Note to Reader

 

The Audit Committee, in consultation with management of the Company, has determined that the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, filed on December 1, 2025 should be re-filed to amend an identified error in the classification of certain amounts on the on the condensed interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The correction includes a reclassification of $1,385,702 to ‘milling – cost of sales’ from ‘care and maintenance’, $25,594 to ‘exploration costs’ from ‘care and maintenance’ and a reclassification of $33,637 to ‘deprecation’ from ‘travel and investor relations’ for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 and corresponding changes for the three month period ended September 30, 2024.

 

These unaudited amended and restated condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 replace and supersede the previously filed unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in respect of the same period filed on December 1, 2025.

Notes to Amended and Restated Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian dollars) - unaudited
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

Nicola Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “Nicola”) is a junior exploration company that is engaged in the business of identification, acquisition, and exploration of mineral property interests together with custom milling operations at its mill located in Merritt, B.C. (the “Merritt Mill”). The Company’s head office is located at 3329 Aberdeen Road, Lower Nicola, B.C. Nicola is a publicly listed company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) under the symbol “NIM.V” and on OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the ticker “HUSIF”.

 

As at September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $114,734,908 (December 31, 2024 - $111,446,249) and working capital of $3,524,458 (December 31, 2024 – working capital deficit of $2,793,541). To continue operations, the Company will be required to raise funds through the issuance of equity or debt, be successful recommencing operations at the Treasure Mountain project (“Treasure Mountain Property”) together with ongoing exploration programs at its New Craigmont property (“New Craigmont Property”), and/or achieve profitable operations at the Merritt Mill (“Merritt Mill”).

 

The Company’s business may be affected by changes in political and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, tariffs, changes in laws, and national and international circumstances. Recent geopolitical events and potential economic global challenges such as the risk of higher inflation and energy crises, may create further uncertainty and risk with respect to the prospects of the Company’s business. These factors represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

These unaudited amended and restated condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern concept, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

  a) Restatement of prior year balances

 

The Company has identified the following adjustments to previously reported amounts for the period ended September 30, 2024:

 

i)As milling and other milling related operations is considered to be the Company’s ordinary business, $74,595 of milling charges and net profit earned from concentrate sales were reclassified as milling revenue from other income. The associated milling cost of $1,799,050 was reclassified as milling - cost of sales. $878,791 remaining costs relating to care and maintenance have been reclassified as such.

 

ii)The adjustments above did not have a material impact on the Company’s total cash flows used in or provided by operating activities, cash flows used in investing activities, and cash flows provided by financing activities.

 

These changes were made in accordance with IAS 8 resulting in the restatement of prior year figures.

  b) Statement of Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards

 

These unaudited amended and restated condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, the accounting policies applied and disclosed in note 3 in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) have been condensed or omitted and these unaudited amended and restated condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.

 

These unaudited amended and restated condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on December 24, 2025.

 

  c) Basis of Consolidation

 

These unaudited amended and restated condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Huldra Properties Inc. All inter-company balances, and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

 

  d) Basis of Measurement

 

These unaudited amended and restated condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company’s and its subsidiary’s functional currency and have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. In addition, these amended and restated condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

 

  e) Use of Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements and estimates which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

i)Going concern

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to conduct its planned work program on its mineral properties, meet its on-going levels of corporate overhead and commitments, keep its properties in good standing and discharge its liabilities as they come due. These matters result in material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See note 1 for details.

 

ii)Revenue – Agent versus Principal

 

The Company uses judgment in assessing whether it is acting as an agent or principal in earning milling revenues. As part of this determination, consideration has been given as to whether the Company controls the goods being delivered to the customer, is primarily responsible for fulling the promise to provide goods to the customer, having any inventory risk, and the Company’s ability in establishing pricing. Management has reviewed the relevant factors and assessed that the Company is an agent.

iii)Impairment of non-current assets

 

Non-current assets are tested for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. Calculating the estimated fair values of cash generating units for non-current asset impairment tests requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to metal selling prices, future capital expenditures, reductions in the amount of recoverable reserves, resources, and exploration potential, production cost estimates, discount rates and exchange rates. Reduction in metal price forecasts, increases in estimated future costs of production, increases in estimated future non-expansionary capital expenditures, reductions in the amount of recoverable reserves, resources, and exploration potential, and/or adverse current economics can result in a write-down of the carrying amounts of the Company’s non-current assets.

