Blue Moon Metals Inc.
Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of
Blue Moon Metals Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Blue Moon Metals Inc. (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, cash flows, and changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, these 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 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
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 other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates the Company’s operations have been primarily funded from equity financings and that the Company will continue to require additional funding to maintain its ongoing exploration and evaluation programs, property maintenance payments, and operations. As stated in Note 1, these events and conditions 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 year ended. 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.
Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our auditor’s report.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

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.
We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. 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 Accounting Standards, 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. | |
| ● | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance 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 year ended 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 Zachary Faure.

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
a) Nature of operations
Blue Moon Metals Inc. (“Blue Moon” or the “Company”) is an exploration stage company which is focused on the exploration and development of mineral resource properties.
The Company was incorporated on January 15, 2007 under British Columbia’s Business Corporations Act. Its registered office is at 2700-1133 Melville Street, Vancouver BC V6E 4E5 and its head office is at 550-220 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2W4.
The Company owns the zinc-silver-gold-copper Blue Moon project in California through its wholly owned subsidiary Keystone Mines Ltd. (“Keystone Mines”). On December 19, 2024, the Company signed share purchase agreements with Nussir ASA (“Nussir”) and Nye Sulitjelma Gruver AS (“NSG”) in Norway to acquire all the issued and outstanding common shares of Nussir and NSG in exchange for common shares of Blue Moon (“Blue Moon Shares”) (the “Nussir Transaction” and the “NSG Transaction”) respectively. See Note 16 for more details.
On March 14, 2025, the Company completed a 10:1 share consolidation. All references to the number of shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the consolidation.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board on April 11, 2025.
b) Going concern
The nature of the Company’s operations requires significant expenditures for the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of mineral properties. To date, the Company has not received any revenue from mining operations and is considered to be in the exploration stage. The Company’s operations have been primarily funded from equity financings. The Company will continue to require additional funding to maintain its ongoing exploration and evaluation programs, property maintenance payments, and operations.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using IFRS Accounting Standards applicable to a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional funding from equity transactions or through other arrangements.
As at December 31, 2024, the Company has $3,001,720 (2023: $355,343) in cash. In addition, it has $27,006,386 (2023: $13,864) in restricted cash, almost all of those being held with an escrow agent for the financing which was undertaken at the same time as the Nussir and NSG Transactions (the “Concurrent Financing”) for gross proceeds of $30,000,093.
The Company has been successful in securing financing in the past, but there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that might be necessary were the Company not able to continue as a going concern.
c) Reclassification
Certain comparative balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation. These adjustments have been made for presentation purposes only and do not impact on the prior year’s reported results.

2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”).
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain items at fair value. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
b) Critical accounting policies
Significant Judgments
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make significant judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the basis of consolidation. These include but are not limited to the following:
Going concern: The assumption of the going concern of the Company as discussed in Note 1(b) above.
Estimations and assumptions
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to 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:
i) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The carrying amount of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets properties does not necessarily represent present or future values, and the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets have been accounted for under the assumption that the carrying amount will be recoverable. Recoverability is dependent on various factors, including the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral properties themselves. Additionally, there are numerous geological, economic, environmental and regulatory factors and uncertainties that could impact management’s assessment as to the overall viability of its properties or to the ability to generate future cash flows necessary to cover or exceed the carrying value of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets.
ii) Share-based Payments
The estimation of share-based payments includes estimating the inputs used in calculating the fair value for share-based payments expense included in profit or loss and share-based share issuance costs included in equity. Share-based payments expense and share-based share issuance costs are estimated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model as measured on the grant date to estimate the fair value of stock options. This model involves the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the Company’s common shares, the expected life of the options, and the estimated forfeiture rate.
iii) Income Taxes
The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.

3) MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% controlled subsidiary Keystone Mines. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Functional currency and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (unless otherwise stated), which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary.
Financial instruments
Classification
The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial liability is classified as and measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:
| ● | it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and | ||
| ● | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:
| ● | it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and | ||
| ● | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
An equity investment that is held for trading is measured at FVTPL. For other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to designate them as FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure them at FVTPL.

