Item 2 - Details of Acquisition
2.1 Nature of Business Acquired
On November 8, 2024, Integra completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "FCGI Shares") of Florida Canyon Gold Inc. ("FCGI") by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement agreement between the Company and FCGI dated July 28, 2024, as amended September 3, 2024. Following the completion of the Arrangement, FCGI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra.
FCGI is a Canadian-based junior gold producer with assets in the United States. The principal operating asset of FCGI is the Florida Canyon mine in Nevada. Detailed information about the Arrangement and the businesses of each of Integra and FCGI can be found in the management information circular of FCGI dated September 19, 2024 and the listing application of FCGI on TSX Venture Exchange Form 2B dated July 12, 2024, each of which are filed and available on the SEDAR+ profile of FCGI at www.sedarplus.ca.
2.2 Acquisition Date
November 8, 2024.
2.3 Consideration
In connection with the Arrangement, former holders of FCGI Shares received 0.467 of a common share of Integra (each, an "Integra Share") for each FCGI Share held (the "Exchange Ratio"). In aggregate, the Company issued 65,213,010 Integra Shares under the Arrangement.
In addition, Integra issued 923,010 stock options of the Company in exchange for options of FCGI outstanding as at November 8, 2024, adjusted as to number and price in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. Each option is exercisable for 0.1 of an Integra Share.
Prior to the completion of the Arrangement, the Company completed a marketed private placement offering of 14,900,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20,000,000, which closed in escrow on August 21, 2024. On completion of the Arrangement, each outstanding Subscription Receipt was converted into one Integra Share and the net proceeds from the offering were released from escrow. The net proceeds of the offering are expected to be used to fund mine optimization opportunities at the Florida Canyon mine, continued advancement of DeLamar and Nevada North and for general corporate purposes. Integra also drew a second advance under its convertible loan facility with Beedie Investments Ltd. in the principal amount of US$5 million immediately following completion of the Arrangement. Neither the offering of Subscription Receipts nor the second advance was a condition precedent to the completion of the Arrangement.

2.4 Effect on Financial Position
Prior to the Arrangement, the Company was focused on the exploration and development of its portfolio of exploration and development stage oxide heap leach gold-silver projects within the Great Basin of the Western United States. As a result of the Arrangement, the Company diversified its portfolio of projects by adding a gold and silver producer within 40 miles of its existing projects. Following completion of the Arrangement, the Florida Canyon mine in Nevada became a material property of the Company.
The Company will continue the current business of FCGI going forward and does not at present have any plans or proposals for material changes in the Company's or FCGI's affairs (corporate structure, personnel or management) that will have an impact on the financial performance and financial position of the Company.
The effect of the Arrangement on the financial position of Integra is outlined in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements referred to in Item 3, which shows the effect of the Arrangement on the results of operations and on the financial position of Integra.

SCHEDULE "A"
Florida Canyon Gold Inc.
Combined Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022
Independent auditor's report
To the Board of Directors of Florida Canyon Gold Inc.
| Our opinion |
In our opinion, the accompanying combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the entities set out in note 1 to the combined financial statements (together, the Company) as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards).
What we have audited
The Company's combined financial statements comprise:
• the combined statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022;
• the combined statements of financial position as at December 31, 2023 and 2022;
• the combined statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022;
• the combined statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022; and
• the notes to the combined financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
| Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the combined financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the combined financial statements in Canada. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
PwC Tower, 18 York Street, Suite 2500, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 0B2
T.: +1 416 863 1133, F.: +1 416 365 8215, Fax to mail: ca_toronto_18_york_fax@pwc.com
"PwC" refers to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an Ontario limited liability partnership.
| Emphasis of matter - combined financial statements |
We draw attention to the fact that, as described in note 2 to the combined financial statements, the entities included in the combined financial statements have not operated as a single entity. These combined financial statements are, therefore, not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred if the entities had operated as a single entity during the years presented or of future results of the Company. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
| Other information |
Management of the Company (management) is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the combined financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the combined financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the combined financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
| Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the combined financial statements |
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the combined financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
| Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the combined financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these combined financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the combined financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the combined financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the combined financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the combined financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Florida Canyon Gold Inc. (the "Company" or "FCGI") is a Canadian gold company that was formed under the Canada Business Corporation Act by way of a statutory amalgamation on July 8, 2024 between Alio Gold Inc., Castle Gold Corporation, Pediment Gold Corp. and San Anton Resource Corporation (the "Merger Subsidiaries"). Prior to the amalgamation, all of the companies were wholly owned subsidiaries of Argonaut Gold Inc. ("Argonaut" or "Parent"), a publicly listed company on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the Symbol "AR". On March 27, 2024, Argonaut entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (as amended, the "Agreement") to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of Argonaut (the "Transaction"). Concurrently, FCGI, which comprises Argonaut's assets in the United States and Mexico were spun out to Argonaut's existing shareholders.
The registered office of the Company is located at 100 King Street West, Suite 3400, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1A4, Canada and its head office is located at 200 Bay Street, Suite 1302, Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, Toronto, ON M5J 2J3.
The Company has two operating mines: the Florida Canyon mine and the San Agustin mine. Residual production is expected from two additional mines located in Mexico. The La Colorada mine was placed on care and maintenance at the end of 2023 pending a decision on strategic options for the mine, while mining activities ceased at the El Castillo mine in December 2022, and the mine is now in reclamation. The Company also has a development project Cerro del Gallo. The San Agustin mine and the El Castillo mine make up the El Castillo mining complex.
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of these combined financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied in all material respects to all the years presented, unless otherwise noted.
a) Basis of presentation
The combined financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards" or "IFRS").
The combined financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value.
The preparation of these combined financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the combined financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
These combined financial statements have been prepared to restate all periods to reflect the amalgamation and reorganization described above. The Merger Subsidiaries have been combined for all periods presented as if they were always combined into a single reporting entity including their wholly owned subsidiaries. Share capital for periods prior to the amalgamation represents the share capital of the four amalgamated entities. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Earnings per share data has been restated for all periods based on the number of shares issued on reorganization and amalgamation.
|
FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
The Merger Subsidiaries included in the combined financial statements have not operated as a single entity. These combined financial statements are, therefore, not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred if the Merger Subsidiaries had operated as a single entity during the years presented or of future results of the Company.
Inter-company transactions and balances within entities in the Company are eliminated.
These combined financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on July 12, 2024.
b) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company's subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The combined financial statements are presented in United States ("US") dollars.
Foreign currency exchange gains and losses are presented in the combined statement of loss within other expenses.
c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and other short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
d) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost and the net realizable value ("NRV"). For work-in-process and finished goods inventories, the NRV is determined by using the estimated gold price at the time of sale less remaining cost of completion to bring the inventory into saleable form. Work-in-process inventory includes ore in the leaching process, stockpiled ore at mining operations, and gold on carbon. Finished goods include gold in doré or bullion. For work-in-process and finished goods inventories, cost includes all direct costs incurred in production, including direct labor and materials, freight, depreciation and amortization of plant and equipment used in the production process, depletion of mineral properties and directly attributable overhead costs. If the NRV is lower than the expected cost of the finished product, the inventory is written down to the NRV. The write down may be reversed if circumstances change. Cost of materials and supplies inventory includes acquisition, freight, and other directly attributable costs.
e) Mineral properties, plant and equipment
i) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. The cost of buildings, mobile equipment, and plant and processing equipment used in the Company's mining operations are amortized on either a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset or on a unit-of-production basis over estimated proven and probable reserves, or other relevant metric. The cost of office equipment, furniture and fixtures, and vehicles is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset.
ii) Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditures relate to properties where the Company has valid ownership and exploration rights and comprise costs that are directly attributable to:
• researching and analyzing existing exploration data;
• conducting geological studies, exploratory drilling, and sampling;
• examining and testing extraction and treatment methods; and
• activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource.
|
FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
Exploration and evaluation expenditures for each area of interest are capitalized provided that one of the following conditions is met:
• exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves or resources, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing, or planned for the future; or
• such costs are expected to be recouped in full through successful exploration and development of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale.
Once management has determined that the development potential of the property is economically viable and technically feasible, which generally coincides with the permits for its development and approval of construction, the exploration and evaluation asset is reclassified to assets under construction within mineral properties, plant and equipment. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment, and any impairment loss is recognized, before reclassification from exploration and evaluation assets to assets under construction.
Proceeds received from a sale of, or option on, any interest in a mineral property are credited against the carrying value of that property. When interest in a property is sold the accumulated property costs are written-off, with any gain or loss included in the combined statements of income (loss) in the period the transaction takes place.
iii) Mineral properties and mine development costs
The costs of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties or property rights, and increasing future output by providing access to additional sources of reserves or resources, are capitalized up to the time the asset is ready to use. Proceeds derived from mining activities and incidental proceeds from the sale of items prior to the assets being ready for use in the manner intended by management are recognized as revenues along with the related costs in the combined statement of loss.
Mineral properties are recorded at cost less accumulated depletion and impairment charges. When assets are ready for use as intended by management, mineral properties and mine development costs are amortized on a unit-of- production basis over the estimated proven and probable reserves, resources or other relevant metrics to which they relate. Mine development costs associated with each distinct section of the mine are amortized over the reserves, resources or other relevant metric to which they relate. Upon sale or abandonment of mineral properties, the cost and related accumulated depletion are written off and any gains or losses thereon are included in the combined statement of loss.
During the production phase, further mining expenditures, including exploration or development costs, incurred either to develop new ore bodies or to develop mine areas in advance of current production are capitalized to mineral properties. Stripping costs incurred in the production phase are accounted for as variable production costs. However, stripping costs incurred to improve access to the identified component of ore, which are determined using strip ratio methodology, will be capitalized and recorded on the statement of financial position as deferred stripping, a component of mineral properties. The deferred stripping will be depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the reserves that directly benefited from the stripping activity.
|
FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
iv) Amortization of mineral properties, plant and equipment
The carrying amounts of mineral properties, plant and equipment are depreciated, depleted or amortized to their estimated residual value over the estimated economic life of the specific assets to which they relate, or using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives indicated below:
• Plant and equipment - 1 to 20 years straight-line;
• Mineral properties and mine development costs - based on a unit-of-production basis over estimated proven and probable reserves;
• Assets under construction - not amortized; and
• Exploration and evaluation assets - not amortized.
Estimates of residual values, useful lives, and proven and probable reserves are reassessed at least annually, and any change in estimate is considered in the determination of remaining depreciation, depletion, or amortization charges. Depreciation, depletion or amortization commences on the date the asset is available for use as intended by management.
f) Impairment of non-current assets
The carrying values of capitalized non-current assets are reviewed for impairment indicators at each reporting date, or when indicators of impairment are present. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. In the case of undeveloped projects, there may be only inferred resources to form a basis for the impairment review. The review is based on the Company's intentions for the development of such a project. If a project does not prove viable, all unrecoverable costs associated with the project are charged to the combined statement of loss.
Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the applicable cash-generating unit ("CGU" or "CGUs") to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the fair value less cost of disposal ("FVLCD") and the asset's value in use. FVLCD is the amount that would be obtained from the sale of an asset or CGU in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties, less the costs of disposal. For mineral assets, when a third party offer is not readily available, FVLCD is often estimated using a discounted cash flow model using a post-tax discount rate. For certain assets, while calculated FVLCD, the in-situ fair value per ounce is considered for gold equivalent reserves and resources not already considered in the discounted cash flow model. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate. Estimated future cash flows are calculated using estimated recoverable reserves or resources, metallurgical recovery estimates, estimated future commodity prices, future production volume, the expected future operating, capital and reclamation costs. The discount rate applied to the estimated future cash flows reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Determining the discount rate includes appropriate adjustments for the risk profile of the countries in which the individual CGUs operate. In-situ fair value per ounce is calculated based on sale transactions of comparable assets. If the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense in the combined statement of loss.
Non-financial assets that have been impaired are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the impairment may have reversed. Where an impairment charge subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation, depletion, or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment is recognized as a gain in the combined statement of loss.

