CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024
(expressed in U.S. Dollars, except where noted)
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Xtra Gold Resources Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Xtra Gold Resources Corp. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.
/s/
We have served as the Company's auditor since 2025.

| XTRA-GOLD RESOURCES CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Expressed in U.S. Dollars) December 31, 2024 |
1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
Xtra-Gold Resources Corp., previously Silverwing Systems Corporation, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 1, 1998, pursuant to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes. In 2003, the Company became a resource exploration company. The Company has also engaged in recovery of gold through alluvial operations on its claims. On November 30, 2012, the Company redomiciled from the USA to the British Virgin Islands.
In 2004, the Company acquired
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("US GAAP").
Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, XG Exploration and its
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value and recoverability of mineral properties, inputs used in the calculation of stock-based compensation and warrants, inputs used in the calculation of the asset retirement obligation, the valuation allowance applied to level 3 investments, and the valuation allowance applied to deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash and redeemable money market funds held at financial institutions.
The Company has been required by the Ghanaian government to post a bond for environmental reclamation. This cash has been recorded as restricted cash, a non-current asset.
Prepaids
Prepaid amounts are recognized in an earlier period than they are expensed. These amounts are expensed in the period to which they relate.
Inventory
Inventories are initially recognized at cost and subsequently stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company's inventory consists of raw gold recovered from alluvial operations. Costs are determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method and includes expenditures incurred in extracting the raw gold, other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition, and the cost of reclaiming the disturbed land to a natural state.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

|
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is not estimated to be recoverable due to declining selling prices, or other issues related to the sale of gold.
Recovery of gold
Recovery of gold and other income is recognized when title and the risks and rewards of ownership to delivered bullion and commodities pass to the buyer and collection is reasonably assured. Recovery of gold, net of expenses, is not related to exploration and is not the core business of the Company, so proceeds from gold recovery are recognized as other income.
Trading securities
The Company's trading securities are reported at fair value, with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.
Non-Controlling Interest
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of XG Mining. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company records a non-controlling interest which reflects the
Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost and is being depreciated over its estimated useful lives, which recognizes operating conditions in Ghana, using the declining balance method at the following annual rates:
| Furniture and equipment | |
| Computer equipment | |
| Vehicles | |
| Mining and exploration equipment |
Mineral properties and exploration and development costs
The costs of acquiring mineral rights are capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral property is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value. Exploration costs incurred on mineral properties are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses). When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset. The mineral properties do not fall under the guidance of ASC 842, "Lease Accounting".
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable.

|
No impairment charge was deemed necessary for mineral properties in 2024 or 2023. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Asset retirement obligations
The Company records the estimated rehabilitation value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements under ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Company.
In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at fair value of the share-based payment. Otherwise, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the goods and services received.
We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.
Warrants
The Company accounts for freestanding warrants within stockholder's equity or as liabilities based on the characteristics and provisions of each instrument. The Company evaluates outstanding warrants in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". If none of the criteria in the evaluation in these standards are met, the warrants are classified as a component of stockholders' equity and initially recorded at their grant date fair value without subsequent remeasurement. Warrants that meet the criteria are classified as liabilities and remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.
Share repurchases
The Company accounts for the repurchase of its common shares as an increase in shares in treasury for the market value of the shares at the time of purchase. When the shares are cancelled, the issued and outstanding shares are reduced by the $
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the asset and liability method the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized.

Income (Loss) per share
Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share ("EPS") amounts in the consolidated financial statements are computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260 - 10 "Earnings per Share", which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive. There was potential dilution in 2024 and no potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Foreign exchange
The Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Any monetary assets and liabilities that are in a currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate prevailing at year end. Revenue and expenses in a foreign currency are translated at rates that approximate those in effect at the time of translation. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.
Financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trading securities, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trading securities, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of those financial instruments. Cash in Canada is primarily held in financial institutions. Balances on hand may exceed insured maximums. Cash in Ghana is held in banks with a strong international presence. Ghana does not insure bank balances.
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
Our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash equivalents, marketable securities, and marketable debt securities. Our financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include non-marketable equity securities, which are adjusted to fair value when observable price changes are identified. Other financial assets and liabilities are carried at cost with fair value disclosed, if required.
The Company follows ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the date of measurement. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
|
XTRA-GOLD RESOURCES CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
December 31, 2024
|
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Changes in Level 3 measurements
The following table presents changes in assets classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2024 attributable to the following:

