New Found Gold Corp. 

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 

(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars Unless Otherwise Noted)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

New Found Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 6, 2016, under the Business Corporations Act in the Province of Ontario. On June 23, 2020, the Company continued as a British Columbia corporation under the Business Corporations Act in the Province of British Columbia. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 3500, The Stack, 1133 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4E5.

The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of resource properties with a focus on gold properties located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The Company’s exploration and evaluation assets presently have no proven or probable reserves, and on the basis of information to date, it has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable resources. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves or the Company’s ability to recover the value of exploration and evaluation assets through their sale, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production.

These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis and do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing. As at September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $296,356,838 and shareholders’ equity of $78,910,990. In addition, the Company has a working capital surplus, calculated as current assets less current liabilities, of $35,884,294, consisting primarily of cash, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $39,197,272 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Management is actively targeting sources of additional financing through alliances with financial, exploration and mining entities, or other business and financial transactions which would support continuation of the Company’s operations and exploration programs. In order for the Company to meet its liabilities as they come due and to continue its operations, the Company is solely dependent upon its ability to generate such financing. These items give rise to material uncertainties that cast significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 11, 2024.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

a) Statement of compliance

The Company’s condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as applicable to interim financial reports including International Accounting Standards 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 

(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars Unless Otherwise Noted)

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)

a) Statement of compliance (continued)

These condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information and note disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The policies applied in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the most recent annual financial statements and were consistently applied to all the periods presented.

b) Basis of presentation

These condensed interim financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as subsequently measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

c) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the Company applied the critical judgments and estimates disclosed in Note 2 of its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, with the addition of the following:

Asset acquisition versus business combination

Management applied judgment with respect to whether the acquisition of the Kingsway Project (as defined in Note 3 (i)), was an asset acquisition or a business combination. The assessment required management to assess the inputs, processes and outputs acquired at the time of acquisition. Pursuant to the assessment, the Kingsway Project acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition.

d) Initial application of standards, interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations in the reporting period

The IASB issued certain new accounting standards or amendments that are mandatory for accounting periods on or after January 1, 2024, includingamendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current”, amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases”, and amendments to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flow” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments Disclosures”. The effect of such new accounting standards or amendments did not have a material impact on the Company and therefore the Company did not record any adjustments to the financial statements.

e) New and amended IFRS standards not yet effective

Certain new accounting standards or interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. These standards and interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, except for IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”.

e) New and amended IFRS standards not yet effective (continued)

IFRS 18 includes requirements for all entities applying IFRS for the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements and has an effective date of January 1, 2027. The effects of the adoption of IFRS 18 on the Company’s financial statements have not yet been determined.

(i) Queensway Project – Gander, Newfoundland

As at September 30, 2024, the Company owned a 100% interest in 103 (December 31, 2023 – 96) mineral licenses including 7,024 claims (December 31, 2023 – 6,659 claims) comprising 175,600 hectares of land (December 31, 2023 – 166,475) located near Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. The project rights were acquired by map staking mineral licenses and making staged payments in cash and common shares of the Company from 2016 through 2022 under ten separate option agreements, of which nine are completed. The Queensway Project carries various net smelter return (“NSR”) royalties ranging from 0.4% to 2.50%, many of which include buy-back provisions that allow the Company, at its option, to reduce the NSR by making lump-sum payments ranging from $250,000 to $1,000,000 to the holders of the royalties. The total cost of the NSR’s if the Company were to exercise all of its buy-back rights is $4,250,000 resulting in NSR’s ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% for the mineral licenses subject to an NSR royalty.

On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive property option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in five mineral licenses located in Gander, Newfoundland. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company may exercise the option by issuing an aggregate of 487,078 common shares in the capital of the Company and making aggregate cash payments of $2,350,000 to the optionors as follows:

· $200,000 (paid) and 39,762 common shares (issued) on the later of (i) staking confirmation date as defined in the Option Agreement and (ii) the receipt of the TSX Venture Exchange’s approval;

· $200,000 (paid) and 39,762 common shares on or before November 2, 2023 (issued);

· $250,000 (paid subsequent to September 30, 2024) and 69,583 common shares on or before November 2, 2024 (issued subsequent to September 30, 2024);

· $300,000 and 89,463 common shares on or before November 2, 2025;

The transaction closed on August 8, 2024. Pursuant to the acquisition, the Company paid aggregate cash consideration of $1,950,000 and aggregate share consideration of 300,000 common shares with a combined value of $1,011,000 to the Vendors (Note 10).

