NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022, and 2021

(Unaudited)

Note 1-Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") of Dakota Gold Corp. ("we", "us", "our", the "Company", "Dakota Gold") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, have been omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements.

DTRC Merger Transaction

On September 10, 2021, the Company and Dakota Territory Resource Corp. ("DTRC") entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "merger agreement") providing for the acquisition of the non-controlling interest of DTRC where the Company would acquire the remaining shares (not previously owned) of DTRC for an equal number of shares of the Company and DTRC would merge into a subsidiary of the Company (the "DTRC Merger" or the "DTRC Transaction"). The DTRC Merger was approved by the stockholders of DTRC at a Special Meeting of Stockholders and closed with an effective date of March 31, 2022.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, the DTRC stockholders received one share of Dakota Gold common stock for each share of DTRC's common stock owned at the time of the closing. After the closing, the former stockholders of DTRC and the Company owned approximately 49% and 51%, respectively, of the combined entity.

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries at the end of the reporting periods as follows:

	Incorporation	Percentage owned
	Incorporation	2022	2021
DTRC LLC	USA	100%	63%
JR Resources (Canada) Services Corp.	Canada	100%	100%
Dakota Gold Holdings LLC	USA	100%	N/A
Dakota Gold (Canada) Services Corp.	Canada	100%	N/A

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Note 2 - Mineral Rights and Properties

On September 26, 2012, the Company was re-organized with North Homestake Mining Company and acquired the Blind Gold Property located in the Homestake District of South Dakota. In 2018 and 2019, DTRC acquired additional acreage associated with DTRC's City Creek Property and the Tinton Gold Property. In 2020 and 2021, DTRC increased the size of the DTRC's Blind Gold Property, the Tinton Property, the Poorman Anticline Property, the Ragged Top Gold Project, the West Corridor Property, the City Creek Property and added the South Lead/Whistler Gulch Property through a combination of acquisitions and claim staking.

On October 26, 2020, the Company completed the purchase of the Maitland Gold Property from Homestake Mining Company of California ("HMCC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick"). At closing, DTRC paid Barrick $3.5 million in cash and issued 750,000 shares of DTRC's common stock valued at $1.76 per share, for total consideration of $4.82 million. Additionally, Barrick retained a 2.5% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the property. The 2,112 mineral-acre Maitland acquisition is an important component of the Company's exploration and development strategy for the structural corridor that extends from the Homestake Gold Mine to the Company's Blind Gold Property at the northern end of the Homestake District.

On September 7, 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire surface rights and certain facilities in the Homestake District, South Dakota from HMCC. The agreement provides for exclusive access to three extensive historic data sets which chronicle its 145-year exploration and mining history throughout South Dakota. Under the terms of the agreement, DTRC has a three-year option to acquire 4,261 acres of surface rights with attendant facilities and data held by HMCC. In consideration for the option, DTRC made a cash payment of $1.3 million and issued 1 million shares of DTRC common stock valued at $4,850,000 to Barrick and is making annual option payments of $300,000 during the option period. DTRC may exercise the option on or before September 7, 2024, by assuming all of the liabilities and bonds currently held by HMCC in the Homestake District. In addition, on exercise of the option, the Company will issue Barrick 3 million shares of common stock and grant a 2.5% NSR to Barrick with respect to any gold that may be recovered only from the Grizzly Gulch property.

On October 14, 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire Barrick's interest in the Richmond Hill Property in the Homestake District, South Dakota from LAC Minerals (USA) LLC and HMCC. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has an option to acquire 2,126 acres of surface and mineral rights with attendant facilities. The Company issued 400,000 DTRC shares of common stock valued at $1,816,000 to Barrick and will make annual option payments of $100,000 during the option period. The option period was originally through September 7, 2024, but in September 2022, the Company amended the option agreement to extend the period during which the Company may exercise the option. As amended, the Company may exercise the option on or before March 7, 2026, by assuming all the liabilities and bonds associated with the Richmond Hill Property. The Company issued 180,000 shares of common stock in consideration for the amendment to the option term. In addition, on exercise of the option, the Company will issue Barrick an additional 400,000 shares of common stock and grant a 1% NSR to Barrick with respect to any gold that may be recovered from the Richmond Hill Property.

