NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Commander Resources Ltd. ("Commander" or the "Company") is a publicly listed company incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "CMD". Commander's records and registered office is at Suite 1100 - 1111 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3V6.
The Company is in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resource properties in Canada and Mexico. Commander pursues the prospect generator model and focuses on building a portfolio of early-stage exploration projects. For the ongoing exploration of the projects, the Company aims to option interests in the projects to joint venture partners.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the "financial statements") have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and meet its obligations in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred ongoing losses and will continue to incur further losses in the course of exploring its mineral properties. As at September 30, 2023, the Company had a deficit of $38,827,876 (December 31, 2022 - $38,864,864) and working capital of $673,793 (December 31, 2022 - $431,590).
Commander has historically relied on the issuance of share capital to fund its operations. The Company has been successful in raising equity financing in the past. However, there is no assurance that such financing will continue to be available with acceptable terms under current economic and financial environments. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company prepares these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations (collectively, "IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These financial statements comply with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
These financial statements do not include all the information and notes to the annual financial statements as required by IFRS and should be read together with the Company's most recent audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. Additionally, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Principles of consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the following wholly owned subsidiaries: - BRZ Mex Holdings Ltd. ("BRZM"); and
- Minera BRG SA de CV ("Minera BRG")
The Company consolidates these subsidiaries on the basis that it controls these subsidiaries. Control is defined as the exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with an investee and the ability to affect those returns through power over the investee. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Critical accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that impact the Company's reported financial results. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on historical experiences and expectations of future events. Actual results could result in material differences from those estimates, assumptions, and judgments.
The significant estimates and judgments that affect these financial statements are as follows:
Recoverability of exploration and evaluation ("E&E") assets
The Company capitalizes acquisition costs related to E&E assets which comprise staking costs, and option payments, based on the judgment that the carrying amounts will be recoverable. Their recoverability depends on various factors such as the discovery of economically viable reserves, the Company's ability to obtain the financing to continue exploration and development efforts, or from disposition of the E&E assets. If new information becomes available suggesting the recovery of these expenditures is unlikely, the capitalized costs are written-off to profit or loss for the period.
Going concern
The Company applies judgment in assessing its ability to continue as a going concern. In making this assessment, the Company considers the facts and circumstances disclosed in Note 1. The Company concludes that there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Commander does not have significant influence in any of its investments in publicly traded companies. The fair values of the marketable securities are determined at each reporting date by referencing to the closing market prices of these common shares. All of the Company's marketable securities are classified as FVOCI because these investments are not held for trading.
The Company's holdings in marketable securities comprise common shares of publicly traded companies received as option payments on the sale of exploration and evaluation assets. The significant holding or transactions as at September 30, 2023, were as follows:
Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. ("Aston")
In February 2016, Aston issued 11,000,000 common shares to Commander with a fair value of $2,640,000 for the acquisition of Commander's former Storm Property.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold all of its holdings in Aston of 3,625,000 shares for net proceeds of $138,040 (2022 - 3,725,000 shares for net proceeds of $168,672).

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS AND EXPENDITURES
Maritime Resources Corp. ("Maritime")
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold all of its holdings of 3,444,000 shares in Maritime for net proceeds of $151,920 (2022 - $nil).
Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many exploration and evaluation assets. The Company has investigated title to all of its exploration and evaluation assets and, to the best of its knowledge, titles to all of its assets are in good standing.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's cumulative expenditures on the E&E assets were as follows:

- Mount Polley, BC
In October 2019, Commander entered into an option agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Imperial Metals Corporation ("Imperial Metals") granting Imperial the option to earn a 100% interest in certain mineral claims within the Mount Polley copper-gold property. Commander has a 100% interest in the property except for one claim which is 90% owned by Commander and 10% by an arm's length private company.
Cash consideration totals $250,000, with 90% to Commander, and 10% to the private company, staged in three payments: - $50,000 upon signing ($45,000 received, representing Commander's 90% interest);
- $100,000 by December 31, 2021 ($90,000 received, representing Commander's 90% interest); and
- $100,000 by December 31, 2022 ($90,000 received, representing Commander's 90% interest).
In December 2022, Imperial Metals fulfilled the payment term and earned a 100% interest in Mount Polley.
All tenures of Mount Polley were 100% owned by Commander except for one claim, (mineral number 1064105) which was 90% owned by Commander and 10% owned by an arm's length private company. Commander retains a "Production Fee" (royalty) on future production equal to $1.25 per tonne for the material mined from the property and milled in the Mount Polley mineral processing plant.
At any time after earning a 100% interest in Mt Polley, Imperial Metals shall have the right, upon payment of $1,000,000 to Commander, to reduce the Production Fee reserved to Commander to 50% of the Production Fee in effect at the date of the election (the "Reduced Production Fee"). The Production Fee or Reduced Production fee, as the case may be, shall be doubled in any month where the average copper price for that month exceeds a price of $7.00 per pound adjusted for inflation using the Canadian Consumer Price Index as of September 30, 2019 as the base rate. The Production Fee from mineral claim 1064105 shall be split 90% to Commander and 10% to the private company.
-
Henry Lee, BC
The Company has a 100% interest in the Henry Lee copper project. In March 2019, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a 100% interest in two mineral claims adjacent to the Company's Henry Lee property. The total consideration was $56,500 ($25,000 in cash (paid) and 350,000 shares (issued) of Commander fair-valued at $31,500).
The vendor retains a 1% NSR royalty and is entitled to receive a one-time advance royalty payment of $1,000,000 upon the commencement of commercial production. In 2022, additional claims were staked on the property for $1,140. - Omineca, BC
The Company owns 100% of the property within the Quesnel Trough of BC.
