized cost. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values because of their current nature. The financial asset, debenture payable, and warrants payable, are all classified at FVTPL. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are revalued at each reporting date based on the three levels of a fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments:
| November 30, | August 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2023 | |
| Financial assets at amortized cost (i) | $ 480,750 | $ 155,684 |
| Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (ii) | $ 697,105 | $ 1,355,240 |
| Financial liabilities at amortized cost (iii) | $ 1,197,406 | $ 885,390 |
| Financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit and loss(iv) | $1,408,022 | $2,735,739 |
(i) Cash and amounts receivable
(ii) Monthly Settlements resulting from Sorbie Transactions (Note 4) (iii) Due to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
(iv) Sorbie Notes and warrants payable issued to Sorbie as a result of Sorbie Transactions (Notes 4, 8 and 9)
b. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, which is held with a high credit quality financial institution, Monthly Settlements receivable as a result of Sorbie Transactions, and to a smaller extent GST receivable from the Government of Canada.

c. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined above.
The Company monitors its ability to meet its short-term exploration and operating expenditures by raising additional funds through share issuances when required. The Sorbie Notes mature on June 28, 2025 (Notes 4 and 9) however, Sorbie may convert to shares at any time. The warrants payable can only be settled in shares. The Company’s other financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.
d. Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company has financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, does own foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities.
e. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that arises from fluctuating interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
f. Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors the commodity prices of precious metals and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. The Company is exposed to equity price risk since Sorbie Monthly Settlements are affected by the movement of the Company’s share price.