On September 8, 2022, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary DTRC LLC, entered into a first amendment (the "amended option agreement") to the option agreement for purchase and sale of real property dated October 14, 2021 to acquire LAC Minerals (USA) LLC ("LAC") and HMCC's Richmond Hill Property in the Homestake District, South Dakota. The extension gives the Company further optionality in its exploration at the Richmond Hill Property. Other terms and obligation within the original option agreement will remain unchanged.

In total, the Company currently holds eleven brownfield project areas in the district comprised of 1,931 unpatented mining claims (33,475 unpatented acres), the Homestake Option Area (4,261 patented acres), Barrick's interest in the Richmond Hill Option Area (2,615 patented acres) and additional lands and mineral rights throughout the district (5,859 patented acres) for a combination of surface and mineral lease rights covering a total of 46,210 acres. The Company has not established that any of its projects or properties contain proven or probable mineral reserves under Regulation S-K Subpart 1300 ("S-K 1300").

During the six-month period ending September 30, 2022 the company acquired additional mineral properties totaling $1,529,316, which consisted of payments of $ 854,316 in cash and the issuance of 180,000 shares of common stock with a value of $675,000. As of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the carrying cost of the Company's mineral properties totaled $78,492,274 and $76,962,958, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the Company is in the exploration stage and has not commenced amortization of its properties. The Company will capitalize certain costs to its projects when the costs can be specifically attributable to a project, or when it is reasonable to allocate those costs. General regional exploration costs are not allocated to specific properties.

Note 5 - Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share with respect to all matters required by law to be submitted to stockholders. The holders of common stock have the sole right to vote. The common stock does not have any cumulative voting, pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights. Election of directors requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of common stock represented at a meeting, and other general stockholder action (other than an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation) requires the affirmative vote of the majority of shares represented at a meeting in which a quorum is represented. The outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

In connection with the domestication process on May 22, 2020, the Company changed its share capital structure from unlimited authorized shares of common stock without par value to 144,302,330 authorized shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share.

Stock Options Issued

Pursuant to the DTRC Merger on March 31, 2022, the Company cancelled DTRCs outstanding stock options and replaced them with options of Dakota Gold Corp. ("DGC") under the "2022 Stock Incentive Plan" with the same terms and provisions. The 2022 Stock Incentive Plan had a total of 6,250,000 units available to award to the Company's directors, executive officers and consultants. A unit can be a common stock purchase option, an RSU or a Performance Stock Unit ("PSU"). As of September 30, 2022, a total of 5,145,453 units relating to the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan remained available for future grants.

Outstanding stock options under the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan have a term of five years. Outstanding stock options granted to third-party service providers generally vest over a period of up to two years.

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued a total of 571,447 stock options with an exercise price of $3.01, exercisable for up to five years. The Company recognized stock-based compensation related to issuance of stock options totaling $1,430,152 during the six months ended September 30, 2022, of which $333,964 was allocated to exploration expenses and $1,096,188 was allocated to administrative expenses, based upon the primary activities of the grantees.

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company estimated the fair value of each stock option granted to have a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.43 per share using a Black Scholes valuation model. The weighted-average assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value were as follows: risk-free interest rate of 3.15%, estimated volatility of 65%, dividend yield of 0%, and expected life of 3.35 years.

During the six months ended September 30, 2021, DTRC granted a total of 2,271,250 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $4.79, exercisable for up to five years. DTRC recognized stock-based compensation related to the vesting of stock options totaling $2,710,715 for the six months ended September 30, 2021, of which $699,887 was allocated to exploration costs and $2,010,828 was allocated to administrative expenses, based upon the primary activities of the grantees.

During the six months ended September 30, 2021, DTRC estimated the fair value of each stock option granted to have a weighted average grant date fair value of $3.39 per share using a Black Scholes valuation model. The weighted- average assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value were as follows: risk-free interest rate ranging from 0.39% - 1.02%, estimated volatility of between 83% and 96%, dividend yield of 0%, and expected life ranging from 4.08 to 5.0 years.