g) Leases
For contracts that contain a lease, the right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability are recognized at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance expense. The finance expense is charged to the combined statement of loss over the lease period or capitalized as an asset under construction when they are considered applicable borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of mineral properties, plant and equipment. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life or the life-of-mine ("LOM"), on a straight-line basis.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
• variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;
• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the Company's incremental borrowing rate.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
• any initial direct costs; and
• restoration costs.
The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
• The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate;
• The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used); or
• A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are either expensed on a straight-line basis in the combined statement of loss or capitalized as an asset under construction when they are considered applicable borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of mineral properties, plant and equipment.
Certain leases contain variable payment terms. Non-principal components of variable lease payments are recognized in the combined statement of loss in the period in which the condition that triggers those payments occurs.

h) Provisions
Provision is made for closure, reclamation and environmental rehabilitation costs (which include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure, removal of residual materials and remediation of disturbed areas) in the financial period when the related environmental disturbance occurs, based on the estimated future costs using information available at the date of the statement of financial position. At the time of establishing the provision, a corresponding asset is capitalized, where it gives rise to a future benefit, and depreciated over future production from the operations to which it relates. For properties where mining activities have ceased or are in reclamation, changes to the reclamation provision are charged directly to the combined statement of loss. The provision is discounted using a current market-based, risk-free discount rate and the accretion of the discount is included in finance expenses.
The provision is reviewed at each reporting date for changes to obligations, legislation or discount rates that impact estimated costs or lives of operations. The cost of the related asset is adjusted for changes in the provision resulting from changes in the estimated cash flows or discount rate and the adjusted cost of the asset is depreciated prospectively.
i) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, and sales taxes or duty. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when control has transferred, which is generally considered to occur when title passes to the customer. Once the title has passed to the customer, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, and the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the goods.
j) Income taxes
The separate return method was applied in the preparation of the combined financial statements.
Current tax for each taxable entity of the Company is based on the local taxable income at the local statutory tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and includes adjustments to tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method, providing for the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except where the deferred income tax asset and liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax assets also consist of carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax losses can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and deferred income tax assets where it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit is available to allow all or part of the asset to be utilized are not recognized.
Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis using the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is expected to be settled or the asset is expected to be realized, based on tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Current and deferred taxes relating to items recognized directly in equity are recognized in equity and not in the combined statement of loss.
|
FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
Mining taxes and royalties are treated and disclosed as current and deferred taxes if they have the characteristics of an income tax. This is the case when they are imposed under government authority and the amount payable is calculated by reference to revenue derived (net of any allowable deductions) after adjustment for items comprising temporary differences.
k) Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognized when the Company becomes party to a contractual obligation. At initial recognition, financial instruments are measured at fair value, net of the attributable transaction costs, except for financial assets and liabilities classified as fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). The transaction costs attributable to assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire.
On initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities are classified as and measured as follows:
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if they are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows solely represent payments of principal and interest. The Company's intent is to hold these financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms give rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless they are measured at FVTPL. These liabilities were recorded using the effective interest rate method and are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the combined statement of loss over the period of the debt using the effective interest method.
Financial assets are measured at FVTPL if they do not qualify as financial assets at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or not designated in hedge relationships. The Company initially recognizes these financial assets at their fair value with subsequent changes to fair values recognized in the combined statement of loss.
Financial liabilities are measured at FVTPL if they are specific liabilities, including derivatives, which cannot be classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost or not designated in hedge relationships. The Company initially recognizes these financial liabilities at their fair value with subsequent changes to fair values recognized in the combined statement of loss.
The Company may hold derivative financial instruments to hedge market risk exposures. These financial instruments are measured at fair value at each reporting period.
l) Earnings (loss) per share
Earnings (loss) per share has been presented for all periods based on the number of shares issued on the reorganization and amalgamation. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury method whereby proceeds from the exercise of share based compensation and the amount of compensation expense measured but not yet recognized in the combined statement of income are assumed to be used to purchase common shares of the Company at the average market price during the period. The diluted earnings per share excludes any potential conversion of stock options that would increase earnings per share. In periods of loss diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as the effect would be dilutive.
|
FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
m) Share capital
The proceeds from the issuance of the common shares and the exercise of stock options together with the fair value of
stock options previously recorded over the vesting period are recorded as share capital. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are charged to share capital.
n) Share based compensation
The Company grants share base awards to its directors and employees. The fair value of the awards is recognized over the vesting period as compensation expense and contributed surplus. The fair value of options is determined using the Black- Scholes option pricing model using estimates at the date of the grant. At each reporting period date prior to vesting, the cumulative expense representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management's best estimate of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest is computed. The change in cumulative expense is recognized in the combined statement of loss and contributed surplus. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest. When stock options are exercised, the proceeds received together with any related amount in contributed surplus are credited to share capital.
3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
a) The preparation of combined financial statements requires significant areas where estimates and judgment is applied. The following describe the accounting estimates in judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the combined financial statements:
Functional currency
The functional currency for each of the Company's entities is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The determination of the functional currency may involve judgments to determine the primary economic environment, if the functional currency is not or may not be clear. The Company reconsiders the functional currency if there is a change in conditions used to determine the economic environment. The Company has determined the functional currency to be the US dollar for its operating mines.
Deferred income taxes
The determination of deferred income tax requires management to make judgments related to the probability that future taxable profit will be sufficient to allow the recognition of deferred income tax assets and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon assessments by applicable tax authorities.
Tax judgments and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets recognized on the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognized. In such circumstances, some of the entire carrying amount of recognized deferred tax assets may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the combined statement of loss.
Deferred tax assets, including those arising from tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognized only where it is probable that taxable earnings will be available against which the losses or deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable earnings and repatriation of retained earnings depend on management's estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future production and sales volumes, commodity prices, reserves, resources, operating costs, closure and decommissioning costs, capital expenditures, dividends and other capital management transactions.

