(the “Company”)
Third Quarter Report
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
(expressed in United States dollars)
CAUTION – FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained herein regarding the Company and its operations constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements that are not historical facts, including without limitation statements regarding future estimates, plans, objectives, assumptions or expectations of future performance, are “forward-looking statements”. We caution you that such “forward looking statements” involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include fluctuations in precious metal prices, unpredictable results of exploration activities, uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, if any, fluctuations in the costs of goods and services, problems associated with exploration and mining operations, changes in legal, social or political conditions in the jurisdictions where the Company operates, lack of appropriate funding and other risk factors, as discussed in the Company’s filings with Canadian and American Securities regulatory agencies. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, other than as may be specifically required by applicable securities laws and regulations.
1.0 Preliminary Information
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of Canagold Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and the audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years then ended, all of which are available at the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.
Financial information in this MD&A is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 34 Interim Finnacial Reporting (“IAS 34”) based upon the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
All dollar amounts in the MD&A are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
All information contained in the MD&A is effective as of November 13, 2024 unless otherwise indicated.
1.1 Background
The Company was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, and was engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and exploitation of precious metal properties.
As the Company is focused on its mineral exploration activities, there is no mineral production, sales or inventory in the conventional sense. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of reserves in its mineral property interests, the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing and receive necessary permitting for the exploration and development of its property interests, confirmation of the Company’s interest in certain properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. Such exploration and development activities normally take years to complete and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty at this time. Many of the key factors are outside of the Company’s control. As the carrying value and amortization of mineral property interests and capital assets are, in part, related to the Company’s mineral reserves and resources, if any, the estimation of such reserves and resources is significant to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
| CANAGOLD RESOURCES LTD. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the period ended September 30, 2024 (expressed in United States dollars) |
1.2 Overall Performance
The Company currently owns a direct interest in the precious metal properties, known as the New Polaris property (British Columbia), the Windfall Hills property (British Columbia), and the Corral Canyon property (Nevada) as well as a portfolio of smaller exploration properties in Nevada and Idaho.
1.2.1 New Polaris property (British Columbia, Canada)
The Company owns a 100% interest in the New Polaris property, located in the Atlin Mining Division, British Columbia, which is subject to a 15% net profit interest and may be reduced to a 10% net profit interest within one year of commercial production by issuing 150,000 common shares to Rembrandt Gold Mines Ltd.
On April 17, 2019, the Company filed on SEDAR its updated NI 43-101 report on The New Polaris Gold Project, British Columbia, Canada 2019 Preliminary Economic Assessment (the “Preliminary Economic Assessment”) by Moose Mountain Technical Services (“Moose Mountain”), using flotation/bio-oxidation and CIL leaching process.
The Preliminary Economic Assessment is based upon building and operating a 750 tonne per day gold mine using bio-oxidation followed by a leaching process to produce 80,000 ounces gold per year in doré bars at site. The updated parameters in the base case economic model includes a gold price of US$1,300 per oz, CAD$/US$ foreign exchange rate of 0.77, and cash costs of US$433 per oz and all in sustaining cost US$510 per oz. The Preliminary Economic Assessment for the New Polaris project results in an estimated after-tax net present value of CAD$280 million using a discount rate of 5%, an estimated after-tax internal rate of return of 38%, and an estimated after tax pay-back period of 2.7 years. The Preliminary Economic Assessment is preliminary in nature, and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Given the inherent uncertainties of resources, especially inferred resources compared to reserves, the New Polaris gold mine project cannot yet be considered to have proven economic viability and there is no certainty that the results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment will be realized.
A detailed discussion of the Preliminary Economic Assessment is provided in the report itself, and select information can be found under “Extract of Selected Sections of the New Polaris Preliminary Economic Assessment Report” on pages 13-32 of the Annual Information Form dated March 28, 2022 and filed on SEDAR on March 29, 2022.
Readers are cautioned that the effective date of Preliminary Economic Assessment for New Polaris is February 28, 2019 (the “Effective Date”). Accordingly, the economic analysis contained in the Preliminary Economic Assessment is based on commodity prices, costs, sales, revenue, and other assumptions and projections that may significantly change from the Effective Date, including a gold price of US$1,300 per oz, CAD$/US$ foreign exchange rate of 0.77, and cash costs of US$433 per oz. Readers should not place undue reliance on the economic analysis contained in the Preliminary Economic Assessment because the Company cannot give any assurance that the assumptions underlying the report remain current.
The Qualified Person (“QP”) pursuant to NI 43-101 for the New Polaris Preliminary Economic Assessment is Marc Schulte, P. Eng.
In September 2020, the Company was granted a Multi Year Area Based Notice of Work Mineral and Coal Exploration Activities and Reclamation Permit by the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation to conduct exploration work on the property. Site preparation and refurbishment was completed to facilitate environmental baseline study and infill drilling to advance to a feasibility study. In late 2020, the Company had initiated environmental baseline studies which are required for an Environmental Assessment Certificate application and which is a critical first step in advancing the project through the BC major mine permitting process. The environmental baseline study is continuing.