Estimated volatility is calculated based on average volatility of the Company's peer group because the Company does not have sufficient historical data and will continue to use peer group volatility information until historical volatility of the Company is available to measure expected volatility for future grants. Peers are companies at similar stages of mine development and operating jurisdictions who have granted options with similar terms recently.

The stock-based compensation expense is recognized as the fair value determined at the initial grant date using Black-Scholes which is amortized over the vesting period.

Note 5 -Stockholders' Equity, continued

A summary of the Company's stock option activity and related information for the period ended September 30, 2022 is as follows:

	Number			Weighted Average Exercise Price	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (In Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Outstanding as of March 31, 2022	3,349,375		$	4.06	4.12	$	1,141,438
Options granted	571,447			3.01

Outstanding as of September 30, 2022	3,883,322		$	3.94	3.83	$	937,420

Options exercisable as of September 30, 2022	2,360,000		$	3.84	3.59	$	914,563

As of September 30, 2022, the unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options was $1,811,466, which will be expensed through June 2025. Allocations are based upon the primary activities of the grantees.

Warrants

As of September 30, 2022, there were 7,612,111 warrants outstanding, all with an exercise price of $2.08 and expiring on March 15, 2026. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, 3,607 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to an exercise of warrants for proceeds of $7,503.

RSUS and PSUs

The Company has an RSU plan that provides for the issuance of RSUs and PSUs in amounts as approved by the Company's board of directors.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued PSUs to certain members of management and other select employees. RSUs and PSUs generally vest in one-third increments over a three-year period, and compensation cost is recognized over the respective service periods based on the grant date fair value.

Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock.

Each PSU award entitles the participant to receive a variable number of shares of the Company's common stock at the end of a specified period. The total number of shares that would vest under the PSUs will be determined at the end of each of the next three-year performance periods based on the Company's performance against the index for the relevant performance periods. The total number of shares that may be earned for PSUs is based on performance over the performance period and ranges from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares.

The fair value of RSUs is measured at the grant-date price of the Company's shares. The fair value of PSUs is measured at the grant-date fair value.

The compensation expense related to the RSUs and PSUs has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements since the grant date and the fair value determined at the initial grant date will continue to be amortized over the vesting period.

Note 5 -Stockholders' Equity, continued

The Company recognized compensation expense related to the vesting of RSUs and PSUs totaling $112,544 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, of which $27,289 was allocated to exploration expenses and $85,255 allocated to administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2022, there was $1,489,933 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs and PSUs. Allocations are based upon the primary activities of the grantees. The fair value of RSUs is measured at the grant-date price of the Company's shares. The fair value of PSUs is measured at the grant-date fair value.

A summary of RSU and PSU awards outstanding and activity during the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 are as follows:

	Number of RSU Awards			Weighted- average grant date fair value per award	Number of PSU Awards		Weighted- average grant date fair value per award

Outstanding at March 31, 2022	1,150,000		$	4.95	-	$	-

As of June 30, 2022, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs granted in June 2021, therefore there was no stock-based compensation related to these RSUs for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Bonus Shares of Common Stock Issued by DTRC during the six months ended September 30, 2021

During the six months ended September 30, 2021, DTRC issued 1,450,000 shares of common stock valued at $7,177,500 as bonus shares to directors, employees and consultants of DTRC, with the stock-based compensation expense for the bonus shares being allocated as $1,237,500 to exploration costs and $5,940,000 to general and administrative expenses.

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may become party to various legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is also subject to audit by tax and other authorities for varying periods in various federal, state and local jurisdictions, and disputes may arise during the course of these audits. It is impossible to determine the ultimate liabilities that the Company may incur resulting from any of these lawsuits, claims, proceedings, audits, commitments, contingencies and related matters or the timing of these liabilities, if any. If these matters were to ultimately be resolved unfavorably, it is possible that such an outcome could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company does not, however, anticipate such an outcome and it believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Note 7 - Income Taxes

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

		Six months ended September 30, 2022			Six months ended September 30, 2021

Income tax expense (benefit) computed at federal statutory rates	$	(2,970,364	)	$	(3,821,110	)
Non-deductible expenses		-			14,397
Change in valuation allowance		953,413			3,456,753
Other		257,040			-
Deferred tax benefit	$	(1,759,911	)	$	(349,960	)

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 was 7.6% and 12.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate is less than the expected statutory rate as the Company does not expect to realize a benefit from a portion of the losses incurred.