The Company has the right to purchase the remaining 1% net smelter returns royalty from the Vendors for an aggregate price equal to $1,000,000 (the “Repurchase Price”) by November 12, 2024, payable by (i) an aggregate of $100,000 and (ii) an additional $4,950, in the aggregate, per year until the Repurchase Price has been satisfied. Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company purchased the remaining 1% net smelter returns royalty from the Vendors for aggregate cash consideration of $1,000,000, fully satisfying the Repurchase Price, which is payable by January 2025.

The issuance of the Notes included a 40% warrant coverage resulting in the Company receiving 15,324,571 warrants (“Warrants”). These warrants were classified by the Company as investments at FVTPL (Note 5).

The Company has allocated the gross investment of US$1,960,000 (CAD$2,638,500) to the Notes and warrants based on their respective fair values at initial recognition.

The Company has a share purchase option plan (the “Plan”) approved by the Company’s shareholders that allows it to grant share purchase options, subject to regulatory terms and approval, to its officers, directors, employees and service providers. The Plan is based on the maximum number of eligible shares not exceeding 10% in the aggregate and 5% with respect to any one optionee of the Company’s outstanding common shares in any twelve-month period. If outstanding share purchase options are exercised or expire, and/or the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company increases, then the share purchase options available to grant under the Plan increase proportionately.

The exercise price and vesting terms of each share purchase option is set by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. Share purchase options granted are subject to a four-month hold period and exercisable for a period determined by the Board of Directors which cannot exceed ten years.

14. SETTLEMENT OF LEGAL CLAIM

On November 15, 2019, ThreeD Capital Inc. (“ThreeD”) and 1313366 Ontario Inc. (“131” and together with ThreeD, the “Plaintiffs”) each entered into share purchase agreements (the “Share Purchase Agreements”) with Palisades Goldcorp Ltd. (“Palisades”) under which Palisades agreed to purchase the 13,500,000 common shares of the Company owned by ThreeD and the 4,000,000 common shares of the Company owned by 131 for $0.08 per common share. The transactions closed on November 20, 2019. As a private company with restrictions on the transfer of its common shares, the Company had to approve the proposed transfer, which it did by a consent resolution of the Board.

On March 10, 2020, ThreeD Capital Inc. and 131 filed a statement of claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Collin Kettell, Palisades and the Company (the “ThreeD Claim”). Pursuant to the ThreeD Claim, the Plaintiffs are challenging the validity of the sale of 17,500,000 common shares by the Plaintiffs to Palisades on November 20, 2019. ThreeD and 131 claim that at the time of negotiation and execution of the Share Purchase Agreements, Palisades and Mr. Kettell were aware of positive drill results from the Company’s 2019 Drill Program and the results were not disclosed to ThreeD and 131 to their detriment. Palisades and Mr. Kettell strongly deny ThreeD and 131’s allegations. ThreeD and 131 made specific claims for (a) recission of the Share Purchase Agreements on the basis of oppression or unfair prejudice; (b) or alternatively, damages in the amount of $21,000,000 for the alleged improper actions by ThreeD and 131, (c) a declaration that Palisades and Collin Kettell, as shareholder or director and/or officer of the Company, have had acted in a manner that is oppressive, unfairly prejudicial or unfairly disregarded their interests, (d) a declaration that Palisades and Collin Kettell engaged in insider trading contrary to section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario), (e) unjust enrichment and (f) interests and costs. Palisades and Mr. Kettell refuted each of the specific claims made by the Plaintiffs.

The Company filed a statement of defence in response to the ThreeD Claim on June 12, 2020, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company denies that it is a proper party to the ThreeD Claim and the allegations against it therein, including because no relief is claimed against the Company in paragraph 1 of the ThreeD Claim. The action progressed through the production of documents and oral examinations for discovery stages.

