The Company and Significant Accounting Policies These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. (“IDR”, “Idaho Strategic” or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2024. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture (“NJMJV”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The portion of entities owned by other investors is presented as non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. Revenue Recognition Gold Revenue Recognition and Receivables- Sales of gold sold directly to customers are recorded as revenues and receivables upon completion of the performance obligations and transfer of control of the product to the customer. For concentrate sales, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price can be reasonably estimated, and revenue is recognized generally at the time of shipment at estimated forward prices for the anticipated month of settlement. Due to the time elapsed from shipment to the customer and the final settlement with the customer, prices at which sales of concentrates will be settled are estimated. Previously recorded sales and accounts receivable are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the customer. For sales of doré and metals from doré, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price is known, and revenue is recognized at the time of transfer of control of the agreed-upon metal quantities to the customer by the refiner. Sales and accounts receivable for concentrate shipments are recorded net of charges by the customer for treatment, refining, smelting losses, and other charges negotiated with the customers. Charges are estimated upon shipment of concentrates based on contractual terms, and actual charges typically do not vary materially from estimates. Costs charged by customers include fixed costs per ton of concentrate and price escalators. Refining, selling, and shipping costs related to sales of doré and metals from doré are recorded to cost of sales as incurred. See Note 4 for more information on our sales of products. Other Revenue Recognition -Revenue from harvest of raw timber is recognized when the performance obligation under a contract and transfer of the timber have both been completed. Sales of timber found on the Company’s mineral properties are not a part of normal operations. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of full cost of production or estimated net realizable value based on current metal prices. Costs consist of mining, transportation, and milling costs including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion, and amortization relating to the operations. Costs are allocated based on the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Supplies inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Mine Exploration and Development Costs The Company expenses exploration costs as such in the period they occur. The mine development stage begins once the Company identifies ore reserves which is based on a determination whether an ore body can be economically developed. Expenditures incurred during the development stage are capitalized as deferred development costs and include such costs for drift, ramps, raises, and related infrastructure. Costs to improve, alter, or rehabilitate primary development assets which appreciably extend the life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency or safety of such assets are also capitalized. The development stage ends when the production stage of ore reserves begins. Amortization of deferred development costs is calculated using the units-of-production method over the expected life of the operation based on the estimated recoverable mineral ounces. Fair Value Measurements When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period that are included in earnings are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date. At December 31, 2023, the Company had equity securities measured at fair value using level 1 quoted prices and no liabilities required measurement at fair value. At September 30, 2024, the Company had no assets or liabilities that required measurement at fair value on a recurring basis. 7 Table of Contents Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures (“JV”) and Equity Method Investments Investment in JVs -For JVs where the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the JV is consolidated with the presentation of non-controlling interest. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and its representation on the venture’s management committee. For JVs in which the Company does not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. For those JVs in which there is joint control between the parties, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in JVs and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. The Company periodically assesses its investments in JVs for impairment. If management determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary it will write-down the investment and charge the impairment against operations. Equity Method Investments -Investments in companies and joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and representation on governing bodies. Under the equity method of accounting, our share of the net earnings or losses of the investee are included in net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations. We evaluate equity method investments whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, a loss is recorded in earnings in the current period. At September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company's 37 % common stock holding of Buckskin Gold and Silver, Inc. (“Buckskin”) is accounted for using the equity method (Note 11). At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s percentage ownership and method of accounting for each JV and equity method investment is as follows: September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 JV/Equity % Ownership Significant Influence? Accounting Method % Ownership Significant Influence? Accounting Method NJMJV 65 % Yes Consolidated 65 % Yes Consolidated Butte Highlands JV, LLC 50 % No Cost 50 % No Cost Buckskin 37 % Yes Equity 37 % Yes Equity Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2024 financial statement presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net loss, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows as previously reported. Investments in Equity Securities Investments in equity securities are generally measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for equity securities resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. If an equity security does not have a readily determinable fair value, we may elect to measure the security at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment in the same issuer. At the end of each reporting period, we reassess whether an equity investment security without a readily determinable fair value qualifies to be measured at cost less impairment, consider whether impairment indicators exist to evaluate if an equity investment security is impaired and, if so, record an impairment loss. At the end of each reporting period, unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. Upon sale of an equity security, the realized gain or loss is recognized in current earnings. Investments in Debt Securities The Company holds short term investments in United States Treasury notes and are classified as held to maturity based on management’s intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Such debt securities are stated at cost, adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums and discounts and are amortized using the interest method over the stated terms of the securities. Amortization of the premium or discount is included in interest income on the consolidated statement of operations. Government Grant Income The Company occasionally receives grant income from various government agencies. Government grant income is recognized in earnings on a systematic basis in a manner that mirrors the manner in which the Company recognizes the underlying costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. A grant receivable is recognized for expenses or losses already incurred but for which grant funding has not yet been received. Grant funding received in excess of expenses or losses incurred is recognized as deferred revenue. 8 Table of Contents Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies (continued) New Accounting Pronouncement In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which clarifies the business combination accounting for joint venture formations. The amendments in the ASU seek to reduce diversity in practice that has resulted from a lack of authoritative guidance regarding the accounting for the formation of joint ventures in separate financial statements. The amendments also seek to clarify the initial measurement of joint venture net assets, including businesses contributed to a joint venture. The guidance is applicable to all entities involved in the formation of a joint venture. The amendments are effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We continue to evaluate the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures and don’t expect any changes to amounts currently reported. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, amending reportable segment disclosure requirements to include disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. Among the disclosure enhancements are new disclosures regarding significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, as well as other segment items bridging segment revenue to each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are applied retrospectively. We continue to evaluate the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures and don’t expect any changes to our current reportable segments. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, amending income tax disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and are applied prospectively. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We continue to evaluate the impact of this update our consolidated financial statements and don’t expect any changes to amounts currently reported. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. 2.

JV Arrangements NJMJV Agreement The Company owns 65% of the NJMJV and has significant influence in its operations. Thus, the JV is included in the consolidated financial statements along with presentation of the non-controlling interest. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, an account receivable existed with Crescent Silver, LLC (“Crescent”), the other JV participant, for $ 855 and $ 2,080 , respectively, for shared operating costs as defined in the JV agreement. This account receivable is included in the Balance Sheet as Joint venture receivable. Butte Highlands JV, LLC On January 29, 2016, the Company purchased a 50% interest in Butte Highlands JV, LLC (“BHJV”) for a total consideration of $ 435,000 . Highland Mining, LLC (“Highland”) is the other 50 % owner and manager of the JV. Under the agreement, Highland will fund all future project exploration and mine development costs. The agreement stipulates that Highland is manager of BHJV and will manage BHJV until such time as all mine development costs, less $ 2 million are distributed to Highland out of the proceeds from future mine production. The Company has determined that because it does not currently have significant influence over the JV’s activities, it accounts for its investment on a cost basis. 10 Table of Contents Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 7.
