Pampa Paciencia Property, Chile

On May 13, 2021, the Company, through its Chilean subsidiary, Astra Exploration Chile SpA ("AEC"), acquired an 80% interest in Sociedad Contractual Minera Paciencia ("SCM"), a company holding a 100% interest in certain mineral rights for the Pampa Paciencia gold property located in Chile (the "Pampa Paciencia Property") for consideration comprised of the issuance of 5,820,834 common shares with a fair value of $1,164,167.

On November 15, 2022, the Company closed the acquisition of the remaining 20% of SCM for consideration of the issuance of 1,455,208 common shares, with a fair value of $218,281. After this acquisition, the Company holds 100% of SCM, resulting in a 100% interest in the Pampa Paciencia Property.

The Pampa Paciencia Property consists of eight exploitation claims, totaling 2,140 hectares. In March 2021, the Company applied for 3 additional exploration claims, covering 1,800 hectares along the western border of the property. On December 9, 2024, the Company concluded the process to convert the 3 additional exploration claims into 3 exploitation claims comprising 1,760 hectares that were available.

The property lies within the Paleocene Mineral belt and contains gold-silver mineralization hosted in low sulphidation-style epithermal quartz veins and has potential for porphyry-related copper-molybdenum mineralization under cover at Dominador in the NE area of the property.

Two principal magmatic events occur at Pampa Paciencia related to the Dominador N-S regional fault: Cretaceous volcanic host rocks intruded by late Cretaceous and Paleocene intrusion events. These were all mineralized in the Paleocene and then partially covered by Miocene to Holocene alluvial and colluvial deposits.

Exploration work on Pampa Paciencia by previous operators includes geological mapping, rock chip and float sampling, ground geophysics, 2,629 metres ("m") of trenching and 3,209 m of drilling in 19 holes. This work resulted in the discovery of a low sulphidation epithermal vein system in the North Zone, with Au and Ag-rich shoots including select drill results returning 3.75 m grading 8.29 g/t AuEg (80:1). Given the relatively minimal amount of exploration, comparably small footprint of epithermal deposits, and extensive but shallow cover, management believes there is significant opportunity to discover more low sulphidation epithermal veins in the area. Additionally, sections containing previously intersected Au and Ag-rich mineralization are open along strike and at depth, which provide high quality drill targets.


ASTRA EXPLORATION INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

As of the MD&A Date, the Company has conducted the following exploration activities:

  • Detailed mapping and sampling of outcrop, subcrop, and float including systematic characterization of quartz textures, alteration and structure.
  • Property-wide magnetic survey and increased resolution of existing ground magnetics by infilling the previous grid with new lines at 50 m or 25 m spacing.
  • 1,119 m of trenching and channel sampling of veins or extensions.
  • 2,982 m of reverse circulation drilling (Phase I program) to test new targets and extend known targets.
  • 3,976 m of reverse circulation drilling (Phase II program) to test new targets and extend known targets.

The Company has received geochemical results from the Phase I drill program which was completed between February 19, 2022 and March 25, 2022. The program consisted of thirty holes and 2,982 m. A total of 1,233 samples, including blanks, duplicates and standards were sent to ALS Lab in Santiago, Chile.

Twenty-five holes targeted the Paciencia Vein System in the North Zone, represented by three segments of the same vein (from NW to SE): Paciencia Oeste - 9 holes, Paciencia - 12 holes and Paciencia Este - 3 holes. All 24 of these holes intersected thick (10 to 15 m true width) LSE mineralization represented by quartz veins, hydrothermal breccias and quartz and Fe-Mn oxide stockworks and veinlets, hosted in Cretaceous granitic rocks. Geochemical results demonstrate that Au and Ag mineralization concentrates at depth along the LSE vein in two zones: one in Paciencia Oeste 200 m long and 80 m deep, with an intersection of 25 m averaging 0.96 g/t AuEq (80:1) including 2 m containing 3.73 g/t AuEq in hole PPRC-22-24, and one in Paciencia/Paciencia Este veins 400 m long and 100 m deep, with an intersection of 2.85 g/t AuEq over 21 m including 3 m of 14.98 g/t AuEq in hole PPRC-22-12.

In addition to the Paciencia Vein System, two holes were drilled to test ground magnetic targets in blind areas in the North Zone. These holes intersected LSE mineralization, up to 14 m thick with anomalous Au and Ag values.

The last three holes were drilled in the Central Zone and targeted below a mineralized vein in andesitic rocks that reported high Au grade in a historical trench. The holes crosscut quartz veinlets, suggesting that the host rock of these veins in the Central Zone is likely not favorable for LSE mineralization.