In 2021, the Company completed its 47-hole, 24,000 meter (m) infill drilling program designed to upgrade the Inferred Resources of the CWM vein system to an Indicated Resource category for inclusion in a future feasibility study. The infill drill holes range in depth from 300 to 650 m and are designed to provide greater density of drill intercepts (20 – 25 m spacing) in areas of Inferred Resources between 150 and 600 m below surface. The drill program was extended with an additional 6,000 m and 7 drill holes completed by the end of February 2022. The infill drill holes intercepted gold grades over widths throughout the CWM vein system that support the current resource at depth as predicted by the geological model and defined in the Preliminary Economic Assessment. Additionally, the infill drill program has defined new areas of significant gold mineralization such as the C-9 and C-10 veins that have potential to add resource to the deposit. By mid July 2022, assay results were received for all 54 holes of the drill program.
In August 2022, the Company mobilized an 8,000 m drilling program targeting the shallower high-grade Y-vein system which consists of two parallel, steeply dipping veins striking north–south and located just north of the C-West Main vein. This target provides an opportunity to define high grade resources at a shallow depth that could be accessed early in the mine life. High grade intercepts from previous drill holes in this area included 30.6 grams per tonne (“gpt”) gold (“Au”) over 3.2 m, 13.0 gpt Au over 6.8 m and 22.7 gpt Au over 8.0 m. The drilling program was designed to upgrade the Y-vein resources from Inferred to Indicated category for inclusion in the feasibility study and to explore this vein system for extensions at depth. By late January 2023 assay results were received for all 25 drill holes of the Y vein drill program.
In October 2022, the Company retained Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc. to complete a feasibility study for the New Polaris gold project. Key objectives for the feasibility study include:
|
| · | Resource model update (to include nearly 40,000 metres of additional drilling completed) |
|
| · | Mining reserves calculation and detailed underground mine plan development |
|
| · | Engineer and design all surface infrastructure and processing facilities to include among others: flotation, bio-oxidation, leaching and gold doré bar production |
|
| · | Engineer and design surface dry stack tailings and waste rock disposal facility (with no long-term adverse impact on the environment) |
|
| · | Evaluate all renewable power alternatives that may be feasible for New Polaris |
|
| · | Complete detailed capital and operating cost estimates, including a detailed financial model for the life of the project |
The feasibility study is expected to conclude at the end of 2024.
In October 2022, the Company signed the Hà Khustìyxh / “Our Way” agreement that establishes the framework for a cooperative and mutually respectful working relationship with the Taku River Tlingit First Nation (“TRTFN”) to support Canagold’s exploration and advancement activities at New Polaris while ensuring to minimize any adverse impacts of mining activity on the rights and interests of the TRTFN. The agreement also lays the foundation for negotiation of future long-term agreements as the project progresses through its permitting, construction and production phases.
In March 2023, the Company submitted its Initial Project Description (IPD) and Engagement Plan submission to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. The Company’s IPD submission formally initiates the early engagement phase of the provincial assessment process. In the IPD, the Company provides an overview and detailed description of the Company’s plans to develop, operate, and eventually decommission the New Polaris Gold Project.
In May 2023, the resource model was updated to:
|
| · | 89% increase in the Indicated category contained ounces of gold compared to the 2019 preliminary economic assessment resource due to a very successful 2021-22 infill drill program. |
|
| · | 23% increase to the overall resource tonnage due to the additional veins defined by the 2021-22 infill drilling that were integrated into the new geological model |
|
| · | Gold grade improvement by 8% in the indicated category to 11.61 gpt Au, up from 10.8 gpt Au in the 2019 preliminary economic assessment due to the refined geological model constrained by the additional drilling. |
|
| · | The updated 2023 MRE provides the Indicated category resource required to underpin the feasibility study announced on October 11, 2022. |
|
| · | Underground mineral resource estimate 2.97 million tonnes (Mt)@ 11.6 grams per tonne gold (gpt Au) for 1.11 million ounces (Moz) contained gold indicated and 0.93 Mt @ 8.93 gpt Au for 0.27 Moz contained gold inferred. |

