Myriad Uranium Corp. (Formerly Myriad Metals Corp.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
1. Nature and Continuance of Operations
Myriad Uranium Corp. (“Myriad” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on October 5, 2018. On incorporation, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Legion Metals Corp. (“Legion”), a publicly traded company on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the ticker LEGN. On March 14, 2019, the Company was part of a Plan of Arrangement undertaken by Legion and Nextleaf Solutions Ltd., pursuant to which during the year ended April 30, 2019, Myriad ceased being a subsidiary of Legion and began operating independently. On November 5, 2019 Myriad commenced trading on the CSE, and currently trades under the ticker “M”.
The Company is in the business of mineral exploration. The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that the Company will obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of mineral property interests, or that the current or future exploration and development programs of the Company will result in profitable mining operations. The Company has certain committed operational milestones over the next 12 months and based on the Company’s current forecasted operational and development spend, the Company will require additional funds to meet these milestones. While the Company has been successful in arranging financing in the past, the success of such initiatives cannot be assured.
The Company’s mineral exploration activities are being conducted in Niger, West Africa. In July, 2023, the Presidential Guard in Niger overtook the reigning government and detained the President, Mohamed Bazoum. Subsequently, the Economic Community of West African States (“ECOWAS”) has imposed sanctions against Niger. As of the reporting date of these condensed interim financial statements, the situation in Niger remains unclear. The Company may be susceptible to political risks associated with its exploration and evaluation properties in Niger, given the uncertainty and unpredictability of government and regulatory bodies in the region. The Company expects that until the situation in Niger is clearly defined, exploration and evaluation expenditures in the country will be postponed.
The aforementioned circumstances may cast significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future and do not reflect the adjustments that would be necessary to the presentation and carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities if the Company were not able to continue operations. These adjustments and reclassifications may be material.
The Company’s registered and records office is 1090 West Georgia Street, Suite 600, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3V7.
2. Statement of Compliance and Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on September 28, 2023.

2. Statement of Compliance and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis except cash flow information and have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as explained in Note 3, and are presented in Canadian dollars except where otherwise indicated, which is the functional currency of the Company.
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with and using accounting policies in full compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
Areas requiring a significant degree of judgement include the assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as discussed in Note 1, and involves judgment regarding future funding available for its operations and working capital requirements. Income taxes, exploration and evaluation properties and sharebased compensation valuation also involve a significant degree of judgement.
i) Exploration and Evaluation Assets: The carrying amount of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets properties does not necessarily represent present or future values, and the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets have been accounted for under the assumption that the carrying amount will be recoverable. Recoverability is dependent on various factors, including the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral properties themselves. Additionally, there are numerous geological, economic, environmental and regulatory factors and uncertainties that could impact management’s assessment as to the overall viability of its properties or to the ability to generate future cash flows necessary to cover or exceed the carrying value of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets.
ii) Share-based Payments: The estimation of share-based payments includes estimating the inputs used in calculating the fair value for share-based payments expense included in profit or loss and share-based share issuance costs included in equity. Share-based payments expense and share-based share issuance costs are estimated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model as measured on the grant date to estimate the fair value of stock options and share purchase warrants. This model involves the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the Company’s common shares, the expected life of the options and warrants, and the estimated forfeiture rate.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)
iii) Income Taxes: The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes the Company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. In assessing whether this assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. This assessment is based upon planned actions that may or may not occur for a number of reasons including the Company’s own resources and external market conditions.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash of $869,242 (April 30, 2023 - $978,750) and guaranteed investment certificates (“GICs”) of $700,000 (April 30, 2023 - $800,000) that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant changes in value. The Company’s GIC earns interest at 4.45%, and matures on January 30, 2024, however, the GIC balance can be redeemed at any time without penalty. Interest income accrued at July 31, 2023 is $11,628 (April 30, 2023- $8,778).
Exploration and evaluation properties
Acquisition costs for exploration and evaluation assets include the cash consideration and the fair value of equity instruments issued for exploration and evaluation assets pursuant to agreement terms. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss.
Option payments received are treated as a reduction of the carrying value of the related exploration and evaluation properties and deferred costs until the receipts are in excess of costs incurred, at which time they are credited to income. Option payments are at the discretion of the optionee, and accordingly, are recorded on a cash basis.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use at that time.

