The technical information contained in this MD&A has been approved by Stephen Hughes, P.Geo., the Company's Vice President Exploration and a Director, who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

C3 Metals is a junior minerals exploration company focused on creating substantive value through the discovery and development of large copper and gold deposits. The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol CCCM and on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol CUAUF.

C3 Metals holds the 29,631 hectare Jasperoide project, a high-grade copper-gold skarn and porphyry system located in the prolific Andahuaylas-Yauri Porphyry-Skarn belt of southern Peru. Mineralization at the Jasperoide project is hosted in a similar geological setting to the nearby major mining operations at Las Bambas (MMG), Constancia (Hudbay) and Antapaccay (Glencore). The Company also holds the 1,458 hectare Khaleesi project. Khaleesi is a greenfield copper-gold skarn, epithermal and porphyry prospect in the Andahuaylas-Yauri belt of southern Peru located eight kilometres west of the Company's Montana de Cobre mineral resource and immediately adjacent to the larger Jasperoide project.

C3 Metals also holds a 100% interest in mineral exploration licences covering 17,855 hectares and a 50% interest in 9,870 hectares of highly prospective copper-gold terrain in Jamaica. The Company also holds a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on Cascade Copper Corp.'s ("Cascade Copper") Rogers Creek project.

To date, the Company has not determined whether its properties contain mineral resources that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts recorded for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable resources, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these resources and upon attaining future profitable production from the properties or sufficient proceeds from disposition of the properties.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

GENERAL

On January 21, 2026, the Company announced a bought deal private placement for gross proceeds of $20,000,200. On January 22, 2026, the Company announced that, due to investor demand, it had increased the size of its previously announced bought deal private placement to $24,348,280. Under the amended offering, the underwriters were also granted an option to purchase up to an additional 3,320,000 common shares at the same price. On February 11, 2026, the Company announced the closing of its bought deal private placement for gross proceeds of $28,000,500, including the exercise of the over-allotment option. The financing consisted of 25,455,000 common shares issued at a price of $1.10 per share. In connection with the financing, the Company paid the underwriters a fee of $1,680,030, equal to 6% of the proceeds of the financing.

On January 12, 2025, the Company announced that project infrastructure had been restored following hurricane Melissa making landfall over Jamaica on October 28, 2025 (see below) and that full exploration activities in Jamaica had recommenced.

On November 5, 2025, the Company provided an update following hurricane Melissa making landfall over Jamaica on October 28, 2025. The Company reported no injuries and that its team on the ground in Jamaica was safe. The Company's equipment, drill rig, drill core and rocks samples were secured with no damage reported to these items. Only minor damage was sustained at its core logging and storage facilities. As multiple roads to the Company's project areas were impassable, project areas were without power and prepared drill pad sites and access required repair, the Company ceased exploration activities on its Bellas Gate and Super Block projects for approximately eight weeks. During this time, the Company shifted its focus to community assistance. The Company's team also assisted in clearing landslide debris to open road access and helped local community members repair damaged homes where possible.

KHALEESI PROJECT, PERU

On March 9, 2026, the Company announced geochronology results from its 100%-owned Khaleesi copper project in southern Peru. The results indicated that the molybdenite mineralization age is inferred to be approximately 35.8 Ma (age in millions of years), which places one of the Khaleesi hydrothermal events within the same time frame as nearby major porphyry and skarn deposits, including Las Bambas and Antapaccay. The Company noted that the data supports the presence of a multi-phase or long-lived hydrothermal system at Khaleesi.

On February 26, 2026, the Company announced additional drill results from four holes as part of its maiden drilling campaign at the Khaleesi project. The Company completed 12 diamond drill holes for 6,300 metres ("m"), with copper mineralisation observed in all 12 completed holes within a footprint measuring 1,000 m by 500 m. Highlights included 101.1 m at 0.30% copper from 23.4 m downhole depth in hole KHZ5825-001 and 243.7 m at 0.24% copper from 311.6 m downhole depth in hole KHZ5950-001.

On January 21, 2026, the Company announced results from the second drill hole at its Khaleesi project. The hole intersected 51.1 m at 0.54% copper from 339.6 m downhole depth, including 39.1 m at 0.66% copper and within that interval, a higher-grade intercept of 18.0 m at 1.08% copper.

On December 15, 2025, the Company announced the results of the first hole of the maiden drilling program at its Khaleesi project. The Company intersected 269.0 m at 0.30% copper, including 60.4 m at 0.41% copper from 346.0 m downhole (approximately 250.0 m vertical depth).

On September 30, 2025, the Company announced that the first drill rig had been mobilized at the Khaleesi project. The maiden drilling program includes 14 holes with a minimum of 6,300 m. A second drill rig was mobilized to target porphyry-style copper mineralization mapped at surface.

