NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Athena Gold Corporation ("we," "our," "us," or "Athena") was incorporated in Delaware on December 23, 2003. On October 31, 2024, the board of directors determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to change the corporate jurisdiction from the State of Delaware to the Province of British Columbia, Canada by means of a process called a "merger" under the Delaware General Corporation Law and a "continuation" followed by an amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). On March 27, 2025 the shareholders of the Company approved the redomestication of the Company in the Province of British Columbia, Canada by merger into a British Columbia corporation. The Company's head office is at Suite 204, 1497 Martin St, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada V4B3W8.

The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") trading under the symbol "ATHA" and is co-listed on the United States ("US") OTCQB trading under the symbol "AHNRF". After the shareholder approval of the redomestication, the Company became a foreign private issuer as it is incorporated outside of the United States. The Company will file an annual Form 20-F instead of a Form 10-K, and quarterly Form 6-K instead of a 10-Q. Additionally, the Company will report financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Accounting Standards.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. The Company's properties do not have any reserves. The Company plans to conduct exploration programs on these properties with the objective of ascertaining whether any of its properties contain economic concentrations of precious and base metals that are prospective for mining.

Since the formation of the Company, it has not generated any revenue. As an early-stage company, the Company is subject to all the risks inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, complications and delays inherent in a new business. Our business is dependent upon the implementation of our business plan. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to generate revenue or attain profitability.

Natural resource exploration, and exploring for gold, is a business that by its nature is very speculative. There is a strong possibility that we will not discover gold or any other mineralization which can be mined or extracted at a profit. Even if we do discover gold or other deposits, the deposit may not be of the quality or size necessary for us or a potential purchaser of the property to make a profit from mining it. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Unusual or unexpected geological formations, geological formation pressures, fires, power outages, labor disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides, and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor are just some of the many risks involved in mineral exploration programs and the subsequent development of gold deposits.

The Company business is exploring for gold and other minerals. If the Company discovers commercially exploitable gold or other deposits, revenue from such discoveries will not be generated unless the gold or other minerals are mined.

Mining operations in the United States are subject to many different federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including stringent environmental, health and safety laws. In the event operational responsibility is assumed for mining our properties, the Company may be unable to comply with current or future laws and regulations, which can change at any time. Changes to these laws may adversely affect any of the Company potential mining operations. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays and require capital outlays greater than those the Company anticipates, adversely affecting any potential mining operations. Future mining operations, if any, may also be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damage. The Company may choose not to be insured against this risk because of high insurance costs or other reasons.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars - unaudited)

As at June 30, 2025, the Company has a working capital of approximately $1,000,000. The ability of the Company to meet its obligations and continue operations is dependent on its ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital on terms advantageous to the Company, or at all.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

These financial statements were approved by the Company's Board of Directors and authorized for issuance on August 29, 2025.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Accounting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These financial statements do not include all disclosures required for annual audited financial statements.

Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value as described herein.

Presentation and functional currency

Comprehensive income

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported a net loss of $636,942and a net income of $612,748, respectively. In connection with the adoption of IFRS Accounting Standards, the Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by $424. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company's net income increased by $28,567.

The Company's cash flows were unaffected.

NOTE 3 - MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions in the United States and Canada. On June 30, 2025, the Company's cash balance was approximately $550,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company will evaluate, as needed, the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars - unaudited)

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $473,670(CAD$650,100) (December 31, 2024 - $nil) of unspent flow-through expenditure commitments, which is required to be spent by December 31, 2026.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company is exposed to currency risk on transactions and balances in currencies other than the functional currency. The Company has not entered any contracts to manage foreign exchange risk. The Company does not consider the currency risk to be material to the future operations of the Company and, as such, does not have a program to manage currency risk.

