Exhibit 99.9

BLACK MAMMOTH METALS CORPORATION

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Black Mammoth Metals Corporation

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Black Mammoth Metals Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of the material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that there is no assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations, become cash flow positive or be able to raise additional debt or equity financing. As stated in Note 1, the Company intends to raise additional funding in the form of equity financing. These matters, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there is the following key audit matter to communicate in our auditor’s report.

 

Key audit matter:		How our audit addressed the key audit matter:
Assessment of impairment indicators of Exploration and evaluation assets.		Our approach to addressing the matter included the following procedures, among others:
Refer to note 3 – Use of estimates and judgements, note 4 – Accounting policy for Exploration and evaluation assets and note 8 Exploration and evaluation assets		Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s assessment of impairment indicators, which included the following:

Management assesses at each reporting period whether there is an indication that the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets may not be recoverable. Management applies significant judgement in assessing whether indicators of impairment exist that necessitate impairment testing. Internal and external factors, such as (i) a significant decline in the market value of the Company’s share price; (ii) changes in the Company’s assessment of whether commercially viable quantities of mineral resources exist within the properties; and (iii) changes in metal prices, capital and operating costs, are evaluated by management in determining whether there are any indicators of impairment.   We considered this a key audit matter due to (i) the significance of the exploration and evaluation asset balance and (ii) the significant audit effort and subjectivity in applying audit procedures to assess the factors evaluated by management in its assessment of impairment indicators, which required significant management judgement.		• Assessed the Company’s market capitalization in comparison to the Company’s net assets, which may be an indication of impairment.   • Assessed the completeness of the factors that could be considered indicators of impairment, including consideration of evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.   • Confirmed that the Company’s right to explore the properties had not expired.   • Obtained management’s written representations regarding the Company’s future plans for the exploration and evaluation assets.   • Assessed the reasonability of the Company’s financial statement disclosure regarding their exploration and evaluation assets.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

 

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

•

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

•

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

•

Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is James Roxburgh.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

The Company was incorporated on August 17, 2004 in British Columbia, Canada and began active operations on that date.

The Company is a natural resource company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of resource properties in Idaho, Nevada, California, Utah, Arizona, and Oregon. The Company presently has no proven or probable reserves and on the basis of information to date, it has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. Consequently, the Company considers itself to be an exploration stage company. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, having a symbol BMM.V.

The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 1710 – 1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss of $586,595 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and, as of that date, had an accumulated deficit of $14,672,316.

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management intends to continue to raise additional funding in the form of equity financing from the sale of common stock to improve the working capital position, but there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving this goal. These factors may cast significant doubt on the use of the going concern basis of accounting used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business, and these adjustments may be material.

 

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

a)

Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 30, 2025.

 

b)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows:

 

On February 5, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of IDA Mining Corporation (“IDA Mining”), a company incorporated under the laws of the States of Nevada, USA, by entering into a share purchase agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of IDA Mining. IDA Mining holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the American Mine property located in San Bernardino County, California (Note 7).

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

 

b)

Principles of Consolidation (Continued)

As at December 31, 2024, the principal activity of the Company’s subsidiaries was that of holding companies. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity as to obtain benefits from its activities. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

 

c)

Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ functional currency.

 

3.	USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting year that could result in a material adjustment of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

Critical accounting judgments:

 

i)

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets

Assets or cash-generating units are evaluated at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. The Company considers both internal and external sources of information when making the assessment of whether there are indications of impairment for the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets.

 

ii)

Going Concern

The Company’s assessment of its ability to raise sufficient funds to finance operations involves significant judgments. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

3.	USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (Continued)

 

Critical accounting estimates:

 

i)

Economic recoverability and probability of future benefits of exploration and evaluation costs

The carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets and the likelihood of future economic recoverability of these carrying values is subject to significant management estimates. The application of the Company’s accounting policy for and determination of recoverability of capitalized assets is based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. New information may change estimates and assumptions made. If information becomes available indicating that recovery of expenditures is unlikely, the amounts capitalized are impaired and recognized as a loss in the period that the new information becomes available. A change in estimate could result in the carrying amount of capitalized assets being materially different from their presented carrying costs.

 

ii)

Recognition of deferred income tax assets

Management is required to assess the recoverability of deferred income tax assets, which arise from the differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes, to the extent that it is probable future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

4.	MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and has been determined for each entity within the Company. The functional currency for all entities within the Company is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting year, the monetary assets and liabilities of the Company that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the statement of financial position date while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are reflected in profit or loss for the year.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of financial assets and financial liabilities and are initially recognized at fair value along with, in the case of a financial asset or liability not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit and loss.

The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:

 

i)

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss); and

 

ii)

those to be measured at amortized cost.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are recorded and measured as follows:

4.	MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued)

 

Financial Instruments (Continued)

Financial assets

The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at the consolidated statement of financial position date, with any changes taken through profit and loss or other comprehensive income.

The Company has classified its financial assets as follows:

 

•

Cash is measured at fair value with changes to fair value subsequent to initial recognition being recorded in profit or loss for the period in which they occur.

•

Reclamation bond is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest income, where material, is recorded in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). Any fair value changes due to credit risk for liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss are recorded in other comprehensive income.

The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable, long-term payables and amounts due to related parties which are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense, where material, is recorded in profit or loss.

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when the liability is extinguished by way of discharge, cancellation or expiry. There were no changes to the classification of financial instruments in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Upon acquiring the legal right to explore a property, costs related to the acquisition, exploration and evaluation are capitalized by property. If economically recoverable ore reserves are developed, capitalized costs of the related exploration and evaluation assets are reclassified as mining assets and amortized using the unit of production method. An exploration and evaluation asset is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable.