Deepak Malhotra, Ph.D., SME-RM and Sue Bird, P.Eng, are the QPs for the mineral resource update report.
On March 28, 2024, the Company raised $CAD 4.1 million from issuance of flow through shares. The Company used the proceeds for exploration activities at the Company’s New Polaris project. The exploration activities consisted mainly of a drilling program targeting an increase in the mineral resource. The program concluded in August 2024 with the following highlights:
|
| · | 10.8 grams per tonne (“gpt”) gold (“Au”) over 4.3 m from 176.4 m down hole in Hole NP24-34 | ||
|
| · |
| ○ | Including 15.5 gpt Au over 2.0 m from 177.5 m |
|
| · | 10.4 gpt Au over 3.6 m from 166.8 m down hole in Hole NP24-34 | ||
|
| · |
| ○ | Including 12.3 gpt Au over 1.3 m from 166.8 m |
|
| · | 14.1 gpt Au over 1.1 m from 202.7 m down hole in Hole NP24-33A | ||
|
| · | 10.4 gpt Au over 1.2 m from 252.3 m down hole in Hole NP24-33A | ||
In September 2024, the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO) has recommended that the New Polaris Project proceed to the Process Planning Phase of the environmental assessment. This recommendation follows a thorough review that evaluated the potential environmental and socio-economic impacts of the project. The Taku River Tlingit First Nation’s support for this recommendation reflects Canagold’s commitment to responsible development and collaboration with them.

1.3 Results of Operations
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2024 – Three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2023
The Company has no sources of operating revenues. Operating losses were incurred for ongoing activities of the Company in acquiring and exploring its mineral property interests, advancing the New Polaris property, and pursuing mineral projects of merit. The Company incurred a net loss of $328,000 in Q3 2024, which is slightly lower than the net loss of $763,000 for the Q3 2023. Net losses were impacted by different functional expense items.
| Canagold Resources Ltd. | Page 7 |
| CANAGOLD RESOURCES LTD. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the period ended September 30, 2024 (expressed in United States dollars) |
The table below (in thousands of US dollars) provides a comparison of the results of operations for Q3 2024 vs. Q3 2023:
Overall operating losses are consistent for the two quarters, with the focus of the company, advancing the New Polaris project, being unchanged. The decrease in share based payments is due to the fact that no RSUs or DSUs were granted in Q3 2024, while the larger share based compensation amount in Q3 2023 is a result of the RSUs and DSUs grants in August 2023.
The non-operating expenses are mainly non-cash items. The change in the fair value of marketable securities is attributable to changes in the quoted market prices of the investments up to their date of disposal or to period end if continued to be held. The flow through shares premium recovery is recognized as the Company incurs expenses eligible for the Canadian flow-through shares benefit while the foreign exchange gain/loss is a result of re-evaluating balance sheet items to period end exchange rates.

First nine months of fiscal 2024 compared with the first nine months ended September 30, 2023
The table below (in thousands of US dollars) provides a comparison of the results of operations for 2024 vs. 2023:
During the first nine months of 2024, the Company recorded a operating loss of $977,000 and an overall net loss of $1.03M. These losses are lower than losses incurred in the first nine months of 2023 (operating loss of $1.3M and net overall loss of $1.6M). The main differences between the two periods are decrease in employee remuneration (due to severance payments made in 2023), increase to recovery of flow through shares premium liability recognized in connection with expenses incurred for the 2024 drilling program, increase in interest income from funds held in GICs in 2024, increase in foreign exchange loss from re-evaluating balance sheet items to period end exchange rates.

In the first nine months of 2024, the Company spent $5.2 M on advancing New Polaris, with most of the spending being attributable to feasibility studies ($1M), environmental studies ($780,000), drilling related activities ($2.9M), and salaries of the Company’s technical team ($535,000). Given the remote location of the New Polaris project and the need to use air transportation, $614,000 was spent on transporting equipment, goods and personnel to the site. The note references in the table above pertain to the September 30, 2024 interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company’s main focus for the past years, including the last eight quarters, was advancing the New Polaris project. The Company’s accounting policy is to capitalize project related expenses. As such, the net loss of the Company does not include expenditures directly attributable to advancing New Polaris. In general, the overhead expenses of the Company are consistent, with variances across quarters being generally attributable to non-cash items, such as changes in fair market values of the Company’s investments, write-off of book values of mineral properties for which there is no planned activities, deferred income tax expense, and share based compensation expense recognized in connection with the stock options and share units issued under the compensation plan.
Cash flow for the three months ended September 30, 2024
During Q3 2024, the Company had positive cash flow $73,000 (Q3 2023 - positive $560,000) from operating activities, negative of $41,000 (Q3 2023 – positive of $3.29M) from financing activities, and negative $2.5M (Q3 2023 – negative $1.6M) from investing activities, for a total decrease of cash in Q3 2024 of $2.4M (Q3 2023 increase of $1.95M).
Cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2024
During the first mine months of 2024 the Company had positive cash flow $169,000 (2023 - negative $595,000) from operating activities, positive cash of $2.96M (2023 – positive of $3.25M) from financing activities, and negative $4.9M (2023 – negative $3.2M) from investing activities, for a total decrease of cash in 2024 of $1.8M (2023 decrease of $812,000).
The Company generates cash from financing activities from issuance of shares and consumes the cash mainly for investing activities (advancing the New Polaris project), the secondary use of cash being administrative activities.

