Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. Nature of operations and going concern
Western Atlas Resources Inc. (the "Company") is a company domiciled in Canada. The address of the Company's registered office is Suite 1700, Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 2X8. The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary, Western Atlas Holding Corp., formerly Western Atlas (Nunavut) Holding Corp, which in turn has one wholly owned subsidiaries, 5530 Nunavut Inc., which is domiciled in Canada.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company for both periods presented comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Company" and individually as "Company entities"). The Company and its subsidiaries are primarily involved in the discovery, acquisition, and development of mineral deposits in premier mining jurisdictions.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will be able to continue its operation as a going concern for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $111,142 (quarter ended March 31, 2023 - $156,423). At March 31, 2024, the Company had not achieved profitable operations, had an accumulated deficit of $6,156,174 (December 31, 2023 - $6,045,032) and expects to incur further losses as it develops its business and explores its mineral property interests. The Company will be required to raise additional financing to maintain its operations; all of the factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is in the process of exploring its exploration and evaluation assets and has not yet determined whether they contain resources that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon, among other things, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary mining and environmental permits, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the mineral property.
The ability of the Company to carry out its planned business objectives and continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise adequate financing from lenders, shareholders, and other investors, and/or generate operating profitability and positive cash flow from its mineral property interests. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain the additional financial resources necessary and/or achieve profitability or positive cash flows from its future operations. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, the Company would be required to curtail its planned operations and exploration and development activities which may impact the Company's ability to maintain its mineral property interest.
The Company's business may be affected by changes in political and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, 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 also create further uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company's business.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recorded amounts and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of preparation
-
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). - Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments carried at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. - Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its Canadian subsidiaries. The functional currency of Andes Ecosucursal S.A.S. is in US dollars. - Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates
Significant areas requiring the use of estimates and assumptions are as follows:
Share-based compensation
The fair value of share-based payments is subject to the limitations of the Black-Scholes option pricing model that incorporates market data and involves uncertainty in estimates used by management in the assumptions. Because the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share prices, changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
Judgments
Critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Going Concern
The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay its ongoing operating expenses, meet its liabilities for the ensuing year, and to fund planned and contractual exploration programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

- Use of estimates and judgments (continued)
Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
The Company's exploration and evaluation assets represent acquisition and exploration costs relating to the Company's exploration and evaluation assets. At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset, which is the greater of the asset's value in use and fair value less costs to sell. The Company considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that the Company's exploration and evaluation assets are impaired.
- Basis of consolidation
-
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company.
-
Subsidiaries
Details of the Company's subsidiaries at March 31, 2024 are as follows:
Place of | |||
Name | Incorporation | Interest | Principal Activity |
Western Atlas Holding Corp. | British Columbia, | 100% | Mineral exploration |
(formerly Western Atlas | Canada | and evaluation | |
(Nunavut) Holding Corp.) | |||
5530 Nunavut Inc. | Nunavut, Canada | 100% | Mineral exploration |
and evaluation |
- Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Inter-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

3. Material accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
- Financial instruments
The following is the Company's accounting policy for financial instruments under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9"):
Financial Instrument | Classification |
Cash and cash equivalents | FVTPL |
Accounts receivable | Amortized cost |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
Accrued compensation | Amortized cost |
Loan payable | Amortized cost |
- Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
The Company recognizes a financial asset when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset is measured initially at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets the conditions that i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income. The Company has no financial assets classified as fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. The Company classifies cash as fair value through profit or loss.

3. Material accounting policies (continued)
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset measured at amortized cost is subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method and net of any impairment allowance, if necessary. The Company classifies accounts receivable as amortized cost.
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost.
At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve-month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
-
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or when it expires. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortized cost. All interest-related charges are reported in profit or loss within interest expense, if applicable.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
A financial liability at amortized cost is initially measured at fair value less transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. Subsequently, the financial liability is measured at amortized cost based on the effective interest rate method. The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities are measured at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss is initially measured at fair value with any associated transaction costs being recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Subsequently, the financial liability is re-measured at fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss in the reporting period in which it arises. The Company has no financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss.
