(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

1.Corporate Information

Loncor Gold Inc. (the "Company" or "Loncor") is a corporation governed by the Ontario Business Corporations Act. The principal business of the Company is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 include the accounts of the Company and its (a) 90%-owned subsidiary in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the "Congo"), Loncor Resources Congo SARL, (b) 84.68%-owned subsidiary in the Congo, Adumbi Mining S.A. ("Adumbi"), and (c) 100%-owned subsidiary Kilo Isiro Atlantic Ltd (a British Virgin Islands company). Loncor Resources Congo SARL owns 100% of the shares of Devon Resources SARL (a Congo company) and 100% of the shares of Navarro Resources SARL (a Congo company). Kilo Isiro Atlantic Ltd owns 100% of the shares of Isiro (Jersey) Limited which in turn owns 100% of the shares of KGL Isiro SARL (a Congo company).

In November 2023, Loncor Gold Inc. amalgamated with its wholly-owned Ontario subsidiary Loncor Kilo Inc. which owned directly 84.68% of the outstanding shares of Adumbi.

The Company is a publicly traded company whose outstanding common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the OTCQX market in the United States and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The head office of the Company is located at 4120 Yonge Street, Suite 304 Toronto, Ontario, M2P 2B8, Canada.

2.Basis of Preparation

a)Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' ("IAS 34") using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The disclosure contained in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements does not include all the requirements in IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1"). Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which include information necessary to understand the Company's business and financial statement presentation.

b)Going Concern

The Company incurred a net loss of $574,528 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (three months ended March 31, 2023 - $463,923) and as at March 31, 2024 had working capital of $8,372,155 (December 31, 2023 - working capital of $8,885,586).

The recoverability of the amount shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to continue to perform exploration activity or complete the development of the properties where necessary, or alternatively, upon the Company's ability to recover its incurred costs through a disposition of its interests, all of which are uncertain.

In addition, if the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, then existing security holders will likely experience dilution, and the incurring of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require the Company to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict its operations. Any failure on its part to raise additional funds on terms favourable to the Company or at all, may require the Company to significantly change or curtail its current or planned operations in order to conserve cash until such time, if ever, that sufficient proceeds from operations are generated, and could result in the Company not taking advantage of other available business opportunities.

Loncor Gold Inc.
Notes to The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2024
(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

In the event the Company is unable to identify recoverable resources, receive the necessary permitting, or arrange appropriate financing, the carrying value of the Company's assets and liabilities could be subject to material adjustment. These matters create material uncertainties that cast significant and substantial doubt upon the validity of the going concern assumption.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any additional adjustments to the recoverability and classification of certain recorded asset amounts, classification of certain liabilities and changes to the statements of loss and comprehensive loss that might be necessary if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

c)Basis of measurement

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are presented at fair value. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have also been prepared on an accrual basis, except for cash flow information.

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by all group entities and to all periods presented in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.

a)Basis of Consolidation

i.Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as ability to offset these returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. This control is generally evidenced through owning more than 50% of the voting rights or currently exercisable potential voting rights of a company's share capital. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Consolidation accounting is applied for all of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries (see note 4).

ii.Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Inter-company balances, transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Unrealized gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company's interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

b)Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates

c)New Accounting Standards Adopted

IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements which clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent depends on the rights existing at the end of the reporting period as opposed to the expectations of exercising the right for settlement of the liability. The amendments further clarify that settlement refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. The amendments did not have an impact on the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the comparative period on the date of the adoption.

The Company's exploration and evaluation assets are subject to renewal of the underlying permits and rights and government royalties.

a.North Kivu

The North Kivu project is situated in the North Kivu Province in eastern Congo to the northwest of Lake Edward and consists of various exploration permits. All of these exploration permits are currently under force majeure due to the poor security situation, affecting the Company's ability to carry out the desired exploration activities. The duration of the event of force majeure is added to the time limit for execution of obligations under the permits. Exploration estimates to date have not advanced to the stage of being able to identify the quantity of possible resources available for potential mining. Under force majeure, the Company has no tax payment obligations and does not lose tenure of mining titles until force majeure is lifted. The Company is not able to estimate the time when exploration activities would be resumed.

