Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
For the period ended September 30, 2024

Nature and continuance of operations
Highbank Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in
Canada. The Company's shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol "HBK".
The corporate office and principal place of business of the Company is 800 West Pender Street, Suite 615, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2V6.
These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As at September 30, 2024, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $12,884,234, a deficit of $31,765,027, has not advanced its property to commercial production, and is not able to finance day to day activities through operations. This material uncertainty raises significant doubt regarding the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration and development activities and its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with loans from directors and from companies controlled by directors, loans from non-related parties, and/or private placement of common shares.
The Company's business financial condition and results of operations may be further negatively affected by economic and other consequences from military action against Ukraine and the sanctions imposed in response. While the Company expects any direct impacts, of the pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, to the business to be limited, the indirect impacts on the economy and on the mining industry and other industries in general could negatively affect the business and may make it more difficult for it to raise equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future. - Material accounting policies and basis of preparation
The financial statements were authorized for issue on November 29, 2024 by the directors of the Company.
Statement of compliance to International Financial Reporting Standards
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting
Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and IFRIC Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). Therefore, these financial statements comply with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Reporting".
Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis, except for cash flow information, and are based on historical costs, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

2. Material accounting policies and basis of preparation (cont'd)
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company's 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 financial statements and reported amounts of revenues 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.
Significant estimates made in the preparation of these financial statements include the valuation of the reclamation obligation. Significant judgments include assessment of going concern assumption and assessment of any impairment indicators for its exploration and evaluation assets in accordance with IFRS 6.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures
The Company is in the exploration stage in respect to its exploration and evaluation assets. Pre-exploration costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.
Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation expenditures are recognized and capitalized, in addition to the acquisition costs. These direct expenditures include costs such as materials used, geological and geophysical evaluation, surveying costs, drilling costs, payments made to contractors and depreciation on property and equipment during the exploration phase. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the year in which they occur.
Where the Company has entered into option agreements for the acquisition of an interest in exploration and evaluation assets which provided for periodic payments, such amounts unpaid are not recorded as a liability when they are payable entirely at the Company's discretion. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the exploration and evaluation assets in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. The exploration and evaluation assets may be subject to prior undetected agreements or transfers and title may be affected by such defects. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as "property and equipment". Exploration and evaluation assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.
When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditure costs, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written-off to profit or loss.
The Company assesses exploration and evaluation assets for impairment at each reporting date.

Provision for environmental rehabilitation
The Company recognizes liabilities for legal or constructive obligations associated with the retirement of exploration and evaluation assets, property and equipment. The net present value of future rehabilitation costs is capitalized to the related asset along with a corresponding increase in the rehabilitation provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect 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 assets with a corresponding entry to the rehabilitation provision.
The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Share-based payment
The Company operates an employee stock option plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share- based payment to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the contributed surplus. The fair value of options is determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. All equity-settled share-based payment is reflected in contributed surplus, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in contributed surplus is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid. If the options expire unexercised, the related amount remains in contributed surplus.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the changes in fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.
Financial instruments
i. Classification
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) ("FVTOCI") or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.
The Company has designated its cash as FVTPL which is measured at fair value. Due from related parties and reclamation bond are classified as and measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and accrued liabilities, promissory notes, production loan, convertible debenture, and amounts due to related parties are classified as and measured at amortized cost.

Financial instruments (cont'd)
ii. Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss in the statements of comprehensive income (loss). Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss in the statements of comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which they arise.
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in profit or loss in the statements of comprehensive income (loss), as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
- Derecognition Financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss in the statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible debentures that can be converted into shares of the Company at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognized in profit or loss. If the conversion option is exercised, the carrying amount of the liability and the equity component of the compound financial instrument is transferred to share capital.