 

  f) Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

 

The significant assumptions about the future and other major sources of estimation uncertainty as at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

i)ARO

 

The Company’s rehabilitation provision represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future cash outflows required to settle the liability. Management assesses these provisions on an annual basis or when new information becomes available. This assessment includes the estimation of the future rehabilitation costs, the timing of these expenditures, inflation, and the impact of changes in discount rates, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The actual future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided if the estimates made are significantly different than actual results or if there are significant changes in environmental and/or regulatory requirements in the future.

 

  g) Adoption of New and Revised IFRS and IFRS Not Yet Effective

 

Certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been issued that are mandatory for accounting periods noted below. Some updates that are not applicable or are not consequential to the Company may have been excluded from the list below.

 

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

 

IFRS 18 introduces three sets of new requirements to give investors more transparent and comparable information about companies’ financial performance for better investment decisions.

 

  I. Three defined categories for income and expenses (operating, investing and financing) to improve the structure of the income statement, and require all companies to provide new defined subtotals, including operating profit.

 

  II. Requirement for companies to disclose explanations of management-defined performance measures (MPMs) that are related to the income statement.

 

  III. Enhanced guidance on how to organize information and whether to provide it in the primary financial statements or in the notes.

 

This new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company is currently in the process of assessing its impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company holds a 100% interest in New Craigmont Property comprising 22 mineral claims and 10 mineral leases located in Lower Nicola, BC. The properties are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty.

 

The Company recorded an impairment write-down in relation to its Treasure Mountain Property in 2014. The property remains in good standing, and further carrying charges and evaluation costs are being charged to the consolidated statement of operations as an operating expense.

 

Dominion Creek Property

 

On May 31, 2021, the Company entered into a Mineral Property Purchase Agreement (“Dominion Purchase Agreement”) and acquired a 50% interest in 8 mineral claims known as the Dominion Creek Property from High Range Exploration Ltd (“High Range”). The Dominion Creek Property is located near Prince George, BC. The Company acquired 50% by paying $225,000, $75,000 of which was used to commence work on a 10,000-tonne bulk sample permit application. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company impaired the Dominion Creek Property by $224,999 to $1 due to delays in development.

 

The Company committed to garnering the receipt of a 10,000-tonne bulk sample permit. After the permit was received in June of 2025, Nicola commenced incremental funding of the following costs (collectively “Initial Costs”):

 

i)Camp construction costs not to exceed $50,000;

ii)Road construction upgrade costs not to exceed $300,000;

iii)Reclamation bonding costs not to exceed $100,000 (paid); and

iv)The Company also agreed to fund the project up to and including all costs to produce and ship 3,000 tons of ore.

 

A part of the Dominion Purchase Agreement, the Company entered a mining and profit sharing agreement (“Dominion Milling Agreement”). The Company would receive an even split in all profits after certain costs are reimbursed to High Range and all costs to Nicola (which includes all of Initial Costs).

The Company’s estimates of future decommissioning and restoration for reclamation and closure costs for its mine and exploration and evaluation assets are based on reclamation standards that meet Canadian regulatory requirements. Elements of uncertainty in estimating these amounts include potential changes in regulatory requirements, reclamation plans and cost estimates, discount rates and timing of expected expenditures.

 

Merritt Mill

 

The Merritt Mill reclamation costs were adjusted using a long-term inflation rate of 2.31% (2024 – 2.31%) and then discounted using a risk-free rate of 3.33% (2024 – 3.33%).