BELLAS GATE PROJECT, JAMAICA

On October 6, 2025, the Company announced that it had commenced a district-scale 3DIP geophysical survey ("3DIP Survey") at its Bellas Gate project. The purpose of the 3DIP Survey is twofold: 1) extend the area covered from 16 square kilometres ("sq. km") to approximately 70 sq. km; and, 2) identify drill

targets to beyond 700 metres depth — well beyond the 300m depth limitation of previous surveys at Bellas Gate. Dias Geophysical has been contracted to undertake the 3DIP Survey. 3DIP chargeability and resistivity results, together with existing magnetic geophysical data and geochemical data, will be used to design the 2026 drill program.

SUPER BLOCK, JAMAICA

On September 29, 2025, the Company announced the results from the first four scout holes of a 2,500 m drilling program.

EXPLORATION PROJECTS, ACTIVITIES AND EXPENDITURES

PERU

JASPEROIDE

Overview

The Company holds a 100% beneficial interest in 54 exploration concessions and has an option agreement to earn a 100% interest in two additional concessions. These 56 exploration concessions are located in the Andahuaylas-Yauri belt of Peru proximal to Las Bambas (MMG), Haquira (First Quantum) and Constancia (Hudbay). The Jasperoide project concessions cover a total area of 29,631 hectares and host a number of copper-gold skarn and porphyry targets at various stages of exploration.

La Bruja Option Agreement

The La Bruja Option Agreement between C3 Peru and Inversiones La Bruja S.A.C. ("La Bruja") provides for an option to earn a $100\%$ interest in the equity shares of La Bruja subject to minimum cumulative exploration expenditures of US$2,000,000 and total cash option payments of US$2,050,000. As at the date of this MD&A, cash option payments totaling US$1,280,000 had been provided, including US$50,000 paid during December 2024 and US$250,000 paid during August 2025. The remaining cash option payments, totalling US$770,000, are due on or before the following dates: US$350,000 by August 31, 2026; and, US$420,000 by August 31, 2027. The minimum cumulative exploration expenditure requirement of US$2,000,000 was met in 2021. Following the earn-in of a $100\%$ interest in the concessions a NSR royalty of $1.5\%$ would be payable to the former shareholders of La Bruja.

Jasperoide project royalty agreements

Three concessions were subject to an option agreement with Compania Minera Ares S.A.C. ("Ares"), a subsidiary of Hochschild Mining PLC ("Hochschild"), where the Company had the right to earn an initial $51\%$ interest in these concessions. During Fiscal 2022, the Company concluded a binding Heads of Agreement and acquired $100\%$ of Hochschild's interest in these three concessions. In connection with the acquisition, the Company granted a $2\%$ NSR royalty in favour of Ares in respect of the Ares mineral concessions subject to the right of the Company to purchase $1\%$ of the NSR (thereby reducing the NSR to

---

1%) for a price of US$1,000,000 at any time. In addition, the 2% NSR royalty applies to a five kilometre area of interest from the borders of the three concessions.

Montana de Cobre

On the eastern side of the Jasperoide property area, the Company identified 13 skarn prospects. Montana de Cobre ("MCZ") is the only one of these skarns the Company has systematically drill tested. MCZ has a near surface Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 51.9 million tonnes at 0.50% total copper and 0.20 g/t gold for 569.1 million pounds of copper and 326,800 ounces of gold based on assumptions and parameters outlined in the NI 43-101 Technical Report titled Jasperoide Copper-Gold Project Cusco Region, Peru, dated July 5, 2023 which is available on the Company's Sedar+ profile.

Please refer to the cautionary note regarding historical results and historical mineral resource estimates provided in this MD&A.

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures

During the six month period ended February 28, 2026, a total of $55,847 was capitalized to the Jasperoide project related to exploration and evaluation costs. Components of total costs capitalized comprised: $20,484 relating to geology and general field costs; $9,521 related to environmental costs; $11,892 related to community and social development; and, $13,950 related to Peruvian IVA tax on these expenditures. As at February 28, 2026, the carrying value of the Jasperoide Project was $38,313,417 (August 31, 2025 - $37,017,277).

KHALEESI

The Company holds a 100% beneficial interest in nine exploration concessions covering a total area of 1,458 hectares forming the Khaleesi project. The Khaleesi project is a sporadically outcropping, mineralized, previously undrilled copper-gold skarn and porphyry prospect with proximal high-grade polymetallic epithermal veins and the mineralization is in a similar geological setting to the nearby major mining operations at Las Bambas (MMG), Constancia and Pampacancha (Hudbay) and Antapaccay (Glencore). Khaleesi sits on a parallel porphyry and 28km magnetite skarn belt approximately 8km to the west of MCZ.

