  1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

    DFR Gold Inc.'s ("DFR" or the "Company") business activity is the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties and mine development in West Africa and Madagascar. The Company was incorporated under the Yukon Business Corporations Act on May 28, 2000, and was continued into British Columbia on March 27, 2007, under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"), having the symbol DFR, as a Tier 2 mining issuer and is in the process of exploring its mineral properties.

    The issued and outstanding number of shares at the end of the reporting period were 203,139,700 common shares.

    The address of the Company's registered office is Suite 2900, 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 0A3, Canada.

  2. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

    These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due.

    To date, the Company has financed its activities through the issuance of equity securities and debt financing, primarily from significant shareholders of the Company. The Company expects to use similar financing techniques in the future and is pursuing such additional sources of financing as estimated to be required to sufficiently support its operations until such time that its operations become self-sustaining. Although the Company has been successful in raising funds to date, there can be no assurance that adequate or sufficient funding will be available in the future.

    At September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $84,312,017 (September 30, 2024: $83,140,280) and incurred a net loss of $14,986 and $1,044,451 during the third quarter and nine-months period ended September 30, 2025 (September 30, 2024: $301,729 and $1,828,179). These factors give rise to material uncertainties that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

  3. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

    The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the third quarter and nine-months period ended September 30, 2025 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and do not include all notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

    The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

    The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of directors on November 27, 2025.

  4. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

    The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except that:

    1. financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss have been measured at fair value; and

      1. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED)
    2. other relevant financial assets and financial liabilities have been stated at amortised cost.

In addition, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("$"). The parent company's functional currency is the $ while the functional currency of the subsidiaries is the same as the respective local currencies of the countries in which they are based.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's material accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 6.

  1. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.

    1. Property, plant and equipment

      Property, plant and equipment, except for freehold land and buildings and site improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any.

      The annual rates of depreciation are as follows:

      Items

      Rates

      Fixtures and fittings

      15%-33%

      Exploration equipment

      15%

      The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment on a straight line basis.

      The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item (or part of an item) of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item (or part of the item, as applicable) and is recognised in profit or loss.

    2. Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by DFR (the "Parent"). The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 Parent.

5. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
  1. Basis of consolidation (continued)

    Transactions eliminated on consolidation

    Inter-company balances, transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

    The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Parent and its subsidiaries, as shown below:

    1On May 7, 2024, DFR announced a Reorganisation Agreement with Panthera Resources Plc, with an effective date of January 1, 2024, pursuant to which it disposed of its interest in Maniger Limited and Panthera Mali Resources SARL, and increased its interest in Gurara Holdings Limited, Dagma Mining Limited, Dext Mining Limited and Paimasa Mining Limited to 51%.

  2. Investments in associated companies

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence but not control, or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in associates are initially recognised at cost as adjusted by post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the associate.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the economic interest financial statements include the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (''OCI'') of the equity-accounted investee, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases. If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss relative to that reduction in ownership interest.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition and the Group's share of the net fair value of the associate's identifiable assets and liabilities recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after assessment, is included as income in the determination of the Group's share of the associate's profit or loss.

5. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
  1. Investments in associated companies (continued)

    When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the Group discontinues recognising further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligation or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealised profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associate. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

  2. Discontinued operations and disposal group held for sale

    Discontinued operations and disposal group held for sale is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cashflows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:

    • represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation; or

    • is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation; or

    • is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

      Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal, abandonment or when the operations meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. This condition is regarded as satisfied only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year of the date of classification. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, once classified as held for sale, are not depreciated or amortised.

      Disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying value and the fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than continued use. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of loss and comprehensive loss is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

      When the Group ceases to have control of an undertaking (disposal group), it is at this point that the Group ceases to consolidate the operations and any gain or loss on disposal is recognised in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. In addition, any movements previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

  3. Foreign currencies

Transactions and balances

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rate in effect at the statement of financial position date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates approximating the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

5. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
  1. Foreign currencies (continued)

    Subsidiaries

    The results and financial position of all the subsidiaries (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the functional currency of the parent are translated into United States dollars as follows:

    1. assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;

    2. income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at exchange rates approximating the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions; and

    3. all resulting exchange differences are recognized within other comprehensive income (loss).

      When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the gain or loss on sale.

  2. Cash and cash equivalents

    Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

  3. Financial instruments

    Financial Assets

    The Company will classify financial assets at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss, based on its business model for managing the financial assets and the financial assets' contractual cash flow characteristics. The three categories are defined as follows:

    1. Amortized cost

      A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

      • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

      • 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.

    2. Fair value through other comprehensive income

      Financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if they are held in a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets.