1.5 Liquidity
The Company has no operating revenues, has incurred a significant net loss of $1.03 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and has a deficit of $56.6 million as at September 30, 2024.In addition, the Company has negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the Company to raise debt or equity financings, and the attainment of profitable operations. Management continues to find opportunities to raise the necessary capital to meet its planned business objectives and continues to seek financing opportunities. There can be no assurance that management’s plans will be successful. These matters indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and such adjustments could be material.
The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for mineral property interests is entirely dependent upon the existence of reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production. The Company knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that may result in the Company’s liquidity either materially increasing or decreasing at the present time or in the foreseeable future except as disclosed in this MD&A and in its regulatory filings. Material increases or decreases in the Company’s liquidity are substantially determined by the success or failure of the Company’s exploration and development programs and overall market conditions for smaller mineral exploration companies. In the past, the Company has endeavored to secure mineral property interests that in due course could be brought into production to provide the Company with cash flow which would be used to undertake work programs on other projects. To that end, the Company has expended its funds on mineral property interests that it believes have the potential to achieve cash flow within a reasonable time frame. As a result, the Company has incurred losses during each of its fiscal years since incorporation. This result is typical of smaller exploration companies and will continue unless positive cash flow is achieved.
The following table contains selected financial information of the Company’s liquidity:

Ongoing operating expenses continue to reduce the Company’s cash resources and working capital, as the Company has no sources of operating revenues.
During 2023, the Company generated $159,000 from disposition of marketable securities. In the first nine months of 2024, the Company generated $288,000 from sales of marketable securities.
On July 28, 2023, the Company closed a financing consisting of 21,000,000 shares at CAD $0.21 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD $4,410,000.Sun Valley subscribed for an aggregate of 13,500,000 shares and has increased its ownership in the Company from 40.06% to 43.28%.
On March 28, 2024, the Company closed a financing for 15,700,000 flow through common shares at a price of CAD$0.2625 per share for gross proceeds of CAD$4.1 million. Sun Valley subscribed for 15,700,000 shares and has increased its ownership in the Company from 43.28% to 48.41%. Currently, Sun Valley’s ownership in the Company is at 48.16%.
The Company will continue to rely upon equity financing as its principal source of financing its projects.

1.6 Capital Resources

Certain amounts may be reduced in the future as the Company determines which properties to continue to explore and which to abandon.
In January 2022, the Company entered into an office lease arrangement for a term of five years with a commencement date of September 1, 2022. The basic rent per year is CAD$84,700 for years 1 to 2, CAD$87,300 for years 3 to 4, and CAD$89,900 for year 5.

