Lion Copper and Gold Corp.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited - In thousands of U.S. Dollars except for shares and per share amounts)

Lion Copper and Gold Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, "Lion CG" or the "Company") is a Canadian-based company advancing its flagship copper assets in Mason Valley, Nevada with Rio Tinto America, Inc. in addition to advancing its exploration projects including the Chaco Bear and Ashton properties in highly prospective regions in British Columbia, Canada. The Company is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Its registered and records offices are located at 1200 - 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2T8. On November 22, 2021, the Company changed its name from Quaterra Resources Inc. to Lion Copper and Gold Corp. The shares of the Company commenced trading under the new name at the open of trading on November 23, 2021. The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "LEO" and trade on the OTCQB Market under the symbol "LCGMF".

The Company acquires its mineral properties through option or lease agreements and capitalizes all acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs related to the properties. The underlying value of the amounts recorded as mineral properties does not reflect current or future values. The Company's continued existence depends on discovering the economically recoverable mineral reserves and obtaining the necessary funding to complete the development of these properties.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will be able to meet its commitments, continue operations and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for at least twelve months from September 30, 2022. The Company has incurred ongoing losses and expects to incur further losses in the advancement of its business activities. For the nine months ended as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,116 (2021 - $1,906). As at September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $2,247 (December 31, 2021 - $842), working capital surplus of $75 (December 31, 2021 - deficit of $522) and an accumulated deficit of $95,752 (December 31, 2021 - $94,636).

The Company continues to incur losses, has limited financial resources, and has no current source of revenue or cash flow generated from operating activities. To address its financing requirements, the Company plans to seek financing through, but not limited to, debt financing, equity financing and strategic alliances. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be available. If adequate financing is not available or cannot be obtained on a timely basis, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its exploration programs or relinquish some or all of its rights under the existing option and acquisition agreements. The above factors give rise to material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

If the going concern assumptions were not appropriate for these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, liabilities, the reported expenses, and the consolidated statement of financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), effective for financial year ended December 31, 2022.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for the cash flow information.

The Company consolidates an entity when it has power over that entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with that entity and can affect those returns through its control over that entity. All material intercompany transactions, balances and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Lion Copper and Gold Corp., and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Quaterra Alaska Inc. (Quaterra Alaska), Singatse Peak Services, LLC ("SPS") and Blue Copper LLC. On March 30, 2022, Six Mile Mining Company, was dissolved and its assets were transferred to Quaterra Alaska Inc.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2022.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 28, 2022.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 3 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for those summarized below. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Investment in associate is comprised of the Company's investment in Falcon Butte Minerals Corp. ("Falcon Butte"). An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to

participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not in control or joint control over those policies. The Company's investment in Falcon Butte is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Company's share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately.

After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss on its investment in its associate. At each reporting date, the Company determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value, and then recognizes the loss within 'Share of profit of an associate' in the statement of comprehensive loss.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.

Total mineral property maintenance and exploration costs are listed in the table below:

The Company owns a 100% interest in the MacArthur and Yerington properties. It has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Bear and Wassuk properties in Nevada, a 100% interest in the Blue Copper Project in Montana, a 100% interest in the Chaco Bear and Ashton property in British Columbia, and a 90% interest in the Groundhog property in Alaska. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold and assigned the Butte Valley option agreements to a related Company.

On February 24, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell certain primary groundwater rights to Desert Pearl Farms LLC ("Desert Pearl"), a Yerington-based company involved in agriculture, for $2,910 (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement"). In early March, 2021, the Company filed an application with the State of Nevada Division of Water Resources ("NDWR") to change the manner of use of the water rights from mining to agriculture and their place of use ("Change Application"). The Change Application was subsequently withdrawn on October 17, 2022.

Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Desert Pearl made a $1,000 initial payment to the Company on March 5, 2021. On May 26, 2022, the company announced it had reached an amicable agreement with Desert Pearl Farms to terminate the contract on the sale of the Company's water rights. As a consequence of the termination, the Company will recover the water permit designated for mining and milling use. The $1,000 deposit has been returned to Desert Pearl Farms. This water permit is currently subject to court proceedings and settlement discussions between the Company and the State of Nevada, as discussed in the following paragraph.