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities
We invest all excess cash primarily in time deposits, money market funds, corporate debt securities, equities, limited partnerships, and rights and warrants.
We classify all marketable debt securities that have stated maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents and those with stated maturities of greater than three months as marketable securities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We determine the appropriate classification of our investments in marketable debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluate such designation at each balance sheet date. We have classified and accounted for our marketable debt securities as trading securities. After consideration of our risk versus reward objectives, as well as our liquidity requirements, we may sell these debt securities prior to their stated maturities. For all of our marketable debt securities we have elected the fair value option, for which changes in fair value are recorded in other income (expense), net. We determine any realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable debt securities on a specific identification method, and we record such gains and losses as a component of other income (expense), net.
The following tables summarize our investment in debt instruments, at their fair value, by significant investment categories as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.
Investment in Debt Securities
We classify our marketable debt securities, which are accounted for as trading securities, within Level 1 or 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we use quoted market prices to the extent available or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine fair value.
Investment in trading securities
The following discusses our marketable equity securities, non-marketable equity securities, gains and losses on marketable and non-marketable equity securities.
Our marketable equity securities are publicly traded stocks or funds measured at fair value and classified within Level 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we use quoted prices for identical assets in active markets or inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets.
Our non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable market values. The Company elected to measure non-marketable equity securities at its cost minus impairment (referred to as the measurement alternative). At each reporting period, the Company makes a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether non-marketable equity securities are impaired. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, the carrying value of non-marketable equity securities will be written down to its fair value, and the impairment loss will be included in the consolidated statements of operations. The non-marketable equity securities are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Mineral Properties have a value of $
Kibi, Kwabeng and Pameng Projects
The Company holds the mineral rights over the lease area for Kibi , Kwabeng, and Pameng Projects, all of which are located in Ghana. The original Kwabeng and Pameng mining leases had an expired date of July 26, 2019, while the Apapam (the "Kibi") lease had an expiry date of December 17, 2015. Under the mineral laws, the Company has the right to apply for extensions of mining leases for up to a maximum of 30 years. The Company has applied for extensions on all three of its leases noted above for a further 15 years. The Kwabeng and Pameng extensions were filed on December 13, 2018, and the Kibi lease extension on June 17, 2015. To date, the Company has not received the extension documents from the government. Under mineral law, the old leases remain fully in force until the government issues the new lease documents. The renewal extension is in accordance with the terms of application and payment of fees to the Minerals Commission.
All gold production will be subject to a 5% production royalty of the net smelter returns ("NSR") payable to the Government of Ghana.
Banso and Muoso Projects
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company made an application to Mincom to convert a single prospecting license ("PL") securing its interest in the Banso and Muoso Projects located in Ghana to a mining lease covering the lease area of each of these Projects. This application was approved by Mincom who subsequently made recommendation to the Minister of Lands, Forestry and Mines to grant an individual mining lease for each Project. On January 6, 2011, the Government of Ghana granted two mining leases for these Projects. These mining leases grant the Company mining rights to produce gold in the respective leased areas until January 5, 2025 with respect to the Banso Project and until January 5, 2024 with respect to the Muoso Project. These mining leases supersede the PL previously granted to the Company. Among other things, both mining leases require that the Company:
i) pay the Government of Ghana a fee of $
ii) pay annual ground rent of GH¢
iii) commence commercial production of gold within two years from the date of the mining leases (note: all leases were in production well before the 2 year deadline); and
iv) pay a production royalty of
No project acquisition costs were recorded for the acquisition of Banso and Muoso Projects. In June 2023 the Company applied for an extension of the Muoso Project. The Banso lease expires on January 5, 2025 and the Company expects to apply for an extension of the Banso lease at that time.

In evaluating the ability to recover the deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company began with historical results adjusted for changes in accounting policies and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimate the Company are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company considers three years of cumulative operating income.
A reconciliation of the Ghana income tax to our effective income tax is as follows:

The Company recognizes valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets and liabilities to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company's net deferred income tax asset is not more likely than not to be realized due to the lack of sufficient sources of future taxable income and cumulative losses that have resulted over the years.

b) Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company's business. The Company is not aware of any such legal proceedings other than disclosed below that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

The Company is subject to additional legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On October 19, 2022, the Minerals Commission issued five improper invoices to our Ghanaian subsidiary. These invoices were titled "Outstanding Annual Mineral Right Fees" for all five of our concessions (Kwabeng, Pameng, Apapam, Muoso and Banso), which Minerals Commission indicated were related to the period from 2012 to 2022, for new annual mineral fees. However, all of our mining leases all have a one-time fixed consideration fee, which was paid when our leases were granted. Our legal counsel responded to Minerals Commission (the "Letters") on November 15, 2019, objecting to the five improper invoices. Our Letters outline the specific violated terms of our leases and various mineral laws. The Minerals Commission has not responded to our Letters. Should Minerals Commission challenge our Letters, our Company could enter dispute resolution arbitration clause under the Mineral Act. We believe the invoices are not legally enforceable under the Mineral Act, and have not included any amount related to these invoices in our accounts.
Ghana Revenue Agency ("GRA") sent our Ghanaian subsidiary an updated tax assessment letter on May 11, 2023. The letter alleges an additional tax liability (the "Assessment"), from 2012 to 2022. Upon a thorough review of the Assessment, we agreed that the only additional liability in the Assessment was $
(c) Credit risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
(d) Exchange rate risk
The functional currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in Ghana and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in both Canada and Ghana. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and Ghana currency. If Ghana depreciates against US$, the value of Ghana revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.
(e) Economic and political risks
The Company's operations are conducted in Ghana. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in Ghana, and by the general state of the Ghana economy.
The Company's operations in the Ghana are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in Ghana, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.
f) Commodity price risk
We are exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices for gold. Commodity prices are affected by many factors, including but not limited to, supply and demand.
