BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions in Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for financial information.

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The interim period results do not necessary indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

Basis of preparation

(b)

Basis of preparation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified by the revaluation of any financial assets and financial liabilities where applicable. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies.

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting used for the audited annual consolidated financial statements. The Company determined that it has one reportable operating segment being that of the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties in three geographic segments, which are Canada, Barbados and Botswana (Note 15).

Use of estimates and judgment

The preparation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the implementation of the accounting policies and the recorded amount of assets and liabilities, income, expenses, and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.