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the functional currency at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period end exchange rates. Non-monetary items are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from translation are presented in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Mineral Property Acquisition and Exploration Costs

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred until economic reserves are quantified. To date, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties. Costs of lease, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. The Company has chosen to expense all mineral exploration costs as incurred given that it is still in the exploration stage. Once the Company has identified proven and probable reserves in its investigation of its properties and upon development of a plan for operating a mine, it would enter the development stage and capitalize future costs until production is established. When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized over the estimated life of the probable-proven reserves. When the Company has capitalized mineral properties, these properties will be periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value. To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of any exploration prospects; therefore, all exploration costs are being expensed. Costs of mineral property acquisitions are being capitalized.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets

On initial recognition, financial assets are recognized at fair value and are subsequently classified and measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), or fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets are measured at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition except for financial assets at FVTPL where transaction costs are expensed. All financial assets not classified and measured at amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income. The classification determines the method by which the financial assets are carried on the consolidated statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars - unaudited)

Financial assets are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date. Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire. On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss.

The Company has no financial assets measured at FVOCI. The Company's financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost consist of cash and cash equivalents and deposits. The Company's financial assets classified as FVTPL consist of investment in securities.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost, unless designated FVTPL. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method. The classification determines the method by which the financial liabilities are carried on the consolidated statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded.

Financial liabilities are derecognized only when the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

The Company's financial liabilities classified and measured at amortized cost consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the Company's financial liabilities measured at FVTPL consist of warrant and option liability.

Income Taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the country where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax

Deferred taxes are recognized in respect of temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. The Company has not recognized any deferred tax assets for the years presented.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars - unaudited)

Impairment of Non-financial Assets

The carrying amount of the Company's assets is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of any impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of an asset's fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous periods.

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company adopts a stock option plan in which the Company grants stock options to directors, employees, and consultants as compensation for service provided. The fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to share-based management and consulting fees over the vesting period, with the offset recorded to reserve. The amount recognized as share-based management and consulting fees is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service conditions are expected to be met such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service conditions at the vesting date. When an optionee ceases to meet service conditions, the options granted are forfeited and the cumulative expense recognized to the date of termination is reversed. Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is charged through profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.

When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of the Black Scholes valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioral considerations.

All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in reserve for share-based payments, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from the treasury and the amount reflected in reserve for share-based payments is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid. Upon expiry, the fair value of unexercised options is retained in the reserve.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars - unaudited)

Share capital

Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company's common shares and stock options are classified as equity instruments.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity instruments issued to agents as financing costs are measured at their fair value at the date the services were provided.

Valuation of equity units issued in private placements.

The Company allocates the proceeds from the issuance of units between common shares and share purchase warrants on a pro-rata basis based on the relative fair values at the date of issuance. The fair value of the common shares is based on the market closing price on the date the units are issued and the fair value of the share purchase warrants (classified as liabilities - see below) is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model ("BSM") as of the date of issuance.

Any value attributed to the warrants is recorded to reserves. Upon exercise, the fair value is reallocated from reserves to issued share capital along with the associated proceeds from exercise.

Share purchase warrants

Share purchase warrants that are not classified as share-based payments are classified as a derivative liability under the principles of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. As the exercise price of the share purchase warrant is fixed in Canadian dollars and the functional currency of the Company is the US dollar, the share purchase warrants are considered a derivative liability in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation as a variable amount of cash in the Company's functional currency will be received upon exercise.

These types of share purchase warrants are recognized at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share purchase warrants are initially recorded as a liability at fair value with any subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Upon exercise of the share purchase warrants with exercise prices in a currency other than the Company's functional currency, the share purchase warrants are revalued at the date of exercise with any gain or loss being charged to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss, and the total fair value of the exercised share purchase warrants is reallocated to equity. The proceeds generated from the payment of the exercise price are also allocated to equity.