      5. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
      1. Financial instruments (continued)

        Financial Assets (continued)

    3. Fair value through profit or loss

Any financial assets that are not held in one of the two business models mentioned above are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

When, and only when, the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets it must reclassify all affected financial assets. The Company's financial assets comprised other receivables and cash and cash equivalents which are all measured at amortized cost.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The Company has the following financial liabilities: accounts payable, accrued liabilities, borrowings and deferred consideration payable. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, borrowings and deferred consideration are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

This ensures that any interest expense over the period to repayment is at a constant rate on the balance of the liability carried in the statement of financial position. Interest expense in this context includes initial transaction costs and premiums payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may issue share purchase warrants and conversion options on convertible debentures or as part of units that have an exercise price denominated in a currency that is different to the functional currency of the Company, thus causing them to be classified as derivative liabilities. These instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss through the application of an appropriate valuation model.

5. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
  1. Mineral properties

    The Company's properties are all currently in the Exploration and Evaluation ("E&E") stage. Acquisition and E&E expenditures incurred prior to the date of a positive economic analysis on the property are expensed as incurred. Direct costs incurred for the development of mineral properties, net of cost recoveries, are capitalized once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined. On the commencement of commercial production, the net capitalized costs are charged to operations on a unit-of-production basis, by property, using the estimated proven and probable reserves as the depletion base.

    Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

    At the end of each reporting period, the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

    If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  2. Share-based compensation

    Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss over the vesting period described as the period during which all the vesting conditions are to be satisfied. Performance vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Non-vesting conditions and market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these market performance vesting conditions are satisfied.

    The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied. Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss over the remaining vesting period.

    Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.

    1. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
      1. Share-based compensation (continued)

    When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based compensation cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

    Equity-settled share-based compensation are reflected in contributed surplus, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in contributed surplus is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.

    Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

  3. Income taxes

    Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

    Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.

    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

    Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

  4. Earnings (loss) per share

    Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net profit (loss) for the period attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant period.

    Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net profit (loss) for the period attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Company by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, if potentially dilutive instruments were converted.

    5. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
  5. Provisions Rehabilitation provisions

    The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by exploration and evaluation activities. The Company records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore the exploration sites in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of the rehabilitation activities may include restoration, reclamation and re-vegetation of the affected exploration sites.

    The rehabilitation provision generally arises when the environmental disturbance is subject to government laws and regulations. When the liability is recognized, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related properties. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the changes in present value based on current market discount rates and liability specific risks.

    Additional environment disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognized as additions to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability in the period in which they occur. The Company does not have any rehabilitation provisions for the years presented.

  6. Share capital

    Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company's common shares and stock options are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

  7. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)

In the current period, the Group has applied all new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (''IASB'') and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on January 1, 2025.

New standards, interpretations and amendments that are effective for the current period

There are a number of amendments to accounting standards that become applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2025 and the Company considers that their application does not have any significant impact on the amounts reported for the current and prior periods, and so, have not been discussed in detail in the notes to the financial statements:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of liabilities as current or non-current

  • Amendments to IAS 1 - Non-current liabilities with covenants

  • Amendments to IFRS 16 - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

  • Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Disclosures: Supplier finance arrangements

  • Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability

  1. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    1. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) (continued)

      New standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective

    Note 1: In December 2015, the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting.

    Where relevant, the Company is still evaluating the effect of Standards, Amendments to published Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective, on the presentation of its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

  2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

    Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:

    1. Share-based compensation transactions

      The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and other parties by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 14.

    2. Title to mineral property interests

      Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

      1. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)
    3. Assets and business acquisitions

      Management judgement is particularly required in the assessment of whether or not net assets acquired constitute a business combination or asset acquisition. Asset acquisitions are acquisitions of legal entities that do not qualify as business combinations under IFRS 3. In making this assessment, management considers the underlying economic substance of the items concerned in addition to the contractual terms. Management also applies as it considers appropriate the optional 'concentration test' as set out in the amendments to IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' published in October 2018 to aid the assessment of whether a transaction represents a business combination or is simply in substance the purchase of a single asset or group of similar assets.

    4. Unsecured convertible bonds

During the year 2023, DFR issued unsecured convertible debentures ("Debentures") by way of a private placement with insiders. The Debentures carried interest and were payable on a defined maturity date, unless they were converted earlier. The Debentures have unique terms and management has to exercise judgement to assess whether the Debentures constitute compound financial instruments and whether they are derivative financial instruments. In making this assessment, management considers whether the contract will be settled by the Company by receiving or delivering a fixed number of its own shares for no future consideration; or by exchanging a fixed number of its own shares for a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets. Management also considers the 'fixed for fixed' requirement under IAS 32 'Financial instruments: Presentation'.

