NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
PJX is a Canadian corporation with corporate offices located at 5600 One First Canadian Place, Toronto, Ontario. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.
The principal activities of the Company are mineral exploration properties located near Cranbrook, British Columbia. The Company is in the exploration stage, has no producing properties and, consequently, has no current operating income or cash flow. Financing of the Company's activities to date has been obtained primarily from equity issues.
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due in the foreseeable future. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated a loss of $255,274 or $0.00 per share, (March 31, 2024: $308,957 or $0.00 per share) and reported an accumulated deficit of $27,569,730 (December 31, 2024: $27,314,456). As at March 31, 2025, the working capital of the Company was
$1,873,824 (December 31, 2024: $2,118,031).
Management believes that the working capital is sufficient to support operations for the next twelve months. However, additional funding will be required to allow the Company to continue operating and to fund future exploration and development programs. These factors indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to explore financing alternatives to raise capital. Although PJX has been successful in these activities in the past, the Company has no assurance on the success or sufficiency of these initiatives or that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.
The Company's unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were inappropriate, and these adjustments could be material.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on May 16, 2025.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statement are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied in the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's presentation and functional currency.
Statement of Compliance
The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretation issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by IASB and interpretations issued by IFRIC.
The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are based on IFRSs issued and outstanding as of May 16, 2025, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025, could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements.
Adoption of amended accounting standards:
The Company adopted the following amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Their adoption has not had a material impact on disclosures or amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1") was amended in January 2020 to provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent is based solely on a company's right to defer settlement at the reporting date. The right needs to be unconditional and must have substance. The amendments also clarify that the transfer of a company's own equity instruments is regarded as settlement of a liability, unless it results from the exercise of a conversion option meeting the definition of an equity instrument.
New and Revised IFRS Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Effective
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the Company has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective and have not yet been adopted by the Company:
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments - Disclosures. The amendments clarify the derecognition of financial liabilities and introduces an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system. The amendments also clarify how to asses the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features and the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments (CLIs). Further, the amendments mandate additional disclosures in IFRS 7 for financial instruments with contingent features and equity instruments classified at FVOCI. The amendments are effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2026. Retrospective application is required and early adoption is permitted.
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. The new standards replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new categories and required subtotals in the statement of profit and loss and also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures. It also includes new requirements for the location, aggregation and disaggregation of financial information. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required and early adoption is permitted.
The Company does not expect that the adoption of the Standards listed above will have a material impact
on the financial statements of the Company in future periods.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers its capital to be shareholders' equity, which is comprised of share capital, warrants, contributed surplus and accumulated deficit, which as at March 31, 2025 totaled $2,068,688 (December 31, 2024: $2,318,207). When managing capital, the Company's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of its exploration properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage. As such, the Company is dependent on further external financing to fund its working capital and exploration activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and attempt to raise additional funds as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body, other than of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") which requires adequate working capital or financial resources of the greater of (i) $50,000 and (ii) an amount required to maintain operations and cover general and administrative expenses for a period of 6 months. As of March 31, 2025, the Company believes it is compliant with the policies of the TSXV.
-
FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
A summary of the Company's risk exposures as it relates to financial instruments are reflected below: Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The
Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and deposits and tax credits receivable from the British Columbia Provincial Government. Cash is held with reputable Canadian chartered banks, from which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal. Deposits are held with the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines, from which management believes that the credit risk is minimal. Credit risk related to the tax credits is also assessed to be minimal.
Liquidity risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a cash and cash equivalent balance of
$2,277,019 (December 31, 2024: $2,584,824) to settle current liabilities of $496,378 which includes a non-cash flow through premium liability of $388,121 (December 31, 2024: $405,759). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. In addition, refer to Note 3 for the Company's approach to capital management.
Market risk
Interest rate risk
The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in interest bearing accounts at major Canadian chartered banks. The Company periodically monitors its cash management policy. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any amounts invested in interest bearing accounts.
Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market affecting PJX's capacity to obtain future financings. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices as it relates to the mineral commodities to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
Based on Management's knowledge and experience in the financial markets, the Company believes that it is "reasonably possible" that commodity price fluctuation could adversely affect the Company. In particular, the Company's future profitability and viability of development depends upon the world market price of mineral commodities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was not in the production phase. As a result, commodity price risk may affect the completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options. This may also affect the Company's liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.
-
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying values approximate the fair value amounts of the Company's financial instruments due to their short-term nature.
-
AMOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Amounts receivable corresponds to the sale taxes recoverable paid on taxable purchases of material and services.
-
PREPAYMENTS AND DEPOSITS
Prepayments totalling $22,557 (December 31, 2024: $30,962) represents advanced payments to suppliers.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company has deposits with the British Columbia Ministry of Finance for
$196,900 (December 31, 2024: $196,900) representing remediation cost bonds associated with its properties; and other advances and credit totalling $360 (December 31, 2024: $360).
