WEST MINING CORP. (FORMERLY IRONWOOD CAPITAL CORP.) Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

West Mining Corp. (formerly Ironwood Capital Corp.) (the “Company” or “West”) was incorporated under the Company Act of British Columbia on August 28, 2017. On November 4, 2020, the Company changed its name to West Mining Corp. The Company’s registered and records office is located at 3500-1055 Dunsmuir Street PO Box 49114, Vancouver, British Columbia V7X 1H7.

On November 4, 2020, the Company completed its Qualifying Transaction, under which West has acquired all right, title and interest in, to and under an option and joint venture agreement respecting the Kagoot Brook Property (the "Transaction"). See Note 3. On December 7, 2020 the Company’s common shares began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the trading symbol “WEST”.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise adequate funding through equity or debt financings to discharge its liabilities as they come due. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company.

In March 2020, there was a global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19. The actual and threatened spread of the virus globally has had a material adverse effect on the global economy and specifically, the regional economies in which the Company operates. The pandemic could result in delays in the course of business and could have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company’s shares and its ability to raise new capital.

These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, the Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, asset realization values may be substantially different from their carrying values. Carrying values as shown in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

a) Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting , using the same accounting policies as detailed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020. They do not include all the information required for complete annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") and therefore should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for year ended October 31, 2020.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the board of directors for issue on September 27, 2021.

b) Basis of presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

c) Consolidation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and wholly-owned subsidiaries subject to control by the Company, 2125839 Alberta Inc., Pilgrim Exploration Corp., Folkestone Mining Corp. and 1994854 Alberta Ltd.

Control is achieved when the Company has the power to, directly or indirectly, govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Intercompany balances, transactions and unrealized intercompany gains and losses are eliminated upon consolidation.

d) Foreign currencies

The presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the Company, 2125839 Alberta Inc., Pilgrim Exploration Corp., Folkestone Mining Corp. and 1994854 Alberta Ltd. is the Canadian dollar.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary

19

WEST MINING CORP. (FORMERLY IRONWOOD CAPITAL CORP.) Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are charged to profit or loss.

3. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

a) Qualifying Transaction respecting the Kagoot Brook Property

On November 4, 2020, the Company completed the Transaction, under which the Company has acquired all right, title and interest in, to and under an option and joint venture agreement with respect to the Kagoot Brook Property (the "Kagoot Brook Property") located near Bathhurst, New Brunswick, comprised of one mineral tenure covering 4,233 hectares.

On May 11, 2020, the Company entered into a sale, assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assumption Agreement”) with Origen Resources Inc. (“Origen”) in connection with the purchase and assumption by the Company of all of Origen’s right and interest under an option and joint venture agreement (the “Underlying Agreement”) dated May 10, 2018, as amended January 7, 2020, with Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (“Great Atlantic”).

As consideration for the Assumption Agreement, the Company has issued an aggregate of 500,000 common shares to Origen on November 4, 2020, valued at $90,000. Pursuant to the Underlying Agreement, the Company has the right to earn (the "Option") a 75% interest in the Kagoot Brook Property. To successfully exercise the Option, the optionee is required to: (a) incur a total of $650,000 in exploration expenditures on or before May 10, 2022; and (b) make aggregate cash payments of $110,000 to Great Atlantic, as follows: $30,000 by May 23, 2020 (paid by Origen); $30,000 by January 23, 2021 (paid); and $50,000 ($28,500 paid) by January 23, 2022.

Once the Option has been exercised, the Kagoot Brook Property will be subject to a 2% NSR royalty in favor of the prospectors, with 1% of such NSR royalty being subject to a repurchase right for $500,000. Upon successful exercise of the Option, the optionee shall have acquired an undivided 75% interest in the Kagoot Brook Property, which interest will be subject to the 75%/25% joint venture formed between the optionee and Great Atlantic. If a joint venture party does not contribute its proportionate share of expenditures on the Kagoot Brook Property, the non-contributing party's joint venture interest will be reduced proportionately. If Great Atlantic's joint venture interest is reduced to 5% or less, Great Atlantic will be deemed to have withdrawn from the joint venture and its remaining interest will convert into a 3% NSR royalty, with the optionee having the right to repurchase up to 2% of such royalty for $1,000,000 per each 1%.

b) Share Purchase Agreement respecting Nelson Mining District Mineral Exploration Claims

On December 23, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with shareholders of Pilgrim Exploration Corp. (“Pilgrim”), under which the Company acquired all of Pilgrim’s issued and outstanding common shares. Pilgrim is the registered holder of 10 mineral exploration claims located in the Nelson Mining District in British Columbia. In exchange for the purchase of Pilgrim’s shares, the Company issued 3,000,000 units of the Company, valued at $930,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.35 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The Company has allocated $697,500 to common shares and $232,500 to the warrants.

In connection with the transaction, the Company also issued 300,000 units for finders’ fees, valued at $346,244. Each unit is comprised of one finders’ share and one finders’ warrant. Each finders’ warrant is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.63 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The Company has allocated $222,000 to common shares and $124,244 to the warrants.

The transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination and therefore, has been accounted for as an asset purchase of mineral property interests with the Company acquiring the outstanding shares of Pilgrim on December 23, 2020. The consideration for the acquisition of Pilgrim has been allocated at fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on management’s best estimate and taking into account all available information at the time of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the total consideration paid and the aggregate fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Purchaseprice $
3,000,000 units of the Company at $0.2325 per share 930,000

The Company also was required to pay a finder’s fee of $80,000 (paid) and issue 555,556 shares (issued) as finder’s shares. The shares issued were valued at $2,047,223.

Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated April 7, 2021 with Apex Resources Inc. (“Apex”), the Company acquired Apex’s interest in the Kena Project from Apex in exchange for consideration of: aggregate cash payments of $300,000 (paid); an aggregate of 1,500,000 common shares of the Company with a fair value of $472,500 (issued); and granting Apex a 1% NSR royalty on the Kena Project, with the Company having the right to repurchase the NSR for $500,000 at any time prior to the commencement of commercial production on the Kena Project.

19

WEST MINING CORP. (FORMERLY IRONWOOD CAPITAL CORP.) Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with shareholders of Folkestone Mining Corp. (“Folkestone”), under which the Company acquired all of Folkestone’s issued and outstanding shares. Folkestone is the registered holder of 4 mineral exploration claims located in the Spanish Mountain District in British Columbia. In exchange for the purchase of Folkestone’s shares, the Company issued 3,100,000 units of the Company, valued at $1,302,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.42 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The Company has allocated all of the $1,302,000 fair value to common shares and $nil to the warrants.

In connection with the transaction, the Company issued 310,000 units for finders’ fees, valued at $357,785. Each unit is comprised of one finders’ share and one finders’ warrant. Each finders’ warrant is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.63 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The Company has allocated $229,400 to common shares and $128,385 to the warrants.

The transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination and therefore, has been accounted for as an asset purchase of mineral property interests with the Company acquiring the outstanding shares of Folkestone on January 25, 2021. The consideration for the acquisition of Folkestone has been allocated at fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on management’s best estimate and taking into account all available information at the time of acquisition.