Investment in securities

We have concluded that the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of its investee. The Company's investment in securities is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the year. For all periods presented, the net loss available to common shareholders equals the reported loss. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. In the Company's case, when a loss is incurred during the year, diluted and basic loss per share are the same because the effect on loss per share of potential issuance of shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Related party transactions

Parties are considered related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are considered related if they are subject to common control or significant influence. A transaction is considered a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. The Company's operating segments are components of the Company's business for which discrete financial information is available and which are reviewed regularly by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who has been designated as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures. The amendments enhance disclosures of significant segment expenses by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM), extend certain annual disclosures to interim periods, and permit more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions. The amendments are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption of the amendment is permitted, including adoption in any interim periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective as of December 31, 2024, and the segment disclosures in Note 8 are reflective of that adoption.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

IFRS Accounting Standards pronouncements not yet adopted

The following pronouncements have been issued but are not yet effective:

On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and also applies to comparative information. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1; many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but it may change what an entity reports as its 'operating profit or loss'. Key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: (i) the structure of the statement of profit or loss; (ii) required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements (that is, management-defined performance measures); and (iii) enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. The Company is currently assessing the effects of IFRS 18 on the financial statements.

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). These amendments updated classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the 'solely payments of principal and interest' criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features. The IASB added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 with early application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect of these amendments on the financial statements.

NOTE 4 - CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTIES

The preparation of the Company's financial statements and applying its accounting policies requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, the accompanying disclosures, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods as revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

The judgements, key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

Share-based compensation

The fair value of share-based compensation in stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The main assumptions used in the model include the estimated life of the option, the expected volatility of the Company's share price, and the risk-free rate of interest. The resulting value calculated is not necessarily the value that the holder of the option could receive in an arm's-length transaction.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars - unaudited)

Impairment of mineral properties

Management applies significant judgment in its assessment of mineral properties and whether there are any indications of impairment. The Company considers both internal and external sources of information when making the impairment assessment. External sources of information considered are changes in the Company's economic, legal and regulatory environment, which it does not control, but affects the recoverability of its mining assets. Internal sources of information the Company considers include the manner in which mining properties are expected to be used and indications of economic performance.

Warrant and option liability

The fair value of the warrant and option liability is calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The main assumptions used in the model include the estimated life of the warrant and option, the expected volatility of the Company's share price, and the risk-free rate of interest. The resulting value calculated is not necessarily the value that the holder of the warrant or option could receive in an arm's-length transaction.

NOTE 5 - MINERAL RIGHTS

Excelsior Springs

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of Nubian USA from Carlton Precious Inc. (formerly Nubian Resources Ltd.) (the "Seller"). Nubian USA holds full ownership of the mining claims comprising the Excelsior Springs Prospect (the "Property") located in Esmerelda County, Nevada.

The Seller retained a 1% Net Smelter Returns Royalty on the claims it sold to the Company. One-half (0.5%) of the NSR Royalty may be purchased by the Company for CAD $500,000 payable to the Seller. An additional one-half (0.5%) of the NSR Royalty may be purchased by the Company at fair market value.

On June 9, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an undivided 100% interest in the Fortunatus and Prout patented lode mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada as part of the Excelsior Springs Project for consideration of $185,000. The Agreement was completed in July 2022.

On June 1, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Silver Reserve Corp. to acquire an 100% interest in 11 unpatented Bureau of Land Management (BLM) claims covering approximately 220 acres known as the Blue Dick Mine and related mineral claims, together with certain technical data relating to the mining claims. Total consideration paid was $45,000and a 3% NSR.

Crow Springs

The Company entered into a memorandum of understanding in April 2022 to acquire seven unpatented mining claims and subsequently staked ten additional unpatented mining claims for a total of 17 claims in the Crow Springs Mining District located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. See Note 12 Subsequent Events for additional information.

Oneman Lake and Laird Lake Projects

Effective October 1, 2024, Athena entered into a definitive agreement to acquire two early exploration stage projects located in Ontario Canada under the following terms:

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, Athena Gold acquired up to a 100% interest in two mining properties, consisting of 218 mining claims covering approximately 4,736 hectares (the "Properties"). The Properties are comprised of two projects: one known as the Oneman Lake Project located near Kenora, Ontario and the other known as the Laird Lake Project in Red Lake, Ontario. Pursuant to an option agreement dated August 19, 2024, with Bounty Gold Corp. ("Bounty Gold"). The Properties were acquired from Libra Lithium Corp. which earned 100% ownership of the Oneman Lake Project and had the exclusive option to acquire the Laird Lake Project (the "Option") subject to certain terms and conditions. Bounty Gold has consented to the transfer of the Properties from Libra Lithium Corp. to Athena Gold.