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company assumed obligations relating to an excavated trail located in the Zinger Property, in exchange for cash consideration of $25,000. The
decommissioning liabilities are assessed based on the estimated costs to reclaim the excavation trails and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods. Management of the Company has estimated that the total undiscounted cash flows required to settle the obligations will be approximately $27,000. These obligations have been discounted using a risk-free rate of 4.6% and an inflation rate of 4.3% per year. Most of this obligation is not expected to be paid until approximately 5 years in the future and have already been fully funded with a refundable deposit, held on account with the British Columbia Ministry of Finance. Included under deposits disclosed in Note 7(b) are $24,500 (December 31, 2024: $24,500) that the Company has made with the British Columbia Ministry of Natural Resources on this respect, funds that will be refunded to the Company once its obligation is discharged.

MINERAL EXPLORATION PROPERTIES
PJX continues to explore and advance targets to the drilling stage to discover deposits of gold and/or base metals including critical metals such as copper, zinc, and cobalt. Given the large stable of PJX properties with a pipeline of targets, the company is at a stage to form strategic alliances to advance some of the targets.
In February 2021, PJX and Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd ("OR") signed an Investment Agreement whereby OR purchased a 0.5% NSR royalty interest in PJX's 4 gold properties (Gold Shear, Eddy, Zinger and Dewdney Trail) for $1 million, and made an equity investment in PJX of $1 million as a way to have an interest in all PJX properties.
A summary of the Company's properties appears below. Please visit https://www.pjxresources.com for additional information.
DD Property Agreement:
The Company holds the DD Property, subject to an aggregate Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") of 2% in respect of the DD Property and on certain claims owned by PJX, under certain predefined terms. The Company will have the right to purchase 50% of such NSR (being a 1% NSR - 0.5% from each individual comprising the Optionors) for $1,000,000, and the remaining 50% of such NSR (being a 1% NSR - 0.5% from each individual comprising the Optionors) for $1,000,000.
On July 13, 2020, the Company entered into an Option Agreement with DLP Resources Inc. ("DLP") where DLP could earn up to a 75% undivided interest in the DD property by paying a non-refundable deposit of $20,000 and executing an Option Agreement.
On August 17, 2020, the Company and DLP signed an addendum (the "Addendum") to the Option Agreement where three additional properties (Moby Dick, NZOU and LMC (NZOU)), where DLP has an option to earn a 100% interest from a third party (the "Third Party"), were added to the Option Agreement.
In February 2023, DLP returned the DD Property to PJX and will provide all related exploration data. PJX Resources retains a 100% interest in the DD Property. On June 6, 2023, PJX terminated the option to participate in earning and interest in the NZOU Property. PJX retains a 50% interest in Moby Dick Property.
Gold Shear Property Agreement:
Historical and recent exploration support the potential for shear zone hosted, orogenic type, high-grade gold mineralization.
The high-grade David Gold Zone of the Gold Shear Property was first discovered in 1990 by prospecting.
Eight of 12 rock grab samples taken by PJX from the David Gold Zone in 2019 have over 68 g/t gold; the highest is 193.90 g/t gold.
PJX's surface mapping, and compilation of historical 1990 drilling by Dragoon Resources Ltd, suggest that high-grade gold mineralization may occur as elongated zones that plunge to the north within the north trending David Shear.
PJX drilling to date confirms the high-grade nature of gold mineralization in the David Gold Zone.
Drilling in late 2021, tested along strike and down the interpreted plunge of the David Gold Zone. Drill results received in April 2022 extend the David Gold Zone to the north. The results also identified possible structural controls that influence high-grade gold mineralization. These results will be used to assess and develop targets to test on strike of the David Gold zone on the Gold Shear Property and PJX's adjacent Eddy property.
The Company has included the David 6 Claim as part of its Gold Shear Property.
Dewdney Trail Property - Estella Mine Crown Grants:
On July 29, 2021, the Company announced the option of the historical Estella Mine crown grants from Imperial Metals Corporation under the Estella Property Option Agreement.
PJX can earn a 100% interest in the Estella by making cash payments, or, at the option of PJX, share equivalent payments, to Imperial totaling $250,000 over a 5-year period as follows:
$15,000 on signing the agreement (cash paid); and
$20,000 on or before July 26, 2022 (cash paid); and
$25,000 on or before July 26, 2023 (cash paid); and
$30,000 on or before July 26, 2024 (cash paid); and
$35,000 on or before July 26, 2025; and
$125,000 on or before July 26, 2026.
Upon exercise of the option by PJX, Imperial will retain a Net Smelter Return Royalty ("NSR") of 2% in respect of the Estella. PJX will have the right to buy back 50% of the NSR [being a 1% NSR] for
$1,000,000, and the remaining 50% of the NSR [being a 1% NSR] for an additional $1,000,000.
