TOWER RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the condensed interim financial statements For the three months ended January 31, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Nature of operations

Tower Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol TWR. The Company’s head office and principal address and registered and records office is located at 40440 Thunderbird Ridge B1831, Garibaldi Highlands, BC, V0N 1T0.

Going concern

The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral exploration and evaluation assets domiciled in Canada. The Company has not yet determined whether any of these exploration and evaluation assets contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and future profitable production. To date, the Company has not earned any revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage.

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception, and the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to raise adequate financing and/or to achieve profitable operations. These condensed interim financial statements do not include adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The continuation of the Company’s operations is dependent on obtaining sufficient additional financing in order to realize the recoverability of the Company’s investments in exploration and evaluation assets, which in turn is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves and market prices for the underlying minerals. These events and conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management closely monitors commodity prices of precious metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company if favourable or adverse market conditions occur.

There are many external factors that can adversely affect general workforces, economies and financial markets globally. Examples include, but are not limited to, the COVID-19 global pandemic and political conflict in other regions. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of these factors and their effects on the Company’s business or results of operations or its ability to raise funds.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. They do not include all disclosures required by IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") for annual financial statements, and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

These condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company on April 2, 2024.

Page 8

TOWER RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the condensed interim financial statements For the three months ended January 31, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited)

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Basis of presentation

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

Functional currency

The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. The reporting currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

Significant estimates

The preparation of these condensed interim 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 these financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the period.

Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Critical judgment exercised relates primarily to the application of the going concern basis of preparation.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustments are as follows:

Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation assets

Management has determined that exploration, evaluation, and related costs incurred which were capitalized may have future economic benefits and may be economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessment of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits, including geologic and other technical information, a history of conversion of mineral deposits with similar characteristics to its own properties to proven and probable mineral reserves, the quality and capacity of existing infrastructure facilities, evaluation of permitting and environmental issues and local support for the project.

Valuation of share-based compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of share-based compensation. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.

Significant judgments

Going concern

The Company has exercised judgment in determining that additional funds are likely to be required to continue operations for the ensuing twelve months.

TOWER RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the condensed interim financial statements For the three months ended January 31, 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited)

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These condensed interim financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023, except as noted below.

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments required that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy.

IAS 8, Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors

The amendments replaced the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The amendments clarify that a change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error.

The impact of adopting these amendments did not have a material impact on the condensed interim financial statements.

New standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards not yet effective

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued by the IASB but are not effective during the year ended October 31, 2024. These have not been applied in preparing these condensed interim financial statements. The standards and amendments to standards that would be applicable to the financial statements of the Company are the following:

The amendments clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

The Company anticipates that these amendments will not have a material impact on the results and financial position of the Company.

5. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

As at January 31, 2024, the Company held 2,181,250 (October 31, 2023 - 2,181,250) common shares of Volatus Capital Corp. (“Volatus”), with a fair value of $10,906 (October 31, 2023 - $10,906). The change in market value of the shares resulted in the recording of an unrealized loss on marketable securities for the three months ended January 31, 2024 of $nil (January 31, 2023 - $1,781).

RABBIT NORTH PROPERTY

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Rabbit North property, comprised of certain mineral claims, located in the Kamloops mining division of British Columbia. The Company acquired the property by making cash payments of $170,000, issuing 1,300,000 common shares, and funding aggregate exploration expenditures of $2,150,000.

The property is subject to a 3% NSR in favour of the optionors, of which 1% of the 3% may be purchased by the Company for $2,000,000 and the second 1% of the 3% may be purchased by the Company for $1,500,000. In March 2017, the Company entered into a royalty buyback assignment agreement with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) pursuant to which it assigned to Sandstorm the Company’s right to purchase the second 1% of the Company’s 2% buyback rights with respect to the optionors’ NSR. If the Company makes a decision to develop the Rabbit North property and put it into production, the Company has agreed to exercise its right to buy back 1% of the NSR, contingent upon Sandstorm exercising its right to buy back the second 1% (as assigned to it), whereupon the Company will grant directly to Sandstorm a 1% NSR. As at January 31, 2024, the Company had paid a total of $180,000 in advance annual royalty payments.

NECHAKO GOLD PROPERTY

In July 2016, the Company entered into two property option agreements (Porphyry and Chutanli) under which it was granted the right to acquire mineral tenures in the Nechako Plateau region of central British Columbia. The Company fully exercised the options and now owns a 100% interest in these property properties. Details are as follows:

7. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

MORE CREEK PROPERTY (continued)

On August 21, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement with Volatus, pursuant to which the Company granted to Volatus the right to acquire its 100% interest in and to the More Creek property (the “More Option”). To exercise the More Option and earn a 100% interest, Volatus was required to make a total of $150,000 in payments (of which Volatus must pay $50,000 in cash and, at its option, pay up to $100,000 in cash or shares of Volatus) ($50,000 cash received and 1,000,000 shares, valued at $35,000, received in lieu of $50,000 cash as at October 31, 2023), issue 25,000 common shares (received, valued at $39,000), and complete $600,000 in exploration expenditures over a 40‐ month period. The Company will retain a 1% NSR of which 0.5% can be repurchased by Volatus for $500,000. In fiscal 2023, the More Option was terminated. In accordance with the termination of the More Option, Volatus agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares (received, valued at $10,000) and pay $85,000. The $85,000 bears interest at 10% per annum and is due on or before November 1, 2025 and is guaranteed by a promissory note. The amount has been recorded however the Company has taken a full allowance against it, due to the uncertainty of collection; the $85,000 remains outstanding.

During the three months ended January 31, 2024, the Company recorded an amount for the More Option of $nil (2023 - $35,000), in recovery on exploration and evaluation assets.

BELLE PROPERTY

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Belle property located in the Omineca mining division of British Columbia. The property is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”), of which 1% can be purchased by the Company for $2,000,000.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. 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’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, marketable securities, reclamation bonds, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, except for marketable securities, which are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs.

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities including credit, liquidity, interest rate, foreign currency and price risk.

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to industry credit risks arising from its cash holdings and receivables. The Company manages credit risk by placing cash with major Canadian financial institutions. The Company’s receivables are primarily due from a government agency. The Company’s receivables also include an amount owed from Volatus; an allowance for the full balance has been recorded. Management believes that credit risk related to these amounts is nominal.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they are due. To manage liquidity risk, the Company reviews additional sources of capital and financing to continue its operations and discharge its commitments. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As of January 31, 2024, the Company held deposits with a face value of $68,000. A 1% increase or decrease in the interest rates would have a nominal impact in interest income for the three months ended January 31, 2024.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is not significantly exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to items that are denominated in a foreign currency.

Price risk

The Company has limited exposure to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities.

15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

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 of exploration and evaluation assets. The Board of Directors does 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 Company defines capital that it manages as share capital, options and warrants.

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. 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. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital restrictions. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s objectives, policies, and processes for managing its capital during the three months ended January 31, 2024.
