WALKER RIVER RESOURCES CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2024 (EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS) (Unaudited)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUATIOIN OF OPERATIONS
Walker River Resources Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act ( British Columbia ) on December 16, 2010. The principal business of the Company is the identification, evaluation, acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the symbol WRR.
The address of the Company’s registered records office and its principal place of business is 820 – 1130 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4A4 Canada.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND GOING CONCERN
a) Statement of compliance
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed financial statements, prepared in conformity with IAS 34, follow the same accounting principles and methods of application as the most recent audited consolidated financial statements. Since these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2023.
b) Going concern
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were 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. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company has negative cash flow from operations and recurring operating losses and, as at that date, has an accumulated deficit of $11,840,715. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to obtain sufficient financing and the success of its exploration activities. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs with loans from directors and companies controlled by directors and/or issuance of common shares. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on its statement of financial position.
c) Functional currency
The functional and presentation currency of the Company and its subsidiary is the Canadian dollar.
d) Principles of consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Walker River Resources LLC, incorporated in the state of Nevada.
Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated.
e) Measurement basis
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim
Page | 5
WALKER RIVER RESOURCES CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2024 (EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS) (Unaudited)
consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK
IFRS 13, Fair-Value Measurement , establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
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).
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, other receivables, reclamation bond, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties. The carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair values due to the relatively short periods of maturity of these instruments.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, other receivables, reclamation bond, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
(i) Currency risk
The Company’s expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars, except for certain exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred during the year which are denominated in US dollars. The Company’s corporate office is based in Canada and current exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is minimal. As at August 31, 2024, the Company had $165,671 (US$122,802) due to its vendors who bill in US$. As at August 31, 2024, the Company had a total of $259,876 (US$192,629) in US$ that were on deposit with major banks in US and Canada.
(ii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. At August 31, 2024, the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is considered minimal.
(iii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. As at August 31, 2024, the Company did not have any loans or advances receivable that were outstanding. The Company is also exposed to credit risk on its cash. To minimize the credit risk on cash the Company places the instrument with major financial institutions.
(iv) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. In the management of liquidity risk, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations.

$ | 64,411 |
(v) Commodity Price Risk
The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of mineral resources. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of actions to be taken.

5. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Lapon Gold Project, Nevada
The Company owns 100% of the Lapon Gold Project, which is comprised of 147 claims, and includes the Lapon Canyon Project, the Rattlesnake Project, and the Pikes Peak Project. The previous owner of the Lapon Canyon portion of the Lapon Gold Project retained a 1% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”). The Company had an option to buy the NSR for $300,000. In May of 2024, Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (“Nevada Canyon”) purchased the 1% NSR from the previous owner, as the Company chose not to exercise its NSR buy-out option.
On May 24, 2024, the Company entered into a royalty purchase agreement with Nevada Canyon to sell a 2% NSR on the Lapon Canyon portion of the Lapon Gold Project for $409,140 (US$300,000). In addition, on June 12, 2024, the Company sold to Nevada Canyon a 2% NSR on Pikes Peak Project for $205,500 (US$150,000).
Total costs incurred on the Lapon Gold Project are summarized as follows:

In addition to the above costs, the US federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requires the Company to post a bond of US$23,070 (CAD$31,124) on its Lapon Canyon Project to cover future decommissioning costs, and a bond of US$17,353 (CAD$23,411) on its Rattlesnake Project to cover future decommissioning costs.
Subsequent to August 31, 2024, BLM refunded the $17,353 reclamation bond posted for Rattlesnake Project, as it was determined that the Company had fulfilled its obligations under the reclamation requirements on the Rattlesnake Project.