Measurement
Initial measurement
On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities classified as FVTPL, in which case the transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
Subsequent measurement
The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial instruments:
Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Impairment of financial instruments
The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date, with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition, based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.
Mineral property interests and exploration expenditures
All direct costs related to the acquisition of exploration and evaluation assets are capitalized upon acquiring the legal right to explore a property. Exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred prior to the determination of the feasibility of mining operations and a decision to proceed with development, are charged to profit or loss as incurred.
In accordance with IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets, upon transition to the development stage the Company is required to assess the recoverable amount of development assets against its carrying amount.
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred while the Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. If and when the Company’s management determines that economically extractable proven or probable mineral reserves have been established, the subsequent costs incurred to develop such property, including costs to further delineate the ore body will be capitalized.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for properties in the exploration stage, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property titles may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and noncompliance with regulatory requirements.
Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its mineral property interests to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment charge (if any).
The recoverable amount used for this purpose is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell, and value in use. 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 or CGU. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its recorded amount, the recorded amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment charge is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to a maximum amount equal to the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits in banks and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted cash are deposits that are reserved for a specific purpose and is not available for immediate business use. As at December 31, 2024, the Company had restricted cash of $27,006,386 of which $27,000,084 (2023: $NIL) represented funds held with an escrow agent, while $6,302 (2023: $13,864) are in respect of bonds held by the Bureau of Land Management in California.
Share Capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and stock options are recognized as a deduction from equity. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash, are valued based on their market value at the date the shares are issued.
The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of warrants attached to private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The Company considers the fair value of common shares issued in the private placements to be the more easily measurable component and the common shares are valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing market 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 contributed surplus.
Loss per share
The basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as the outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, if dilutive. The Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future but were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because they are antidilutive for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Share-based payments
The Company’s share compensation plan (the “Share Compensation Plan”) includes stock options (“Options”), restricted share units (“RSUs”) and deferred share units (“DSUs”). 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.
Pursuant to the Share Compensation Plan, the Company grants Options to employees, directors and consultants in order to acquire shares of the Company for a given exercise price. The fair value of Options granted, estimated at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the terms of the Options, is recognized as a share-based payments expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. Consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital and the fair value of the options is reclassified from contributed surplus to share capital. Under the Share Compensation Plan, RSUs can be granted. Each RSU represents a unit with the underlying value equal to the value of one common share of the Company, and vests over a specified period of service in accordance with the plan and can be equity or cash settled at the discretion of the Company. As the Company intends to settle for cash as long as its treasury permits it, they are valued at the share price prevailing at the time of grant and amortized as an expense over the vesting period and recorded as a liability with remeasurement to fair value at each subsequent reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value being recognized as expenses in the consolidated statements of earning (loss). Under the Share Compensation Plan, DSUs can be granted to Directors of the Company. Each DSU represents a unit equivalent in value to one common share of the Company and vests in accordance with the terms of the plan. The Company intends to settle all DSUs through the issuance of equity. As such, they are measured at fair value at the grant date and expensed over the vesting period in, with no subsequent measurement.
The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model which takes into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of stock options that are expected to vest.
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.
Provisions
Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the consolidated statement of financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Subscription receipts
Subscription receipts represent an obligation to issue shares upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Upon receipt of proceeds from the issuance of subscription receipts, the corresponding liability is recognized on the statement of financial position until such conditions are fulfilled. The liability for subscription receipts is initially recognized at fair value. Subsequently, as the conditions for the conversion of subscription receipts into shares are met and the corresponding number of shares issued, the liability is reclassified to equity.

Environmental expenditures
The operations of the Company may in the future be, affected by changes in environmental regulations, including those relating to future reclamation and site restoration. The likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company are unknown and unpredictable. The Company plans to meet and, if possible, surpass standards set by legislation, by applying technically proven and economically feasible measures.
Environmental expenditures relating to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged to operations, or are capitalized and amortized, depending on their future economic benefits, over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries. Liabilities related to environmental protection and reclamation costs are recognized when the obligation is incurred and the fair value of the related costs can be reasonably estimated. This includes future removal and site restoration costs required by environmental law or contracts.
As at December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company has no environmental liabilities.
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Income taxes
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the period, adjusted for amendments to tax payable for previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed by providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position and their corresponding tax values, using the enacted or substantially enacted, income tax rates at each consolidated statement of financial position date. Deferred tax assets also result from unused losses and other deductions carried forward. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
New accounting policies adopted January 1, 2024
Amendments to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current
In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants. These amendments increase the disclosure required to enable users of financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within 12 months. The amendments apply retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted and these have been applied with no material impact on the Company in the current reporting period.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces a revised structure for the income statement, requiring presentation of income and expenses within operating, investing and financing categories and mandating specified subtotals. It also sets disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures and provides enhanced guidance on aggregation and disaggregation in the financial statements and notes.

IFRS 18 does not change the recognition or measurement of items, nor the classification of items within other comprehensive income. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with retrospective application required and early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to clarify classification, measurement and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The updates address the derecognition of financial liabilities settled electronically and provide guidance on assessing contractual cash flows for features such as ESG-linked terms under the solely payments of principal and interest criterion. New disclosure requirements were also introduced for contingent features and equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.
In December 2024, further amendments were issued relating to contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity. These clarify the ‘own-use’ exception, cash flow hedge accounting and introduce new disclosure requirements.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
14) CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company is a mineral exploration and development company focusing on advancing the Blue Moon property. Its principal source of funds is the issuance of securities. The Company considers capital to be equity attributable to common shareholders, comprised of share capital, contributed surplus, and deficit. It is the Company’s objective to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to explore and develop its projects. As at December 31, 2024, certain conditions and events cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Refer to note 1(b) for more information.
The Company manages its capital structure based on the funds available for its operations and makes adjustments for changes in economic conditions, capital markets and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain its objectives, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, seek debt financing, acquire or dispose of assets or change the timing of its planned exploration and development projects. There is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.
The Company monitors its cash position on a regular basis to determine whether sufficient funds are available to meet its short-term and long-term corporate objectives.
There has been no change in the Company’s capital management practices during the year. Blue Moon does not pay dividends. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
15) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company has exposure to liquidity and credit risks from the use of financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash, restricted cash, receivables, due to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.
a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. Certain conditions cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. Refer to note 1(b) for more information regarding the Company’s liquidity risk.
b) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash, restricted cash and sales tax receivables. To reduce credit risk, substantially all cash is on deposit at Canadian chartered banks. Restricted cash are deposits held by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) in Nevada and California as well as cash held at escrow agents. As at December 31, 2024, sales tax receivables was $41,139 (2023: $5,756). Restricted cash is comprised of bonds valued at $6,302 (2023: $13,864) held by the BLM as well as cash held at escrow agent of $27,000,084 (2023: $NIL). The Company’s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of its cash, restricted cash and sales tax accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Company considers its exposure to credit risk minimal.
c) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.
Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances which are not subject to significant risks in fluctuating interest rates. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. An increase to interest rates by 1% would have an insignificant effect on the Company’s operations.
