VENDETTA MINING CORP.

Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - expressed in Canadian dollars)

Three months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023

1. Nature of operations and going concern:

Vendetta Mining Corp. (“the Company” or “Vendetta”) was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on December 14, 2009. The Company is in the business of exploration and evaluation of mineral resources in Australia. Its common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol VTT. The Company’s registered address is: Suite 1500 – 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1T2.

The Company is an exploration stage company and engages principally in the acquisition and exploration of resource properties. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is ultimately dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, obtaining necessary financing to explore and develop the properties, entering into agreements with others to explore and develop the resource properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the resource properties. The amounts shown as exploration and evaluation assets represent net costs incurred to date, less amounts recovered from third parties and/or written-off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.

These Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and settle its obligations in the normal course of business.

The Company has a history of losses with no operating revenue, other than interest income, working capital deficiency of $985,360, and has an accumulated deficit of $24,125,261. The ability of the Company to carry out its planned business objectives is dependent on its ability to raise adequate financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors and/or generate operating profitability and positive cash flow. There can be no assurances that the Company will continue to obtain additional financial resources necessary and/or achieve profitability or positive cash flows. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, the Company will be required to curtail operations, exploration and evaluation activities and there would be significant uncertainty whether the Company would continue as a going concern and realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company estimates that it does not have sufficient funding for the ensuing 12 months of operations. These events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These Condensed Interim Financial Statements do not reflect adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - expressed in Canadian dollars)

Three months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023

2. Basis of presentation:

(a) Basis of presentation:

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounts Standards (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies and methods of computation applied are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2024.

Unless otherwise stated, amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.

These condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on October 29, 2024.

  • (b) Foreign currency transactions:

The presentation currency and functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Transactions of the Company denominated in other currencies are translated into the relevant functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect exchange rates prevailing at that date and the related foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.

3. Use of estimates and judgments:

The preparation of the financial statements 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 reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impact of such estimates is pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the financial position reporting date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

Three months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023

3. Use of estimates and judgments (continued):

Critical accounting judgments

Examples of significant judgments, apart from those involving estimation, include:

Exploration and evaluation assets

The recognition of exploration and evaluation assets requires judgments regarding future recoverability and carrying cost. The cost model is utilized and the value of the exploration and evaluation assets is based on the acquisition expenditures incurred. At every reporting period, management assesses the potential impairment which involves assessing whether or not facts or circumstances exist that suggest the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Functional currency

The Company applied judgment in determining its functional currency. The functional currency determination was conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

6. Exploration and evaluation assets:

The Company’s resource property with associated acquisition-related costs that has been capitalized and reflected on the statement of financial position is as follows:

Pegmont
Queensland, Australia
Balance,May 31, 2023,May 31, 2024,and August 31, 2024 $ 6,011,183

Pegmont Property, Queensland, Australia

As at May 31, 2019, the Company has earned a 100% interest in the Pegmont Property having paid option payments of AUD$2,250,000 (CAD$2,208,980), met expenditure requirements of $2,400,000, and drilled 17,000m to earn its interest. In connection with the Company exercising the option and as part of the final transfer of project titles, the Company also paid an advance royalty to Pegmont of AUD$3 million (CAD$2,824,200) and extension fees totaling AUD$450,000 (CAD$425,545) during the year ended May 31, 2019 to fully satisfy remaining requirements and complete its 100% acquisition of the Pegmont property. The Company received a royalty credit of the cash option payments of AUD$2.25 million and advanced royalty of AUD$3 million for a total of AUD$5.25 million, to be credited against future royalty payments.

The property is subject to a 1.25% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”), subject to the credit of AUD$5.0 million in favour of the Company. In the case where ore is sold rather than concentrate, a separate royalty formula allows for a royalty of AUD$1.05 per tonne of ore sold, indexed to lead prices and to be conveyed to the vendor, again subject to the AUD$5.0 million credit. Where ore that is sold contains silver at concentrations above 64 ppm, an additional royalty amount is payable, starting at AUD$0.06 per gram, indexed to the price of silver.

Killer Bore Property, Queensland, Australia

During the year ended May 31, 2022, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% of the Killer Bore exploration concession in Australia, located near its Pegmont Property. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company may acquire a 100% interest in the property by making the following minimum work commitments:

  • a) $102,000 on exploration expenditures prior to the end of the 2[nd] anniversary (incurred during the year ended May 31, 2023); and

  • b) $398,000 on exploration expenditure between the start of the 3rd anniversary and prior to the end of the 5th Anniversary;

The Company shall grant the optionor a 2% NSR over the property. During the year ended May 31, 2024, the option agreement was terminated.

12. Financial instruments:

The carrying values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and lease liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short terms to maturity.

  • (a) Financial risk factors:

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counterparties may be unable to fulfill their commitments to the Company. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and receivables. The carrying value of this instrument represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company manages and limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company does not have financial assets that are invested in asset backed commercial paper. Receivables are primarily due from a government agency.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities in full. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure, as outlined in Note 12(b) of these financial statements. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk.

The Company’s functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company incurs foreign currency risk on purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company, which will have an impact on the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets, liabilities and the amount of shareholders’ equity. The Company’s main risks are associated with fluctuations in the Australian dollar due to transactions related to the Pegmont project.

Foreign assets and liabilities are translated based on the foreign currency translation method described in Note 2(b). A 10% change in the foreign exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. and Australian dollar would result in a fluctuation of approximately $4,646 in the net loss realized for the period. The Company does not enter into any foreign exchange hedging contracts.

(b) Capital management:

The Company’s objectives of capital management are intended to safeguard the Company’s ability to support the Company’s exploration and evaluation of its resource properties and support any expansion plans. The capital of the Company consists of the items included in shareholders’ equity.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company’s underlying assets. To effectively manage the entity’s capital requirements, the Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its financial objectives. The Company may issue new shares or seek debt financing to ensure that there is sufficient working capital to meet its shortterm business requirements. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period.
