NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Commander Resources Ltd. ("Commander" or the "Company") is a publicly listed company incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "CMD". Commander's records and registered office is at Suite 1100 - 1111 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3V6.
The Company is in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resource properties in Canada and Mexico. Commander pursues the prospect generator model and focuses on building a portfolio of early-stage exploration projects. For the ongoing exploration of the projects, the Company aims to option interests in the projects to joint venture partners.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the "financial statements") have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and meet its obligations in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred ongoing losses and will continue to incur further losses in the course of exploring its mineral properties. As at March 31, 2024, the Company had a deficit of $39,573,507 (December 31, 2023 - $39,366,666) and working capital deficiency of $64,339 (December 31, 2023 - working capital of $117,361).
Commander has historically relied on the issuance of share capital to fund its operations. The Company has been successful in raising equity financing in the past. However, there is no assurance that such financing will continue to be available with acceptable terms under current economic and financial environments. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. - MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Basis of presentation
The Company prepared these financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS").
These financial statements do not include all the information and notes to the annual financial statements as required by IFRS and should be read together with the Company's most recent audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. Additionally, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
Certain comparative balances on the statements of loss and comprehensive loss have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Principles of consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the following wholly owned subsidiaries: - BRZ Mex Holdings Ltd. ("BRZM"); and
- Minera BRG SA de CV ("Minera BRG")
The Company consolidates these subsidiaries on the basis that it controls these subsidiaries. Control is defined as the exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with an investee and the ability to affect those returns through power over the investee. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)
Critical accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that impact the Company's reported financial results. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on historical experiences and expectations of future events. Actual results could result in material differences from those estimates, assumptions, and judgments.
The significant estimates and judgments that affect these financial statements are as follows: Recoverability of exploration and evaluation ("E&E") assets
The Company capitalizes acquisition costs related to E&E assets which comprise staking costs, and option payments, based on the judgment that the carrying amounts will be recoverable. Their recoverability depends on various factors such as the discovery of economically viable reserves, the Company's ability to obtain the financing to continue exploration and development efforts, or from disposition of the E&E assets. If new information becomes available suggesting the recovery of these expenditures is unlikely, the capitalized costs are written-off to profit or loss for the period. Significant judgment is required in assessing indicators of impairment.
Going concern
The Company applies judgment in assessing its ability to continue as a going concern. In making this assessment, the Company considers the facts and circumstances disclosed in Note 1. The Company concludes that there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
New standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued by the IASB and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The standards and amendments to standards that would be applicable to the financial statements of the Company are the following:
IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. This amendment is effective for financial statements beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted.
The Company anticipates that these amendments will not have a material impact on the results and financial position of the Company.

The Company's holdings in marketable securities comprise common shares of publicly traded companies received as option payments on the sale of exploration and evaluation assets. These marketable securities are classified as FVOCI because these investments are not held for trading.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Commander had sold all of its significant holdings in the following companies as follows:
- Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. of 3,625,000 shares were sold for net proceeds of $138,040;
- 3,444,000 shares of Maritime Resources Corp. were sold for net proceeds of $151,920.
4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS AND EXPENDITURES
Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many exploration and evaluation assets. The Company has investigated title to all of its exploration and evaluation assets and, to the best of its knowledge, titles to all of its assets are in good standing.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's cumulative expenditures on the E&E assets were as

- Mount Polley, BC
In October 2019, Commander entered into an option agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Imperial Metals Corporation ("Imperial Metals") granting Imperial the option to earn a 100% interest in certain mineral claims within the Mount Polley copper-gold property. Commander has a 100% interest in the property except for one claim which is 90% owned by Commander and 10% by an arm's length private company.
Total cash consideration comprised $250,000, with 90% to Commander, and 10% to the private company, staged in three payments from 2020 to 2022. In December 2022, Imperial Metals fulfilled the payment term and earned a 100% interest in Mount Polley.
All tenures of Mount Polley were 100% owned by Commander except for one claim, (mineral number 1064105) which was 90% owned by Commander and 10% owned by an arm's length private company. Commander retains a "Production Fee" (royalty) on future production equal to $1.25 per tonne for the material mined from the property and milled in the Mount Polley mineral processing plant.
At any time after earning a 100% interest in Mt Polley, Imperial Metals shall have the right, upon payment of $1,000,000 to Commander, to reduce the Production Fee reserved to Commander to 50% of the Production Fee in effect at the date of the election (the "Reduced Production Fee"). The Production Fee or Reduced Production fee, as the case may be, shall be doubled in any month where the average copper price for that month exceeds a price of $7.00 per pound adjusted for inflation using the Canadian Consumer Price Index as of September 30, 2019 as the base rate. The Production Fee from mineral claim 1064105 shall be split 90% to Commander and 10% to the private company.