Management has established a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets because the underlying the deferred tax benefit may not be realized.

The tax effects of the temporary differences between reportable financial statement income and taxable income are recognized as deferred tax assets or liabilities. Significant components of the deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance are set out below:

		September 30, 2022			March 31, 2022
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating losses	$	6,552,604		$	5,228,304
Net capital losses		36,685			36,685
Stock-based compensation		2,332,232			2,607,150
Deferred exploration costs		2,981,504			1,317,562
Total		11,903,025			9,189,701
Less: valuation allowance		(2,763,862	)		(1,810,449	)
Total deferred tax assets		9,139,163			7,379,252

Deferred tax liability:
Property and equipment		(47,383	)		(47,383	)
Mineral properties		(11,044,892	)		(11,044,892	)
Total deferred tax liabilities		(11,092,275	)		(11,092,275	)

Total deferred taxes	$	(1,953,112	)	$	(3,713,023	)

Of a total of approximately $39 million of net operating loss carry forward (including approximately $9 million of DTRC's unrecognized deferred tax asset), the net operating loss carry forward of approximately $9.7 million will begin to expire in 2027, as they were incurred prior to 2018. As a result of the merger, DTRC's net operating losses prior to the merger date may be, by law, partially or entirely unavailable to offset future taxable income.

We follow the provisions of ASC 740 relating to uncertain tax provisions and have commenced analyzing filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. There are no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30 or March 31, 2022. We file income tax returns in the United States federally and in one state jurisdiction. The Company has not been subjected to tax examinations for any year and the statute of limitations has not expired. The Company's tax returns remain open for examination by the applicable authorities, generally 3 years for federal and 4 years for state.

Note 8 - Subsequent Event(s)

On October 21, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Canaccord Genuity LLC (collectively, the "Sales Agents"), to establish an at-the-market equity program (the "ATM Program"). Under the ATM Program, the Company may offer and sell shares of common stock having aggregate proceeds of up to $50,000,000, from time to time, through any of the Sales Agents. Following establishment of the ATM program, the Company has issued 1,000,000 shares from the ATM program at an average price of $3.10 for gross proceeds of $3.1 million.

The Company's unaudited financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Since the Company is an exploration stage company and has not generated revenues to date, its business is subject to numerous contingencies and risk factors beyond its control, including exploration and development risks, competition from well-funded competitors, and its ability to manage growth.

Overview

The Company's goal is to create stockholder value through the acquisition, responsible exploration, and future development of high caliber gold properties in the Homestake District of South Dakota (the "Homestake District"). Management and the technical teams cumulatively have several hundred years of international mining and exploration experience. Key personnel have more than fifty combined years of mining and exploration experience in the Homestake District, mostly with the Homestake Mining Company, as well as other exploration companies that have operated in the region. The Company believes this experience uniquely positions the Company and will allow it to leverage its direct experience and knowledge of past exploration and mining activities in the Homestake District. Combined with the use of modern exploration and mining techniques, and new geologic understanding from experience in other mines, new research and information extracted from its new geophysical surveys, the Company hopes to focus its programs and build upon dominance where the historic Homestake Mining Company left off in the 1990's.

The Homestake District has yielded approximately 44.6 million ounces of gold production with most of it coming from within a small area. The production ledges of the old mine define a cumulative surface projection area of much less than 3 square miles. Homestake Mining Company's historic gold production and exploration in the Homestake District was overwhelmingly focused on the underground mine. Outside of the mine area, the Homestake District has been underexplored and lacks the modern exploration efforts required to search for other deposits especially under the cover of younger rocks that dominate the surface.