14. SETTLEMENT OF LEGAL CLAIM (continued)

In early 2022, the Plaintiffs formally amended their statement of claim to increase the amount claimed to $229,000,000 and to advance a direct claim of oppressive conduct against the Company. While continuing to deny any and all liability to the Plaintiffs, the Company had amended its defence to include specific denials of the new allegations of oppressive conduct against it. The parties completed an additional round of examinations for discovery in January 2023, following which the plaintiffs set the action down for trial. The parties had a mediation meeting on October 3, 2023, but were unable to settle the case.

On June 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which the Plaintiffs received a total of 3,750,000 common shares of the Company from the Defendants. Palisades transferred 2,607,434 common shares of the Company to ThreeD and 772,566 common shares of the Company to 131. The Company issued 285,429 common shares to ThreeD and 84,571 common shares to 131 with a total value of $1,750,100 recorded in the condensed interim statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Settlement Agreement resolves the lawsuit completely, does not include any admission of liability and provides for fulsome releases by the Plaintiffs to the Defendants.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company thoroughly examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

(a) Fair Values

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are recognized according to a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value are its investments, which includes equities, warrants and Notes held. The fair value of equities held is determined using closing prices at the statement of financial position date with any unrealized gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The Company’s equities that are subject to non-standard restrictions, warrants and Notes are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Warrants are not traded on an active exchange and are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions including risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected remaining life of the warrant which are supported by observable market conditions. The Notes are not traded on an active exchange and are valued using the Hull-White valuation model using assumptions including coupon rate, credit spread, mean reversion, rate volatility, riskless rate curve and redemption prices.

The carrying values of other financial instruments, including cash, deposits, interest receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and lease liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

(b) Financial Instrument Risk Exposure

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is subject to credit risk resulting from its investment in Maritime secured notes (Note 7), in which case the Company’s maximum exposure is the full value of the secured notes of $2,609,341 at September 30, 2024. Interest receivable on the Maritime secured notes is collected quarterly. Sales taxes recoverable is due from the Canada Revenue Agency and the Company places its cash with financial institutions with high credit ratings, therefore in management’s judgment, credit risk related to sales taxes recoverable and cash is low.

There have been no changes in management’s methods for managing credit risk since December 31, 2023.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company has historically relied on issuance of shares to fund exploration programs and may require doing so again in the future. As at September 30, 2024, the Company has total liabilities of $10,761,096 and cash of $39,108,421 which is available to discharge these liabilities (December 31, 2023 – total liabilities of $19,076,473 and cash of $53,884,809). As at September 30, 2024, the Company must spend another $12,195,320 of Qualifying CEE by December 31, 2024 to satisfy its remaining current flow-through liability of $3,330,585.

There have been no changes in management’s methods for managing liquidity risk since December 31, 2023.

(b) Financial Instrument Risk Exposure (continued)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates will affect the Company’s net earnings or the value of financial instruments. The objective of the Company is to manage and mitigate market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

(i) Currency risk

Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net earnings or other comprehensive income due to currency fluctuation include cash accounts, secured notes, interest receivable, investments and accounts payable and accrued liabilities denominated in US dollars. The sensitivity of the Company’s net loss to changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar at September 30, 2024 would change the Company’s net loss by $360,536 as a result of a 10% change in the exchange rate.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As the Company deposits its cash into demand accounts with minimal interest rates, the interest rate risk is not significant. Interest receivable on secured notes is determined based on a floating interest rate and therefore subject to interest rate fluctuations, the interest rate risk is not material.

(iii) Commodity price risk

Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company’s property has exposure to predominantly gold. Commodity prices, especially gold, greatly affect the value of the Company and the potential value of its property and investments.

(iv) Equity price risk

Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of or future cash flows from the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company is exposed to market risk in trading its investments in unfavorable market conditions which could result in dispositions of investments at less than favorable prices. Additionally, the Company adjusts its investments to fair value at the end of each reporting period. This process could result in write-downs of the Company’s investments over one or more reporting periods, particularly during periods of overall market instability. The sensitivity of the Company’s net loss to changes in market prices at September 30, 2024 would change the Company’s net loss by $157,408 as a result of a 10% change in the market price of its investments.

There have been no changes in management’s methods for managing market risks since December 31, 2023.