    --

    Effective 1stJanuary 2024, DFR entered into a Reorganisation Agreement with Panthera Resources Plc. Accordingly, DFR has disposed of its interest in Maniger Limited and Panthera Mali Resources SARL, and increased its interest in Gurara Holdings Limited, Dagma Mining Limited, Dext Mining Limited and Paimasa Mining Limited to 51%. See Note 21.

    Following the above restructuring, the Company holds no interest in the Kalaka Project. In return, its interest in the Gurara Project has increased from 25.5% to 51%. The remaining 49% of the Gurara Project is held by Zinariya Mining Limited ("Zinariya") and the project is operated by PW Nigeria Mining Limited ("PW").

    Furthermore, pursuant to the Reorganisation Agreement, Panthera Resources Plc agreed to settle, and executed payment of, a net balance of $67,931 to DFR in July 2024, out of which an extent of $27,698 was due by PAT to the operator of the Gurara project, and $40,233 in relation to net intercompany balances between PAT and DFR.

    1. The investment in associate was accounted for using the equity method. In accordance with International Accounting Standard 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures', the Company recognised its share of the loss of the associate from the date of acquisition. The Company did not incur legal or constructive obligation to make payments on behalf of the associate.

      Effective 1stJanuary 2024, following the Reorganisation, the Company discontinued the use of the equity method because:

      • Gurara Holdings Limited has become a subsidiary. As the acquisition qualifies as a business according to the definition in IFRS 3 Business Combinations, the arrangement has been accounted for as a business combination.

      • As part of the Reorganisation, the Company has disposed of its investments in Maniger Limited to Panthera Resources Plc.

  2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    The Company completed the disposal of its Namibian diamond assets (the "Namibian Concessions") to JBDM Limited ("JBDM") pursuant to a diamond business sale agreement dated November 28, 2022. JBDM is an entity controlled by Mr. Jean-Raymond Boulle. The Namibian Concessions consisted of a 100% interest in Diamond Fields (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd. ("DFN") which owned mineral licenses ML111 and ML139 and 70% of Namibian Diamond Company (Pty) Ltd. which owned mineral license ML32 (the "Namibian Assets").

    In consideration for the Namibian Assets, JBDM paid the Company: an initial payment of $150,000 (the "Initial Payment") and it will pay: annual amounts of

    $100,000 (as to $90,000 for ML111, $5,000 for each of ML32 and ML139) (the "Annual Payments") proportionately, as from September 1, 2023 until the earlier of either JBDM returns the license to the Company or September 1, 2035; and a 1% net sales royalty. The Company is entitled to $110,040 in relation to mining activities which took place on the Namibian Concessions during the year 2024. No mining has been reported so far for the current reporting period on the Namibian Concessions. Both the annual payment and royalty entitlement were outstanding as at September 30, 2025

    The disposal of Diamond Fields (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd. and Namibian Diamond Company (Pty) Ltd. met the recognition criteria under IFRS 5 'Non-current assets held-for-sale and discontinued operations'. Consequently, the results of the Namibian subsidiaries were presented as discontinued and were shown separately from continuing operations.

Cascades ( (Gold) - Burkina Faso

The Cascades gold exploration project comprising initially of an option for the WUO Land exploration license ("WUO1"), was extended through the acquisition of an option to acquire WUO Land 2 exploration license ("WUO2"), contiguous to WUO1 license, both option agreements are held in escrow with an appointed escrow agent in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

16. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENSES (CONTINUED)

Cascades ((Gold) - Burkina Faso (continued)

The project is located in the Banfora greenstone belt of the West African Birimian Supergroup in Comoé province, southwest Burkina Faso. Cascades is approximately 370km west-southwest of Ouagadougou, and 100km northeast of the Wahgnion gold mine, operated by Endeavour Mining.

The WUO1 option agreement gives the Company exclusive rights until May 27, 2024 to purchase 100% of the License Holder's interest in the WUO1 exploration license for a payment of $1,000,000. Moreover, an amount of $50,000 is payable annually to the License Holder until 2023. The Company and the License Holder have agreed to amend the terms of the WUO1 option agreement on June 8, 2024, (the "Amendment Agreement") pursuant to which the Company shall pay (and has paid) an initial payment of $500,000 within 8 business days of executing the amendment agreement, and a final payment of $500,000 on or before the first anniversary of the amendment. Prior to executing the Amendment Agreement, the License Holder was entitled to receive a quarterly royalty payment equivalent to 1% of the net smelter return ("NSR"), subject to a maximum entitlement of US$2,000,000, and a one off payment of US$1,000,000 (the "Milestone Payment"), payable within six months of the Company reporting a resource of at least 1,000,000 ounces of gold on the Permit in accordance with the JORC guidelines. Under the Amendment Agreement the License Holder is entitled to a royalty payment of 0.5% of NSR over the duration of mining on the Permit. If the Milestone Payment described above is paid, each royalty payment thereafter shall be reduced by 25% until such time as the aggregate amount of the said 25% reductions equal the amount of the Milestone Payment. The second renewal of the WUO1 exploration permit (Permis de Recherche) has been approved by the Burkina Faso authorities, extending the validity of its validity for a three-year period until March 5, 2027.

