Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 and 2024 (expressed in Canadian dollars)
Management's Responsibility for Financial Reporting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Fortune Bay Corp. (the "Company") have been prepared by the Company's management. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada ("GAAP") as set out in the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada Handbook - Accounting ("CPA Handbook") which incorporates International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards") and include certain amounts and assumptions that are based on management's best estimates and have been derived with careful judgment. Internal control systems are maintained by management to provide reasonable assurances that assets are safeguarded and financial information is reliable.
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying management discussion and analysis. The Board of Directors carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors and a majority of its members are independent directors. It meets with the Company's management and auditors and reviews internal control and financial reporting matters to ensure that management is properly discharging its responsibilities before submitting the consolidated financial statements to the Board of Directors for approval.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, appointed as the Company's external auditors by the shareholders, has examined these consolidated financial statements and their report follows.

IndependenceWe are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Material uncertainty related to going concernWe draw attention to note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, which describes events or conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit mattersKey audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Key audit matter How our audit address ed the key audit matter
Assessment of impairment indicators of exploration and evaluation as sets
Refer to note 2 - Material accounting policies, note 3 - Critical accounting estimates and judgments and note 7 - Exploration and evaluation assets to the consolidated financial statements.
The total book value of exploration and evaluation assets amounted to $24.9 million as at December 31, 2025. At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses each of its exploration and evaluation assets to determine whether any indication of impairment or indicators of a reversal of a previously recorded impairment exist. Judgment is required in determining whether indicators of impairment exist, including
Our approach to addressing the matter included the following procedures, among others:
Assessed the judgment by management in determining the impairment indicators, which included the following:
− Obtained, for a sample of claims, by reference to government registries, evidence to support (i) the right to explore the area, and (ii) claim expiration dates.
− Read board minutes and obtained budget approvals to evidence continued and planned substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation activities, which included evaluating the results of the current year work programs.

factors such as the period for which the Company has the right to explore, expected renewals of exploration rights, whether
substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of resource properties are budgeted and results of exploration and evaluation activities on the exploration and evaluation
assets. Where an indicator of impairment or an indicator of a reversal of a previously recorded impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is
considered to be the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. No indicators of impairment or impairment reversals were noted during the year ended December 31, 2025.
We considered this a key audit matter due to (i) the
significance of the exploration and evaluation assets, (ii) the judgments by management in their assessment of indicators of impairment related to exploration and evaluation assets, and
(iii) the high degree of subjectivity in performing procedures related to the judgments applied by management.
− Assessed whether other facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed the
recoverable amount, based on evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
