New Found Gold Corp.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars Unless Otherwise Noted)

 

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

New Found Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 6, 2016, under the Business Corporations Act in the Province of Ontario. On September 23, 2020, the Company continued as a British Columbia corporation under the Business Corporations Act in the Province of British Columbia. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 3500, The Stack, 1133 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4E5.

 

The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of resource properties with a focus on gold properties located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The Company’s exploration and evaluation assets presently have no proven or probable reserves. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves or the Company’s ability to recover the value of exploration and evaluation assets through their sale, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production.

 

These condensed interim financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis and do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue operations. Such adjustments could be material. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to develop profitable operations or to continue to raise adequate financing. As at September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $342,209,869 and shareholders’ equity of $101,331,193. In addition, the Company has a working capital surplus, calculated as current assets less current liabilities, of $56,335,255, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $34,713,701 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

Management is actively targeting sources of additional financing including through the issuance of shares, which would assure continuation of the Company’s operations and exploration programs. In order for the Company to meet its liabilities as they come due and to continue its operations, the Company is solely dependent upon its ability to generate such financing. Although the Company has been successful in the past in generating financing, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. These items give rise to material uncertainties that cast significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

These condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 6, 2025.

 

2.MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

 

a)Statement of compliance

 

The Company’s condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as applicable to interim financial reports including International Accounting Standards 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars Unless Otherwise Noted)

 

2.MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)

 

a)Statement of compliance (continued)

 

These condensed interim 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

 

The policies applied in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the most recent annual financial statements and were consistently applied to all the periods presented.

 

b)Basis of presentation

 

These condensed interim financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as subsequently measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

 

Certain comparative figures on the income statement, cash flow statement and in Note 3 have been aggregated to conform to the current year presentation.

 

c)Significant accounting estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

 

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the Company applied the critical judgments and estimates disclosed in Note 2 of its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

d)Initial application of standards, interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations in the reporting period

 

The IASB issued certain new accounting standards or amendments that are mandatory for accounting periods on or after January 1, 2025. The effect of such new accounting standards or amendments did not have a material impact on the Company and therefore the Company did not record any adjustments to the financial statements.

 

e)New and amended IFRS standards not yet effective

 

Certain new accounting standards or interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. These standards and interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, except for IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”.

 

IFRS 18 includes requirements for all entities applying IFRS for the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements and has an effective date of January 1, 2027. The effects of the adoption of IFRS 18 on the Company’s financial statements have not yet been determined.

3.EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

 

(i)Queensway Project – Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador

 

As at September 30, 2025, the Company owned a 100% interest in 98 (December 31, 2024 – 103) mineral licenses including 7,018 claims (December 31, 2024 – 7,024 claims) comprising 175,450 hectares of land (December 31, 2024 – 175,600) located near Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. The project rights were acquired by map staking mineral licenses and making staged payments in cash and common shares of the Company from 2016 through 2022 under ten separate option agreements, of which nine are completed.

 

On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into the VOA Option Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in five mineral licenses located in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. Under the terms of the VOA Option Agreement, the Company may exercise the option by issuing an aggregate of 487,078 common shares in the capital of the Company and making aggregate cash payments of $2,350,000 to the optionors as follows:

 

·$200,000 (paid) and 39,762 common shares (issued) on the later of (i) staking confirmation date as defined in the Option Agreement and (ii) the receipt of the TSX Venture Exchange’s approval;

·$200,000 (paid) and 39,762 common shares on or before November 2, 2023 (issued);

·$250,000 (paid) and 69,583 common shares on or before November 2, 2024 (issued);

·$800,000 and 119,284 common shares on or before November 2, 2027.

 

The Queensway Project carries various net smelter return (“NSR”) royalties ranging from 0.4% to 3.00%, many of which include buy-back provisions that allow the Company, at its option, to reduce the NSR by making lump-sum payments ranging from $250,000 to $1,000,000 to the holders of the royalties.