The Phase II drill program consisted of 3,976 m of RC drilling. It was primarily focused on expanding mineralization at depth and along strike in the two defined mineralized shoots located in the Paciencia Vein System. Secondary targets consisted of other blind vein structures discovered with the Phase I drill program and newly interpreted vein structures from other geophysical targets, in particular those WNW, E-W to ENE-striking magnetic lineaments related with low magnetic regional anomalies. Drill samples were delivered to the AAA laboratory in Calama.

The drill program defined the extension of the two previously discovered mineralized shoots and discovered a third shoot of mineralization at depth in the Paciencia Oeste vein segment with nine metres averaging 4.5 g/t AuEq, including a high-grade zone with a three-metre interval of 12.7 g/t AuEq in hole PPRC-22-45. The Paciencia/Paciencia Este shoot is currently the largest, at approximately 400 metres along strike and approximately 170 metres vertical extension. The second shoot is defined in the Paciencia Oeste vein, with a defined 200 metres of strike (open to the east) and 130 metres vertical extension. A third shoot, discovered in this Phase II program, remains open in all directions with mineralization starting at a depth of 200 metres below surface. Estimated true width of each shoot is 10-15 metres.

The magnetic targets that were drilled intersected veins with low or no precious metal grades. Anomalous mineralization was intersected in the Tormenta vein (a splay of the Paciencia vein system to the west, with at least 300 metres of strike length) with 11 metres at 0.22 g/t AuEq at the intersection with Paciencia Oeste vein. These newly discovered veins are thick structures (estimated true thickness of 20 metres in PPRC-22-46 and 5 metres in PPRC-22-55) with potential to host additional mineralized shoots.

On March 22, 2023, the Company, through its Chilean subsidiary, AEC, filed an Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") regarding the Pampa Paciencia project. The permitting process went as expected and concluded on schedule. On January 8, 2024, the Company received approval of its EIA. Under the initial permit, the Company was limited to a maximum of 39 platforms, all of which were used in a small area representing less than ten percent of the project area. The new permit allows the Company to build up to 330 new drill platforms and includes provisions for extensive geophysical surveys.

Exploration activities at Pampa Paciencia during Q4 2023 and Q1 2024 were a combination of detailed studies of the mineralization and exploration at the Impaciencia and Dominador targets.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

Veins were mapped in different pulses and grouped into events, identifying the ore-bearing ones, and making fluid inclusions that proved that a combination of boiling and fluid mixing was the main trigger for gold and silver precipitation. Average formation temperature of the main ore pulse was 227.1°C, with 4% NaCl salinity - conditions typical in the formations of LSE precious metals deposits.

At Impaciencia, a program consisting of ground penetration radar geophysics and trenching failed to intercept vein below the gravels, indicating that drilling is the best technique to explore the covered areas.

Astra geologists defined a north-south striking corridor of 1.7 km by 500 metres in the northeast claim area called Dominador, which is considered to be highly prospective for porphyry copper systems. The target contains subcrops of intrusion-hosted tourmaline-cemented hydrothermal breccias within a broader hydrothermally altered area, coincident with multiple geological and geophysical data layers.

Don Mario Property - Cerro Bayo, Chile

On March 9, 2021, the Company, through its Chilean subsidiary, AEC, closed an asset transfer agreement for 100% of the mining claims located in the Cerro Bayo Mining District, Maricunga Belt, Northern Chile (the "Don Mario Property - Cerro Bayo") for purchase consideration paid of US$102 and a 3% of net smelter returns from all minerals produced on the property (the "Asset Transfer Agreement").

On July 5, 2022, the Company, through its Chilean subsidiary, AEC, implemented the Asset Transfer Agreement by signing in Chile with Compañía Minera Don Mario SCM a Purchase and NSR Agreement by which AEC acquired all the claims comprising the Don Mario Property - Cerro Bayo.

The Don Mario Property - Cerro Bayo consists of 17 mining concessions totaling 4,480 hectares and duly registered under the name of Astra Exploration Chile SpA at the Mining Registrar of Copiapó. Cerro Bayo is located in Region III, Northern Chile, 120 km east of the city of Copiapó and 19 km east of the Maricunga (Refugio) mine (6 million ounces of Au).

The property lies within the Maricunga belt. It is related to a major NNE lineament that connects with Marte-Lobo projects to the north, and includes outcropping disseminated gold mineralization in a high sulphidation-style epithermal (HSE) system, that could have potential for porphyry style gold-copper mineralization below the HSE lithocap.