All parties to this transaction are arm's length.

As consideration of the Properties, Athena Gold issued 43,865,217common shares in the capital of Athena Gold's wholly owned subsidiary, Nova Athena Gold Corp. to Libra, at a value of $Nil. The value of the transaction was determined by reference to the fair value of Nova's common shares; these shares do not trade publicly and therefore were determined based on Level 3 inputs.

Athena Gold has assumed all obligations of the Option to Bounty Gold to acquire the Laird Lake Project in consideration of the following cash payments and share issuances over the course of five years (which may be accelerated at Athena Gold's option):

	a.	payment of CAD $50,000in cash on or before August 19, 2025, of which up to 50% of such payment may be made in the form of common shares in the capital of Athena Gold;
	b.	payment of CAD $50,000in cash on or before the August 19, 2026, of which up to 50% of such payment may be made in the form of common shares in the capital of Athena Gold;
	c.	payment of CAD $50,000in cash on or before August 19, 2027, of which up to 50% of such payment may be made in the form of common shares in the capital of Athena Gold;
	d.	payment of CAD $50,000in cash on or before August 19, 2028, of which up to 50% of such payment may be made in the form of common shares in the capital of Athena Gold; and
	e.	payment of CAD $1,000,000in cash on or before August 19, 2029, or alternatively

	i.	payment of 75% in cash and the issuance of common shares in the capital of Athena Gold equal to 25% of the payment, for a total payment of CAD $1,250,000;
	ii.	payment of 50% in cash and the issuance of common shares in the capital of Athena Gold equal to 50% of the payment, for a total payment of CAD $1,500,000; or
	iii.	payment of 25% in cash and the issuance of common shares in the capital of Athena Gold equal to 75% of the payment, for a total payment of CAD $1,750,000.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars - unaudited)

In the event that Athena Gold pays any of the payments to Bounty Gold in the form of both cash and common shares, the price per share will be determined with the number of shares being based on a per share deemed issue price equal to the 30-day VWAP of the shares for the period of any 20 consecutive trading days on the Canadian Securities Exchange ending on the date that is three business days prior to the date of issuance of the additional common shares.

Upon completion of the above obligations by Athena Gold, Bounty Gold will retain a 2% NSR on the Properties, of which 1% may be purchased by Athena Gold for CAD $1,000,000 at any time.

See Note 12 Subsequent Events for additional information.

NOTE 6 - WARRANT AND OPTION LIABILITY

The Company has issued warrants which have an exercise price denominated in Canadian dollars while the Company's functional currency is US dollars. Accordingly, these warrants are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The classification of each measurement within this hierarchy is based on the lowest-level significant input used in valuation. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly

Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data

The fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, advanced deposits, and note payable approximate their carrying values due to their short term to maturity. The investment in securities is recorded at the fair value through profit and loss using Level 1 inputs.

The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value through profit and loss using level 3 inputs (Note 3). During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers between categories in the fair value hierarchy.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars - unaudited)

The Company's financial instruments are exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes as follows:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty fails to meet an obligation under contract. Credit risk exposure arises with respect to the Company's cash and cash equivalents, including cash and a guaranteed investment certificate held in a financial institution, and deposits. The risk exposure is limited because the Company places its cash and cash equivalents in institutions of high credit worthiness within Canada and the United States. The Company's investment in securities is exposed to credit risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not hold any financial instruments with variable interest rates, other than cash equivalents and, therefore, is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. As the Company's operations do not generate cash, financial liabilities are discharged using funding through the issuance of common shares or debt as required. As at June 30, 2025, the Company had sufficient cash on hand to discharge its financial liabilities as they become due but will require additional funding to continue operations.

Commodity price risk

The Company's ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of gold. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in its functional currency. The Company does not manage currency risk through hedging or other currency management tools. At June 30, 2025, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its warrant liability and certain payables. The Company does not consider exposure to foreign exchange risk to be material.

