(an exploration stage enterprise) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (expressed in Canadian dollars)

EROS RESOURCES CORP.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Eros Resources Corp.'s ("Eros" or the "Company") principal business activities include the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral and oil and gas resource properties in North America. The Company’s corporate office is located at Suite 420, 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1H2. Eros is a Tier 1 company and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with IFRS under the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company’s continuing operations, as intended, are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition of or participation in an interest in properties, assets or businesses.

The business of mining and exploring for minerals and oil and gas reserves involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34”), Interim Financial Reporting.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eros and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Anthem Resources Incorporated (“Anthem”) and Otish Minerals Ltd., both companies incorporated in British Columbia, and Bell Mountain Exploration Corp. (“Bell Mountain”), a company incorporated in Nevada, USA. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Basis of measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ functional currency.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

3. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Market risk

Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk. Market risk to which the Company is exposed is as follows:

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

  • (i) To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

  • (ii) To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. A significant change in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar could have an effect on the Company’s future results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. As at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar:

June 30, 2023 June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
US $ CDN $ US $ CDN $
Cash 6,754 9,469 6,038 8,1778
Accounts payable (39,382) (53,413) (76,611) (103,363)

Based on the above, assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would have increased the Company’s loss by $3,263 (2022 - $7,057). A weakening of the Canadian dollar would have had the opposite effect.

Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company’s marketable securities are carried at market value or fair value based on observable market values and are therefore directly affected by fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Changes in market prices of securities in the portfolio have a material effect on net income (loss). A 20% increase in the market prices would have decreased the Company’s net loss by $1,648,900 (2022 - $2,232,098).

Realization of exploration and evaluation assets

The investment in and expenditures on exploration and evaluation assets comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon the establishment and maintenance of legal ownership, the attainment of successful production from the properties or from the proceeds of their disposal.

Mineral exploration and development is highly speculative and involves inherent risks. While the rewards if an ore body is discovered can be substantial, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in the discovery of economically viable quantities of ore. There can be no assurance that compensation will be received for properties that have been or may be expropriated. The amounts shown for acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures represent costs incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future

values. These costs will be depleted over the useful lives of the properties upon commencement of commercial production or written off if the properties are abandoned or if the claims are allowed to lapse.

Title to exploration and evaluation interests

Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves 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 conveyance history of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to its mineral property interests in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, and, to the best of its knowledge, title to its properties are in good standing; however, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Environmental

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest.

The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company.

Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the properties may be diminished or negated.

a. Nevada

In August 2016, the Department of the Navy of the United States Department of Defense (the “Navy”) issued a notice of its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) regarding a proposed expansion of the Fallon Range Training Complex, including a proposed withdrawal and reservation of military use of public lands. The Company’s Bell Mountain Project consists of unpatented mining claims that are located on federal lands within the proposed expansion area. As a result, surface activity on the Bell Mountain site has been prohibited by the Navy during the EIS period.

On July 10, 2018, the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) announced that it has submitted an application to withdraw 769,724 acres for land management evaluation purposes for up to four years from all forms of appropriation under public land laws, subject to valid existing rights. The purpose of the withdrawal is to maintain current environmental baseline conditions, relative to mineral exploration and development, subject to valid existing rights, in support of a possible legislative transfer of land to the Department of Navy in furtherance of the Navy’s proposed expansion of the Fallon Range Training Complex.

However, in a subsequent notice issued in August 2018, containing a specific listings of the lands subject to the moratorium, the properties held by Eros were specifically excluded from the moratorium, allowing the Company to again commence exploration activities.

a. Nevada (continued)

Bell Mountain Property

The Company has earned 100% ownership of the Bell Mountain gold-silver property. An Advance Royalty Payment of $20,000 is due annually on June 15 until such time as there is production from the property (paid during the year ended December 31, 2021). In conjunction with the updated notice from the BLM in August of 2018 which exempts the Bell Mountain project from the moratorium on exploration activities, the Company is once again actively exploring its Nevada properties.

Hatchet Lake and Murphy Lake Joint Ventures

The Company has an interest in a joint venture property with Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) as operator, located on the Wollaston Trend at the northeast margin of the Athabasca Basin. Eros holds a 29.89% joint venture interest for Hatchet Lake with further dilution expected.

Wollaston Trend

12. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

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 mineral properties, oil and gas exploration and development, and other strategic investments. 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 as shareholders’ equity. The Company is not exposed to any capital requirements.

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 properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. In addition, the Company evaluates investment opportunities, as well as existing investments, for suitability and potential on an ongoing basis. 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’s capital risk management approach was unchanged in the six-months ended June 30, 2023. There were no capital restrictions in the period ended June 30, 2023 and the Company had no debt aside from trade payables, margin loan payable, income taxes and lease liability.

13. COMMITMENTS

In fiscal 2014, there was an involuntary disposition of the Company’s Canadian mineral property for which the Company received $26,400,000 from the Government of British Columbia. In fiscal 2014, the Company elected to defer $15,147,419 of the proceeds as income inclusion under s.59.1 election of the Income Tax Act. The elected amount can be offset by Canadian exploration expenses, Canadian development expenses and/or Canadian oil and gas property expenses (collectively referred to as “Mineral Property Expenses”). If the amount cannot be offset by 2024, the Company will have to include the remaining elected amount as income in the 2014 income tax return. As at December 31, 2021, the Company has a further $3,480,000 to spend on qualified Mineral Property Expenses by 2024 in order to avoid the income inclusion under s.59.1 election.

As at June 30, 2023, the Company was committed to pay for office premises leases expiring in January 2022; however, there was an extension agreement entered into during the year to extend the lease until January 31, 2025. The Company’s minimum lease payments over the next years, in aggregate, will be as follows:
