NOES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) is a Canadian public company incorporated in British Columbia on August 3, 1982. The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol QZM, and certain broker-dealers in the United States make market in the Company's common shares on the OTC Grey Market under the symbol QZMRF. The Company's corporate office is located at 1040 West Georgia Street, 14th Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company most recently focused on evaluating mineral prospects for potential acquisition and exploration in British Columbia. The Company continues to investigate potential opportunities.
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, QZMG Resources Ltd. and Wavecrest Resources Inc., were dissolved on March 2, 2023. As such, the prior period comparative figures in the financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) of the Company for the three months ended October 31, 2022 include the results of QZMG Resources Ltd. and Wavecrest Resources Inc.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at October 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $29,773,528 and net working capital of $390,472. The Company's continuing operations are dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary financings to complete exploration of any new and current projects, its ability to obtain necessary permits to explore, develop, and mine new sites, and future profitable production of any mine. These material uncertainties are indicative of significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Additional debt or equity financing will be required to fund acquisition of mineral property interests. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financial resources or achieve positive cash flows. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, it will need to curtail its expenditures further, until additional funds can be raised through financing activities.
The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Effective May 27, 2020, the Company completed a forward share split (the “Share Split”) on the basis of two additional common shares for every common share outstanding prior to the Share Split. Outstanding warrants were adjusted by the same share split ratio. All references to shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to the Share Split.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are described below. These policies have been consistently applied for all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

NOES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
(a)
Statement of compliance
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), effective for the Company's fiscal year ended July 31, 2023.
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized issuance of these Financial Statements on December 21, 2023.
(b)
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and the subsidiaries that it controls. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Intercompany balances and transactions including any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
As at October 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company held a 0% (2022 - 100%) interest in QZMG Resources Ltd., a company that held a 0% (2022 - 100%) interest in Wavecrest Resources Inc.
The results in the three months ended October 31, 2022 include the
(c)
Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of these Financial Statements in conformity with IAS 34 involved use of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from such estimates.
In preparing these Financial Statements, significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended July 31, 2023.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company made $105,000 in cash payments and issued 1,000,000 common shares to the Vendor (valued at $210,000), which were subject to a 4-month resale restricted period.
The Maestro Property is subject to a pre-existing 2.5% net smelter returns (NSR) held by an arm’s length third party, of which 1.5% can be purchased for $1.5 million by the Company. This NSR is subject to an annual advance payment of $25,000 (paid).

QUARTZ MOUNTAIN RESOURCES LTD.
NOES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
The Company recognized a flow-through share premium liability in the amount of $20,000 to account for the excess of the subscription or exercise price at $0.20 over the fair value of the shares issued on September 8 (closing quote at $0.19 per share) and September 28, 2023 (closing quote at $0.17 per share).
The Company did not recognize any flow through share premium liability for the flow through share issuance on October 30, 2023, as the $0.18 unit price has been allocated to $0.17, the closing quote on October 30, 2023, to the common shares and the $0.01 residual value of the total unit price to the warrants issued on October 30, 2023.

8. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment – the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of mineral property interests. The Company is currently focusing on the acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests in BC, Canada. The Company’s long-term assets are located only in Canada.
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgement and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1:
quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
inputs other than quoted prices included in 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:
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The carrying value of cash, amounts receivable, amounts payable and other liabilities, due to a related party, and loan payable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments. Cash is classified as fair value through profit or loss and measured at fair value using level 1 inputs.

10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
(a)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and amounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions in business and savings accounts. Receivables are due primarily from a government agency. The carrying value of the Company's cash and amounts receivable represent the maximum exposure to credit risk.
(b)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due. The Company does not have sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, and accordingly is exposed to liquidity risk.

(c)
Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on cash. The Company’s practice has been to invest cash at floating rates of interest, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. There is minimal risk that the Company would recognize any loss because of a decrease in the fair value of any demand bank investment certificates included in cash as they are generally held with large financial institutions. The Company from time to time has debt instruments and is exposed to risk in the event of interest rate fluctuations. The Company has not entered any interest rate swaps or other financial arrangements that mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

(d)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Company is not subject to significant market risk.
(e)
Capital management objectives
The Company's primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to potentially provide returns for shareholders, and to have sufficient liquidity available to fund ongoing expenditures and suitable business opportunities as they arise.
The Company considers the components of shareholders' equity (deficiency) as capital. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue equity, sell assets, or return capital to shareholders as well as issue or repay debt.
The Company's investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short–term interest–bearing investments having maturity dates of three months or less from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
There were no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the three months ended October 31, 2023.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed equity requirements.
