Overview

The Company was incorporated on February 18, 2021 under the laws of the province of Ontario. Auric is engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration and development of mineral projects.

The Company holds the exclusive option to acquire a 100% interest in the GoodEye Property which is located approximately 13 km to 16 km southwest of the town of Rossland, British Columbia, Canada. The property consists of three contiguous Mineral Claims covering approximately 1,906.95 hectares located in the Trail Creek Mining Division of British Columbia.


Auric commissioned and filed via SEDAR independent technical reports prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) with respect to the GoodEye Property. As of the period ended April 30, 2025, no Phase 1 work program recommended in the NI 43-101 reports has been started.

The Company is pleased to report the successful completion of Phase 1 fieldwork at its Bub Uranium Property in Labrador's Central Mineral Belt ("CMB"). In spring 2025, a four-person geological team collected 60 lake-bottom sediment samples and 9 rock samples over four field days operating out of Goose Bay, Labrador.

About the Bub Property

  • Location: 55 km southwest of Postville, NL and 200 km northeast of Auric's Route 500 Project.
  • Geology: Situated in the southern CMB along regional structures hosting deposits such as Michelin, Mustang and Jacques Lake.
  • Targeting Rationale: Radiometric anomalies correlate with anomalous uranium in historical lake-sediment data within a northeast-trending, structurally controlled corridor.

Phase 1 Sampling Highlights

  • 60 lake bottom sediment samples systematically collected across high-priority radiometric anomalies and structural trends.
  • 9 rock samples taken from exposed outcrop coincident with geophysical and geochemical targets.
  • Program executed safely and on schedule by a crew of four using a chartered helicopter based in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador.
  • Analytical results are expected in the coming weeks; the Company will report findings once received and interpreted.
  • The Phase 1 sampling described above directly tests these radiometric and structural targets and will refine Auric's understanding of uranium dispersion across the Property.

Overall Performance

Because Auric is involved in the exploration of mineral properties without any known economic quantities of mineralization, it has not generated any revenue to date and is unlikely to realize revenue in the foreseeable future. Management anticipates that it will incur expenses in connection with the exploration of its mineral properties, compliance with applicable securities rules and continuous disclosure requirements, and general and administrative costs.

In the six-month period ended April 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $910,030, compared to a net loss of $107,152 during the same period in fiscal 2024. The increase in net loss in the most recently completed period is primarily due to exploration and evaluation, professional fees, legal fees, compensation for directors, officers and consultants and auditors' fees. The Company has incurred higher than normal fees due to the share acquisition costs of Central Uranium Resource Corp. ("CURC"), and Phase 1 fieldwork at its Bub Uranium Property in Labrador's Central Mineral Belt. The Company will further pursue evaluation and exploration of the mineral properties as it continues to secure the necessary funding.

Summary of Quarterly Results

The following is selected financial information from the Company's two most recent fiscal years:

Liquidity

As at April 30, 2025, the Company had current assets of $517,938 and current liabilities of $337,315, resulting in a working capital of $180,623. Total shareholders' equity was $2,059,574 as at April 30, 2025.

As the Company will not generate funds from operations for the foreseeable future, the Company is primarily reliant upon the sale of equity securities, issuance of debt in order to fund operations. Since inception, the Company has funded limited operations through the issuance of equity securities and debt on a private placement basis.

Capital Resources

The Company will require $125,000 in cash consideration and $210,000 in exploration and development cost in the next 12 months for the Route 500, BUB, Caboose, Kawip and Manic, and Portage uranium property.

The Company also anticipates spending $340,000 to cover anticipated compensation for directors, officers and consultants, general and administrative costs, professional fees and overhead expenses for the next 12-month period. At April 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $451,263, which is not sufficient to cover all expected exploration, operations and administrative expenses for the next twelve months. The Company cannot offer


any assurance that expenses will not exceed management's expectations. The Company may require additional funds and will be dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing, the availability of which cannot be assured.

Although the Company currently has limited capital resources, the Company anticipates that additional funding will come from equity financing from the sale of the Company's shares or through debt financing.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Management and Related Party Transactions

The Company's Board of Directors consists of Christopher Huggins, Scott Hayduk, and Michel Boivin. Currently, Christopher Huggins acts as President and Chief Executive Officer and Kirill Samokhin acts as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Jan Urata acts as Secretary of the Company.

Since its inception on February 18, 2021, the Company has entered into the following transactions with its directors and officers:

  1. The Company issued an aggregate of 3,290,000 common shares to its directors and officers for consideration of $0.01 per share;
  2. As at April 30, 2025, the Company owed $6,986 (April 30, 2024 - $6,986) for reimbursements owed to a prior Director of the Company. The amount owing is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.
  3. As at April 30, 2025, the Company owed $74,500 (April 30, 2024 - $74,500) to a prior Director of the Company. The amount owing is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on October 31, 2025.

Critical Accounting Estimates

A detailed summary of all of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. Some of these policies are also described in Note 2 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2025.

Basis of Presentation

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the interpretations of the IFRS interpretations committee ("IFRIC") in effect at April 30, 2025. The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

Use of Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the Company's financial statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could 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

Page 8


revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation and judgment uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting year, relate to:

(i) Going concern

The assessment of the Company's ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance. There is a material uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's principal source of cash is from private placements. The Company is dependent on raising funds in order to have sufficient capital to be able to identify, evaluate and then acquire an interest in assets or a business.

(ii) The recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities

Tax interpretations, regulations, and legislation are subject to change. The determination of income tax expense and deferred tax involves judgment and estimates as to the future taxable earnings, expected timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and interpretations of laws in the countries in which the Company operates. The Company is subject to assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. Changes in these estimates may materially affect the final amount of deferred taxes or the timing of tax payments.

Financial Instruments

The Company follows IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, which applies a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value. The classification is based on two criteria: the Company's business objectives for managing the assets; and whether the financial instruments' contractual cash flows represent "solely payments of principal and interest" on the principal amount outstanding (the "SPPI test"). Financial assets are required to be reclassified only when the business model under which they are managed has changed. All reclassifications are to be applied prospectively from the reclassification date. Financial liabilities under IFRS 9 are generally classified and measured at fair value at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Financial Assets

The Company initially recognizes financial assets at fair value on the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

Classification and measurement under IFRS 9, requires financial assets to be initially measured at fair value. In the case of a financial asset not categorized as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), transaction costs are included. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in net income (loss). Subsequent classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the Company's business objective for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset:

(i) Amortized cost – Financial assets held for collection of contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI test are measured at amortized cost. Interest income is recognized as Other Income (expense) in the financial statements, and gains/losses are recognized in net income (loss) when the asset is derecognized or impaired.

Page 9


(ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") – Financial assets held to achieve a particular business objective other than short-term trading are designated at FVOCI. IFRS 9 also provides the ability to make an irrevocable election at initial recognition of a financial asset, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, to designate an equity investment that would otherwise be classified as FVTPL and that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration arising from a business combination to be classified as FVOCI. There is no recycling of gains or losses through net income (loss). Upon derecognition of the asset, accumulated gains or losses are transferred from other comprehensive income ("OCI") directly to Deficit.

(iii) FVTPL – Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL.

The Company measures cash and deposits at amortized cost.

Financial Liabilities

The Company initially recognizes financial liabilities at fair value on the date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities is determined based on their classification as follows:

(i) FVTPL Derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that do not meet hedge accounting criteria are classified as FVTPL. Gains or losses on these types of financial liabilities are recognized in net income (loss).

(ii) Amortized cost – All other financial liabilities are classified as amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in net income (loss) when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process.

The Company measures accounts payable and accrued liabilities at amortized cost.

Classification of financial instruments

IFRS 7, Financial instruments: disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs in measuring fair value as the following:

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. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The classification of a financial instrument in the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation assets include the costs of acquiring mineral concession and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. All costs related to

Page 10


the acquisition of mineral properties are capitalized by property as an intangible asset. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Once a license or other right to explore an area has been secured, all direct costs related to the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral property interests are capitalized into intangible asset on a property-by-property basis until such time that technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource has been determined for a property, in which case the capitalized exploration and evaluation costs are transferred and capitalized into property, plant and equipment. The Company records expenditures on exploration and evaluation activities at cost. Government tax credits received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs incurred and capitalized on the related property.