Stripping costs
The Company incurs waste removal costs (stripping costs) during the pre-production and production phases of its surface mining operations. During the production phase, stripping costs (production stripping costs) can be incurred both in relation to the production of inventory in that period and the creation of improved access and mining flexibility in relation to ore to be mined in the future. The former are included as part of production costs, while the latter are capitalized as deferred stripping, when certain criteria are met. Significant judgment is required to distinguish between pre-production stripping and production stripping and to distinguish between production stripping that relates to the extraction of inventory and that which relates to the creation of a deferred stripping asset.
Once the Company has identified its production stripping for each surface mining operation, it identifies the separate components of the ore bodies for each of its mining operations. An identifiable component is a specific volume of the ore body that is made more accessible by the stripping activity. Significant judgment is required to identify and define these components and to determine the expected volumes (e.g. in tonnes) of waste to be stripped and ore to be mined in each of these components. These assessments are undertaken for each individual mining operation based on the information available in the mine plan.
Judgment is also required to identify a suitable production measure to be used to allocate production stripping costs between inventory and any deferred stripping asset for each component. The Company considers that the ratio of the expected volume of waste to be stripped for an expected volume of ore to be mined for a specific component of the ore body is the most suitable production measure.
Work-in-process inventory / Production costs
The Company's management makes estimates of the expected recoverable ounces of gold on leach pads and the expected timing of recoveries in work-in-process inventory, which is also used in the determination of the cost of sales during the period. Expected recoverable ounces of gold on leach pads are determined based on the type of ore tonnes mined and placed on the leach pad, rock density, grams of gold per tonne and expected recovery rates.
Management relies on internal geological and metallurgical experts to develop estimates related to expected recoverable ounces of gold on leach pads and timing of recoveries. The Company monitors the ongoing recovery of gold ounces from the leach pads and may refine its estimates based on these results. Assumptions used in the net realizable value assessment include the estimated gold price at the time of sale, remaining costs of completion to bring inventory into its saleable form and discount rate. Changes in these estimates can result in a change in the carrying amount of inventories and future cost of sales.
Mineral properties
The cost of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties and the cost to increase future output by providing access to additional reserves or resources, are capitalized. Management relies on internal geological and metallurgical experts to develop estimates of recoverable reserves and resources, metallurgical recovery estimates, and future production volumes. After a mine commences production, these costs are amortized over the proven and probable reserves. The determination of reserves and resources is complex and requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to geological sampling and modeling, future commodity prices and costs to extract and process the ore. The mineral reserve or resource is used in estimating the value of the mineral property and in the determination of recoverable ounces which is further used in depletion and depreciation calculations.
Impairment expense (reversal) of non-current assets
The Company reviews the carrying amounts of the non-current assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may exceed the estimated recoverable amounts. All information available when preparing the combined financial statements was taken into consideration to determine whether there were indicators of impairment of the non-current assets, including subsequent to December 31, 2023 and prior to the date of these combined financial statements.
|
FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
Recoverable amounts are determined by reference to relevant market data, discounted future cash flows, and in-situ fair value per ounce of gold equivalent mineral reserves and resources not considered in the discounted cash flow model. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of those assets is no longer considered recoverable. Non-current assets that were previously impaired are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the impairment may have reversed.
Calculating the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU for non-current asset impairment tests requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to estimated recoverable mineral reserves and resources, metallurgical recovery estimates, estimated future commodity prices, future production volume, expected future operating, capital and reclamation costs, discount rates and exchange rates. Management relies on internal geological and metallurgical experts to develop estimates of recoverable mineral reserves and resources, metallurgical recovery estimates, and future production volumes as well as expected future operating, capital and reclamation costs. These estimates are subject to various risks and uncertainties which may ultimately influence the estimated recoverability of the carrying amounts of non-current assets. Management has assessed its cash generating units as being all sources of mill feed through a central mill, which is the lowest level for which cash inflows are largely independent of other assets.
Future gold prices, exchange rates, discount rates, estimates of recoverable reserves and resources, operating, capital and reclamation costs, and other key assumptions are used in the Company's impairment assessment. Changes in these assumptions could significantly impact the valuation of the Company's assets in the future.
As further discussed in note 23, an indicator of impairment of the Mexican CGUs was identified as at December 31, 2023, the recoverable amount of the non-current assets was estimated and it was determined that impairments should be recognized. Judgement was required to determine whether the proceeds implied by a non-binding offer received subsequent to the reporting period were indicative of the recoverable value of the non-current assets for the Mexico Business as at December 31, 2023. Calculating the estimated recoverable amount of the non-current assets required judgements that, if changed, would significantly impact the valuation of the assets in the future.
Reclamation provision
Reclamation provision represents the present value of estimated future costs for the reclamation of the Company's mines and properties. These estimates include assumptions as to the future activities, cost of services, timing of the reclamation work to be performed, inflation rates, exchange rates and discount rates.
The actual cost to reclaim a mine may vary from the estimated amounts because there are uncertainties in factors used to estimate the cost and potential changes in regulations or laws governing the reclamation of a mine. Management periodically reviews the reclamation requirements and adjusts the liability as new information becomes available and will assess the impact of new regulations and laws as they are enacted.
Contingencies
Due to the nature of the Company's operations, various legal and tax matters can arise from time to time that require estimation of amounts and probability of outcome. In the event that management's estimate of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the changes in its financial statements for the period in which such changes occur.

4 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
New standards and interpretations adopted January 1, 2023:
Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
In February 2021, the IASB amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and IFRS Practice Statement 2. The amendments to IAS 1 require an entity to disclose its material accounting policies instead of its significant accounting policies. The amendments include clarification on how an entity can determine material accounting policies by applying the 'four-step materiality process' described in IFRS Practice Statement 2. The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company adopted the amendments effective January 1, 2023, with no material impact to the combined financial statements for 2023.
Amendments to IAS 12 - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction
The Company also adopted the IASB published amendments to IAS 12 - Income Taxes at January 1, 2023. The amendments require companies to recognize deferred tax on particular transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments typically apply to transactions such as leases for the lessee and decommissioning and restoration obligations related to assets in operation. The Company has concluded that the adoption of the amendments had no significant impact on its combined financial statements.

In April 2021, the Company received notice that the plaintiff is pursuing an appeal of the court's decision to dismiss the plaintiff's certification application.
The appeal was argued in the Court of Appeal in January 2022 and in March 2022 the Court of Appeal released its decision allowing the appeal but remitting the matter of certification to the trial court for further consideration. On July 28, 2023, the Court certified a class proceeding against Alio. Pursuant to the Court's decision, the class members in the class proceeding include all individuals or entities whose Rye Patch shares were acquired by Alio in exchange for Alio common shares and cash as part of the plan of arrangement entered into between Alio and Rye Patch, but excludes all of those individuals or entities that sold their shares in Alio prior to August 10, 2018. The proceeding is currently scheduled to proceed to trial before the British Columbia Supreme Court in June 2025.
The Company has reviewed the claim and is of the view that it is without merit. However, the outcome of the claim is not determinable at this time. Accordingly, no liability was accrued in the Alio purchase price allocation and no liability has been recognized in the Company's combined financial statements.