1.10 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements along with the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and, as such, estimates and judgements and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
| Canagold Resources Ltd. | Page 14 |
| CANAGOLD RESOURCES LTD. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the period ended September 30, 2024 (expressed in United States dollars) |
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to determining the recoverability of mineral property interests and receivables; valuation of certain marketable securities; accrued site remediation; amount of flow-through obligations; recognition of deferred income tax liability; the variables used in the determination of the fair value of stock options granted and finder’s fees warrants issued or modified; and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. While management believes the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.
The Company applies judgment in assessing the functional currency of each entity consolidated in the financial statements.
For right of use assets and lease liability, the Company applies judgement in determining whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether they have the right to control the asset, and the lease term. The lease term is based on considering facts and circumstances, both qualitative and quantitative, that can create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options. Management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option.
The Company applies judgment in assessing whether material uncertainties exist that would cast substantial doubt as to whether the Company could continue as a going concern.
Acquisition costs of mineral properties and exploration and development expenditures incurred thereto are capitalized and deferred. The costs related to a property from which there is production will be amortized using the unit-of-production method. Capitalized costs are written down to their estimated recoverable amount if the property is subsequently determined to be uneconomic. The amounts shown for mineral property interests represent costs incurred to date, less recoveries and write-downs, and do not reflect present or future values.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses each of its mineral properties to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Judgment is required in determining whether indicators of impairment exist, including factors such as: the period for which the Company has the right to explore; expected renewals of exploration rights; whether substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of resource properties are budgeted or planned; and results of exploration and evaluation activities on the exploration and evaluation assets. If 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 pre-tax 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 profit or loss for the period.
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 periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1.11 Changes in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption
New Accounting Pronouncements
Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7: Supplier Finance Arrangements
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows ("IAS 7"), and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments Disclosures ("IFRS 7"), to provide guidance on disclosures related to supplier finance arrangements that enable the users of financial statements to assess the effects of these arrangements on the entity’s liabilities and cash flows and on the entity’s exposure to liquidity risk. As of January 1, 2024, the Company implemented this standard, which is however not applicable to the Company now.
The Company did not early adopt any recent pronouncements.
1.12 Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments:
The Company has classified its financial instruments under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) as follows:
|
| IFRS 9 | |
| Financial Assets |
| |
| Cash |
| Amortized Cost |
| Marketable securities |
| FVTPL |
| Receivables |
| Amortized cost |

Management of Financial Risk
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk which includes foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed are provided as follows.
The fair value hierarchy categorizes financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate fair values. The fair values of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities in Level 2 are valued using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data.
| Canagold Resources Ltd. | Page 16 |
| CANAGOLD RESOURCES LTD. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the period ended September 30, 2024 (expressed in United States dollars) |
The fair values of the Company’s receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and bridge loan approximate their carrying values due to the short terms to maturity. Cash and certain marketable securities are measured at fair values using Level 1 inputs. Certain other marketable securities are measured using Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of deferred royalty and lease liabilities approximate their carrying values as they are at estimated market interest rates using Level 2 inputs.
| (a) | Credit risk: |
|
|
|
| Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. | |
|
|
|
| The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality Canadian financial institutions. | |
|
|
|
| To reduce credit risk, the Company regularly reviews the collectability of its amounts receivable, which may include amounts receivable from certain related parties, and records an expected credit loss based on its best estimate of potentially uncollectible amounts. Management believes that the credit risk with respect to these financial instruments is remote. | |
|
|
|
| The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk comprise investments, cash and cash equivalents and certain amounts receivable, the carrying value of which represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. | |
|
|
|
| (b) | Liquidity risk: |
|
|
|
| Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. | |
|
|
|
| The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's holdings of cash and its ability to raise equity financings. As at September 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $1.26 million (December 31, 2023 – working capital of $4.56 million). The Company has sufficient funding to meet its short-term liabilities, flow-through obligations and administrative overhead costs, and to maintain its mineral property interests in 2024. | |
|
|
|
| (c) | Market risk: |
|
|
|
| The significant market risk exposures to which the Company is exposed are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. |
|
| (i) | Foreign currency risk: |
|
|
|
|
|
| Certain of the Company’s mineral property interests and operations are in Canada. Most of its operating expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars. Fluctuations in the Canadian dollar would affect the Company’s consolidated statements comprehensive income (loss) as its functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and fluctuations in the U.S. dollar would impact its cumulative translation adjustment as consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. |

| CANAGOLD RESOURCES LTD. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the period ended September 30, 2024 (expressed in United States dollars) |
|
| The Company is exposed to currency risk for its U.S. dollar equivalent of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars as follows: |

| Net financial assets (liabilities) |
| $ | 783 |
|
| $ | 4,158 |
|
|
| Based upon the above net exposure as at September 30, 2024 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% (December 31, 2023 – 10%) depreciation or appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could result in a decrease (increase) of approximately $78,000 (December 31, 2023 - $416,000) in the cumulative translation adjustment in the Company’s shareholders’ equity. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| (ii) | Interest rate risk: |
|
|
|
|
|
| In respect of financial assets, the Company's policy is to invest cash at floating rates of interest in cash equivalents, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return. Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of cash equivalents. Interest rate risk is not significant to the Company as it has no interest bearing debt. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| (iii) | Other price risk: |
|
|
|
|
|
| Other price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Company’s other price risk includes equity price risk, whereby investments in marketable securities are held for trading financial assets with fluctuations in quoted market prices recorded at FVTPL. There is no separately quoted market value for the Company’s investments in the shares of certain investments. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| As certain of the Company’s marketable securities are carried at market value and are directly affected by fluctuations in value of the underlying securities, the Company considers its financial performance and cash flows could be materially affected by such changes in the future value of the Company’s marketable securities. Based upon the net exposure as at June 30, 2024 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a net increase or decrease of 10% (December 31, 2023 - 10%) in the market prices of the underlying securities would increase or decrease respectively net (loss) income by $90,800 (December 31, 2023 - $153,000). | |