 

On July 29, 2024, the Company entered into three royalty purchase agreements (the “Royalty Purchase Agreements”) with arm’s length royalty holders (together, the “Vendors” and each, a “Vendor”) to purchase part of each Vendor’s royalty interest in aggregate, 0.6% of the Vendors’ 1.6% net smelter returns royalty underlying several zones at the Company’s Queensway project (the “Royalty Interests”). The transaction closed on August 8, 2024. Pursuant to the transaction, the Company paid aggregate cash consideration of $1,950,000 and aggregate share consideration of 300,000 common shares with a combined value of $1,011,000 to the Vendors (Note 10). The Company paid $63,620 in professional fees in connection with the royalty purchases.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company purchased the remaining 1.0% net smelter returns royalty from the Vendors for $1,000,000 in aggregate in cash, of which $666,667 was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company also paid $16,225 in professional fees in connection with the purchase.

6.INVESTMENT IN KIRKLAND LAKE DISCOVERIES CORP.

 

The investment in Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. (“KLDC”) represents 24.67% (December 31, 2024 - 25.91%) of the issued and outstanding common shares of KLDC at September 30, 2025. KLDC and the Company had a director and officer in common up until December 16, 2024, being Denis Laviolette, former Director and President of the Company. Based on assessments of the relevant facts and circumstances, primarily, the Company's ownership interests, board representation and ability to influence operating, strategic and financing decisions, the Company concluded that it continues to have significant influence over KLDC, and as a result has accounted for it as an investment in an associate since the acquisition of its ownership interest on May 25, 2023.

 

The following tables illustrate the summarised financial information of the Company’s investment in KLDC as at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 on a 100% basis and reflecting adjustments made by the Company, including fair value adjustments made at the time of acquisition and adjustments for differences due to accounting policies:

The Company performs an impairment indicator assessment on its investment in KLDC at each period end. The assessment is based on the review of recent share price history, industry statistics and assessment of the current market conditions. At December 31, 2024, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company’s investment in KLDC. The Company had previously recognized an impairment loss of $1,000,237 on its equity investment in Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. during the year ended December 31, 2023. This impairment loss was reversed at September 30, 2025 due to a significant increase in stock price of Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

 

The following table illustrates the movement in investment in associate for the period from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2025:

Reversal of impairment from equity investment   1,000,237 
Net carrying amount – September 30, 2025  $2,322,095 

 

The estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in KLDC is $10,040,126 as at September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $1,287,563) based on the quoted market price of its common shares on the TSX Venture exchange.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2025, the Company’s ownership interest was further diluted and it lost significant influence over KLDC.

 

7.             SECURED NOTES

 

On August 14, 2023, the Company participated in a brokered note offering completed by Maritime Resources Corp. (“Maritime”) consisting of the issuance of non-convertible senior secured notes (the “Notes”) and common share purchase warrants. The Notes had a maturity date of August 14, 2025 (the “Initial Maturity Date”). The Notes bore interest at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 6% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.

 

Based on the business model in which the secured notes are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows, the secured notes were classified as a financial instrument at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL") in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”.

 

The issuance of the Notes included a 40% warrant coverage resulting in the Company receiving 15,324,571 warrants (“Warrants”). These warrants were classified by the Company as investments at FVTPL (Note 5).

 

The Company allocated the gross investment of $2,638,500 (US$1,960,000) to the Notes and warrants based on their respective fair values at initial recognition. At the time of issuance, the fair value of the Notes was $2,464,000 (US$1,830,300) and the fair value of the warrants was $174,500 (US$129,700).

As at September 30, 2025, the Company has a share purchase option plan (the “Option Plan”) approved by the Company’s shareholders that allows it to grant share purchase options, subject to regulatory and corporate approval, to its officers, directors, employees and service providers. The Option Plan is based on the maximum number of eligible shares not exceeding 10% in the aggregate and 5% with respect to any one optionee of the Company’s outstanding common shares in any twelve-month period. If outstanding share purchase options are exercised or expire, and/or the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company increases, then the share purchase options available to grant under the Option Plan increase proportionately. The exercise price and vesting terms of each share purchase option is set by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. Share purchase options granted may be subject to a four-month hold period and exercisable for a period determined by the Board of Directors which cannot exceed ten years.

 

Share Unit Compensation Plan

 

The Company adopted a share unit plan (the “Share Unit Plan”). Under the Share Unit Plan, the Company may grant incentive awards (the “Awards”) consisting of restricted share units (“RSUs”), deferred share units (“DSUs”), and performance share units (“PSUs”), subject to regulatory and corporate approvals, to its officers, directors, employees and service providers (the “Participants”). The Share Unit Plan, in conjunction with the Option Plan, cannot exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The terms of the Awards are set by the Board of Directors at the time of grant.