Proceeds received from a partial sale or option of any interest in a property are credited against the carrying value of the property. When the proceeds exceed the carrying costs, the excess is recorded in profit or loss in the period the excess is received. When all of the interest in a property is sold, subject only to any retained royalty interests which may exist, the accumulated property costs are written-off, with any gain or loss included in profit or loss in the period the transfer takes place.

Taxes

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is recorded using the liability method, providing for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Temporary differences are not provided for relating to goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, it does not recognize the asset. The Company has assessed that it is improbable that such assets will be realized and has accordingly not recognized a value for deferred taxes.

Functional currency

The Company follows IAS 21 The effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates when accounting for foreign Exchange Rates and has determined that its functional currency is the Canadian dollar.

Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Warrants

When the Company issues private placement units, the value attributed to the warrants is measured using the residual method. This method allocates value first to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and the residual to the less easily measurable component, if any. The Company considers the fair value of its shares to be the more easily measurable component and is valued with reference to the market price. The residual value is attributed to the warrants, if any is recorded as a separate component of equity.

Earnings (Loss) per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method.

Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the reporting periods. However, in periods where a net loss is reported, outstanding options and warrants are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as they are anti-dilutive and as a result diluted loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation. An amount equivalent to the discounted provision is capitalized within tangible fixed assets and is depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

Risk Factors

General

The Company is in the business of exploring and, if warranted, developing mineral properties, which is a highly speculative endeavor. A purchase of any of the securities offered hereunder involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by purchasers whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. An investment in the securities offered hereunder should not constitute a significant portion of an individual's investment portfolio and should only be made by persons who can afford a total loss of their investment. Prospective investors should evaluate carefully the following risk factors associated with an investment in the Company's securities prior to purchasing any of the securities offered hereunder.

Going concern

The assessment of the Company's ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance. There is a material uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is dependent on raising funds in order to have sufficient capital to be able to identify, evaluate and then acquire an interest in assets or a business.

Limited Operating History

The Company has no history of earnings. There are no known commercial quantities of mineral reserves on any properties optioned by the Company. There is no guarantee that economic quantities of mineral reserves will be discovered on the Property by the Company in the near future or at all. If the Company does not generate revenue, it may be unable to sustain its operations in which case it may become insolvent and you may lose your investment.


Page 14

Dilution

Common Shares, including special warrants, subscription receipts and other securities to purchase, to convert into or to exchange into Common Shares, may be created, issued, sold and delivered on such terms and conditions and at such times as the Board may determine. In addition, the Company may issue additional Common Shares from time to time. The issuance of these Common Shares will result if dilution to holders of Common Shares.

Speculative Nature of Mineral Exploration

Resource exploration is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital. There is no assurance that the Company's mineral exploration activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore. The long-term profitability of the Company's operations will in part be directly related to the costs and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.

Acquisition of Additional Mineral Properties

If the Company abandons the exploration and development of the Property, there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire another mineral property of merit or that such an acquisition would be approved by the Exchange. There is also no guarantee that the Exchange will approve the acquisition of any additional properties by the Company, whether by way of option or otherwise, should the Company wish to acquire any additional properties.

Commercial Ore Deposits

The Property is in the exploration stage only and is without a known body of commercial ore. Development of the Property would follow only if favourable exploration results are obtained. The business of exploration for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

Uninsurable Risks

In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, certain risks, and in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and the Company may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.


Page 15

Permits and Government Regulations

The future operations of the Company may require permits from various federal, provincial and local governmental authorities and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, export, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, land use, environmental protections, mine safety and other matters. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals that may be required to undertake exploration activity or commence construction or operation of mine facilities on the Property. Because phase 1 and 2 recommended exploration programs on the property will consist of prospecting, mapping, sampling, trench channel sampling, and geophysical surveys, and because these techniques involve minimal land disturbance, no permits or licenses will be required at these stages.

Environmental and Safety Regulations and Risks

Environmental laws and regulations may affect the operations of the Company. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality. They provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to rehabilitate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. The permission to operate can be withdrawn temporarily where there is evidence of serious breaches of health and safety standards, or even permanently in the case of extreme breaches. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous owners of acquired properties or noncompliance with environmental laws or regulations. In all major developments, the Company generally relies on recognized designers and development contractors from which the Company will, in the first instance, seek indemnities. The Company intends to minimize risks by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and operating to applicable environmental standards. There is a risk that environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous, making the Company's operations more expensive.