On July 23, 2021, the Company received a notice from the State of Nevada that three water rights permits had been forfeited. Further, that the application for an extension of time to prevent forfeiture of a fourth certificate was denied. The permits affected are components of the Purchase and Sale Agreement announced on February 24, 2021. On August 20, 2021, the Company filed a Petition for Judicial Review of the Forfeiture Notice and has retained legal counsel to vigorously undertake the appeal process. SPS subsequently filed and was granted a Stay of the Forfeiture Notice on September 15, 2021. SPS filed its Opening Brief on March 28, 2022. The State Engineer filed its Answering Brief on July 8, 2022. SPS filed its Reply Brief on August 25, 2022. A hearing regarding the status of the forfeiture appeal was held in the Third Judicial Court District in Lyon County on Nov 4, 2022 with the Judge expected to provide a ruling by mid-December, 2022. Since receipt of the Forfeiture Notice, SPS has been in contact with the State Engineer's office in an attempt to resolve the Forfeiture Notice.

The Company has five option agreements, entered from March 2013 to May 2015, to acquire a 100% interest in private land in Yerington, Nevada, collectively known as the Bear deposit. Under the terms of these option agreements, as amended, the Company is required to make $5,673 in cash payments over 15 years ($5,122 paid) to maintain the exclusive right to purchase the land, mineral rights, and certain water rights and to conduct mineral exploration on these properties. Two of the properties are subject to a 2% NSR upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 1% NSR in consideration of $1,250 total.

Outstanding payments to keep the five option agreements current are as follows, by year:

The Wassuk property consists of 310 unpatented lode claims totaling approximately 6,400 acres on lands administered by the BLM.

The Company has completed all requirements to earn a 100% interest in certain unpatented mining claims in Lyon County, Nevada, ($1,405 in cash payments and a work commitment of $50). During 2021, two final option payments were paid and form part of the total payments of $1,405. The Company has now satisfied all conditions required to execute the option to purchase.

The property is subject to a 3% NSR upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 2% NSR royalty in consideration of $1,500.

On April 20, 2017, the Company entered a lease with option to purchase agreement with Chuchuna Minerals Company ("Chuchuna") to earn a 90% interest in the Groundhog copper prospect, located two hundred miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the lease agreement was further extended from six to seven years, providing the Company more time to make the required exploration expenditures and lump sum payment. To earn the 90% interest, the Company must fund a total of $5,000 ($2,740 funded) of exploration expenditures and make a lump sum payment to Chuchuna of $3,000 by the end of April 20, 2024. The Company can terminate the Agreement at its discretion.

The property is subject to a 1.75% NSR upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 0.875% NSR royalty in consideration of $25,000.

On January 26, 2022, the Company entered into a property acquisition agreement to sell and assign its options to acquire the Butte Valley property to Falcon Butte Minerals Corp. (formerly 1301666 B.C. Ltd, or "Falcon Butte.") which is a private British Columbia company established to acquire mineral resource properties.

Pursuant to the agreement, Lion CG's 100% owned subsidiary Quaterra Alaska was granted an equity position in Falcon Butte (Note 5). In addition, Quaterra Alaska will maintain a 1.5% NSR on each of the Butte Valley optioned properties, which is subject to a buy-down to a 1.0% NSR in exchange for a payment of $7,500 per property ("Butte Valley Royalty").

On April 5, 2022, the Company completed the assignment of the two option agreements for the Butte Valley Property and the Company received 16,049,444 common shares of Falcon Butte with a fair value of $1,906 and $500 cash for the property, resulting in a gain on sale of $1,208 (Note 5, 11).

On April 13, 2022, the Company amended the agreement. Pursuant to the addendum Falcon Butte will pay a total of $500 in exchange for a 0.5% buy-down and retirement of certain NSRs held by the company. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has received $500.

On August 25, 2021, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Houston Minerals Ltd. ("Houston") setting forth the terms of an option whereby the Company may acquire a 100% interest in the Chaco Bear Property located directly east of the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, and the Ashton Property located near Lytton, British Columbia (Collectively, the "Properties").