The WUO2 option agreement gives the Company exclusive rights to purchase 100% of the License Holder's interest in WUO2 exploration license for an aggregate payment of $500,000, out of which

$200,000 was paid earlier during 2022 and two payments of $150,000 each were payable prior to exercising the WUO2 option during the year 2023. During December 2022, the License Holder and the Company entered into an amendment agreement whereby the Company is allowed to delay the first

$150,000 payment until January 31, 2024 and the second $150,000 payment until May 31, 2024. The Company paid $300,000 to the License Holder in February 2024 to exercise the WUO2 option. The process to register the license in the name of the Company's Burkina Faso subsidiary is in progress. The License Holder is also entitled to a net smelter royalty of 1% capped at $2,000,000 on the value of all minerals extracted from the tenement. The WUO2 exploration permit (Permis de Recherche) was granted for a three-year period on November 13, 2018, and was renewed for a further three-year period until November 12, 2024. A renewal application for a second and final three-year term has been submitted within 90 days of the expiration of the validity period, in line with current legislations.

The Company executed an Exploration Data, Reports and Samples Purchase Agreement on October 9, 2020 with Nord Gold to purchase all of their historic data in consideration of a 0.5% Net Smelter Royalty capped at $3,000,000.

Pursuant to the definitive agreements and other related agreements among the Company, Moydow and Panthera, upon closing the Company acquired an 80% interest in the Cascades project and Panthera will own a carried 20% interest on the condition that the Company invests $18,000,000 in the project by September 30, 2026 (the "Deemed Cost Base"), thereafter, all interests shall be participating. Panthera shall have the right to acquire an additional 10% interest in Cascades by making a payment of up to

$7,200,000 following the trigger date.

Moreover, the Company and Panthera entered into a joint venture agreement (the "Cascades JVA") for the management and operation of the project, pursuant to which the Company shall be the operator, and is entitled to appoint two thirds of the members of the management committee and an operator fee.

Therefore, no expenditure was incurred by the Company on the Kalaka project (December 31, 2024: Nil), and the Company received a credit for expenditure incurred during the transition period, being between October 1 and December 31, 2023.

    Gurara (Gold) - Nigeria

    Pursuant to the definitive agreements announced by the Company on August 25, 2021, upon closing of the Moydow transaction on June 28, 2022, Moydow's 51% interest in Gurara Holdings Limited ("Gurara"), a BVI company which owns 99.99% of the rights in several Nigerian mineral licenses, through a joint venture agreement (the "Gurara JVA") with Zinariya Mining Limited ("Zinariya") a BVI Company, was spun off (together with the Kalaka gold project) and brought under a new holding company, Maniger Limited., a BVI company ("Maniger") held as to 50% by the Company and 50% by Panthera Resources Plc.

    The "Gurara JVA" involves the following parties:

    1. Moydow Holdings Limited ("Moydow");

    2. Zinariya Mining Limited ("Zinariya"), a BVI company. Zinariya owns the remaining interest in Gurara;

    3. Gurara Holdings Limited ("Gurara"), a BVI Company, which as at December 31, 2021 was held as to 20% by Moydow and 80% by Zinariya; and,

    4. PW Nigeria Mining Ltd ("PW Mining"), a Nigeria company.

Pursuant to the Gurara JVA, Moydow had a first option to acquire a 51% interest in Gurara by investing a total of $1,000,000 prior to December 31, 2021 (the "First Option"). Moydow achieved the required expenditure to earn the First Option after December 31, 2021, but the parties agreed that Moydow had earned the First Option. Moydow had a second option to earn 65% interest in Gurara expiring on July 2023, by spending an aggregate $2,000,000 (including the $1,000,000 above) in the Projects, Moydow or DFR did not incur the required expenditure and did not earn the second option.

DFR announced a restructuring agreement, subject to approval of the TSX Venture exchange (TSX V), with Panthera Resources Plc. on May 7, 2024 with an effective date of January 1, 2024. The agreement was subsequently approved by the TSX V.