Since 2012, the Company has consistently pursued a strategy of expanding its portfolio of brownfield properties located exclusively within the Homestake District to build a dominant land position with the goal of consolidating possible mineral potential. Property acquisitions are focused and based on past exploration, the access to proprietary data sets the Company has assembled over the years, and new research and remote data acquisition (Magnetics, Gravity and Radiometric) that was recently conducted over the district that hosts the Homestake Gold Deposit.

The Company has not established that any of its projects or properties contain proven or probable mineral reserves under S-K 1300 nor do they guarantee their exploration work will ever establish an economic gold deposit. The Company believes the Homestake District is in a safe, low-cost jurisdiction with well-developed infrastructure and is in a favorable regulatory environment in which authorities have consistently demonstrated a willingness to work with responsible operators to permit well-planned compliant projects.

Planned Activities

The Company's planned activities in fiscal 2023 will be focused on advancing exploration drilling on its Maitland, Richmond Hill, and City Creek projects. In addition, work is planned to continue exploration, permitting studies, and targeting activities on its Blind Gold and Tinton projects to bring them to a drilling stage.

The Company's technical group and consultants are continuously modeling and evaluating data acquired through its regional high-definition airborne magnetic survey, supplemented by ground gravity surveys completed in 2021, to enhance possible drill targets, as well as to screen targets on other brownfields areas of interest within the district. Field sampling and mapping programs have been initiated at the Richmond Hill, City Creek, and the Barrick Option property. The Company continues to locate, evaluate, and add to the historic information in its regional and project level data sets much of which is from the 145-year-old Homestake Mining Company files acquired in the Barrick Option agreement but also from other private and public sources.

Permitting and site preparations were completed for the first drilling program on the iron-formation target and other tertiary-age replacement targets in the Maitland area and drilling commenced in early 2022. There are now three drill rigs operating on the property - two at Maitland and one at Richmond Hill. Permit and environmental field work for the Blind Gold and Tinton project areas has also been initiated. Targets in some of the other brownfield areas may also be identified and advanced for drilling as exploration activities continue throughout the year.

Proposed Cash Exploration Expenditures for the Year Ending March 31, 2023 (millions)
General & administrative	$ 4.7
Drilling, Field programs/Met Testing/Data Compilation	$ 15.5
Property Acquisition	$ 6.3
TOTAL	$26.5

The Company's projects are all at the exploration stage and do not generate revenues. The Company has not established that any of its properties or projects contain proven or probable mineral reserves as defined under S-K 1300. Expenditure projections are subject to numerous contingencies and risk factors beyond the Company's control, including exploration and development risks, competition from well-funded competitors, and the Company's ability to manage growth and assessments of ongoing exploration activities and results. The Company cannot offer assurance that its expenses will either meet or exceed its projections.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is in the exploration-stage and does not generate revenues. As such, the Company finances its operations and the acquisition and exploration of its mineral properties through the issuance of common stock, and the Company could be materially adversely affected if it is unable to raise capital because of market or other factors.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of $26,905,899 and its retained earnings as of September 30, 2022, was $681,220. The Company had net losses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, of $6,575,955 and $12,384,680, respectively.

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued a total of 37,500 shares of common stock for proceeds of $12,000 pursuant to the exercise of stock options and 3,607 shares of common stock for proceeds of $7,503 pursuant to the exercise of warrants.

During the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, the Company plans cash expenditures for exploration of approximately $26.5 million and is managing spending within that budget. In the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company has incurred cash expenditures of approximately $3.5 million on general and administrative expenses, $7.9 million on exploration expenses and approximately $0.9 million on property acquisitions.

The timing of expected expenditures is dependent upon a number of factors, including the availability of contractors. The Company has sufficient funds for funding its activities for the remainder of the current fiscal year.

Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Canaccord Genuity LLC (collectively, the "Sales Agents"), to establish an at-the-market equity program (the "ATM Program"). Under the ATM Program, the Company may offer and sell shares of common stock having aggregate proceeds of up to $50,000,000, from time to time, through any of the Sales Agents. Following establishment of the ATM program, the Company has issued 1,000,000 shares from the ATM program at an average price of $3.10 for gross proceeds of $3.1 million.