Loncor Gold Inc.
Notes to The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2024
(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

In December 2023, the Company conducted an impairment analysis whereby the carrying value of the North Kivu properties was fully written off by the amount of $10,621,366. Although the North Kivu permits are still under force majeure, among other relevant considerations under IFRS 6 Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the significant delay and uncertainty relating to resumption of exploration and evaluation activities were the driving factors for the impairment recorded for the North Kivu project as at December 31, 2023.

b.Ngayu

The Ngayu project consisted of various exploration permits covering ground within the Tshopo Province in the northeast of the Congo, approximately 270 kilometers northeast of Kisangani. The Ngayu project covered part of the Ngayu Archaean greenstone belt which is one of a number of greenstone belts in the north-east Congo Archaean craton that includes the Kilo and Moto greenstone belts. These Archaean greenstone belts are the northwestern extensions of the Lake Victoria greenstone belt terrain that hosts a number of world class gold deposits including Geita and Bulyanhulu.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, as a result of the sale of the Makapela property within the Ngayu project for $10,000,000 and the relinquishment of all the remaining Ngayu project properties, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $8,166,464 in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 (See Note 7).

c.Devon

The Devon properties consisted of three (3) exploration permits situated in the province of Haut-Uele in north eastern Congo. The Company determined to not renew these exploration permits upon expiry in September 2023.

d.Navarro

The Navarro properties consisted of six (6) exploration permits situated in the provinces of Ituri and Haut-Uele in north eastern Congo. The Company determined to renew one of these six permits upon expiry in April 2023.

e.Adumbi

The Adumbi properties consist of two (2) mining licenses valid until 2039 and which cover an area of 361 square kilometers within the Ngayu Archaean Greenstone Belt in the Ituri and Haut Uele provinces in northeastern Congo. The two mining licenses (Exploitation permits) are registered in the name of Adumbi, a company incorporated under the laws of the Congo in which the Company holds an 84.68% interest and the minority partners hold 15.32% (including 10% free carried interest owned by the government of the Congo). See Note 4.

Under an agreement signed in April 2010 with the minority partners of Adumbi, the Company finances all activities of Adumbi, until the filing of a bankable feasibility study, by way of loans which bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Within thirty days of the receipt of a bankable feasibility study, the minority partners may collectively elect to exchange their equity participation for either a 2% net smelter royalty, or a 1% net smelter royalty plus an amount equal to 2 Euros per ounce of proven mineral reserves.

The Company has a leasing agreement with Ding Sheng Services S.A.R.L. ("Ding Sheng") that permits Ding Sheng to mine the non-strategic alluvial potential to the south of Adumbi, with a focus on the gravels bordering the Imbo River. As consideration for the award of the lease, Loncor was entitled to a $250,000 non-refundable fee and a further 25% of future revenues generated by Ding Sheng. In 2022, an amount of $750,000 was received which included the $250,000 non-refundable fee and an advance of $500,000 to be applied against future revenues from Ding Sheng. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, under the lease agreement, Loncor's attributable revenues from production were $176,526 (three months ended March 31, 2023 - $973,610 to which the $500,000 advance from prior year was applied).

In May 2020, the Company received a $29,352 (Cdn$40,000) line of credit ("CEBA LOC") with Toronto-Dominion Bank under the Canada Emergency Business Account ("CEBA") program funded by the Government of Canada. The CEBA LOC is non-interest bearing and can be repaid at any time without penalty.