14.          SETTLEMENT OF LEGAL CLAIM (continued)

 

On March 10, 2020, ThreeD Capital Inc. and 131 filed a statement of claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Collin Kettell, Palisades and the Company (the “Defendants” and the “ThreeD Claim”). Pursuant to the ThreeD Claim, the Plaintiffs are challenging the validity of the sale of 17,500,000 common shares by the Plaintiffs to Palisades on November 20, 2019. ThreeD and 131 claim that at the time of negotiation and execution of the Share Purchase Agreements, Palisades and Mr. Kettell were aware of positive drill results from the Company’s 2019 Drill Program and the results were not disclosed to ThreeD and 131 to their detriment. Palisades and Mr. Kettell strongly deny ThreeD and 131’s allegations.

 

On June 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which the Plaintiffs received a total of 3,750,000 common shares of the Company from the Defendants. Palisades transferred 2,607,434 common shares of the Company to ThreeD and 772,566 common shares of the Company to 131. The Company issued 285,429 common shares to ThreeD and 84,571 common shares to 131 with a total value of $1,750,100 recorded in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Settlement Agreement resolves the lawsuit completely, does not include any admission of liability and provides for fulsome releases by the Plaintiffs to the Defendants.

 

15.          FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

a) Fair Values

 

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are recognized according to a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
     
  Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value are its investments, which includes equities, warrants and Notes held. The fair value of equities held is determined using closing prices at the statement of financial position date with any unrealized gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The Company’s equities that are subject to non-standard restrictions, warrants and Notes are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Warrants are not traded on an active exchange and are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions including risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected remaining life of the warrant which are supported by observable market conditions. The Notes are not traded on an active exchange and are valued using the Hull-White valuation model using assumptions including coupon rate, credit spread, mean reversion, rate volatility, riskless rate curve and redemption prices.

 

The carrying values of other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, deposits, amounts receivable, interest receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and lease liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

(b) Financial Instrument Risk Exposure

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss.

 

Sales taxes recoverable are due from the Canada Revenue Agency and the Company places its cash with financial institutions with high credit ratings, therefore in management’s judgment, credit risk related to sales taxes recoverable and cash is low.

 

There have been no changes in management’s methods for managing credit risk since December 31, 2024.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company has historically relied on the issuance of shares to fund exploration programs and may require doing so again in the future. As at September 30, 2025, the Company has total liabilities of $18,614,380 and cash and cash equivalents of $71,136,121 which is available to discharge these liabilities (December 31, 2024 – total liabilities of $7,448,306 and cash of $22,317,548).

 

There have been no changes in management’s methods for managing liquidity risk since December 31, 2024.

 

Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates will affect the Company’s net earnings or the value of financial instruments. The objective of the Company is to manage and mitigate market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

15.          FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

(b) Financial Instrument Risk Exposure (continued)

 

(i)Currency risk

 

Financial instruments that impact the Company’s net earnings or other comprehensive income due to currency fluctuation include cash accounts and accounts payable denominated in US dollars. The sensitivity of the Company’s net loss to changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar at September 30, 2025 would change the Company’s net loss by $48,800 (December 31, 2024 - $322,434) as a result of a 10% change in the exchange rate.

 

(ii)Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As the Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents into demand accounts with minimal interest rates, interest rate risk is not significant.

 

(iii)Commodity price risk

 

Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company’s property has exposure to predominantly gold. Commodity prices, especially gold, greatly affect the value of the Company and the potential value of its property and investments.

 

(iv)Equity price risk

 

Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of or future cash flows from the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company is exposed to market risk in trading its investments in unfavorable market conditions which could result in dispositions of investments at less than favorable prices. Additionally, the Company adjusts its investments to fair value at the end of each reporting period. This process could result in write-downs of the Company’s investments over one or more reporting periods, particularly during periods of overall market instability.

 

The sensitivity of the Company’s net loss to changes in market prices at September 30, 2025 would change the Company’s net loss by $54,100 (December 31, 2024 - $92,602) as a result of a 10% change in the market price of its investments.

 

There have been no changes in management’s methods for managing market risks since December 31, 2024.