Land Reclamation

Although variable depending on location and the governing authority, land reclamation requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies (as well as companies with mining operations) in order to minimize long term effects of land disturbance. Reclamation may include requirements to control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents, treat ground and surface water to pre-established standards, and reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance landforms and vegetation and address impacts on biodiversity, communities and Indigenous land and resource rights. Proper environmental assessments, stakeholder engagement and risk management strategies are critical to ensure the long-term sustainability and success of land reclamation projects. In order to carry out reclamation obligations imposed on the Issuer in connection with its potential exploration activities, the Company must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent on further exploration and development programs. The Issuer plans to set up a provision for its reclamation obligations on its properties, as appropriate, but this provision may not be adequate. If the Company is required to carry out unanticipated reclamation projects, its financial position could be adversely affected.

Mineral Titles

The Company is satisfied that evidence of title to the Property is adequate and acceptable by prevailing industry standards with respect to the current stage of exploration on the Property. The Company may face challenges to the title the Property or subsequent properties it may acquire, which may prove to be costly to defend or could impair the advancement of the Company's business plan. The Company relies on title information and/or representations and warranties provided by the Company's grantors. If the Company loses a commercially viable property, such a loss could lower the Company's future revenues or cause the Company to cease


operations if the property represented all or a significant portion of the Company's Ore reserves at the time of loss. Mineral titles in British Columbia are acquired and maintained through Mineral Titles Online (MTO), a computerized system that provides map-based staking. The Company undertook a search of the tenure data on the MTO website which confirms the geospatial locations of the claim boundaries title information. No assurances can be given that title defects to the GoodEye Property or any future properties in which the Company may seek to acquire an interest do not exist. The GoodEye Property has not been surveyed and may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, interests or land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects. Such property is also subject to annual compliance with reporting and/or filing requirements and the payment of property taxes and/or assessment or maintenance fees. Other parties may dispute the Company's title to the GoodEye Property or other properties. While the Company has investigated title to the GoodEye Property, this should not be construed as a guarantee of title. If title defects do exist, it is possible that the Company may lose all or a portion of its right, title, estate and interest in and to the GoodEye Property or future properties, when and if earned, to which the title defect relates.

Loss of Interest in Properties

The Company depends on the GoodEye Project, and its ability to maintain an interest in the property will be dependent on its ability to raise additional funds by equity financing. Failure to obtain additional financing may result in the Issuer being unable to make the periodic payments required to keep the Property in good standing and could result in the delay or postponement of further exploration and or the partial or total loss of the Company's interest in the properties transferred to or optioned by the Company.

Failure to obtain additional financing may result in the Company being unable to complete the required work required to keep the Property interests in good standing and could result in the delay or postponement of further exploration and or the partial or total loss of the Company's interest in the Property.

Aboriginal Title

The Property or other properties owned or optioned by the Company may in the future be the subject of First Nations land claims. The legal nature of aboriginal land claims is a matter of considerable complexity. The impact of any such claim on the Company's ownership interest in the properties optioned or owned by the Company cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty and no assurance can be given that a broad recognition of aboriginal rights in the area in which the properties optioned or purchased by the Company are located, by way of a negotiated settlement or judicial pronouncement, would not have an adverse effect on the Company's activities. Even in the absence of such recognition, the Company may at some point be required to negotiate with First Nations in order to facilitate exploration and development work on the properties optioned or owned by the Company.

Fluctuating Mineral Prices

The Company's revenues in the future, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the extraction and sale of precious and base minerals and metals, which in turn depend on the results of the Company's exploration on these properties and whether development will be commercially viable or even possible. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of metals disc overed, if any. Metal prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. Consequently, the economic viability of any of the Company's exploration projects cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in mineral prices.

Competition

The mining industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes for the acquisition of mineral properties, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than the Company. The competition in the mineral exploration and development business could have an adverse

Page 16


effect on the Company's ability to hire or maintain experienced and expert personnel or acquire suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.

Management

The success of the Company is currently largely dependent on the performance of its directors and officers. The loss of the services of any of these persons could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects. There is no assurance the Company can maintain the services of its directors, officers or other qualified personnel required to operate its business.