Under the terms of the LOI, the Company and Houston proposed to enter into a definitive agreement whereby the Company can earn up to a 100% interest in the Properties by making the following issuances and payments over a four-year period:

On September 17, 2021, the parties agreed to an amendment to the LOI to include a 2.5% NSR on each property. Prior to feasibility, the Company may reduce the NSR to 1.0% on the Chaco Bear Property in consideration for a payment of CAD$6,000 and 1.0% on the Ashton Property for a payment of CAD$3,000. Post feasibility, the Company may purchase the remaining 1.0% NSR on the Chaco Bear Property for CAD$12,000 and the remaining 1.0% NSR on the Ashton Property for CAD$6,000.

On January 26, 2022, the Company entered into an option agreement with Houston Minerals Ltd. to replace the LOI dated August 25, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the option agreement, the Company may acquire a 100% interest in the Chaco Bear Property located directly east of the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, and the Ashton Property located near Lytton, British Columbia, subject to a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty.

The terms of the option agreement are unchanged from the LOI except that the term of the option has changed from a four year period to a ten year period and annual advance royalty payments in the amounts of CAD$250 on the Chaco Bear Property and CAD$150 on the Ashton Property are to be paid starting on the fifth year from

closing through to the ninth year from closing instead of only in the fourth and fifth years from the closing. All other consideration terms remain unchanged.

In addition, commencing on January 31, 2022, and on January 31 of each year thereafter during the Option Period, Lion CG shall pay the following option maintenance fees to Houston: (a) CAD$60 in respect of the Chaco Bear Property; and (b) CAD$40 in respect of the Ashton Property (Note 17(b)).

Lion CG funded an initial work program in 2021 of CAD$200 on the Properties in consideration for the grant of the Option, and on March 16, 2022, the transaction was closed. The Company may exercise the Option for a period of up to ten years to acquire (i) the Chaco Bear property by paying CAD$1,500 to Houston, in cash or in common shares of the Company at the Company's option; and/or (ii) the Ashton Property by paying CAD$1,000 to Houston in cash or in common shares of the Company at the Company's option, and in either case common shares will be valued using the volume weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares for the twenty trading day period ending three trading days prior to the date of issuance of such Lion CG shares, with such cash payments being subject to a discount of between 5% and 15% based on the timing of exercise and cumulative exploration expenditures incurred as at the time of exercise. Houston will retain a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty on any of the Properties for which an Option has been exercised by the Company.

During the year ended as of December 31, 2021, Blue Copper LLC (the Company's 100% owned subsidiary) acquired and staked a district scale exploration and resource discovery opportunity (the "Blue Copper Prospect"), comprising more than 7,430 acres in Powell County and Lewis & Clark County in Montana, USA. The area is prospective for high grade copper-gold skarns and porphyry copper-gold mineralization. The claim block encompasses a group of more than fourteen historic small mines that produced high grade gold, copper, and tungsten.

As a part of the transaction, Blue Copper LLC entered into a purchase agreement with Four O Six Mining & Exploration LLC to acquire certain existing and additional unpatented mining claims. In exchange for the unpatented mining claims, as part of the closing of the transaction, the Company issued 1,500,000 common shares of the capital of the Company (Note 9) and provided a NSR of 2.0% with a buy-down of 1% NSR for $1,500.

Blue Copper LLC has staked an additional 131 claims to expand the Blue Copper Prospect. The Company has provided a NSR of 2% with a buy-down of 1% NSR for $600 to Four O Six Mining & Exploration LLC for these claims.

On February 14, 2022, as a part of the Blue Copper Prospect transaction, the Company issued 1,500,000 common shares as part of the closing of the transaction (Note 9).

On March 18, 2022, the Company entered into an Option to Earn-in Agreement with Rio Tinto America Inc. ("Rio Tinto") to advance studies and exploration at Lion CG's copper assets in Mason Valley, Nevada. Under the agreement, Rio Tinto has the option to earn a 65% interest in the assets, comprising 34,494 acres of land, including the historic Yerington mine, greenfield MacArthur Project, Wassuk property, the Bear deposit, and associated water rights (the "Mining Assets"). In addition, Rio Tinto will evaluate the potential commercial deployment of its Nuton™ technologies at the site. Nuton™ offers copper heap leaching technologies developed by Rio Tinto to deliver greater copper recovery from mined ore and access new sources of copper

such as low-grade sulphide resources and reprocessing of stockpiles and mineralized waste. The technologies have the potential to deliver leading environmental performance through more efficient water usage, lower carbon emission, and the ability to reclaim mine sites by reprocessing waste.

