Scorpio Gold Corporation

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Scorpio Gold Corporation (the "Company" or "Scorpio") is a publicly traded company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Company's shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and trade under the symbol SGN. The corporate office of the Company is located at Suite 750 - 1095 West Pender Street Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 2M6. The Company and its subsidiaries conduct mineral exploitation, exploration and development activities in the United States of America ("USA").

The Company suspended mining operations of its Mineral Ridge mine in November 2017 as the Company had mined all of its economical mineral reserves based on gold pricing and heap leach recovery parameters. The Company then generated limited revenues from Mineral Ridge from residual but diminishing gold recoveries from the leach pads. In December 2021, the Company determined that operating the heap leach pads was not economic and so ceased operations at Mineral Ridge (Note 5).

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business in the foreseeable future. As at March 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $6,295,000 (December 31, 2023: deficiency of $5,657,000). Management estimates that these funds will not provide the Company with sufficient financial resources to carry out currently planned operations through the next twelve months. Additional financing will be required by the Company to complete its strategic objectives and continue as a going concern. While the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were approved by the Board of Directors on May 30, 2024.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance to International Financial Reporting Standards

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). These financial statements comply with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

Basis of presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. This interim financial report does not include all of the information required of a full annual financial report and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023.

New accounting standards

There were no new or amended IFRS pronouncements effective January 1, 2024 that impacted these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

3. ACQUISITION OF ALTUS GOLD

On February 23, 2024, Scorpio Gold completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Altus Gold by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Transaction") in which the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, 1455812 B.C. Ltd. ("Subco") amalgamated with Altus Gold to form the entity Scorpio Gold BC Holding Corp. ("Amalco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company issued to the former shareholders of Altus Gold an aggregate of 22,839,611 common shares of the Company in exchange for their common shares of Altus Gold. In addition, 10,523,605 warrants with an exercise price ranging from CA$0.10 to $0.25 issued by Altus (the "Altus Warrants") prior to the Transaction were exchanged for the Company's warrants on a 1:1 basis.

As a result of the Transaction, Amalco now holds an option to acquire a 90% interest in the mineral exploration project in Esmeralda County, Nevada referred to as the Northstar property, adjacent to the Company's Mineral Ridge Project (Note 6).

The bridge loan advanced by Altus Gold to the Company was forgiven by Altus Gold in connection with the Transaction, with no obligation or liability for the Company to convert the bridge loan into common shares of the Company (Note 8). In connection with closing of the Transaction, the Company issued an aggregate of 36,800,000 units in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of CA$5,520,000 (Note 12).

The Transaction has been accounted for by the Company as a purchase of assets and assumption of liabilities. The Transaction did not qualify as a business combination under IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, as the significant inputs, processes and outputs, that together constitute a business, did not exist in Altus Gold at the time of the Transaction.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation:

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) reviewed and revised their estimate of reclamation costs at Mineral Ridge which is used to determine the required surety in place. This revised estimate will require the Company to increase the surety by $3,280,326. The Company is currently negotiating the amount required to be added to the cash collateral with Sompo, the Company's surety partner, to meet NDEP's requirement. The Company is required to have the additional bond in place by no later than July 16, 2024 in order to comply.