Financing Risks

The Company has no history of significant earnings and, due to the nature of its business, there can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable. The Company has paid no dividends on its common shares since incorporation and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The only present source of funds available to the Company is through the sale of its securities. Even if the results of exploration are encouraging, the Company may not have sufficient funds to conduct the further exploration that may be necessary to determine whether or not a commercially mineable deposit exists on the properties owned by the Company. While the Company may generate additional working capital through further equity offerings or through the sale or possible syndication of the property owned by the Company, there is no assurance that any such funds will be available. At present it is impossible to determine what amounts of additional funds, if any, may be required.

Negative Cash Flows From Operations

It is highly likely the Company may have negative cash flow in any future period and as a result, the Company will need to use available cash, including proceeds of future financings to fund any such negative cash flow.

Resale of Common Shares

The continued operation of the Company will be dependent upon its ability to generate operating revenues and to procure additional financing. There can be no assurance that any such revenues can be generated or that other financing can be obtained. If the Company is unable to generate such revenues or obtain such additional financing, any investment in the Company may be lost. In such event, the probability of resale of the Common Shares purchased would be diminished.

Price Volatility of Publicly Traded Securities

In recent years, the securities markets in Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. It may be anticipated that any quoted market for the Common Shares will be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company in creating revenues, cash flows or earnings. If an active public market for the Common Shares does not develop, the liquidity of a shareholder's investment may be limited and the share price may decline below the initial purchase price.

Lack of Market for the Securities and Listing ona Stock Exchange

There is presently no public market in our shares. There can be no assurance that we will be successful at developing a public market or in having our common stock quoted on a quotation facility. There are risks associated with obtaining a quotation, including that broker dealers will not be willing to make a market in our shares, or to request that our shares be quoted on a quotation service. In addition, even if a quotation is

Page 17


obtained, a quotation services are often characterized by low trading volumes, and price volatility, which may make it difficult for an investor to sell our common stock on acceptable terms. If trades in our common stock are not quoted on a quotation facility, it may be very difficult for an investor to find a buyer for their shares in our Company.

Risks Related to Potential Changes in the Issuer's Use of Funds

Investors should consider the risks related to potential changes in the issuer's use of funds such as misuse of funds, change in business strategy, delays in project completion, market changes or political and regulatory risks. It is important for investors to carefully review the issuer's use of funds and the potential risks associated with any changes to the use of funds. Investors should also consider the issuer's track record and experience in executing similar projects or initiatives.

Climate Change

Climate change can result in physical risks such as flooding, sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and natural disasters. These risks can damage the issuer's assets and disrupt operations. Also, climate change-related risks could result in legal and regulatory action against the issuer. The issuer may face regulatory changes or increased costs associated with carbon pricing or emissions reductions. It is important for investors to carefully consider the potential impact of climate change on the issuer's operations and its ability to manage and mitigate these risks.

Potential Litigation

The Issuer may face litigation as a result of non-compliance with regulations, including environmental, safety, employment practices and financial regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to fines, legal fees, and reputational damage.

Conflicts of Interest

The company's directors and officers may be engaged in the search for additional business opportunities on behalf of other corporations, and situations may arise where these directors and officers will be in direct competition with the Company. Conflicts, if any, will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Some of the directors and officers of the Company are or may become directors or officers of other companies engaged in other business ventures. In order to avoid the possible conflict of interest which may arise between the directors' duties to the Company and their duties to the other companies on whose boards they serve, the directors and officers of the Company have agreed to the following:

  • Participation in other business ventures offered to the directors will be allocated between the various companies and on the basis of prudent business judgment and the relative financial abilities and needs of the companies to participate;
  • No commissions or other extraordinary consideration will be paid to such directors and officers; and business opportunities formulated by or through other companies in which the directors and officers are involved will not be offered to the Company except on the same or better terms than the basis on which they are offered to third party participants.

Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

Tax Issues

Income tax consequences in relation to the Common Shares will vary according to circumstances of each

Page 18


investor. Prospective investors should seek independent advice from their own tax and legal advisers prior to investing in Common Shares of the Company.

Dividends

The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends on its Common Shares in the foreseeable future.