22 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to financial instrument risks such as credit risk, market price and liquidity risk. Argonaut's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework and reviews the Company's policies on an ongoing basis.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the non-performance by counterparties of contractual financial obligations. The Company maintains substantially all of its cash with major financial institutions. Deposits held with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company manages credit risk for trade and other receivables through established credit monitoring activities. To reduce credit risk, the Company regularly reviews the collectability of its amounts receivable and records an expected credit loss based on its best estimate of potentially uncollectible amounts. The Company currently transacts with highly rated counterparties for the sale of gold and receivables. The Company views its related party receivable and loan receivable amounts to be collectible.
b) Market price risk
i) Commodity price risk
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk as its revenues from the sale of precious metals are exposed to metal price fluctuations in the market. The Company may manage this risk by entering into agreements with various counterparties to mitigate price risk.
Commodity derivative contracts - gold collars
In August 2019, the Company entered into zero-cost collar contracts whereby it purchased a series of gold put option contracts and sold a series of gold call option contracts with equal and offsetting values at inception (referred to as the "Gold Collars"). All of the Gold Collars had expired as at June 30, 2022. Payments for the settlement of the derivatives were finalized in July 2022. During 2022, a reversal of prior period unrealized loss of $1,257 and a realized loss of $1,981 was recognized in the combined statement of loss on the fair value of the Gold Collars. The details of the Company's commodity contracts are as follows:
| Commodity contracts at inception |
Status | Quantity(2) (oz) |
Term | Strike price per oz(1)(2) |
| Gold put options - purchased | Expired | 18,000 | January 2022 - June 2022 | $ 1,450.00 |
| Gold call options - sold | Expired | 13,500 | January 2022 - June 2022 | $ 1,745.00 |
| Gold call options - sold | Expired | 4,500 | January 2022 - June 2022 | $ 1,816.00 |
(1) Contracts were exercisable based on the average price for the month being below the strike price of the put or above the strike price of the call.
(2) Quantities and strike prices did not fluctuate by month within each calendar year.
|
FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
ii) Foreign exchange risk
The Company's cash flows from its Mexican operations are exposed to foreign exchange risk as the majority of operating expenses and capital expenditures are denominated in Mexican pesos. The Company manages a portion of its exposure to foreign exchange risk by various methods, including maintaining adequate funds in Mexican pesos.
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through the following financial instruments denominated in currencies other than the US dollar as at December 31:
| US dollar value of Mexican peso balances |
||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 2,105 | 2,682 | ||||
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (10,355 | ) | (17,425 | ) | ||
| Other liabilities | (1,080 | ) | (3,076 | ) | ||
| (9,330 | ) | (17,819 | ) | |||
A 10.0% change in the Mexican peso would result in a $0.9 million change in the Company's net foreign exchange for 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $1.8 million change in the Company's net foreign exchange).
iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has additional exposure to interest rate risk for its related party loans that are subject to a floating interest rate which are based on market rates.
c) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalent balances. The Company continuously monitors and reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows, and matches the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities.
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, related party receivables and payables and related party loan receivables and loan payables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities and other liabilities.
The fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements has the following levels:
• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
• Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, related party receivable and payables, current related party loan receivable and payables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The carrying amounts of related party loan receivable, related party loan payable, and other liabilities are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values as either there have been no significant changes in market interest rates or the liability bears interest at a floating rate. These financial assets and liabilities were classified as Level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs.

23 IMPAIRMENT EXPENSE (REVERSAL)
The Company performs an impairment assessment when impairment or impairment reversal indicators for its CGUs are identified. During 2023, the Company recognized an impairment expense and an impairment (reversal) and in 2022 an impairment expense was recognized as summarized in the following tables:
| 2023 | ||||||||||||
| Mineral properties |

| Total impairment expense | 80,057 | 45,111 | 10,379 | 135,547 | ||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed an assessment of impairment expense and impairment reversal indicators for each of the Company's CGUs.
All available information indicative of potential impairments was considered in determining the fair value less cost of sale of the non-current assets including the proposed spin out of Argonaut's assets and liabilities in the United States and Mexico. The fair value of the US and Mexican assets implied by the Transaction, amongst other information, was considered.
The Company identified an indicator of impairment for its Mexican assets subsequent to the reporting period. This recognition arose due to the receipt of a non-binding offer indicating that the fair value less cost to sell of the Mexican assets, was below the carrying value of the CGUs associated with the Mexican assets. The amount of the impairment expense recognized is $53.0 million, and has been proportionally allocated to the CGU's of the El Castillo mining complex, the La Colorada mine and the Cerro del Gallo project.
The Company identified an indicator of impairment reversal for Florida Canyon, following a significant revision to its life-of- mine plan. During 2023, there was a change in strategy to increase the volume of run-of-mine material deposited on the north heap leach pad at Florida Canyon, leading to an increase in gold equivalent ounce production. As a result of this, the life-of- mine plan has been extended to 2033, incorporating additional capital expenditures for the construction of a new heap leach pad which is expected to be completed in 2024 and higher volumes of run-of-mine material. The amount of the impairment reversal recognized is $24.0 million, which is the current carrying amount had the previous impairments not been recognized.

FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
Impairment reversal testing: 2023 Key assumptions
Florida Canyon projected cash flows used in impairment reversal testing were significantly affected by changes in assumptions for metal prices, estimates of production costs, future capital expenditures, changes in the amount of recoverable reserves, resources, and exploration potential and discount rates.
The determination of FVLCD includes the following key assumptions:
• Long term and short term gold price per ounce: $1,800 and $1,950, respectively;
• Expected future operating and capital costs based on budgeted and LOM costs;
• Future production volume and metallurgical recovery estimates as indicated in the LOM plans;
• In-situ value per ounce of gold equivalent mineral reserves and resources for the Florida Canyon mine of approximately $42 per ounce; and
• Real after-tax discount rate: 5.0%.
Sensitivity analysis 2023
The Company has performed a sensitivity analysis on the Florida Canyon CGU where an impairment reversal was recorded. Based on the impairment testing performed as at December 31, 2023, the sensitivity to changes in these key assumptions appear below for Florida Canyon:
| $ millions | Change in recoverable amount from a 5% change in gold price |
Change in recoverable amount from a 5% change in operating costs |
Change in recoverable amount from a 1% change in the discount rate |
||||||
| Florida Canyon mine | 40.1 | 29.1 | 4.7 |
The impact of the sensitivities performed above would not individually change the results of the Company's 2023 impairment reversal recognition.
2022 Impairment
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified impairment indicators for the La Colorada mine, the Florida Canyon mine, the San Agustin mine, the El Castillo mine, and the Ana Paula project CGUs. Accordingly, the Company estimated the recoverable amounts of these CGUs and compared them to the carrying values of the CGUs. The recoverable amount was determined as the FVLCD for each CGU. The FVLCD was determined using a discounted future cash-flow model for each CGU. For the Ana Paula project, management used initial consideration and management's best estimate of the likelihood of the additional consideration that is contingent upon several triggers including permitting, feasibility and a construction decision, in addition to macroeconomic, country and asset specific risk factors.
The Company identified indicators of potential impairment and recorded an impairment expense in the combined statement of loss. For each CGU the FVLCD was determined using a discounted cash flow model, unless otherwise noted and where applicable the in-situ fair value for mineral reserves and resources not already included in the discounted cash flow model was based on sale transactions of comparable assets. A summary by CGU is as follows:
|
FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
• El Castillo mine CGU, the early end of mining operations was identified as an impairment indicator. As a result of the Company's impairment assessment, mineral properties, and plant and equipment were written down by $6.7 million to its recoverable value of $nil, which was determined based on the FVLCD.
• For the Florida Canyon mine's CGU, an increase in expected operating costs and reduction in metallurgical recovery estimates were identified as impairment indicators. As a result of the Company's impairment assessment, mineral properties, and plant and equipment were written down by $48.1 million to its recoverable value of $54.0 million, which was determined based on the FVLCD.
• For the San Agustin mine's CGU, the inability to obtain required permits, an increase in expected operating costs and an updated mine plan resulting in an increased strip ratio were identified as impairment indicators. As a result of the Company's impairment assessment, mineral properties and plant and equipment were written down by $43.0 million to its recoverable value of $6.6 million, which was determined based on the FVLCD.
• For the La Colorada mine's CGU, the inability to obtain required permits and an increase in expected operating costs were identified as impairment indicators. As a result of the Company's impairment assessment, mineral properties and plant and equipment were written down by $27.3 million to its recoverable value of $29.3 million, which was determined based on the FVLCD.
• Upon reclassification of the Ana Paula project to a disposal group in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company assessed the Ana Paula project for impairment. The Company used initial consideration and management's best estimate of the likelihood of the additional consideration that is contingent upon several triggers including permitting, feasibility and a construction decision, in addition to macroeconomic, country and counterparty specific risk factors. The Company performed a probability assessment of each contractual provision based upon likelihood of the action. Some of the provisions are time-based while others are achievement oriented. This probability analysis was the basis for the valuation of the FVLCD of Ana Paula. The Company assessed the recoverable amount for the non-current assets including the exploration and evaluation assets of the Ana Paula project, and determined a recoverable value based on the FVLCD of the Ana Paula project of $13.3 million, which was lower than the carrying value of the CGU. Accordingly, an impairment of $10.4 million was recognized.
Impairment testing: 2022 Key assumptions
The projected cash flows used in impairment testing are significantly affected by changes in assumptions for metal prices, estimates of production costs, future capital expenditures, changes in the amount of recoverable reserves, resources, and exploration potential, discount rates, inflation and exchange rates.
The determination of FVLCD includes the following key assumptions:
• Long term and short term gold price per ounce: $1,650 and $1,730, respectively;
• Exchange rates: $1.35 Canadian dollars per US dollar, and $20.00 Mexican pesos per US dollar;
• Expected future operating and capital costs based on budgeted and LOM costs;
• Future production volume and metallurgical recovery estimates as indicated in the LOM plans;
• In-situ value per ounce of gold equivalent mineral reserves and resources for the Florida Canyon mine of $38 per ounce; and
• Real after-tax discount rate: 5.0% for the El Castillo, San Agustin, and Florida Canyon CGUs, and 7% for the La Colorada CGU.