The Maricunga belt is characterized by Miocene structurally controlled Au-rich porphyries and high sulphidation systems. At Cerro Bayo, a Miocene dacitic porphyry intruding a pyroclastic sequence was defined. These rocks have vuggy and quartz and alunite alteration, together with hydrothermal brecciation and pervasive silicification mapped.

Exploration work on the Don Mario Property - Cerro Bayo by previous operators includes geological mapping, rock chip and soil grid sampling, and 1,660 m of RC drilling in 8 holes. This work was concentrated in the Cerro Bayo hill, representing about 10% of the property and resulted in the discovery of a disseminated HSE system. Results included surface Au anomalies up to 5.86 g/t in a geochemical grid and 25.3 g/t Au in selected samples, and drill results returning 20 m grading 0.41 g/t Au (BDH-01) and 32 m grading 0.38 g/t Au (BDH-08). Given the minimal amount of exploration, management believes there is significant opportunity to discover a disseminated gold HSE and/or porphyry system in the area. Previous exploration results at Cerro Bayo are historical in nature and have not been verified by the Company.

La Manchuria Property - Santa Cruz, Argentina

On July 8, 2024, the Company signed a binding letter agreement, granting the Company the option to acquire up to a 90% interest in the Manchuria epithermal gold-silver Project ("Manchuria Project") from Patagonia Gold Corp ("Patagonia") located in the prolific Deseado Massif of Santa Cruz, Argentina. On October 25, 2024, the Company received approvals from both the existing royalty holder and from the Santa Cruz Provincial authorities in relation to the Manchuria Project agreement and has delivered timely notice to Patagonia of its election with the agreement. The Company has the exclusive option to acquire an initial 80% interest in the Manchuria Project by fulfilling the following project expenditures, subject to the Company's right to accelerate and/or extend the earn-in timeframe:

  • US$150,000 expenditures by October 25, 2025 (fulfilled).
  • US$350,000 expenditures by October 25, 2026 (fulfilled).
  • US$1,500,000 expenditures by October 25, 2027.
  • US$1,000,000 expenditures by October 25, 2028.

Upon earning 80%, the Company may then elect to purchase an additional 10%, for 90% total ownership, by making a cash payment of US$5,000,000 to Patagonia by July 8, 2030, subject to the Company's right to accelerate or extend this period. Patagonia's interest will be carried until the publication of a 43-101 compliant resource totaling at least 1 million ounces of gold-equivalent in the indicated plus inferred categories. Upon publication of the resource, each party will contribute their pro-rata amounts of expenditures from that point forward. If either the Company's or Patagonia's ownership is reduced to less than 10%, such ownership will automatically convert to a 1% NSR.

Previous exploration consists of surface and trench samples, geophysics (ground mag, IP and CSAMT) and 22,200 metres of drilling (91% DDH) in 133 holes. Exploration activity concentrated at an elevated and altered 600 by 700 metres area exposing a dense group of NW to NNW trending parallel banded quartz-adularia veins with bonanza grades that can be divided into the Main and the Eastern Zones. This area is interpreted by Astra geologists as a Jurassic intrusion-related epithermal system with evidence of late and post-mineralization phreatic to phreatomagmatic breccias and is currently the only area drilled.

Drilling was concentrated at the Main Zone, where in 2019 Patagonia published a 43-101 resource (Table 1) which remains open in all directions. The Eastern Zone (900 by 250 metres) consists of a similar group of NW-trending parallel banded quartz-adularia veins with bonanza grades that were not explored in detail (only 8 of the 133 holes drilled at La Manchuria) and could likely expand the near-surface resources. Additionally, to the east there are more NW-oriented trends with shallow LSE style mineralization, and to the south more evidence of post-mineral breccias with fragments of shallow epithermal mineralization is present.

After relogging drill holes along 25 metres spaced cross sections, Company geologists interpret that the Main and Eastern Zones are characterized by a pyroclastic sequence with a lower unit composed by coarse to fine grained volcaniclastic rocks and an upper unit represented by thick rhyolitic flow tuffs. These pyroclastic deposits were intruded by andesitic rocks with cryptodomes, sills and dikes morphology and all these units are mineralized by shallow LSE fluids. The contact between the two pyroclastic units is represented by a layer with important amounts of carbonized wood representing the base of the rhyolitic flow tuffs. There is a post-mineral unit represented by a layer of breccias that covers (up to 100 metres) the mineralized system to the south of the Main Zone.

LSE mineralization was mainly tested in the rhyolitic tuffs upper unit with several Au-Ag rich drill intersections that created the bulk disseminated resource published in the latest 43-101. However, there is strong evidence that there are high-grade precious metal intersections when faults and fluids cross-cut the lower unit, in particular at the carbon-rich level, and there is evidence of veins in the andesitic intrusions.