On January 1, 2021, the outstanding balance of the CEBA LOC automatically converted to a 2-year interest free term loan ("CEBA Term Loan"). The CEBA Term Loan may be repaid at any time without notice or the payment of any penalty. If 75% of the CEBA Term Loan is repaid on or before January 18, 2024, the repayment of the remining 25% of such CEBA Term Loan shall be forgiven. The amount of the CEBA Term Loan outstanding on January 19, 2024 shall bear an interest rate of 5% per annum and shall be repayable in full by December 31, 2025.

The Company recorded the CEBA LOC upon initial recognition at its fair value of $24,146 (Cdn$32,906) using an effective interest rate of 3.45%. The difference of $5,206 (Cdn$7,094) between the fair value and the total amount of CEBA LOC received has been recorded as a fair value gain on loans advanced in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. During the period ended March 31, 2024, the CEBA LOC was repaid.

(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts - unaudited)

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 5,400,000 common share purchase warrants in connection with the April and May 2023 private placement financings, with issuance costs of $6,024 (Cdn$8,093). No warrants expired unexercised.

During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company issued 2,825,000 common share purchase warrants and 48,540 finder warrants in connection with the February 2022 private placement financing, with issuance costs of $9,205 (Cdn$11,689), and 3,375,000 common share purchase warrants in connection with the June 2022 private placement financing. In addition, 7,984,241 warrants expired unexercised.

The value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and the assumptions at grant date and period end date were as follows:

(i) Risk-free interest rate: 01.45% - 3.70%, which is based on the Bank of Canada benchmark bonds yield 2 year rate in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturity dates at the estimated term of the warrants

(ii) Expected volatility: 55.23% - 75.03%, which is based on the Company's historical stock prices

(iii) Expected life: 2- year

(iv) Expected dividends: $Nil

d)Loss per share

Basic and diluted loss per share was calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2024 amounting to 153,440,877 (three months ended March 31, 2023 - 147,744,174) common shares. Stock options and warrants were considered anti-dilutive and therefore were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

14.Share-Based Payments

The Company has an incentive Stock Option Plan under which non-transferable options to purchase common shares of the Company may be granted to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option, and the exercise of the options granted is not dependent on any performance-based criteria. In accordance with these programs, options are exercisable at a price not less than the last closing price of the shares at the grant date.

Under this Stock Option Plan, unless otherwise determined by the board at the time of the granting of the options, 25% of the options granted vest on each of the 6 month, 12 month, 18 month and 24 month anniversaries of the grant date. As per the determination of the board, (a) the stock options granted on June 24, 2019, December 6, 2019, January 14, 2020, March 15, 2021, September 3, 2021, September 29, 2021, March 14, 2022, June 14, 2022, May 29, 2023, July 7, 2023, and certain stock options granted on September 15, 2020 and February 8, 2024 fully vested on the 4 month anniversary of the grant date, and (b) 50% of the stock granted on April 15, 2022 vested on the grant date and the remaining 50% of such stock options vested on the 5 month anniversary of the grant date, (c) 50,000 of the stock options granted on February 8, 2024 vested on the 6 month anniversary date and another 50,000 of the stock options granted on February 8, 2024 vested on the 12 month anniversary of the grant date, and (d) other stock options granted on September 15, 2020 and all of the stock options granted October 1, 2021 vested on the grant date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $7,502 representing the vesting of fair value at the date of grant of stock options previously granted to consultants, which was recorded under consulting, management and professional fees in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss (three months ended March 31, 2023 - $nil). In addition, an amount of $7,948 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (three months ended March 31, 2023 - $nil) related to stock options issued to employees of the Company's subsidiary in the Congo was capitalized to exploration and evaluation asset.

The value of the options was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and the assumptions at grant date and period end date were as follows:

(i)Risk-free interest rate: 0.26% - 4.45%, which is based on the Bank of Canada benchmark bonds yield 2 to 3 year rate in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturity dates at the estimated term of the options

(ii)Expected volatility: 55.18% - 101.24%, which is based on the Company's historical stock prices

(iii)Expected life: 0.5 - 5 years

15.Lease obligations

The Company has a lease agreement for the head office location in Toronto, Canada with a monthly basic rent obligation of approximately $4,079 (Cdn $5,525) starting March 1, 2023 for a 3 year term.

