Statement of Compliance

(a) Statement of Compliance

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“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 (the “SEC”).

 

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US 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, 2024. The interim period results do not necessarily 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 under the historical cost convention, modified by the revaluation of any financial assets and financial liabilities where applicable. The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company as of September 30, 2025, and through the date of this Report filing.

 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to executive management. 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 14).

 

The Company’s presentation currency is Canadian dollars. Reference herein of $ or CAD is to Canadian dollars, US$ or USD is to United States dollars, and BWP is to Botswana pula.

 

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, 2024. Except as described in Note 2(f) and (g), there were no changes in significant accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

Reclassification

(c) Reclassification

 

Certain comparative figures on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated balance sheets, unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows, and the notes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net loss or shareholders’ equity as previously reported. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, an adjustment has been made to reduce share-based compensation by $933,619 and $1,712,843, respectively, on the face of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, and to increase general and administrative expenses by $548,776 and $1,082,348, respectively, and to increase general exploration expenses by $384,843 and $630,495, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses were reduced by $1,031,149 and $2,974,563, respectively, with an increase to general exploration expenses of $924,622 and $2,707,944, respectively, and an increase to investor relations and communications of $106,527 and $266,619, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, operating cash outflows attributable to the purchase of spares of $989,920 were reclassified to investing cash outflows. Trade payables and accruals of $584,364 were reclassified from current to non-current for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Share Consolidation

(d) 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 outstanding 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.

Debt Extinguishment

(f) Debt Extinguishment

 

Upon the extinguishment of debt, the difference between the amount paid on extinguishment, including miscellaneous costs of reacquisition, and the net carrying amount of the debt being extinguished, being the amount due at maturity, adjusted for unamortized premiums, discounts, and costs of issuance, is recognized as a gain or loss when the debt is extinguished. The fair value of the assets transferred or the fair value of an equity interest granted is used in accounting for the settlement of the debt unless the fair value of the debt being settled is more clearly evident.