The 14 Estella crown grants are encompassed by and, for reporting purposes, included in PJX's large Dewdney Trail Property. The Dewdney Trail Property and the Estella claims have potential to host intrusive related gold and copper deposits as well as sedimentary hosted massive silver-lead-zinc mineralization similar to the historical Kootenay King Mine located approximately 5 km to the south, and the Sullivan Mine located 25 km to the west. The Estella crown grants have had no significant work or exploration since the late 1960's. Optioning the Estella Mine crown grants allows PJX to fully explore the Dewdney Trail Property.
Vine Property:
The Vine Property occurs within a sedimentary basin called the Vine Basin that is geologically similar to the Sullivan Basin hosting the Sullivan Mine located about 35 km to the north.
In the 1980s, Cominco believed that massive sulphide mineralization (zinc, lead, copper, silver, and gold) found at surface in the vertical dipping Vine vein may represent remobilized mineralization from a horizontal Sullivan type deposit at depth. Cominco drilled to test for a Sullivan deposit at the Lower-Middle Aldridge Contact (LMC) depth but did not encounter massive sulphide mineralization.
In 2019, PJX discovered a New Massive Sulphide ("NMS") zone that was intersected 300 m below the LMC, Cominco's depth of drilling.
A hole drilled by Kokanee Exploration in 1990 intersected a 3.4 m wide massive sulphide zone, with bedded and Durchbewegt textures, approximately 700 m south of PJX's 2019 drill hole. PJX's management and consulting geologist believe that the Kokanee and PJX holes both intersected the same geologic horizon.
PJX's NMS zone also has Durchbewegt texture which is a style of massive sulphide mineralization that occurs within 1000 m of the economic part of the Sullivan Mine.
Drilling during 2021 suggests the NMS zone occurs in a restricted basin that trends northwest toward the west gravity anomaly and needs to be tested at depth and on-strike.
Down hole geophysics during 2022 explored for the extension of the NMS zone intersected at a depth of
800 m. Down hole survey results combined with surface geophysics also suggest that the NMS zone may extend to the northwest with a possible target depth of 1500 m. Additional surface geophysics to the northwest will be planned prior to the next phase of drilling.
Other Properties:
The Company also has other exploration properties, all located in British Columbia, Canada, where it has earned a 100% interest. See Note 12(a) for a detail on exploration work conducted by PJX in these properties.

Share based compensation
The Company has a stock option plan (the "Plan") to provide incentive for the directors, officers, employees, consultants, and service providers of the Company. The maximum number of shares which may be set aside for issuance under the Plan is 10% of the outstanding common shares.
The following schedule describes the stock option transactions since December 31, 2023:
On May 3, 2024, the Company granted an aggregate of 12,200,000 incentive stock options to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company, pursuant to the Company's Plan, at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. Out of the options granted, 12,100,000 were fully vested on granting and 100,000 vest every quarter over a period of 1 year. All options granted are exercisable until May 2, 2029. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: share price of $0.29, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 109%; risk-free interest rate of 3.73%; and an expected average life of 5 years. The fair value of all these options was estimated at $2,808,199 of which $2,802,444 has been vested as of March 31, 2025. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025 $5,755 were vested on this respect.

Private placements
As the proceeds received by the Company on November 24, and December 8, 2023, for a flow-through unit and non-flow though unit at the time of the transaction were different, a premium on flow-through shares of $207,247 was recorded. The premium has been deducted from capital and a flow-through premium liability for the same amount was recorded. The premium is subsequently amortized as the flow-through funds are utilized in qualified exploration programs.
As the proceeds received by the Company on April 12, 2024, for a flow-through unit and non-flow though unit at the time of the transaction were different, a premium on flow-through shares of $711,111 was recorded. The premium has been deducted from capital and a flow-through premium liability for the same amount was recorded. The premium is subsequently amortized as the flow-through funds are utilized in qualified exploration programs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company amortized $17,638 (2024: $16,207) under this concept.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is party to certain management contracts and severance obligations. These contracts contain clauses requiring additional payments up to $1,265,000 to be made upon the occurrence of certain events such as change of control and a minimum payment on termination of $47,300. As the triggering event has not occurred, the contingent payment has not been provided for in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements.

The Company conducts its operations so as to protect public health and the environment and believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, the Company needs to comply with its flow-through contractual obligations with subscribers with respect to the Income Tax Act (Canada) by incurring qualified exploration expenditures before December 31 of the year following the year in which the agreement is entered into. The Company indemnifies the subscribers of current and previous flow-through share offerings against any tax related amounts that become payable by the shareholder as a result of the Company not meeting its expenditure commitments.