Myriad Uranium Corp. (Formerly Myriad Metals Corp.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Exploration and evaluation properties (continued)
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment. Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
Impairment of long-lived assets
At the end of each reporting period the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-lived assets, including mineral property interests, are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any 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 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 the profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, 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.
Decommissioning, restoration, and similar liabilities
The Company recognizes provisions for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the reclamation of mineral properties and retirement of long-term assets, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant, site restoration work and other similar retirement activities is added to the carrying amount of the related asset and depreciated on the same basis as the related asset, along with a corresponding increase in the provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the current market assessments of the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value.
The Company’s estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to the related asset with a corresponding entry to the provision.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Impairment of long-lived assets (Continued)
Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Company’s estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to profit or loss for the period. The net present value of reclamation costs arising from subsequent site damage that is incurred on an ongoing basis during production are charged to profit or loss in the period incurred. The costs of reclamation projects that were included in the provision are recorded against the provision as incurred. The costs to prevent and control environmental impacts at specific properties are capitalized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation properties. As at July 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, the Company has no decommissioning liability.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.
Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that (i) net loss attributable to common shareholders is adjusted for fair value gains or losses of warrants (if dilutive) and (ii) the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted for the number of shares that are potentially issuable in connection with stock options and warrants (if dilutive). Under this method, the Company assumes that outstanding dilutive stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises (after adjustment of any unvested portion of stock options) were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods. For the period presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.
Financial instruments
Recognition
The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on the statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, and are derecognized either when the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or when cash flows expire. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
A write-off of a financial asset (or a portion thereof) constitutes a derecognition event. Write-off occurs when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows on a financial asset.
Classification and Measurement
The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified according to the following measurement categories:
i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value, either through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); and,
ii) those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost.
(9)
Myriad Uranium Corp. (Formerly Myriad Metals Corp.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Financial instruments (Continued)
The classification and measurement of financial assets after initial recognition at fair value depends on the business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost at each subsequent reporting period. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at each subsequent reporting period, with any changes recorded through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income (which designation is made as an irrevocable election at the time of recognition).
After initial recognition at fair value, financial assets are classified and measured at either:
i) amortized cost;
ii) FVTPL, for equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments); or,
iii) FVTOCI, if the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of recognition, or when the change in fair value is attributable to changes in the Company’s credit risk.
The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of a financial asset or financial liability classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost are included in the fair value of the instrument on initial recognition. Transaction costs for financial assets and financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Impairment
The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with any financial assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.
Share capital
Common shares are included as shareholders’ equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from shareholders’ equity. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash, are valued based on their fair market value at the date the shares are issued.

Myriad Uranium Corp. (Formerly Myriad Metals Corp.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Share capital (Continued)
The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of warrants attached to common shares and issued as a unit. Proceeds received on the issuance of units are allocated to the more easily measurable component based on fair value, and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component.
The Company considers the fair value of common shares issued in the private placements to be the more easily measurable component. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any value attributed to the warrants is recorded as warrant reserve.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of grant. Fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed as services are rendered over the vesting period, based on the Corporation’s estimate of the shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market based vesting conditions. For share-based payment awards with non-market vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no-true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees and those providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.
Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Recent accounting standards
Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company has reviewed these updates and determined that they are not applicable or consequential to the Company and have been excluded from discussion within these significant accounting policies.

4. Financial Instruments
Categories of financial instruments
Financial instruments are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the inputs used to determine the fair value are observable.
-
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data.
There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 during the three months ending July 31, 2023.
Classification of financial instruments
| Financial assets: | Classification: | Subsequent measurement: |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | FVTPL | Fair value |
| Interest receivable | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
| Financial liabilities: | Classification: | Subsequent measurement: |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Other financial liabilities | Amortized cost |
The Company’s financial instruments other than cash and cash equivalents, approximate their fair values. Cash and cash equivalents, under the fair value hierarchy is based on Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

5. Exploration and Evaluation Properties (Continued)
Millen Mountain – Nova Scotia
During the year ended April 30, 2019, the Company acquired a 100% interest in a mineral exploration license located in Nova Scotia (the “Millen Mountain Property”) from Legion Metals Corp., a related party by way of common directors. As consideration the Company issued 1,276,460 common shares valued at $134,064.
Pursuant to the option agreement related to the Millen Mountain Property, between the Company and Probe Metals Inc., Probe Metals has incurred $250,000 in expenditures on the Millen Mountain Property and have met the criteria to form a joint venture under which each is required to contribute its proportionate share of ongoing expenditures or have its interest in the Millen Mountain Property diluted. If the Company fails to match exploration payments and obligations on the Property following the formation of the joint venture, it may lose its interest in the Property and be left with only an NSR interest. As of July 31, 2023, the Company and Probe Metals Inc. had not yet entered into a formal joint venture agreement.
During the year ended April 30, 2023, the Company determined due to the results of the exploration and assessment work completed to date on the Millen Mountain Property, the recoverable amount was $nil. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a $134,064 impairment charge.
Loxcroft - Niger

Risk-free interest rate of 3.69 – 4.24%
-
Expected life of options of 2 and 5 years
-
Volatility of 100%
-

8. Financial Instruments and Capital Management (Continued)
Financial Instrument Risk
The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, loan receivable, sales tax receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company manages its credit risk relating to cash by dealing primarily with high-rated financial institutions as determined by rating agencies.
Liquidity Risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining an adequate level of cash to meet its ongoing obligations. The Company has been successful in raising equity financing in the past; however, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. As at July 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $909,484.
Other Risks
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk arising from financial instruments.

On September 18, 2023, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) which, subject to due diligence, would give the Company an option to earn up to 75% interest in, and to Rush Rare Metals’ Copper Mountain Project, comprised of 110 mineral claims in the State of Wyoming covering approximately 1,911 acres. The due diligence period expires 30 days from September 18, 2023, and the parties are expected to enter into a further definitive agreement under substantially the same terms, on or before that date.