24 EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the following events occurred:
a) On July 8, 2024, the amalgamation of the Merger Subsidiaries was completed to form FCGI. The common shares of the Merger Subsidiaries were exchanged for 65,000,000 common shares of FCGI. In July 2024, a minority interest in the shares of former Argonaut subsidiary Minera Real del Oro, S.A. de C.V ("MRO") were redeemed from by Argonaut such that as of July 12, 2024, ("Closing Date"), FCGI wholly owns MRO. On the Closing Date, FCGI issued an additional 62,877,685 common shares to Argonaut pursuant to the FCGI Contribution Agreement (described below) resulting in 127,877,685 of common shares outstanding prior to the completion of the Transaction.
| Share capital | Number of shares |
Amount | ||||
| As at December 31, 20231 | 255,675,318 | 378,003 | ||||
| Share exchange as a result of amalgamation (a) | (190,675,318 | ) | - | |||
| On July 8, 2024 | 65,000,000 | 378,003 | ||||
| Share issuance related to Contribution Agreement (d) | 62,877,685 | 53,100 | ||||
| Alamos private placement (e) | 10,099,027 | 10,000 | ||||
| As of July 12, 2024 | 137,976,712 | 441,103 |
1 The Merger Subsidiaries number of shares were as follows: Alio Gold Inc. - 85,993,371, Castle Gold Inc.- 85,866,744, Pediment Corp. - 1, San Anton Resources Corporation - 83,815,202.
Under the Agreement (note 1), each existing Argonaut stock option ("Argonaut option") is exchanged for a FCGI stock option ("FCGI option") on a 1:1 exchange basis. Each FCGI option is exercisable for 0.1 of a FCGI share. As a result, upon closing of the Transaction on the Closing Date, following the exchange of Argonaut options for FCGI options, FCGI had 1,983,271 options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of CA$1.48 and with a weighted average expiry date of 3 years.
For the purposes of computing net loss per share, the number of shares outstanding for the period prior to the Transaction is deemed to be the number of shares issued by the Company as a result of the reorganization that occurred on July 8, 2024 (65,000,000 common shares of FCGI issued to effect the share exchange). The table below summarizes the number of common shares and the calculation of net loss per share for the years ended December 31:
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||
| Net loss | $ | (16,607) $ | (148,798 | ) | ||
| Basic and diluted shares outstanding | 65,000,000 | 65,000,000 | ||||
| Basic and diluted loss per share | $ | (0.26) $ | (2.29 | ) |
b) In July 2024, the related party payable balances were settled through an increase of $9.7 million (related party payable balance as at December 31, 2023 - $12.8 million) in stated capital which was recorded in shareholders' equity and a share issuance to Argonaut in the amount of $53.1 million (related party payable balance as at December 31, 2023 - $43.7 million) as part of the FCGI Contribution Agreement (described below) and the related party receivable balances were settled through a reduction of stated capital which was recorded in shareholder's equity of $75.1 million (related party receivable balance as at December 31, 2023 - $51.1 million). Related party loans receivable of $6.0 million remain outstanding from Prodigy.
|
FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. |
c) On Closing Date, Alamos and FCGI entered into an agreement by which a 2% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") based-payment on all production with respect to all properties comprising Florida Canyon mine is payable quarterly (the "Alamos NSR"). The Alamos NSR is consideration for the corporate guarantee of Alamos in an amount not to exceed $55 million ("the Guarantee") which was delivered in connection with the Florida Canyon Surety Bonds. The Guarantee will support the continuation of any existing surety bonds required by the relevant authorities in the State of Nevada. On Closing Date, Argonaut is no longer a guarantor.
d) On Closing Date, FCGI, Argonaut and Alamos entered into the FCGI Contribution Agreement by which certain of the Argonaut assets and liabilities, in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, were transferred or assumed by FCGI in exchange for FCGI shares. Related party loans payable to Argonaut of $53.1 million and the issued and outstanding shares of Argonaut Gold (U.S) Inc, a former subsidiary of Argonaut with a nominal value, were contributed.
e) On the Closing Date, Alamos purchased 10,099,027 of FCGI common shares for a total subscription price of $10.0 million or $0.99 per share by way of private placement resulting in 137,976,712 of FCGI common shares outstanding. On Closing Date, Alamos retains 19.99% or 27,581,545 of FCGI's outstanding shares.
f) Subsequent to the reporting period it was determined that the sale of the Mexican assets is highly probable within one year. This decision follows the initiation of negotiations with a third party. Management anticipates the sales price to approximate the current fair value of the Mexican assets. Given the advanced stage of negotiations and Management's commitment to sell the assets, it is highly probable that the sale will be completed within the specified timeframe.
g) On Closing Date, Argonaut third party debt was repaid by Alamos and FCGI is no longer a guarantor of the debt.

