NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. (the "Company") is a publicly listed company on the TSX Venture exchange ("TSX-V"), incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada on April 28, 2006. The Company's principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company's registered office is 904-409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1T2. On June 13, 2022, the Company changed its name from Group Ten Metals Inc. to Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional equity financing and achieve profitable operations. The Company has sustained losses from operations and has an ongoing requirement for capital investment to acquire and explore its mineral properties.
The Company incurred a net loss of $4,496,812 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 (2022 - $3,342,522), and as of that date, had an accumulated deficit of $37,644,532 (March 31, 2023 - $33,434,589). At December 31, 2023, the Company had a total of $1,834,936 (March 31, 2023 - $1,452,685) in current assets and a working capital of $1,558,260 (March 31, 2023 - $985,780) and no long-term debt.
While the Company has been successful in obtaining the necessary financing to cover its corporate operating costs and advance the development of its projects through the issuance of common shares and the exercise of warrants in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to raise funds in this manner in the future. There remain material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION Statement of compliance
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS34, Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The Company uses the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023.
These financial statements were approved by the board of directors on February 29, 2024.