1.14 Outlook
The Company expects to continue to depend upon equity financings to continue exploration work on and to advance its mineral property interests, and to meet its administrative overhead costs for the 2024 fiscal year and beyond. There are no assurances that capital requirements will be met by this means of financing as inherent risks are attached therein including commodity prices, financial market conditions, and general economic factors. The Company does not expect to realize any operating revenues from its properties in the foreseeable future.
1.15 Risk Factors
Mineral exploration, development and operation involves a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risks discussed elsewhere in this MD&A and those identified in the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 28, 2024 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and which was filed on SEDAR + on March 29, 2024, and the Company’s other disclosure documents as filed in Canada on SEDAR + at www.sedarplus.ca.

1.17 Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICOFR”). Except as noted below, our ICOFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Management of the Company recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, have inherent limitations. As a result, even those systems designed to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance, and not absolute assurance, of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgement in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
In common with many other smaller companies, the Company has insufficient resources to appropriately review increasingly complex areas of accounting such as those in relation to deferred income tax and share based compensation expenses. To remedy this deficiency in its ICOFR, the Company shall engage the services of an external accounting firm to assist in applying complex areas of accounting as and when needed.
Management performed an assessment of the Company’s ICOFR as at September 30, 2024. Based upon the results of that assessment as at September 30, 2024, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Except as disclosed above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our ICOFR.

| CANAGOLD RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the Three Months and Nine Months ended September 30, 2024 (Unaudited – Prepared by Management) (tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except as otherwise indicated) |
| 1. | Nature of Operations and Going Concern |
|
|
|
| Canagold Resources Ltd. (the “Company”), a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on January 22, 1987, is in the mineral exploration business and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of reserves in its mineral property interests, the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing and receive necessary permitting for the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. The address of the Company’s registered office is #1500 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6E 4N7 and its principal place of business is #1250 – 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 2T6. | |
|
|
|
| The Company has no operating revenues, has incurred a significant net loss of $1.04 million for nine months ended September 30, 2024 (September 30, 2023 - $1.6 milion) and has a deficit of $56.6 million as at September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $55.5 million). In addition, the Company has negative cash flows from operations. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and repayment of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the Company to raise debt or equity financings, and the attainment of profitable operations. Management continues to find opportunities to raise the necessary capital to meet its planned business objectives and continues to seek financing opportunities. There can be no assurance that management’s plans will be successful. These matters indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and such adjustments could be material. | |
|
|
|
| 2. | Basis of Presentation |
|
|
|
| (a) | Statement of compliance: |
|
|
|
|
| These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required for full and complete annual financial statements, and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies for all periods as presented. Certain of the prior periods’ comparative figures may have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period. |
|
|
|
| (b) | Approval of condensed consolidated interim financial statements: |
|
|
|
| These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 13, 2024 |
| Canagold Resources Ltd. | Page 7 |
| CANAGOLD RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the Three Months and Nine Months ended September 30, 2024 (Unaudited – Prepared by Management) (tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except as otherwise indicated) |
| 2. | Basis of Presentation (continued) |
|
|
|
| (c) | Basis of presentation: |
|
|
|
| These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as disclosed in Note 5. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. | |
|
|
|
| (d) | Functional currency and presentation currency: |
|
|
|
| The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar, and accounts denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar have been translated as follows: |
|
| · | Monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate at the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position date; |
|
| · | Non-monetary assets and liabilities at the historical exchange rates, unless such items are carried at fair value, in which case they are translated at the date when the fair value was determined; |
|
| · | Shareholders’ equity items at historical exchange rates; and |
|
| · | Revenue and expense items at the rate of exchange on the transaction date. |
| The Company’s presentation currency is the United States dollar. For presentation purposes, all amounts are translated from the Canadian dollar functional currency to the United States dollar presentation currency for each period. Statement of financial position accounts, with the exception of equity, are translated using the exchange rate at the end of each reporting period, transactions on the statement of comprehensive income (loss) are recorded at the average rate of exchange during the period, and equity accounts are translated using historical actual exchange rates. | |
|
|
|
| Exchange gains and losses arising from translation to the Company’s presentation currency are recorded as cumulative translation adjustment, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). | |
|
|
|
| (e) | Critical accounting estimates and judgements: |
|
|
|
| The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements along with the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and, as such, estimates and judgements and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. | |
|
|
|
| Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to determining the recoverability of mineral property interests and receivables; valuation of certain marketable securities; accrued site remediation; amount of flow-through obligations; recognition of deferred income tax liability; the variables used in the determination of the fair value of stock options granted and finder’s fees warrants issued or modified; and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. While management believes the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows. |

