NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

a) Nature of Operations

 

NexMetals Mining Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company” or “NEXM” and formerly Premium Resources Ltd.) principal business activity is the exploration and evaluation of the Selebi and Selebi North nickel-copper-cobalt (“Ni-Cu-Co”) mines in Botswana and related infrastructure (together, the “Selebi Mines”), as well as the nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum-group elements (“Ni-Cu-Co-PGE”) Selkirk mine in Botswana, together with associated infrastructure and four surrounding prospecting licences (collectively, the “Selkirk Mine” and together with the Selebi Mines, the “Mines”).

 

The common shares of NEXM (“Common Shares”) are listed and posted for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) and on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) under the symbol “NEXM”. Prior to June 11, 2025, the Company traded on the TSXV under its previous name and symbol, Premium Resources Ltd. and “PREM”, respectively. The Company’s head and registered office is located at One First Canadian Place, 100 King Street West, Suite 3400, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5X 1A4.

 

b) Share Consolidation

 

On June 20, 2025, the Company consolidated its Common Shares on the basis of twenty (20) pre-consolidated shares for every one (1) post-consolidation share (the “Share Consolidation”). No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Share Consolidation. All fractional shares created by the Share Consolidation were rounded to the nearest whole number of Common Shares, with any fractional interest representing one-half (1/2) or more Common Shares entitling holders thereof to receive one whole Common Share.

 

As a result of the Share Consolidation, the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants has been adjusted in accordance with the applicable warrant terms, such that each warrant now entitles the holder to receive one post-consolidation Common Share for every twenty Common Shares previously issuable, at a proportionally adjusted exercise price. The total number of warrants outstanding was not affected by the Consolidation. For comparative and presentation purposes, all warrant figures presented herein, including the number of warrants outstanding and the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise, are presented on a post-consolidation basis.

 

The exercise price, number of Options outstanding, and number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Options presented in these financial statements were proportionately adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation. Further, the number of restricted share units and deferred share units, and number of Common Shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted share units presented in these financial statements were also proportionately adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation. All information respecting outstanding Common Shares and other securities of the Company, including basic and diluted loss per share, in the current and comparative periods presented herein give effect to the Share Consolidation.

 

c) Going Concern

 

The Company, being in the exploration stage, is subject to risks and challenges similar to companies in a comparable stage of exploration and development. These risks include the challenges of securing adequate capital for exploration and advancement of the Company’s material projects, operational risks inherent in the mining industry, and global economic and metal price volatility, and there is no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors.

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. The ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon achieving profitable operations and its ability to obtain adequate financing. The Company incurred a net loss of $15,088,746 and $30,317,076 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. To date, the Company has not generated profitable operations from its resource activities and will need to invest additional funds in carrying out its planned evaluation, development and operational activities.

 

It is not possible to predict whether future financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain a profitable level of operations. These material uncertainties cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities and the reported expenses and comprehensive loss that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.

 

 

 

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

 

The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in pre-revenue stage. As such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned activities and cover administrative costs, the Company will use its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. Further, the second instalment under the Selebi APA (defined in Note 5) of $34,107,500 (US$25,000,000) is due January 31, 2026, which may require the Company to raise additional funding as the Company does not currently have sufficient funds to meet this obligation.

 

On March 18, 2025, the Company closed a significant refinancing (Note 8 and Note 10(a)). While this transaction will provide sufficient capital for the Company to fund operations in the near term, the Company will need further funding to support advancement of the Selebi Mines and the Selkirk Mine toward the development stage.

 

Although the Company has been successful in its past fundraising activities, there is no assurance as to the success of future fundraising efforts or as to the sufficiency of funds raised in the future.