The Company commenced exploration activity on La Manchuria in November 2024 with the reinterpretation of the geological model based on relogging of previous core and geological mapping, followed by the completion of a 120 km ground magnetics survey, and the completion of environmental reports necessary for obtaining exploration permits. In March 2025, Astra received the drill permit for the La Manchuria project.

During April and May the geological team completed a drill program of 11 DDH holes, totaling 2,468 metres, to test the new geological model and to extend the mineralization system to the west, east and south of the Main Zone and to extend mineralization at the Eastern Zone. The program was successful in extending mineralization in all directions beyond the existing resource area, and included two outstanding results of high Au and Ag grades:

  • 4.4m grading 11.8g/t gold and 2,781g/t silver (including 1.4m grading 35.3g/t gold and 8,356g/t silver) in hole LM-108A.
  • 1.6m grading 75.09g/t gold and 86.79g/t silver (including 0.6m grading 199.3g/t gold and 228g/t silver) in hole LM-107A.

In August and September, the geological team compiled all geophysical information covering the project, including raw data from previous operators which included CSAMT and IP, into a 3D model of resistivity and chargeability covering the Main and Eastern Zones. Additionally, the Company completed a ground magnetics survey of the entire project consisting of 150 linear km. All of this information was used for targeting drill holes of the Phase II drill program.

Loss and comprehensive loss increased to $1,653,249 compared to $100,744 in the prior year comparable period. The primary drivers of this increase were as follows:

  • Exploration and evaluation expenditures increased to $1,305,599 compared to $5,805 in the prior year comparable period due to $1,235,407 in drilling and geological consulting expenses incurred for the Manchuria Project and the increased record and title fee payments for Don Mario – Cerro Bayo Property in the current period.
  • General and administrative increased to $20,215 compared to $5,166 in the prior year comparable period due to additional corporate and administrative costs associated with the activities of the Argentinian subsidiary.
  • Management fees increased to $80,971 compared to $5,250 in the prior year comparable period due to the voluntary decision of the CEO, CFO and geologist to not charge the Company for management services provided during July to September 2024.
  • Marketing increased to $78,937 from $23,158 in the prior year comparable period due to increased trade show attendance over the prior year comparable period.
  • Professional fees increased to $63,407 from $29,453 in the prior year comparable period due to the voluntary decision of the Chilean management team to not charge the Company for professional services provided during July to September 2024.
  • Share-based compensation increased to $47,370 compared to $8,475 in the prior year comparable period due to vesting of stock options granted to directors, officers and consultants on December 23, 2024.
  • Travel increased to $19,080 compared to $280 in the prior year comparable period due to higher number of executive site visits and trade show attendance in the current period.

Partially offsetting the increase in loss and comprehensive loss were decreases to certain expenses as follows:

  • Consulting fees decreased to $nil compared to $15,295 in the prior year comparable period due to advisory services related to the acquisition of the Manchuria Property in the prior period.

Loss and comprehensive loss increased to $2,474,548 compared to $346,756 in the prior year comparable period. The primary drivers of this increase were as follows:

  • Exploration and evaluation expenditures increased to $1,796,240 compared to $107,776 in the prior year comparable period due to $1,235,407 in drilling and geological consulting expenses incurred for the Manchuria Project and the increased record and title fee payments for Don Mario – Cerro Bayo Property in the current period.
  • General and administrative increased to $30,911 compared to $14,797 in the prior year comparable period due to additional corporate and administrative costs associated with the activities of the Argentinian subsidiary.
  • Management fees increased to $167,426 compared to $11,060 in the prior year comparable period due to the voluntary decision of the CEO, CFO and geologist to not charge the Company for management services provided during April to September 2024.
  • Marketing increased to $198,455 from $57,902 in the prior year comparable period due to increased trade show attendance over the prior year comparable period.
  • Professional fees increased to $63,407 from $29,453 in the prior year comparable period due to the voluntary decision of the Chilean management team to not charge the Company for professional services provided during April to September 2024.
  • Share-based compensation increased to $94,739 compared to $16,950 in the prior year comparable period due to vesting of stock options granted to directors, officers and consultants on December 23, 2024.

Partially offsetting the increase in loss and comprehensive loss were decreases to certain expenses as follows:

  • Consulting fees decreased to $7,717 compared to $28,582 in the prior year comparable period due to advisory services related to the acquisition of the Manchuria Property in the prior period.