| 2. | Basis of Presentation (continued) |
|
|
|
| (e) | Critical accounting estimates and judgements: (continued) |
|
|
|
| The Company applies judgement in assessing the functional currency of each entity consolidated in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is determined using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. | |
|
|
|
| For right of use assets and lease liability, the Company applies judgement in determining whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether they have the right to control the asset, and the lease term. The lease term is based on considering facts and circumstances, both qualitative and quantitative, that can create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options. Management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option. | |
|
|
|
| The Company applies judgement in assessing whether material uncertainties exist that would cast substantial doubt as to whether the Company could continue as a going concern. | |
|
|
|
| The Company is required to spend proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares on qualifying resources expenditures. Differences in judgement between management and regulatory authorities with respect to qualified expenditures may result in disallowed expenditures by the tax authorities. Any amount disallowed may result in the Company’s required expenditures not being fulfilled. | |
|
|
|
| At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses each of its mineral resource properties to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Judgement is required in determining whether indicators of impairment exist, including factors such as: the period for which the Company has the right to explore; expected renewals of exploration rights; whether substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of resource properties are budgeted or planned; and results of exploration and evaluation activities on the exploration and evaluation assets. | |
|
|
|
| 3. | Material Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
| The accounting policies set out in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. | |
|
|
|
| Basis of consolidation: | |
|
|
|
| These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries including New Polaris Gold Mines Ltd. (Canada), AIM U.S Holdings Corporation (USA), American Innovative Minerals LLC (“AIM”) (USA), and Canarc (Barbados) Mining Ltd (inactive) (Barbados). The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. | |
|
|
|
| Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. |

| 4. | Management of Capital |
|
|
|
| The Company is an exploration stage company and this involves a high degree of risk. The Company has not determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves of ore and currently has not earned any revenues from its mineral property interests and, therefore, does not generate cash flows from operations. The Company’s primary source of funds comes from the issuance of share capital and proceeds from debt. The Company has generated cash inflows from the disposition of marketable securities. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. | |
|
|
|
| The Company defines its capital as debt and share capital. Capital requirements are driven by the Company’s exploration activities on its mineral property interests. To effectively manage the Company’s capital requirements, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet its strategic goals. The Company monitors actual expenses to budget on all exploration projects and overhead to manage costs, commitments and exploration activities. | |
|
|
|
| The Company has in the past invested its capital in liquid investments to obtain adequate returns. The investment decision is based on cash management to ensure working capital is available to meet the Company’s short-term obligations while maximizing liquidity and returns of unused capital. | |
|
|
|
| Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past through the issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will be able to continue this financing in the future. The Company will continue to rely on debt and equity financings to meet its commitments as they become due, to continue exploration work on its mineral property interests, and to meet its administrative overhead costs for the coming periods. | |
|
|
|
| There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. | |
|
|
|
| The Company has classified its financial instruments under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) as follows: |

|
|
|
| The fair values of the Company’s receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short terms to maturity. Cash and certain marketable securities are measured at fair values using Level 1 inputs. Other marketable securities are measured using Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Deferred royalty and lease liabilities are measured using Level 2 inputs. | |
|
|
|
| The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk which includes foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed are provided as follows. | |
|
|
|
| (a) | Credit risk: |
|
|
|
| Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. | |
|
|
|
| The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality Canadian financial institutions. | |
|
|
|
| To reduce credit risk, the Company regularly reviews the collectability of its amounts receivable, which may include amounts receivable from certain related parties, and records an expected credit loss based on its best estimate of potentially uncollectible amounts. Management believes that the credit risk with respect to these financial instruments is remote. | |
|
|
|
| The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk comprise investments, cash and cash equivalents and certain amounts receivable, the carrying value of which represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. | |
|
|
|
| (b) | Liquidity risk (Note 1): |
|
|
|
| Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. | |
|
|
|
| The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's holdings of cash and its ability to raise equity financings. As at September 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $1.3 million (December 31, 2023 – $4.6 million). The Company has sufficient funding to meet its short-term liabilities and administrative overhead costs, and to maintain its mineral property interests in 2024. |