Business Overview

Athena Gold Corporation ("we," "our," "us," or "Athena") is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We were incorporated in Delaware on December 23, 2003, and began our mining operations in 2010. On October 31, 2024, the board of directors determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to change the corporate jurisdiction from the State of Delaware to the Province of British Columbia, Canada by means of a process called a "merger" under the Delaware General Corporation Law and a "continuation" followed by an amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). On March 27, 2025 the shareholders of the Company approved the redomestication of the Company in the Province of British Columbia, Canada by merger into a British Columbia corporation. The Company's head office is at Suite 204, 1497 Martin St, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada V4B3W8.

The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") trading under the symbol "ATHA" and is co-listed on the United States ("US") OTCQB trading under the symbol "AHNRF". After the shareholder approval of the redomestication, the Company became a foreign private issuer as it is incorporated outside of the United States. The Company will file an annual Form 20-F instead of a Form 10-K, and quarterly Form 6-K instead of a 10-Q. Additionally, the Company will report financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Accounting Standards.

The Company's properties do not have any reserves. The Company plans to conduct exploration programs on these properties with the objective of ascertaining whether any of its properties contain economic concentrations of precious and base metals that are prospective for mining.

	·	Legal and other professional fees increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to prior year, due to the costs associated with the re-domestication of the Company from the state of Delaware to the Province of British Columbia, by merger into its British Columbia subsidiary, Nova Athena Gold Corp. Additionally, there were investor relations fees of approximately $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
	·	Stock based compensation increased with the issuance of 2,750,000 options, 100% vested on June 30, 2025 with a $89,000 valuation compared to 600,000 shares issued on June 7, 2024 with a $24,000 valuation
	·	The revaluation of warrant liability expense was impacted by the net decrease in warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2025 by approximately 24,000,000.

Other income and expense:

	·	Other income included a non-refundable fee of $31,834 (AUD$50,000) received from Firetail Resources Limited that provided an exclusive period to perform due diligence on the option to acquire an 80% interest of the Company's Excelsior Springs Project.
	·	The unrealized gain on investment is due in large part to the increase in the share price of Carlton Precious Inc securities from CAD$0.06 to CAD$0.14 held by the Company.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has no revenue generating operations from which it can internally generate funds. To date, the Company's ongoing operations have been financed by the sale of its equity securities by way of public offerings, private placements and the exercise of incentive stock options and share purchase warrants. The Company believes that it will be able to secure additional private placements and public financings in the future, although it cannot predict the size or pricing of any such financings. This situation is unlikely to change until such time as the Company can develop a bankable feasibility study on one of its projects.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold 1,071,000 shares of the investment in Carlton Precious for CAD$70,450.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $550,000 of cash and working capital of approximately $1,000,000. This compares to cash on hand of approximately $15,000 and negative working capital of approximately $85,000 as at June 30, 2024.

The Company expects that it will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future and believes the current cash and cash equivalents and working capital will be sufficient for it to maintain its currently held properties, fund its planned exploration, and fund its currently anticipated general and administrative costs for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report.

However, the Company does expect that it will be required to raise additional funds through public or private equity financings in the future in order to continue in business in the future past the immediate 12-month period. Should such financing not be available in that timeframe, the Company will be required to reduce its activities and will not be able to carry out all of its presently planned exploration and, if warranted, development activities on its currently anticipated scheduling.

Capital Management

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development and exploration of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure, which optimizes the costs of capital to an acceptable risk.

ATHENA GOLD CORPORATION

Management's Discussion and Analysis

As of June 30, 2025, the capital structure of the Company consists of 259,508,086 shares of common stock with no par value. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts it in response to changes in economic conditions, its expected funding requirements, and risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company's funding requirements are based on cash forecasts. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new debt, new shares and/or consider strategic alliances. Management reviews its capital management approach on a regular basis. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have and never had any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date as a result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to lack of segregation of duties, a limited corporate governance structure and insufficient formal management review processes over certain financial and accounting reports as discussed in Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, there is an insufficient volume of transactions at this point in time to justify additional full-time staff. We believe that this is typical in many exploration stage companies. We may not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until we commence mining operations at which time, we would expect to hire more staff. We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