1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Florida Canyon Gold Inc. (the "Company" or "FCGI") is a Canadian gold company that was formed under the Canada Business Corporation Act by way of a statutory amalgamation on July 8, 2024 between Alio Gold Inc., Castle Gold Corporation, Pediment Gold Corp. and San Anton Resource Corporation (the "Merger Subsidiaries"). Prior to the amalgamation, all of the companies were wholly owned subsidiaries of Argonaut Gold Inc. ("Argonaut" or "Parent"), a publicly listed company on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the Symbol "AR". On March 27, 2024, Argonaut entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Agreement") to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of Argonaut (the "Transaction"). As part of the Transaction, FCGI, which comprises Argonaut's assets in the United States and Mexico was spun out to Argonaut's existing shareholders.
The Transaction was completed on July 12, 2024. Concurrently, the Company underwent a restructuring and became a publicly listed company on TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol FCGV on July 16, 2024 (note 16).
On July 16, 2024, the Company entered into a binding agreement with Heliostar Metals Ltd.("Heliostar") to sell its interests in the San Agustin mine, El Castillo mine, La Colorada mine, Cerro del Gallo project and San Antonio project (the "Mexican Assets") (note 3).
On July 28, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra") to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of FCGI pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") (note 16).
The registered office of the Company is located at 100 King Street West, Suite 3400, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1A4, Canada and its head office is located at 200 Bay Street, Suite 1302, Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, Toronto, ON M5J 2J3.
The Company has two operating mines: the Florida Canyon mine and the San Agustin mine. Residual production is expected from two additional mines located in Mexico. The La Colorada mine was placed on care and maintenance at the end of 2023 pending a decision on strategic options for the mine, while mining activities ceased at the El Castillo mine in December 2022, and the mine is now in reclamation. The Company also has a development project Cerro del Gallo. The San Agustin mine and the El Castillo mine make up the El Castillo mining complex.
2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Statement of compliance and basis of presentation
These interim condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to interim financial reports, including International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Therefore, these interim condensed combined financial statements do not include all the information and note disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
These interim condensed combined financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on August 29, 2024.
| FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited and in thousands of United States dollars) |
b) Material accounting policies
These accounting policies applied in these interim condensed combined financial statements are consistent with those applied in the most recent combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, with the addition of the below.
Assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets and disposal groups are considered held for sale when their carrying value will be:
• recovered principally through a sale transaction that is highly probable and expected to be completed within one year, and
• the underlying assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary.
Classification as held for sale results in non-current assets and disposal groups being measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell ("FVLCS"). If the FVLCS is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the combined statement of (loss) income. Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities that are classified as held for sale are presented separately as current assets and current liabilities in the Company's combined balance sheets.
A disposal group qualifies as a discontinued operation if it is a component of the Company's business that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:
• represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
• is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
• is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
A component of the Company comprises of operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company. Additionally, a component will have been a cash generating unit ("CGU") or a group of CGUs while held for use. Classification of a component as a discontinued operation results in the reclassification of the after-tax loss for the comparative period being restated for the current period. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount of profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the combined statement of (loss) income.
c) New and amended accounting standards
The following accounting amendments were adopted by the Company in the current year-to-date period:
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued a new standard - IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18"), which is mandatory for annual accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1; many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but it might change what an entity reports as its 'operating profit or loss'. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new accounting standard on its combined financial statements.
| FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited and in thousands of United States dollars) |
d) Significant estimates and judgments
The preparation of these interim condensed combined financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may vary from those estimates and judgments due to inherent uncertainty or other factors. The Company regularly reviews its estimates and judgments. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities applied in the preparation of these interim condensed combined financial statements, along with the judgments, estimates, assumptions, and risks discussed here reflect updates from the annual combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Assets held for sale
As at June 30, 2024, the Company classified certain assets and liabilities as held for sale related to the sale of the Mexican Assets as the Company deems the transaction with Heliostar highly probable of being completed within one year of that date. To complete the transaction, the Company requires regulatory approvals which the Company views as highly probable. Significant judgment was required in the application of IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations ("IFRS 5") regarding the classification of the Mexican assets as held for sale and classification as discontinued operations.
The Mexican Assets represent separate geographic locations of operations. The Mexico Assets are held by separate legal entities that have their own employees, financial reporting and operations. Accordingly, the operating results of the Mexico based mining assets have been classified as discontinued operations.
Impairment on non-current assets
The Company reviews the carrying amounts of non-current assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may exceed the estimated recoverable amounts. The Company determined that the sale agreements with Heliostar and Integra represent indicators that the carrying amounts of the Company's non-current assets should be assessed for impairment as at June 30, 2024.
Calculating the estimated recoverable amount of the Company's non-current assets required management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, if changed, would significantly impact the valuation of the assets in the future.
3 HELD FOR SALE / DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On July 16, 2024, the Company entered into a binding agreement with Heliostar to sell its interests in the Mexican Assets. Heliostar will pay cash consideration of $5.0 million to FCGI. In addition, FCGI is entitled to cash generated by the Mexican Assets prior to July 11, 2024 and cash of $5.2 million generated from operating cash flow after July 16, 2024, subject to a minimum of $2.0 million of net working capital being left in the Mexican Assets on closing.
As part of the sale of the Mexican Assets, the Company will enter into an agreement with Heliostar to eliminate the outstanding contingent payments payable pursuant to the agreement under which Heliostar previously acquired the Ana Paula project and the conditional option payments on the San Antonio project.
The Company expects to close the sale of the Mexican Assets in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sale is subject to certain closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals.
| FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited and in thousands of United States dollars) |
As at June 30, 2024, the Mexican Assets met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5.
Financial results of the Mexican Assets disposal groups are summarized as follows:

a) During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had a blockade at its El Castillo mining complex. The incremental costs related to this blockade were $1.3 million and were recognized in other expenses, offset by gain on foreign exchange.
b) As at June 30, 2024, the Company had measured the disposal group at the lower of carrying value and its estimated FVLCS, which resulted in an impairment expense of $7.4 million being recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The impairment has been allocated $3.1 million to contingent consideration from a previous sale of the Ana Paula project and $4.3 million to the mineral properties, plant and equipment (note 8). The FVLCS was based on the consideration agreed upon with Heliostar ($5 million) and the cash flows expected to be generated from the operation of the Mexican Assets prior to closing to which the Company is entitled ($5.2 million), net of estimated transaction costs. The Company determined the composition of the CGUs and the allocation of individual assets and liabilities between the disposal group and FCGI including the exclusion of cash and certain trade receivables. The estimation of the cash flows expected to be generated from the operation of the Mexican Assets prior to closing required management to make judgements and estimates in respect of assumptions such as future commodity prices, future production and operating costs.
c) The Company recognized the following inventory impairment (reversals) related to the net realizable value of the supplies and material, work-in-process inventories and ore stockpiles held by the Mexican disposal group. The inventory impairment (reversals) are reported in production costs.

13 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Various tax and legal matters are outstanding from time to time. Judgments and assumptions regarding these matters are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations. In the event that management's estimate of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of these on the date such changes occur.
Royalty Agreements
Florida Canyon has entered into two royalty agreements with Top Hat Partnership ("Top Hat") and Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. ("Triple Flag"). The Company must pay 2.5% to Top Hat and 3.00% to Triple Flag of the Net Smelter Returns on all production. Royalty costs for three and six months ended June 30, 2024 in the amount of $2.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, (three and six months ended June 30, 2023 - $2.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively) were included in production costs.
Notice of Civil Claim
Alio Gold Inc ("Alio"), a subsidiary of the Company since July 2020 received a Notice of Civil Claim from a former shareholder of Rye Patch Gold Corp. ("Rye Patch") whose shares were acquired by Alio. The plaintiff brought the claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "Court") pursuant to the Class Proceedings Act and is seeking damages against Alio for alleged misrepresentations with respect to anticipated gold production during the year ended December 31, 2018. In March 2021, the Court dismissed the plaintiff's application to certify the action as a class proceeding. In April 2021, the Company received notice that the plaintiff was pursuing an appeal of the Court's decision to dismiss the plaintiff's certification application.
The appeal was argued in the Court of Appeal in January 2022 and in March 2022 the Court of Appeal released its decision allowing the appeal and remitting the matter of certification to the trial court for further consideration. On July 28, 2023, the Court of British Columbia certified a class proceeding against Alio. Pursuant to the Court's decision, the class members in the class proceeding include all individuals or entities whose Rye Patch shares were acquired by Alio in exchange for Alio common shares and cash as part of the plan of arrangement entered into between Alio and Rye Patch, but excludes all of those individuals or entities that sold their shares in Alio prior to August 10, 2018. The proceeding is currently scheduled to proceed to trial before the British Columbia Supreme Court in June 2025.
The Company has reviewed the claim and is of the view that it is without merit. However, the outcome of the claim is not determinable at this time. Accordingly, no liability was accrued in the Alio purchase price allocation and no liability has been recognized in the Company's combined financial statements.
14 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, related party receivables and payables and related party loan receivables and payables, trade and other payables, debt, derivative assets and liabilities, and other liabilities.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. They are as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
| FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited and in thousands of United States dollars) |
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The following table outlines the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities by category:
| June 30, 2024 |
December 31, 2023 |
|||||
| Financial assets at amortized cost(1) | 103,827 | 101,010 | ||||
| Financial liabilities at amortized cost(2) | (100,624 | ) | (108,536 | ) | ||
| Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss(3) | 3,428 | 3,220 |
(1) Financial assets at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents, receivables and related party receivables.
(2)Financial liabilities at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, related party payables and other liabilities.
(3) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include reclamation deposits
The following table outlines the fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the interim condensed combined statements of financial position, or financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost but for which the fair value is disclosed, and the level of the inputs used to determine those fair values in the context of the hierarchy as defined above:
| As at June 30, 2024 | As at December 31, 2023 | |||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||||||||

| Financial Liabilities | ||||||||||||||||||
| Other liabilities | - | - | - | - | - | 997 | ||||||||||||
| - | - | - | - | - | 997 | |||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, related party receivable and payables, current related party loan receivable and loan payables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The carrying amounts of related party loan receivable, related party loan payable, and other liabilities are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values as either there have been no significant changes in market interest rates or the liability bears interest at a floating rate. These financial assets and liabilities were classified as Level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs.