| (c) | Market risk: | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The significant market risk exposures to which the Company is exposed are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| (i) | Foreign currency risk: |
|
|
|
|
|
| Certain of the Company’s mineral property interests and operations are in Canada. Most of its operating expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars. Fluctuations in the Canadian dollar would affect the Company’s condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income (loss) as its functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and fluctuations in the U.S. dollar would impact its cumulative translation adjustment as its condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Company is exposed to currency risk for its U.S. dollar equivalent of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars as follows: | |

| Based upon the above net exposure as at September 30, 2024 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% (December 31, 2023 – 10%) depreciation or appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could result in a decrease (increase) of approximately $78,300 (December 31, 2023 - $416,000) in the cumulative translation adjustment in the Company’s shareholders’ equity. |

| 5. | Management of Financial Risk (continued) | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time. | |
|
|
|
|
| (c) | Market risk: (continued) | |
|
|
|
|
|
| (ii) | Interest rate risk: |
|
|
|
|
|
| In respect of financial assets, the Company's policy is to invest excess cash at floating rates of interest in cash equivalents, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return. Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of cash equivalents. The Company’s investments in guaranteed investment certificates bear a fixed rate and are cashable at any time prior to maturity date. Interest rate risk is not significant to the Company as it has no interest bearing debt at period-end. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| (iii) | Other price risk: |
|
|
|
|
|
| Other price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The Company’s other price risk includes equity price risk, whereby investment in marketable securities are held for trading financial assets with fluctuations in quoted market prices recorded at FVTPL. There is no separately quoted market value for the Company’s investments in the shares of certain strategic investments. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| As certain of the Company’s marketable securities are carried at market value and are directly affected by fluctuations in value of the underlying securities, the Company considers its financial performance and cash flows could be materially affected by such changes in the future value of the Company’s marketable securities. Based upon the net exposure as at September 30, 2024 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a net increase or decrease of 10% (December 31, 2023 - 10%) in the market prices of the underlying securities would increase or decrease respectively net (loss) income by $91,000 (December 31, 2023 - $153,000). | |

| These amounts may be reduced in the future as the Company determines which mineral property interests to continue to explore and which to abandon. | |
|
|
|
| (d) | Title to mineral property interests: |
|
|
|
| The Company has diligently investigated rights of ownership of all of its mineral property interests/concessions and, to the best of its knowledge, all agreements relating to such ownership rights are in good standing. However, all properties and concessions may be subject to prior claims, agreements or transfers, and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects. | |
|
|
|
| (e) | Realization of assets: |
|
|
|
| The Company’s investment in and expenditures on its mineral property interests comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent on establishing legal ownership of the mineral properties, on the attainment of successful commercial production or from the proceeds of their disposal. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. | |
|
|
|
| (f) | Environmental: |
|
|
|
| Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation of the Company’s operation may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated. The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous materials and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its current properties and former properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former mineral property interests that may result in material liability to the Company. |

I, Catalin Kilofliski, Chief Executive Officer of Canagold Resources Ltd., certify the following:
| 1. | Review: I have reviewed the interim financial report and interim MD&A (together, the “interim filings”) of Canagold Resources Ltd. (the “issuer”) for the interim period ended September 30, 2024. |
|
|
|
| 2. | No misrepresentations: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim filings do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made, with respect to the period covered by the interim filings. |
|
|
|
| 3. | Fair presentation: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim financial report together with the other financial information included in the interim filings fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, financial performance and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date of and for the periods presented in the interim filings. |
|
|
|
| 4. | Responsibility: The issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, for the issuer. |
|
|
|
| 5. | Design: Subject to the limitations, if any, described in paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3, the issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I have, as at the end of the period covered by the interim filings |
|
| (a) | designed DC&P, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance that |
|
| (i) | material information relating to the issuer is made known to us by others, particularly during the period in which the interim filings are being prepared; and |
|
|
|
|
|
| (ii) | information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and |
|
| (b) | designed ICFR, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP. |
| 5.1 | Control framework: The control framework the issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I used to design the issuer’s ICFR is the Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013). |
|
|
|
| 5.2 | ICFR – material weakness relating to design: - N/A |
|
|
|
| 5.3 | Limitation on scope of design: - N/A |
| 6. | Reporting changes in ICFR: The issuer has disclosed in its interim MD&A any change in the issuer’s ICFR that occurred during the period beginning on July 1, 2024 and ended on September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the issuer’s ICFR. |