Rio Tinto will pay up to four million U.S. dollars ($4,000) for an exclusive earn-in option and agreed-upon Mason Valley study and evaluation works to be completed by Lion CG no later than December 31, 2022 (paid) (Note 6).

Within forty-five (45) days of the completion of Stage 1, Rio Tinto will provide notice to Lion CG whether Rio Tinto elects to proceed with Stage 2, upon which Rio Tinto will pay up to five million U.S. dollars ($5,000) for agreed-upon Mason Valley study and evaluation works to be completed by Lion CG within 12 months from the date that the parties agree upon the scope of Stage 2 work.

Stages 1 and 2 may be accelerated at Rio Tinto's option.

Stage 3 - Feasibility Study

Within sixty (60) days of the completion of Stage 2, Rio Tinto shall provide notice to Lion CG whether Rio Tinto will exercise its Option and fund a Feasibility Study based on the results of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 work programs. Rio Tinto will fully-fund the Feasibility Study and ancillary work completed by Lion CG in amount not to exceed fifty million U.S. dollars ($50,000).

Upon completion of the Feasibility Study, Rio Tinto and Lion CG will decide whether to create an investment vehicle into which the Mining Assets will be transferred, with Rio Tinto holding not less than a 65% interest in the investment vehicle.

• If Rio Tinto elects to not to create the investment vehicle, then Lion CG shall grant to Rio Tinto a 1.5% NSR on the Mining Assets.

• If Rio Tinto elects to create the investment vehicle but Lion CG elects not to create the investment vehicle, then, at Rio Tinto's option, Lion CG shall create the investment vehicle and Rio Tinto will purchase Lion CG's interest in the investment vehicle for fair market value.

• Following the formation of the investment vehicle, any project financing costs incurred will be funded by Rio Tinto and Lion CG in proportion to their respective ownership interest in the investment vehicle.

• Rio Tinto may elect to fund up to sixty million U.S. dollars ($60,000) of Lion CG 's project financing costs in exchange for a 10% increase in Rio Tinto's ownership percentage. In addition, upon mutual agreement of Rio Tinto and Lion CG, Rio Tinto may fund an additional forty million U.S. dollars ($40,000) of Lion CG's project financing costs in exchange for an additional 5% increase in Rio Tinto's ownership percentage.

• If Lion CG's ownership percentage in the investment vehicle is diluted to 10% or less, then Lion CG's ownership interest will be converted into a 1% uncapped NSR.

On April 27, 2022, the Company TSX Venture Exchange approved the Company's Option to Earn-in Agreement with Rio Tinto America Inc.

On May 17, 2022, Rio Tinto approved the Stage 1 Work Program and provided $4,000 to the Company for the development of the Mason Valley projects, which are currently in progress (Note 6).

On April 5, 2022, the Company received 16,049,444 shares in Falcon Butte Minerals Corp. (formerly 1301666 BC Ltd., "Falcon Butte"), which is a private British Columbia company established to acquire mineral resource properties, in connection with a property acquisition agreement to assign the Company's options to acquire the Butte Valley property (Note 4). At the time of acquisition, the 16,049,444 shares represented 25.54% of shares outstanding, or 20.48% of the potential voting rights of Falcon Butte which includes unexercised warrants, and as at September 30, 2022, the Company's share ownership was reduced to 21.53%, and potential voting rights were diluted to 17.14%. The Company and Falcon Butte have common directors and managerial personnel, as such, management has assessed that the Company has significant influence over Falcon Butte and that the investment should be accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

The opening balance of the in investment was determined to be $1,906 ($2,374 CAD) which represents the fair value of the shares received. The value of the shares was determined based on Falcon Butte's financing that closed concurrently with the property acquisition. The Company's share of net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are $42 and $73 respectively. The portion of net loss attributable to the Company was determined using the percentage of voting rights held by the Company throughout the period.