15 IMPAIRMENT
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized an impairment for the Florida Canyon mine CGU and certain related party loans receivable as summarized in the following tables:
| Related party loans |
Mineral | Plant and | ||||||||||
| receivable | properties | equipment | Total | |||||||||
| Florida Canyon mine | - | 12,927 | 24,614 | 37,541 | ||||||||

| Total | 3,000 | 12,927 | 24,614 | 40,541 |
Pursuant to the arrangement with Integra on closing, FCGI shareholders will receive 0.467 of an Integra share for each FCGI share held. The Company has recorded an impairment based upon the implied value of the estimated proceeds. In order to estimate the proceeds, the Company used the share exchange ratio of FCGI shares for Integra shares as defined in the Arrangement. The estimated proceeds imply $0.43 per FCGI share based on the five days weighted average price of the Integra shares on August 20, 2024. The Company recognized an impairment expense of $37.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and allocated the impairment to the mineral properties and plant and equipment of the Florida Canyon Mine. A 5 % change in the volume weighted average price of the Integra shares in the calculation of the estimated proceeds would result in a decrease/increase in the recorded impairment of approximately $3.1 million.
16 EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the following events occurred:
a) On July 8, 2024, the amalgamation of the Merger Subsidiaries was completed to form FCGI. The common shares of the Merger Subsidiaries were exchanged for 65,000,000 common shares of FCGI. In July 2024, a minority interest in the shares of former Argonaut subsidiary Minera Real del Oro, S.A. de C.V ("MRO") were redeemed such that as of July 12, 2024, ("Closing Date"), FCGI wholly owns MRO. On the Closing Date, FCGI issued an additional 62,877,685 common shares to Argonaut pursuant to the FCGI Contribution Agreement (described below) resulting in 127,877,685 of common shares outstanding prior to the completion of the Transaction.

| As of July 12, 2024 | 137,976,712 | 441,103 |
1 The Merger Subsidiaries number of shares were as follows: Alio Gold Inc. - 85,993,371, Castle Gold Inc.- 85,866,744, Pediment Corp. - 1, San Anton Resources Corporation - 83,815,202.
| FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited and in thousands of United States dollars) |
Under the Agreement (note 1), each existing Argonaut stock option ("Argonaut option") was exchanged for a FCGI stock option ("FCGI option") on a 1:1 exchange basis. Each FCGI option is exercisable for 0.1 of a FCGI share. As a result, upon closing of the Transaction on the Closing Date, following the exchange of Argonaut options for FCGI options, FCGI had 1,983,271 options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of CA$1.48 and with a weighted average expiry date of 3 years.
For the purposes of computing net loss per share, the number of shares outstanding for the period prior to the Transaction is deemed to be the number of shares issued by the Company as a result of the reorganization that occurred on July 8, 2024 (65,000,000 common shares of FCGI issued to effect the share exchange). The table below summarizes the number of common shares and the calculation of net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30:

b) On Closing Date, FCGI, Argonaut and Alamos entered into the FCGI Contribution Agreement by which certain of the Argonaut assets and liabilities, in accordance with the Agreement, were transferred or assumed by FCGI in exchange for FCGI shares. Related party loans payable to Argonaut of $53.1 million and the issued and outstanding shares of Argonaut Gold (U.S) Inc, a former subsidiary of Argonaut with a nominal value, were contributed.
c) On the Closing Date, Alamos purchased 10,099,027 of FCGI common shares for a total subscription price of $10.0 million or $0.99 per share by way of private placement resulting in 137,976,712 of FCGI common shares outstanding. On Closing Date, Alamos retains 19.99% or 27,581,545 of FCGI's outstanding shares.
d) In July 2024, the related party payable balances were settled through an increase of $9.7 million (related party payable balance as at June 30, 2024- $13.0 million) in stated capital which was recorded in shareholders' equity and a share issuance to Argonaut in the amount of $53.4 million (related party payable balance as at June 30, 2024 - $53.3 million) as part of the FCGI Contribution Agreement (described below) and the related party receivable balances were settled through a reduction of stated capital which was recorded in shareholder's equity of $75.1 million (related party receivable balance as at June 30, 2024 - $75.4 million). On closing, related party loans receivable of $6.0 million remained outstanding from Prodigy. The Company has concluded that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery for $3.0 million of this related party loan receivable from Prodigy, resulting in an impairment expense of $3.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The related party loans receivable are non-interest bearing and due on demand.
| FLORIDA CANYON GOLD INC. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited and in thousands of United States dollars) |
e) On the Closing Date, Alamos and FCGI entered into an agreement by which a 2% NSR based-payment on all production with respect to all properties comprising Florida Canyon mine is payable quarterly (the "Alamos NSR"). The Alamos NSR is consideration for the corporate guarantee of Alamos in an amount not to exceed $55 million ("the Guarantee") which was delivered in connection with the Florida Canyon Surety Bonds. The Guarantee supports the continuation of any existing surety bonds required by the relevant authorities in the State of Nevada. On Closing Date, Argonaut is no longer a guarantor. On closing of the Arrangement, Integra will become the guarantor of the surety bond and release the Alamos surety bond guarantee and its NSR.
f) On the Closing Date, Argonaut third party debt was repaid by Alamos and FCGI is no longer a guarantor of the debt.
g) On July 15, 2024, the Company received the final listing approval from the TSXV and commenced trading on the TSXV at the opening of the market on July 16, 2024 under the symbol "FCGV".
h) On July 28, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Integra to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of FCGI, including the Company's Florida Canyon mine, located in Nevada, United States and all holding companies.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, FCGI shareholders will receive 0.467 of an Integra share for each FCGI share held. Existing shareholders of Integra and FCGI will own approximately 60% and 40% of the combined company, respectively, on a fully- diluted in-the-money basis. The Arrangement is subject to the completion of the sale of the Mexican Assets.
i) On July 16, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan ("Plan") for certain qualified directors, executive officers, employees and consultants of the Company.
On August 1, 2024, The Company granted an aggregate of 1,980,833 restricted share units ("RSU") and 498,659 deferred share units ("DSU") under the Plan to certain employees, executive officers, directors, and consultants. Each RSUs and DSUs confers upon its holder the right to receive, without payment of any consideration, one common share or, at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, a cash payment equal to the market value at the time the conversion takes place of such common share, with the additional option of receiving any combination of cash and common shares. The DSUs and RSUs will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. At the discretion of the Board, vesting may be accelerated in the event of a change of control.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION
These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the purposes of Business Acquisition Report of Integra Resources Corp.

The Transaction was announced on July 29, 2024 and closed on November 8, 2024.
Under the terms of the Transaction, Florida Canyon shareholders are entitled to receive 0.467 of a common share of Integra (each whole share, an "Integra Share") for each Florida Canyon Share held (the "Exchange Ratio").