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

The Company had no operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. We are not currently profitable. We had a net loss of $6,575,955 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (three months ended September 30, 2021 - $5,003,080).

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our exploration costs totaled $4,677,900 and $1,875,085, respectively. The increase quarter over quarter primarily related to the continuation of exploration drilling and related activities which commenced in January 2022. In addition, the Company funded the airborne geophysical survey and increased the review and compilation of historical geological data. Included in these costs were payments of annual claim maintenance fees related to our mineral properties and exploration-related stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $188,817 (three months ended September 30, 2021 - $184,252).

General and Administrative

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $2,396,284 and $3,298,785, respectively. These expenditures were primarily for legal, accounting and professional fees, investor relations as well as other general and administrative expenses necessary for our operations. The decrease quarter over quarter was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation allocated to administration expenses of $499,535 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (three months ended September 30, 2021 - $2,617,448). The organization grew from twelve employees to over thirty, which resulted in increased general and administrative costs (excluding stock-based compensation) to $1,896,749 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 (three months ended September 30, 2021 - $623,076). The organization grew to support advancing the exploration activities, which include drilling activities in the current fiscal year.

Six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

We had a net loss of $12,384,680 for the six months ended September 30, 2022 (six months ended September 30, 2021 - $17,845,804).

Exploration Costs

During the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our exploration costs totaled $8,449,417 and $4,058,726, respectively. The increase period over period primarily related to the continuation of exploration drilling and related activities which commenced in January 2022. In addition, the Company funded the airborne geophysical survey and increased the review and compilation of historical geological data. Included in these costs were payments of annual claim maintenance fees related to our mineral properties, as well exploration-related stock-based compensation expenses of $525,883 for the six months ended September 30, 2022 (six months ended September 30, 2021 - $1,768,110).

General and Administrative

Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $5,704,945 and $14,027,533, respectively. These expenditures were primarily for legal, accounting and professional fees, investor relations, as well as other general and administrative expenses necessary for our operations. The decrease period over period was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation allocated to administration expenses of $2,084,986 for the six months ended September 30, 2022 (six months ended September 30, 2021 - $11,862,461). The organization has grown to over thirty employees, which resulted in increased general and administrative costs (excluding stock-based compensation) to $3,619,959 during the six months ended September 30, 2022 (six months ended September 30, 2021 - $2,106,811). The organization grew to support advancing the exploration activities, which include drilling activities in the current fiscal year.

We had losses from operations totaling $14,154,362 and $18,086,259, respectively, losses before income tax of $14,144,591 and $18,195,764, respectively, and deferred tax benefits of $1,759,911 and $349,960, respectively, leading to net losses for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 of $12,384,680 and $17,845,804, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the quarter is less than the statutory rate, due to a lower tax benefit for stock-based compensation related to Restricted Share Units which were issued during the period, when compared to what was recognized during the vesting period for those units, and a change in our valuation allowance related to our net operating losses.

Cash flows used in operating activities

During the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company's cash flows used in operating activities were $12,335,132 and $4,442,778, respectively. Cash used in operations for the six months ended September 30, 2022 increased year over year as the Company increased the amount of land staking and associated annual claim maintenance costs. In addition, the company completed an airborne geophysical survey and engaged additional personnel to review and commence the compilation of historical geological data obtained through the Barrick option agreements. The Company also continued drilling and related activities which commenced in January 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Preparation of financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions and historical experience, which are believed to be reasonable; however, due to the inherent nature of estimates, actual results may differ significantly due to changed conditions or assumptions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that the Company's financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with US GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from the Company's assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Management believes that the following critical accounting estimates and judgments have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements: valuation of options granted to directors and officers using the Black-Scholes model and fair value of mineral properties. The accounting policies are described in greater detail in Note 2 to the Company's audited annual financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Form 10-K.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including its chief executive officer ("CEO") and chief financial officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).

Changes to Internal Controls and Procedures over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. As noted in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022, based on the criteria set forth in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control -Integrated Framework. We are continuing to take steps to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