The Company has certain outstanding share purchase warrants that are exercisable in a different currency from the Company's functional currency. These warrants are classified as derivative liabilities and carried at fair value and revalued at each reporting date. These warrants expired during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and thus, the derivative liability attached to these have been valued at $nil.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company closed the first two tranches of its non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible debentures (Note 8). The debentures allow the holder the option to elect to be repaid in kind at any time prior to maturity by way of shares the Company holds in Falcon Butte, or its successor, at a rate of $0.25 per Falcon Butte share. The conversion option is classified as a derivative liability and carried at fair value and revalued at each reporting date.

A reconciliation of the changes in the derivative liability during the period is as follows:

Balance December 31, 2020	$	51
Change in fair value		4
Balance December 31, 2021		55
Derivative related to convertible debentures - recognition		313
Change in fair value - conversion option		3
Change in fair value - warrants		(55	)
Balance September 30, 2022	$	316

On June 17, 2022, the company closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $1,075 (Note 11). The debentures bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum and mature on February 17, 2024 and are convertible into shares of the Company at $0.067 per share until June 17, 2023 and thereafter at $0.078 per share. The holder also has the option to elect at any time prior to the election date to be repaid by way of shares the Company owns of Falcon Butte (Note 5) at the rate of $0.25 per Falcon Butte share. The option to be repaid in Falcon Butte shares represents a derivative liability as the holder has the option to convert the debt into a financial asset of the Company (Note 7).

In conjunction with the first tranche of the convertible debt financing, the Company issued 16,044,774 warrants. The warrants are exercisable into one common share of the Company at $0.067 per share and expire on February 17, 2024.

The convertible debentures were determined to be a financial instrument comprising an embedded derivative liability classified conversion feature with a host debt component. On initial recognition, the Company used the residual value method to allocate the principal amount of the debentures between the two components. The fair value of the debt was valued first, followed by the fair value of the conversion option to Falcon Butte shares or Lion Copper and Gold shares with the residual allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the debt was estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument, estimated to be 11% per annum. A total amount of $145 was allocated to the conversion option, with remaining amount of $34 allocated to warrants.

On July 8, 2022, the company closed the second tranche of its non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $800 (Note 11). The Company approved a tranche of $925, of which the remaining $125 was received subsequent to the period end from the Vice President of ESG of the Company (Note 17). The debentures bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum and mature on March 8, 2024 and are convertible into shares of the Company at $0.067 per share until July 8, 2023 and thereafter at $0.078 per share. The holder also has the option to elect at any time prior to the election date to be repaid by way of shares the Company owns of Falcon Butte (Note 5) at the rate of $0.25 per Falcon Butte share. The option to be repaid in Falcon Butte shares represents a derivative liability as the holder has the option to convert the debt into a financial asset of the Company (Note 7).

In conjunction with the second tranche of the convertible debt financing, the Company issued 11,940,293 warrants. The warrants are exercisable into one common share of the Company at $0.067 per share and expire on March 8, 2024.

The convertible debentures were determined to be a financial instrument comprising an embedded derivative liability classified conversion feature with a host debt component. On initial recognition, the Company used the residual value method to allocate the principal amount of the debentures between the two components. The fair value of the debt was valued first, followed by the fair value of the conversion option to Falcon Butte shares or Lion Copper and Gold shares with the residual allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the debt was estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument, estimated to be 16% per annum. A total amount of $168 was allocated to the conversion option, with remaining amount of $17 allocated to warrants.

The fair value of the conversion feature was determined based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the assumptions set out as follows:

$68 in accrued interest was owing on the convertible debt as of September 30, 2022 (2021- $Nil).

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value.

a) On February 17, 2022, as a part of the Blue Copper Prospect transaction, the Company issued 1,500,000 common shares with a fair value of $119 as part of the closing of the transaction (Note 4(g)).

a) On January 26, 2022, the Company entered into a property acquisition agreement to assign its options to acquire the Butte Valley property to Falcon Butte, which is a private British Columbia company established to acquire mineral resource properties.

On April 13, 2022, the Company amended the agreement. Pursuant to the addendum Falcon Butte will pay a total of $500 in exchange for a 0.5% buy-down and retirement of certain NSRs. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has received $500 (Note 4(e)).

b) As per their agreements with the Company, the CEO and President/CFO are entitled to receive an annual grant of options under the Stock Option Plan of the Company on each Annual Review Date.