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, Expressed in United States dollars)
In the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Transaction contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the financial position and results of operations that would have occurred if the transactions had taken place on the dates indicated or of the financial position or operating results which may be obtained in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not a forecast or projection of future results. The actual financial position and results of operations of Integra for any period following June 30, 2024, will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position, and such variation may be material.
The Transaction is considered to be a business combination under IFRS 3 Business Combinations ("IFRS 3"). The acquisition method of accounting was used to prepare these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements with Integra identified as the acquirer. This method utilizes fair value estimates and assumptions for the allocation of the estimated purchase price to the identifiable assets and liabilities of Florida Canyon. These estimates may be materially different from the actual purchase price and fair value amounts reported subsequent to the Transaction taking place.
These pro forma financials have not been reviewed by the Company's auditors.
Bought Deal Private Placement Offering of Subscription Receipts
On August 21, 2024, Integra completed a bought deal private placement offering of 14,900,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of C$1.35 ($0.99) per Subscription Receipt (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of approximately C$20 million ($14.7 million) (the "Offering"). The Offering was conducted by Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. and Eight Capital, as co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners, together with a syndicate of underwriters including BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Desjardins Securities Inc., and Ventum Financial Corp. (collectively, the "Underwriters").
The gross proceeds from the Offering have been placed into escrow with TSX Trust Company (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"). Each Subscription Receipt represents the right of a holder to receive, upon satisfaction or waiver of certain release conditions (including the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Transaction other than the issuance of the consideration shares to shareholders of FCGI) (the "Escrow Release Conditions"), without payment of additional consideration, one common share in the capital of Integra (the "Integra Share") subject to adjustments and in accordance with the terms and conditions of a subscription receipt agreement entered into among the Company, the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Underwriters. If the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied on or before December 15, 2024 (the "Termination Date"), the escrowed funds, together with interest earned thereon, will be released to the Company. If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied prior to the Termination Date, the escrowed funds, together with interest earned thereon, will be returned on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Subscription Receipts, and the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and have no further force and effect. The Subscription Receipts, including the Integra Shares issuable upon conversion thereof, are subject to a statutory hold period expiring on December 22, 2024.
In connection with the Offering, and assuming the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied prior to the Termination Date, the Underwriters will receive a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Subscription Receipts, other than in respect of certain president's list purchasers, in which case the commission was reduced to 3.0%.
Following completion of the Transaction, the net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used to fund mine optimization opportunities at the Florida Canyon mine, continued advancement of the DeLamar and Nevada North projects and for general corporate purposes.
Since the closing of the Offering is conditional on the closing of the Transaction, these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the closing of the Offering.
The Escrow Release Conditions were satisfied subsequent to the quarter-end, and as a result, the escrowed funds were released to the Company, and the Subscription Receipts were exchanged for Integra Shares.

Amendments to the Beedie Capital Credit Facility
In connection with the closing of the Transaction, Integra announced that it has entered into a fourth supplemental credit agreement (the "Fourth Supplemental Credit Agreement") with Beedie Investments Ltd. ("Beedie Capital") to amend the convertible loan agreement dated July 28, 2022, as amended by a first supplemental credit agreement dated as of February 26, 2023, a second supplemental credit agreement dated as of May 4, 2023 and a third supplemental agreement dated as of February 20, 2024 (collectively with the Fourth Supplemental Credit Agreement, the "Credit Agreement", pursuant to which Beedie Capital agreed to loan up to $20 million (the "Convertible Facility")). Beedie Capital agreed to a second advance in the amount of $5.0 million (the "Subsequent Advance") subject to satisfying certain conditions under the Fourth Supplemental Credit Agreement, and to further amend the Convertible Facility to accommodate the assets of Florida Canyon and its subsidiaries, each of which, following the closing of the Transaction, will be loan parties and provide guarantees and security for the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
Beedie Capital and Integra further agreed to, conditional upon closing of the Transaction, amend the terms of the Credit Agreement to provide for the following: (i) subject to TSXV approval, modify the conversion price on the initial advance of $10 million (the "Initial Advance") from C$2.3625 ($1.73) per Integra Share to a 25% premium to the Issue Price, being C$1.6875 ($1.22); (ii) extension of the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from July 28, 2025 to July 31, 2027; (iii) extension of the period during which scheduled interest payments will be capitalized as principal from the current expiry date of October 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024; (iv) modification of the make-whole fee from the amount of interest Integra would have paid had the Convertible Facility continued for 36 months from the Initial Advance to 48 months from the Initial Advance; and (v) modification of the covenant requiring Integra to maintain a balance of unrestricted cash no less than $2.0 million to $5.0 million. Integra will also request to draw a second advance on the Convertible Facility in the principal amount of $5.0 million immediately following completion of the Transaction, with a conversion price equal to a 25% premium to the Issue Price.
Beedie Capital has provided their consent to the Transaction pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, subject to, among other things, the satisfaction by Integra (or waiver by Beedie Capital) of certain conditions precedent, including the completion of the Offering in accordance with its respective terms, approval of the TSXV for the revised conversion price of the Initial Advance and the Subsequent Advance (received), and there being no other default or event of default under the Credit Agreement.
Since the amendment of the terms of the Credit Agreement is conditional on the closing of the Transaction, these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the amendment of the terms of the Credit Agreement.
The Transaction closed subsequent to the quarter-end, and as a result, the amendments to the Convertible Facility became effective on November 8, 2024 and the Company drew the second advance in the amount of $5.0 million.
PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the Transaction. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and the historical combined financial statements of Florida Canyon. These historical financial statements have been adjusted as described in the notes to these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.
1.

Under the terms of the Transaction, FCGI shareholders are entitled to receive 0.467 of an Integra share for each Florida Canyon share held. The Transaction closed on November 8, 2024.
The Transaction has been accounted for as a business acquisition as Florida Canyon meets the definition of a business under IFRS 3. Based on the acquisition method of accounting, the consideration paid for Florida Canyon is allocated to its assets and liabilities based on their fair value as of the date of the completion of the Transaction. The purchase price allocation and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of FCGI included in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on preliminary estimates, subject to final adjustments and provided for informational purposes only.

1-A. Mexican Business Unit Carved Out
Florida Canyon has entered into a binding agreement dated July 16, 2024 with Heliostar Metals Ltd. to sell its interests in the San Agustin mine, El Castillo mine, La Colorado mine, Cerro del Gallo project and San Antonio project (collectively the "Mexican Business Unit"). The Mexican Business Unit sale completed prior to the close of the Transaction.
These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements assume that the Mexican Business Unit sale has already closed. As a result, the Mexican Business Unit has been excluded from the results of operations and the assets and liabilities of the Mexican Business Unit (classified as held for sale in FCGI's interim condensed combined financial statements as at June 30, 2024) have been carved-out of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position. In addition, "cash and cash equivalents" includes $5.0 million in expected proceeds for the sale of the Mexican Business Unit. FCGI is entitled to retain the cash generated by the Mexican Business Unit prior to July 11, 2024 and up to $5.2 million in cash flows from the operations of the Mexican Business Unit after July 16, 2024, subject to a minimum of $2.0 million of net working capital being left in the Mexican Business Unit on closing. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not include the estimated cash flows from the operations of the Mexican Business Unit to which FCGI is entitled subsequent to June 30, 2024.
The Business Unit sale was completed on November 7, 2024.
1-B. Promissory Note
FCGI was formed under the Canada Business Corporation Act by way of a statutory amalgamation on July 8, 2024 between Alio Gold Inc., Castle Gold Corporation, Pediment Gold Corp. and San Anton Resource Corporation (the "Merger Subsidiaries"). Prior to the amalgamation, all of the Merger Subsidiaries were wholly owned subsidiaries of Argonaut Gold Inc. ("Argonaut"). On March 27, 2024, Argonaut entered into a definitive arrangement agreement to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of Argonaut to Alamos. Concurrently, FCGI, was spun out to Argonaut's existing shareholders. This transaction was completed on July 12, 2024 and FCGI concurrently underwent a restructuring which resulted in the settlement of the related party receivables and payables, with the exception of $3.0 million in loans receivable. The $3.0 million in loans receivable is payable to FCGI by Argonaut's wholly owned subsidiary, Prodigy Gold Inc. ("Prodigy") For the purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, the settlements resulting from the restructuring have been given effect and the $3.0 million loan receivable from Prodigy has been reclassified to other receivables in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
The payment was received prior to the close of the Transaction.
1-C. Purchase Price Allocation
The fair value of the consideration paid is based on the Integra November 6, 2024 share close price of $1.05 (C$1.47 in Canadian dollars translated to United States dollars at a rate of $0.7176) and the estimated fair value of the replacement options was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
The preliminary purchase price of $68,841,983 has been allocated as follows:
| Fair Value of Consideration Paid | |||
| Common Shares Issued | $ | 67,972,467 | |
| Fair value of RSUs of Florida Canyon converted to Integra Shares | $ | 637,591 | |

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, Expressed in United States dollars)
Management analyzed the accounting treatment of loan amendment in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Management concluded that the original terms and new terms of the convertible debt facility are not "substantially different" and therefore, the loan amendment would be accounted for as a modification and not as an extinguishment. The adjustments to the carrying amount of the financial liability due to the modification is recognized as "Other income (expense)" in the pro forma condensed consolidated statements. The loan amendment accounting assessment and valuation is based on preliminary estimates, subject to final adjustments and provided for informational purposes only.