On March 1, 2023, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability of $246,809 (Cdn $335,068) for its office lease agreement. The right-of-use asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

16.Financial risk management objectives and policies

a)Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The consolidated statements of financial position carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, advances receivable and prepaid expenses, amounts due to/from related parties, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the employee retention allowance approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Fair value hierarchy

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices);

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 during the reporting period. Cash and cash equivalents are ranked Level 1 as the market value is readily observable. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value, as maturities are less than three months.

b)Risk Management Policies

The Company is sensitive to changes in commodity prices and foreign-exchange. The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. Although the Company has the ability to address its price-related exposures through the use of options, futures and forward contracts, it does not generally enter into such arrangements.

c)Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the United States dollar and Canadian dollar or other foreign currencies will affect the Company's operations and financial results. A portion of the Company's transactions are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company is also exposed to the impact of currency fluctuations on its monetary assets and liabilities. Significant foreign exchange gains or losses are reflected as a separate item in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

The following table indicates the impact of foreign currency exchange risk on net working capital as at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The table below provides a sensitivity analysis of a 10 percent strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar which would have increased (decreased) the Company's net loss by the amounts shown in the table below. A 10 percent weakening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would have had the equal but opposite effect as at March 31, 2024 and December 2023.

Total foreign currency financial assets and liabilities in US $ 83,475 190,328
Impact of a 10% strengthening of the US $ on net loss 8,348 19,033

d)Credit Risk

Financial instruments which are potentially subject to credit risk for the Company consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and advances receivable and prepaid expenses. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions of reputable credit and may be redeemed upon demand. It is therefore the Company's opinion that such credit risk is subject to normal industry risks and is considered minimal. The credit risk of advances receivable and prepaid expenses is, in management opinion, normal given ongoing relationships with those debtors.

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on any investments by investing only in securities rated R1 (the highest rating) by credit rating agencies such as the DBRS (Dominion Bond Rating Service). Management continuously monitors the fair value of any investments to determine potential credit exposures. Short-term excess cash is invested in R1 rated investments including money market funds and other highly rated short-term investment instruments. Any credit risk exposure on cash balances is considered negligible as the Company places deposits only with major established banks in the countries in which it carries on operations.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company's gross credit exposure at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was as follows:

March 31,
2024
December 31,
2023
Cash and cash equivalents $ 56,256 $ 639,680
Advances receivable and prepaid expenses $ 529,373 $ 408,729
$ 585,629 $ 1,048,409

e) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company attempts to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they are due and manages this risk by regularly evaluating its liquid financial resources to fund current and long-term obligations and to meet its capital commitments in a cost-effective manner. Temporary surplus funds of the Company are invested in short-term investments. The Company arranges the portfolio so that securities mature approximately when funds are needed. The key to success in managing liquidity is the degree of certainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases. The Company's liquidity requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash and cash equivalents and equity capital markets. All financial obligations of the Company including accounts payable of $570,147, accrued liabilities of $336,397, employee retention allowance of $173,040, lease obligation of $82,362, and short term loans of $119,958 are due within one year.

f)Mineral Property Risk

The Company's operations in the Congo are exposed to various levels of political risk and uncertainties, including political and economic instability, government regulations relating to exploration and mining, military repression and civil disorder, all or any of which may have a material adverse impact on the Company's activities or may result in impairment in or loss of part or all of the Company's assets.

g)Capital Management

The Company manages its common shares, warrants and stock options as capital. The Company's policy is to maintain sufficient capital base in order to meet its short term obligations and at the same time preserve investors' confidence required to sustain future development of the business.

March 31,

Deficit $ (91,703,456 ) $ (91,128,928 )