To acquire certain mineral property interests as per Note 4, the Company must make optional acquisition expenditures to satisfy the terms of existing option agreements, failing which the rights to such mineral properties will revert to the property vendors.

On July 23, 2021, the Company received notice from the State of Nevada that the State has not approved extensions of three water rights permits purchased by its subsidiary, SPS in 2011. The State also advised that a fourth permit would not be extended after a period of an additional year.

On August 20, 2021, the Company filed a Petition for Judicial Review of the Forfeiture Notice and has retained legal counsel to initiate and vigorously undertake the appeal process. This appeal process is ongoing as discussed in Note 4(a).

The Company considers its capital to be equity, comprising share capital, reserves, and deficit. The Company's objectives are to ensure sufficient financial flexibility to achieve its ongoing business objectives, including the funding of future growth opportunities, the pursuit of accretive acquisitions, and to maximize shareholder return through enhancing the share value.

The Company manages capital through its budgeting and forecasting processes. The Company reviews its working capital and forecasts its future cash flows based on operating expenditures and other investing and financing activities.

To maintain its objectives, the Company may issue new shares, adjust capital spending, acquire, or dispose of assets. There is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.

There was no change in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended September 30, 2022. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The board of directors has overall responsibility for establishing and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. Financial instruments consist of cash, investments, accounts payable, derivative liabilities and convertible debentures.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

The Company's activities expose it to financial risks of varying degrees of significance, which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and commodity price risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework and reviews the Company's policies on an ongoing basis.

The investment in associate is considered to represent a level 3 fair value measurement.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. To mitigate this risk, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to determine the funds required to support its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company ensures that sufficient funds are raised from equity offerings or debt financings to meet its operating requirements, after considering existing cash and expected exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants. See Note 1 for further discussion.

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in the United States and Canada; therefore, it is exposed to currency risk from transactions denominated in CAD. Currently, the Company does not have any foreign exchange hedge programs and manages its operational CAD requirements through spot

purchases in the foreign exchange markets. Based on CAD financial assets and liabilities' magnitude, the Company does not have material sensitivity to CAD to USD exchange rates.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the interest rate risk on its liabilities through its outstanding borrowings and the interest earned on cash balances. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and maintains an investment policy that focuses primarily on the preservation of capital and liquidity.

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in large Canadian financial institutions that have high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

On October 28, 2022, $125 of an investor's subscription in the convertible debenture financing that closed on July 8, 2022, was assigned to the Vice President of ESG of the Company and per the terms of the debenture, the holder was granted 1,865,671 warrants exercisable at $0.067 per share expiring on March 8, 2024. The terms of the convertible debt remain unchanged from those listed in Note 8.

On November 1, 2022, the Company amended an employment agreement with the CEO of the Company. The CEO will continue to receive remuneration of $250, however, 52% of the salary will be paid in shares of Falcon Butte. The deemed price will be equal to the greater of $0.28 per share and the latest cash financing price raised by Falcon Butte. On November 1, 2022, $32.5 of the annual salary will be converted to Falcon Butte shares and February 1, 2023, $32.5 will be converted to Falcon Butte shares. The payment terms are applicable for six months beginning November 1, 2022, and these payment terms can be extended on a quarterly basis.

On November 8, 2022, the Company transferred its interests in Blue Copper LLC, Groundhog, Butte Valley Royalty, and the Nieves project to Blue Copper Resources Corp. ("Blue Copper"), a recently incorporated subsidiary of the Company, at a deemed aggregate price of $1,150. Charles Travis Naugle, a director and officer of the Company also acquired a 20.7% equity interest in Blue Copper in exchange for $300.

Under U.S. federal securities laws, issuers must assess their foreign private issuer status as of the last business day of their second fiscal quarter. It was announced that more than 50% of the Company's common shares are held by U.S. shareholders, and the Company no longer meets the definition of a foreign private issuer under the United States securities laws. As a result, commencing in 2023, the Company will be required to use forms and rules prescribed for U.S. domestic companies, including the requirement that financial statements be presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP instead of IFRS. The Company's common shares will continue to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and quoted on the OTCQB.