Q2 2026 Q1 2026 Q4 2025 Q3 2025
$ $ $ $
Loss attributable to shareholders of the Company 1,653,249 821,299 646,857 571,750

Q2 2025 Q1 2025 Q4 2024 Q3 2024
$ $ $ $
Loss attributable to shareholders of the Company 100,744 246,012 133,011 195,004
Loss per share - basic and diluted 0.00 0.01 0.00 0.00
Total assets 53,236 148,963 91,014 91,758
Working capital (deficit) 19,573 111,842 (45,292) 82,840

The quarterly trend in loss and loss per share is primarily driven by the Company's corporate costs and exploration and evaluation expenditures. During the current quarter, the commencement of drilling activities at the Manchuria Project resulted in a significant increase in exploration and evaluation expenditures, contributing to a higher net loss compared to previous periods. The quarterly trend in total assets and working capital is primarily driven by movements in cash balance related to the Company's financing activities and spending on corporate costs and exploration and evaluation expenditures.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN

The Company has financed its operations primarily through the issuance of common shares and units. The Company continues to seek capital through various means including the issuance of equity and debt.

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

As at September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $12,761,709 (March 31, 2025 - $10,287,161); a cash balance of $1,249,641 (March 31, 2025 - $1,297,636); and an accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance of $211,136 (March 31, 2025 - $192,558). As at September 30, 2025, the Company's working capital was $1,107,764 (March 31, 2025 - $1,177,102).

In addition to the Company's accumulated deficit and historic working capital position, the Company has not generated revenues and does not anticipate generating revenues in the near future to meet its operating and administrative expenses. These circumstances cast significant doubt on the validity of the going concern assumption.

In order to continue as a going concern and to meet its corporate objectives, which primarily consist of investigating new potential properties and exploration work on those potential properties, the Company will require additional financing through debt or equity issuances or other available means.

Although the Company has previously been successful in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. Factors that could affect the availability of financing include the progress and exploration results of the mineral properties, the state of international debt, equity and metals markets, and investor perceptions and expectations.

The Company's financial statements do not include adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair value information

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and subscription deposits which are classified as and measured at amortized cost. The fair value approximates their carrying values due to the relatively short term to maturity of these instruments. The Company has no financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss.

Management of financial risks

The Company's financial instruments expose the Company to certain financial risks, including, liquidity risk, credit risk, and foreign currency risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and managing its capital and expenditures.

At September 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $1,249,641 (March 31, 2025 - $1,297,636) as well as accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $211,136 (March 31, 2025 - $192,558) with contractual maturities of less than one year. The Company had sufficient cash to meet its current liabilities as at September 30, 2025. As such, the Company has assessed its liquidity risk as low.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet an obligation under contract. The Company's cash is exposed to credit risk. The Company reduces its credit risk on cash by placing its cash in financial institutions of high creditworthiness. As such, the Company has assessed its credit risk as low.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that it has monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (US$ and CLP).

A summary of the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in US$ and expressed in CAD is as follows:

September 30, 2025 March 31, 2025
$ $
Cash 135,896 116,962
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 67,351 111,003

A summary of the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in CLP and expressed in CAD is as follows:

September 30, 2025 March 31, 2025

A 5% change in the foreign exchange rates would result in an impact of approximately $2,113 to the Company's net loss.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern such that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The management of the capital structure (share capital) is based on the funds available to the Company in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties and to maintain the Company in good standing with the various regulatory authorities. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue debt instruments or return capital to its shareholders. The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in management's approach to capital management during the six months ended September 30, 2025.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 8, 2025, pursuant to a private placement, the Company issued 10,080,690 common shares for gross proceeds of $6,250,028.

During October and November 2025, pursuant to the exercise of 2,871,794 warrants, the Company issued 2,871,794 common shares for gross proceeds of $290,256.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis of making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and further periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

In the preparation of these financial statements, the Company used the same significant accounting judgments and was subject to the same key sources of estimation uncertainty as in the Annual Financial Statements.

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

The Company's financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and IFRIC, effective as of September 30, 2025. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 of the Company's audited financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by IASB that are mandatory for future accounting periods which are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company adopted new accounting standards which are described in Note 3 of the Annual Financial Statements.

RISK FACTORS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Resource exploration is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk. There is a significant probability that the expenditures made by the Company in exploring its properties will not result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals. A high level of ongoing expenditures is required to locate and estimate ore reserves, which are the basis for further development of a property. Capital expenditures to attain commercial production stage are substantial.

For a detailed listing of the risks and uncertainties faced by the Company, please refer to the Company's MD&A for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