Any option payments received by the Company from third parties or tax credits refunded to the Company are credited to the capitalized cost of the exploration and evaluation assets. If payments received exceed the capitalized cost of the exploration and evaluation assets, the excess is recognized as income in the year received. The amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets do not necessarily represent present or future values. Their recoverability is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

4.	MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued)

 

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any.

Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the asset’s value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss for the year.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Decommissioning and Restoration Provision

The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of exploration and evaluation assets and equipment when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future rehabilitation cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized to mining assets along with a corresponding increase in the rehabilitation provision in the year incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The rehabilitation asset is depreciated on the same basis as mining assets.

The Company’s estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to mining assets with a corresponding entry to the provision. The Company’s estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates. Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Company’s estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to profit and loss for the year.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had a $Nil (2023 - $Nil) decommissioning and restoration provision.

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the declining balance method at the following rates per annum.

Equipment   30% per annum

Equipment that is withdrawn from use, or has no reasonable prospect of being recovered through use or sale, is regularly identified and written off. The assets’ residual values, depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Subsequent expenditures relating to an item of equipment are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits from the use the assets will be increased. All other subsequent expenditures are recognized as repairs and maintenance.

4.	MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued)

 

Income Taxes

Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is recorded by providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable loss; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statement of financial position date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Share Issue Costs

Costs directly identifiable with the raising of capital are charged against the related share capital. Costs related to shares not yet issued are recorded as deferred financing costs and are deferred until the issuance of the shares to which the costs relate, at which time the costs will be charged against the related share capital or charged to operations if the shares are not issued.

Flow-through Shares

Canadian Income Tax legislation permits an enterprise to issue securities referred to as flow-through shares, whereby the investor can claim the tax deductions arising from the renunciation of the related resource expenditures. The Company accounts for flow-through shares whereby the premium paid for the flow through shares in excess of the market value of the shares without flow-through features at the time of issue is credited to other liabilities and included in profit or loss at the same time the qualifying expenditures are made.

Earnings Per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the income attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method which considers the potential exercise of outstanding financial instruments with equity purchase or conversion features. Diluted earnings per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.

Valuation of Equity Units Issued in Private Placements

The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the most easily measured component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component.

The fair value of the common shares issued in a private placement is determined to be the more easily measurable component and are valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as reserves.

4.	MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued)

 

Equity-based Compensation

The Company grants stock options and warrants to acquire common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and consultants. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes, or provides services similar to those performed by an employee.

The fair value of stock options and compensatory warrants are measured on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period. Consideration paid for the shares on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital.

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 goods or services received.

Government Assistance

Government assistance from the Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) loans under federal COVID-19 response programs are recorded as a liability. Any forgivable portion of the assistance is not recorded as a gain until there is reasonable assurance that it will not be repayable.

New accounting standards

An amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements replaced the requirement to disclose “significant” accounting policies with a requirement to disclose “material” accounting policies. This amendment was effective January 1, 2023. Any other pronouncements are either not relevant to the Company or the impact of adopting them on its financial statements was not significant.

 

5.	RECLAMATION BOND

The Company has provided a US $27,770 reclamation bond to the Division of Minerals in the state of Nevada as security against future reclamation on the Company’s mineral properties since abandoned. During the year ended December 31, 2019, US $16,945 of the bond was returned to the Company for the portion of the restoration that has received final regulatory approval.

As at December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the reclamation bond was $15,569 (2023 - $14,816). The bond is classified as a long-term asset as it will not be recovered until the Division of Minerals approves restoration work that was completed during 2018.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company provided a US$26,004 reclamation bond to the Division of Minerals in the state of Nevada as security against future reclamation for operations on the Company’s Happy Cat Property (Note 8). As at December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the reclamation bond was $37,921 (2023 - $Nil).

7.	ACQUISTION OF IDA MINING CORPORATION

On January 18, 2024, the Company completed a share purchase agreement with the CEO and a director of the Company to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of IDA Mining in consideration of the assignment and assumption of approximately USD$150,000 (CAD$188,029) in property costs incurred in connection with underlying option agreement. The Company will also incur an interest expense on the costs going forward at 9% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded interest of $5,517. The balance was paid during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The transaction did not constitute a business combination, as IDA Mining did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. As a result, the acquisition of IDA Mining was accounted for as an asset acquisition, whereby the purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Company based on their relative fair values at the date of purchase. The net assets acquired pursuant to the acquisition were as follows:

11.	CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the Company continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management team to manage its capital.

The properties in which the Company currently has interests are in the exploration stage. As such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

Management considers its approach to capital management to be appropriate given the relative size of the Company. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period.

 

12.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value

IFRS 7 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 –

Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 –

Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or indirectly such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions.

 

Level 3 –

Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable market data

12.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

 

The following table provides the fair value measures by level of valuation assumptions used:

 

Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management team with guidance from the Board of Directors. The Company’s risk exposures and their impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

 

a)

Credit Risk

The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash. Cash is held with one reputable Canadian chartered bank which is closely monitored by management. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash is minimal.

 

b)

Liquidity Risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at December 31, 2024, the Company had current liabilities of

$78,227 (2023 - $87,976). All of the Company’s liabilities are subject to normal trade terms. See Notes 10 and 14.

 

c)

Market Risk

 

i)

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not currently have any variable interest rate assets or liabilities. Interest rate risk is assessed as low.

 

ii)

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. To mitigate price risk, the Company closely monitors commodity prices of precious metals, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
