TORQ RESOURCES INC.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated - Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS OVERVIEW

  1. Corporate information
    Torq Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torq") is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") as a Tier 2 mining issuer. The Company's shares trade under the symbol TORQ.V in Canada and on the OTCQX under the US symbol TRBMF. The head office and principal address of Torq is located at 1177 West Hastings Street, Suite 1630, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2K3.
    These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "financial statements") were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 29, 2023.
  2. Nature of operations
    The Company is principally engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests with a focus in the Americas, particularly Chile.
  3. Going concern
    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. As at September 30, 2023, the Company had working capital of $788,805 (December 31, 2022 - $11,364,985). For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $16,022,629 and $8,369,408, respectively. The Company has incurred operating losses to date and does not generate revenue to support its operating activities. With no source of operating cash flows, there is no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further exploration of its mineral properties. The Company has had success raising capital in the past, and on March 10, 2023, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $6,260,339 (Note 9(b)). Furthermore, on November 8, 2023, the Company commenced a public equity offering of units, comprised of common shares and share purchase warrants, to achieve minimum gross proceeds of $4 million (note 14). However, the ability to continue as a going concern remains dependent upon Torq's capacity to obtain the financing necessary to continue to fund its mineral properties, including two active exploration projects, the realization of future profitable production, proceeds from the disposition of its mineral interests, and/or other sources. These conditions create a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
    These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION

  1. Statement of compliance
    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The accounting policies followed in these financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (the "annual financial statements").
  2. Basis of presentation
    These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. In addition, except for cash flow information, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

6

TORQ RESOURCES INC.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated - Unaudited)

  1. Basis of consolidation
    Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, exposure or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the Company's returns.
    The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar ("CAD", "C$"), which is also the Company's presentation currency. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Amounts denominated in United States dollars ("USD") are denoted as US$.
    The financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, and the following subsidiaries:

Candelaria Minerals S.A.C., a dormant subsidiary of the Company, was dissolved in January 2023.

These financial statements include a 25% investment in Universal Mineral Services Ltd. ("UMS Canada") which is a shared service entity (Note 3).

  1. Critical accounting judgments and estimates
    The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates. The Company's critical accounting judgements and estimates were presented in Note 3 of the annual financial statements and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements. No new estimates and judgements were applied for the period ended September 30, 2023.
  2. Application of new and revised accounting standards
    On May 7, 2021, the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12). The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption ("IRE") so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. As a result, companies will need to recognize a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial recognition of a lease and a decommissioning provision. The adoption of the new standard did not impact the financial statements of the Company.
    On February 12, 2021, the IASB issued Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8). The amendments, which became effective January 1, 2023, help to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The adoption of the new standard did not impact the financial statements of the Company.
    On February 12, 2021, the IASB issued Disclosure Initiative - Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements). The amendments require the disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than disclosing significant accounting policies and help companies provide useful accounting policy disclosures. The adoption of the new standard, effective January 1, 2023, did not impact the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 3 - EQUITY INVESTMENT

Investment in associate - UMS Canada

UMS Canada is located in Vancouver, BC, and provides geological, financial and transactional advisory services as well as administrative services to the Company and three other companies on a cost recovery basis.

UMS Canada is a party to an office lease agreement with a total term of ten years, for which certain rent expenses will be payable by the Company. As at September 30, 2023, the Company expects to incur approximately $1.5 million in respect of future lease rent for the remaining 7.75 years.

Two legal claims arose in 2022 regarding the mineral exploration rights over a non-material section (approximately 10 metres wide) at the edge of the Margarita southern property. While the outcome of these legal claims is uncertain, management, after review with legal counsel, believes the claims have no merit. As of September 30, 2023, the issuance of the final court decision is pending.