 

The Company estimates the undiscounted and uninflated reclamation costs associated with the Merritt Mill to be $15,290,830 (December 31, 2024 - $15,290,830). The Company anticipates it will settle these obligations over 14 years (2024 – 15 years).

 

Treasure Mountain

 

The Treasure Mountain reclamation costs were adjusted using a long-term inflation rate of 2.88% (2024 – 2.88%) and then discounted using a risk-free rate of 3.23% (2024 – 3.23%)

 

The Company estimates the undiscounted and uninflated reclamation costs associated with Treasure Mountain is $1,073,123 (2024 - $1,073,123). The Company anticipates it will settle these obligations over 7 years (2024 – 8 years).

14. MILLING – COST OF SALES

 

Cost of sales relate to all costs associated with operating the mill and are expensed as incurred as the Company does not control the goods or services before they are transferred to a customer. Revenue is recognized when the ore processing service is rendered by the Company, accepted by the customer, collection is reasonably assured, and performance obligations are satisfied. As a result, the recognition of milling costs does not necessarily coincide with the recognition of the related revenue and such costs are not matched to specific revenue periods.

16. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Fair Value

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, secured convertible debentures and lease liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of restricted cash approximates fair value due to the nature of this asset.

The Company records its financial instruments, other than marketable securities which are at fair value through profit or loss, at amortized cost.

 

The financial instruments have been characterized on a fair value hierarchy based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable (inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources) or unobservable (inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions).

 

The three levels of fair value estimation are:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

 

Level 2 – quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

 

Level 3 – valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Marketable securities are measured using level 1 inputs.

 

Risk Exposure and Management

 

Overview

 

The Company has exposure to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, commodity and equity price risk, and currency risk.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations. As at September 30, 2025, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and amounts receivable in the amount of $4,119,619 (December 31, 2024 - $3,570,649).

 

All off the Company’s cash is held with a major financial institution in Canada and management believes the exposure to credit risk with respect to such institutions is not significant. Those financial assets that potentially subject the Company to credit risk are primarily receivables. The Company considers the risk of material loss to be significantly mitigated due to the financial strength of the parties from whom the receivables are due, including government organizations.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company’s financial assets exposed to interest rate risk consist of cash and short-term investments balances. The interest earned on the cash balances approximates fair value rates, and the Company is not at a significant risk to fluctuating rates.

 

The Company’s secured convertible debenture which accrues interest is at a fixed rate of 10%, and does not expose the Company to interest rate risk.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it projects the funds required to support its operations.

Management anticipates that it may incur expenditures towards exploring its mineral interests and other Company assets. However, there is no assurance that the Company will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. The Company has limited working capital, no history of profitable operations and no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its mineral interests. The Company may also need further financing if it decides to obtain additional mineral properties. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to exploration enterprises, including undercapitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial, access to other resources, and lack of revenues. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through credit facilities or the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Such means of financing typically result in dilution of the positions of existing shareholders, either directly or indirectly.

 

Failure to obtain additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration.

 

September 30, 2025  Less than 12 months ($)   One to five years ($)   Total ($) 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   2,239,082    -    2,239,082 
Lease liabilities   108,726    185,542    294,268 
Secured convertible debenture   8,043    -    8,043 
Total   2,355,851    185,542    2,541,393 

 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

 

The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. As at September 30, 2025, the Company has not entered into contracts to manage foreign exchange risk.

 

Commodity and Equity Price Risk

 

The ability of the Company to explore its exploration assets, continue milling operations, and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of copper, gold, silver, and other precious metals. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s performance to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market.

 

Capital Management

 

The Company considers capital to be the elements of shareholders’ equity (deficit). The Company’s primary objectives in capital management are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain sufficient funds to finance the exploration and development of its mineral property interests and Merritt Mill operations. The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility by adjusting to changes in economic conditions, and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital and is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There have been no changes to the management of capital during the current fiscal year.
