NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024

  1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

XAU Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on June 18, 2018. The Company completed an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and was classified as a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) Policy 2.4. The principal business of the Company was the identification and evaluation of assets or a business (Qualifying Transaction) and, once identified or evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition or participation in a business subject to receipt of shareholder approval, if required, and acceptance by regulatory authorities. The Company’s shareholders approved the removal of policies related to the consequences associated with not completing the Qualified Transaction within 24 months of the listing date in accordance with the new CPC policies.

The Company completed the Qualifying Transaction on June 20, 2022. As part of the Qualifying Transaction, the subscription receipts issued by the Company on March 7, 2022, pursuant to a non-brokered private placement were automatically converted to 4,000,000 common shares of the resulting issuer.

On October 21, 2021, the Company entered an option agreement to acquire an undivided 100% interest in the "Noseno Project" located approximately two-hundred kilometers west of Georgetown, Guyana. The Noseno Project comprises 37 licenses covering 37,623 acres, together with 100% of the mineral and mining rights attached thereto or derived therefrom (see Note 4). The mineral properties may potentially expose the Company to risks and considerations not normally associated with exploration activities in North America. The Company’s ability to retain its properties, raise and deploy capital may be adversely affected by changes in governing regimes, policies, laws, and regulations, all of which are beyond the Company’s control.

The Company’s head office, principal address and registered and records office is located at Suite 4100, 66 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5K 1B7.

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 27, 2025.

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation.

  1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern Note Disclosure

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) as applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretation Committee. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted and these unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Audited Financial Statements for the year-ended October 31, 2024.

The unaudited interim condensed financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

Basis of measurement and Going Concern Note Disclosure, Continued

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated revenue from operations and realized a comprehensive loss of $44,097 during the three month ended January 31, 2025 (2024: $27,991) and as of that date the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,644,803 (2024: $1,600,706). The Company is reliant on raising funds to continue operations. The Company will have to raise funds to continue operations and there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. These factors create material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. Such adjustments could be material.

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at fair value. In addition, these unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

Significant accounting policies

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes were prepared using the accounting policies described in Note 2 of the Company’s Audited Financial Statements for the year-ended October 31, 2024.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are 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. Significant estimates included in these financial statements include the valuation of share-based payments.

There have been no significant judgements made by management in the application of IFRS that have a significant effect on these financial statements.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed to a variety of risks related to financial instruments. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes. The principal types of risk exposure and the way in which they are managed are as follows:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts. The Company has deposited the cash with a Schedule 1 Canadian bank from which management believes the risk of loss is remote.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current operating period. The Company has a sufficient cash balance to settle current liabilities.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

Fair Value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of the Company’s receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value because of the short-term nature of the financial instruments. The Company’s cash is measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs.

6. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a flexible capital structure. Therefore, the Company monitors the level of risk incurred in its expenditures relative to its capital structure.

The Company considers its capital structure to consist of components of shareholders’ equity. The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the potential underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new equity if available on favorable terms and approved by the TSX-V.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 31, 2024, the Company issued 865,000 options to its directors, officers, and consultants, at an exercise price of $0.06 per share. The options vest immediately and are exercisable in accordance with the Plan, with an expiration date of October 31, 2029. As of January 31, 2025, the total number of outstanding options was 1,265,000, slightly exceeding the 10% maximum limit of 1,261,150 options reserved under the option plan.

On February 14, 2025, the Company made an adjustment to the number of options granted to a director, reducing the total by 3,850 while keeping the rest of terms consistent. This brings the outstanding options to 1,261,150, aligning with the limits set by the option plan.
