(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) Unaudited
1. Corporate information and nature of operations
Pasinex Resources Limited ("Pasinex" or the "Company") is a publicly listed company incorporated in British Columbia. The Company's shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol "PSE" and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ("FSE") under the symbol "PNX". The head office, principal address and registered and records office of the Company are located at 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1P1.
Pasinex Resources Limited owns 50% of Horzum Maden Arama ve Isletme Anonim Sirketi ("Horzum AS" or "Joint Venture"), through its 100% owned subsidiary Pasinex Arama ve Madencilik Anonim Sirketi ("Pasinex Arama"). The other 50% owner is Akmetal Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. ("Akmetal"), a private Turkish company. Horzum AS holds 100% of the producing Pinargozu high-grade zinc mine. Horzum AS sells directly to zinc smelters and or refiners through commodity brokers from its mine site in Türkiye. The Company also holds a 51% interest, with an option to increase to an 80% interest of a high-grade zinc exploration project, the Gunman Project, located in Nevada.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors on July 8, 2024.
The Company has not been materially impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Ukraine, but uncertainty remains surrounding the conflict and the extent and duration of the impacts that it may have on the Company's ability to operate, on prices for zinc, on logistics and supply chains, on the Company's employees and on global financial markets.
2. Basis of presentation and accounting policies
(a) Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") in effect for the fiscal period beginning January 1, 2024.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical basis and compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2023, audited annual consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) Unaudited
2. Basis of presentation and accounting policies (continued)
(b) Principles of consolidation (continued)
Pasinex and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company". All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses from intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
In addition, the Company, through Pasinex Arama, holds a joint venture interest which is equity accounted in the consolidated financial statements, as follows:
Location | Nature of Operation | Interest | ||
2024 | 2023 | |||
Horzum AS | Türkiye | Mining | 50% | 50% |
(c) Basis of measurement and going concern
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and fair value of stock-based compensations which, are measured at their fair value. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars except where otherwise indicated. In addition, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
The application of the going concern concept assumes that the Company will continue in operation for at least the next twelve months and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. As at March 31, 2024, the Company has a deficit of $10,326,318 (December 31, 2023 - $10,612,090) and has a working capital deficiency position of $2,986,005 (December 31, 2023 - working capital deficiency position of $2,645,221). The Company had a net income of $285,772 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with a net loss of $195,583 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and negative cash flows from operations of $180,196 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with positive cash flows from operations of $220,486 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Horzum AS had a net income of $1,242,428 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with a net income of $1,528,961 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Pasinex Arama received approximately TRY
5.3 million (approximately $0.23 million using the exchange rates on the dates of the various transfers from Horzum AS) in advances and other receivable collections from Horzum AS in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with TRY 17.4 million (approximately $1.2 million using the exchange rates on the dates of the various transfers from Horzum AS) in advanced dividend payments from Horzum AS in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Pasinex Arama transferred USD $80,000 (approximately $107,000 using the exchange rates on the dates of the transfers) to Pasinex Canada in the three months ended March 31, 2024.TRY 12.5 million (approximately $0.9 million using the exchange rates on the dates of the transfers) was transferred to Pasinex Canada by Pasinex Arama in the three months ended March 31, 2023.With the reduction of cash inflows to Canada, partially caused by the decrease in the value of the Turkish Lira against the Canadian Dollar, the Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to fund its ongoing activities for the next 12 months nor does the Company have enough cash on hand to repay all of its outstanding obligations. As at March 31, 2024, Horzum AS has a receivable owing from Akmetal of approximately $35.5 million (see note 3(a)).

Legal Actions
The Company provided an update on May 29, 2024, of the status of two separate legal actions initiated by Pasinex Arama. In connection with the annual shareholders meeting of Horzum AS, the Joint Venture made two separate judicial applications.
The first application was before the Republic of Türkiye Adana 3rd Commercial Court (the "3rd Court") seeking the appointment of an interim management trustee committee (the "Interim Committee") as the term for Horzum AS' board of directors (the "Horzum Board") expired on April 30, 2024. Consequently, Horzum AS became unmanaged due to its inability to appoint the new Horzum Board. The 3rd Court accepted the application and appointed the following persons to the Interim Committee, Prof. Dr. Ömer Korkut (Chairman of the Horzum Board), Ahmet Ferit Savaşçı and Ahmet Yüksel.
The 3rd Court further ordered that, inter alia, (a) the Interim Committee is authorized to act solely for the purpose of making the due payments of Horzum AS and the necessary and mandatory payments for Horzum AS' activities; and (b) the validity of all legal transactions (borrowing, promissory note commitment, disposal, etc.) on behalf of Horzum AS requires the signatures of at least two Interim Committee members. The appointment of the Interim Committee is an interim measure until a final decision is made for the appointment of a fully authorized trustee.
The second application was before the Republic of Türkiye Adana 2nd Commercial Court (the "2nd Court") seeking the appointment of a trustee to Horzum AS: (a) with sole signing authority to use all the powers of Horzum AS' executives; (b) determine the agenda for subsequent meeting of Horzum AS's shareholders (the "Shareholders"); and (c) convene a meeting of Shareholders to ensure continuation of Horzum AS' activities. The 2nd Court approved the appointment of the trustee HALİL ALUMERT (30529131992) on June 4, 2024.
In the interim, Horzum AS' continues to operate normally and without disruption. In addition, a legal action in the 2nd Court is on-going by Horzum AS for the recovery of the debt owed by Akmetal. The objective of the legal action by Pasinex and Horzum AS is to recover the debt owed by Akmetal in either assets or cash and to restructure or eliminate the Joint Venture with Pasinex assuming control of the management of the Joint Venture.
Pasinex has engaged the legal services of Denton's Canada LLP in Toronto, Canada and two Canadian partners. Pasinex has also engaged the legal services of HBB Hukuk Burosu in Istanbul, Türkiye and two senior Turkish partners as well as a university legal professor who is the Chair of the Legal Department and founder of OZATA Law & Partners. This legal team has further legal and accounting resources available in both Canada and Türkiye.The legal process is underway and Pasinex remains optimistic that a resolution will result from these legal actions, but assurance of success is not certain.
Horzum AS's operations have generated positive operating income in the first three months of 2024, however in the absence of the receipt of additional dividends from Horzum AS, the Company would need to secure funding from either equity financing or additional related party loans to fund its ongoing activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate either sufficient dividends from Horzum AS or be able to generate funds from other sources.
Accordingly, until Akmetal makes significant payments, these conditions represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to the carrying values of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Investment in Horzum AS
On January 17, 2013, the Company, through its wholly owned Turkish subsidiary, Pasinex Arama, entered into a joint venture agreement with Türkiye based miner, Akmetal, to explore for zinc and other associated commodities in the region between and around Horzum and Tufanbeyli, Adana Province, Türkiye. A joint venture company was formed, Horzum AS, held 50% by each joint venture partner. Horzum AS is controlled by a board consisting of equal representatives of both Pasinex and Akmetal.
In 2013, Horzum AS acquired the Pinargozu mine in Türkiye. The property is located within the Turkish Provinces of Adana and has been in operation since 2016 producing high grade zinc. The investment in Horzum AS is considered a joint venture for accounting purposes and accordingly is accounted for using the equity method. Horzum AS can distribute its profits based on terms under the joint venture agreement, which requires approval from Horzum AS's Board of Directors.
The following table shows the change in the value of the Company's 50% investment in Horzum AS.
