WEST MINING CORP.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024

(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

West Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "West") was incorporated under the Company Act of British Columbia on August 28, 2017. The Company's registered and records office is located at Suite 600-1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 3V7. The Company's common shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the trading symbol "WEST".

The Company's primary business is the identification, acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties.

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. As at January 31, 2025, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $264,675 and an accumulated deficit of $16,386,457. 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.

These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant 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 consolidated 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, 2024. They do not include all the information required for complete annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and therefore should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for year ended October 31, 2024.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 1, 2025.

b) Basis of measurement

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, including 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) Functional and presentation currency

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. All financial information is expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

3. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

a) Kena Project

During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Kena Project upon execution of the Option Agreement, the Amended Agreement and the Apex Agreement (as defined below). The Company also purchased additional claims to complement the Kena Project on March 22, 2021, as described below. The Kena Project consists of mineral claims and crown grants located in the Nelson Mining District in British Columbia and is subject to various NSRs ranging from 1% to 3% which may be purchased for cash consideration.

Option Agreement

On December 24, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Boundary Gold and Copper Mining Ltd. ("Boundary") and Boundary's wholly-owned subsidiary, 1994854 Alberta Ltd. ("1994854"), to acquire 174 mineral claims and 11 crown grants comprising the Kena and Daylight gold-copper properties (the "Kena Project"). Under the Option Agreement, the Company earned an 80% interest in and to the properties by making aggregate cash payments of $325,000, issuing an aggregate of 180,556 common shares with a fair value of $325,000, and incurring an aggregate of $1,735,925 in exploration expenditures.

Amended Agreement to purchase 1994854

Pursuant to an amending agreement dated April 7, 2021 with Boundary ("Amended Agreement"), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1994854 from Boundary, by making a cash payment of $800,000 and issuing 555,555 common shares to Boundary with a fair value of $1,888,889. 1994854 holds the underlying 80% interest in the Kena Project.

Apex Agreement to purchase remaining 20% interest

Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated April 7, 2021 with Apex Resources Inc. ("Apex") ("Apex Agreement"), the Company acquired Apex's interest in the Kena Project in exchange for cash payments totaling $300,000 and issuance of 150,000 common shares of the Company valued at $480,000.

Apex retained a 1% NSR royalty on the Kena Project, which the Company has a right to purchase for a cash payment of $500,000 at any time prior to the commencement of commercial production.

Athabasca Mine

In 2021, the Company entered into claims purchase agreements with 802213 Alberta Ltd., under which the Company acquired 22 mineral claims contiguous to the Kena Project for cash payment of $52,297 and 8,500 common shares of the Company.

Agreement with Upside Gold Corp.

On January 20, 2025, the Company executed an option agreement with Upside Gold Corp. ("Upside"), pursuant to which the Company has granted an option to Upside to acquire a 100% interest in and to the Kena Project. The Company deemed it appropriate to carry out an impairment assessment as to whether the carrying amount of the property exceeded its recoverable amount. Accordingly, the recoverable amount was determined to be $3,570,290 based on the fair value of the consideration to be received pursuant to the Upside option agreement using a discount rate assumption of 20%, and therefore an impairment expense of $3,464,709 was recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss during the year ended October 31, 2024.

In exchange for the purchase of Folkestone's shares, the Company issued 310,000 units of the Company, valued at $1,240,000.

ESN Investments Corp. Option Agreement

On October 15, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement with ESN Investment Corp. ("ESN"), to acquire 100% interest in two mineral claims (the "Claims") located in Northern British Columbia which augment Folkstone Property, with the following terms:

  • Issue 4,750,000 common shares following the signing of the agreement (issued at a fair value of $973,750);

In addition, the Company shall appoint ESN as the operator on all work programs of the properties for the duration of the option period.