2026 Exploration Results

On August 27, 2025, the Company announced that it had engaged AK Drilling to commence a 14-hole, $6,300\mathrm{m}$ diamond core drilling program and on September 30, 2025, the Company announced that drilling at Khaleesi had formally commenced. This maiden drill program was designed to evaluate copper-gold-molybdenum skarn and porphyry prospects identified through geologic mapping, strong soil geochemistry and coincident Mag and IP chargeability highs (Figure 3).

KHALEESI IP ANOMALIES AT 300m SLICE

Figure 3 - Plan view map of IP chargeability anomalies at 300m depth showing drill collar and hole locations for the initial Khaleesi 14-hole, 6,300m drill program. Note the locations of the strong copper in soil geochemical anomalies over the IP chargeability anomalies. The two IP chargeability anomalies come together at approximately 600m depth.

On December 15, 2025, the Company announced the results of the first hole of the maiden drilling program. Initial results demonstrate the potential for a large, well-mineralized magnetite and garnet skarn body interfingered with multiple intrusive bodies. The mineralized skarn-intrusive contact zone appears well defined by coincident strong chargeability and magnetic anomalies. Importantly, drilling confirms that copper mineralization continues under an extensive area of shallow glacial till cover. Highlights of the first ever hole drilled at the Khaleesi project include:

• Drill hole KHZ5800-001 was drilled to a depth of $626.1\mathrm{m}$ and ended in copper mineralization.
• A broad zone of near-surface, skarn- and porphyry-style copper-molybdenum mineralization reported a downhole intersection of $269.0\mathrm{m}$ at $0.30\%$ copper, including $60.4\mathrm{m}$ at $0.41\%$ copper. Mineralization remains open in all directions and at depth.
• High-grade garnet exoskarn copper-gold-silver mineralization was intersected at the top of hole, reporting $4.0\mathrm{m}$ at $2.03\%$ Cu, $0.17\mathrm{g/t}$ Au and $12.14\mathrm{g/t}$ Ag.
• KHZ5800-001 was collared to test below a small area of outcropping magnetite skarn coincident with large magnetic and chargeability anomalies. Importantly, the hole confirmed copper mineralization extends at least $100\mathrm{m}$ beneath an area of thin glacial till cover.
• Follow-up drill holes are planned to extend and test this mineralization along strike, near surface and at depth, including under the thin glacial till cover.
• High anomalous molybdenum (20 samples $>100$ ppm), cobalt (47 samples $>200$ ppm), silver (11 samples $>2$ g/t Ag) and gold (9 samples $>0.1$ g/t Au) were also reported in this first hole.
• An epithermal vein, similar to those occurring at surface in the area, cross cut the magnetite skarn in drill core and assayed $2.3\mathrm{m}$ at $0.77\%$ Cu, $0.495\mathrm{g/t}$ Au, $92.10\mathrm{g/t}$ Ag, $0.18\%$ Zn and $>1\%$ Pb.

Note: NSA = No Significant Assays. Composite intervals are calculated using length weighted averages based on a combination of lithological breaks and copper assay values according to a 0.15% Cu cutoff and include a maximum of 12 metres of internal dilution. All intervals reported are down hole core lengths, and true thicknesses have yet to be determined. Mineral resource modeling is required before true thicknesses can be estimated.

On January 21, 2026, the Company announced the results of the second hole of the maiden drilling program. The second drill hole at Khaleesi, KHZ5800-002, was collared along the marble-diorite contact and targeted the southwest extension of the copper mineralization intersected in KHZ5800-001 that intersected multiple zones of mineralization. KHZ5800-002 was designed to test underneath magnetite and garnet skarns at surface and the southwest extension of large coincident chargeable and magnetic 3D highs.

KHZ5800-002 intersected 51.1m at $0.54\%$ copper, 0.31 g/t gold, 3.21 g/t silver and 6 ppm molybdenum (0.86% CuEq) from 339.6m downhole depth (approximately 250m vertical depth). This intercept includes 39.1m at $0.66\%$ copper, 0.39 g/t gold, 4.01 g/t silver and 6 ppm molybdenum (1.06% CuEq). Within that interval is 18.0m at $1.08\%$ copper, 0.76 g/t gold, 7.62 g/t silver and 7 ppm molybdenum (1.85% CuEq) (see Table 2).

Note: Copper Equivalent (CuEq) for drill intersections is calculated based on a three-year trailing average for each commodity (2023, 2024 and 2025) which equates to US$ 4.18/lb Cu, US$ 2,600/oz Au, US$ 30.54/oz Ag and US$ 21.46/lb Mo, with 80% metallurgical recoveries assumed for all metals. The formula is: CuEq % = Cu % + (0.907 x Au g/t) + (0.0107 x Ag g/t) + (0.00051 x Mo ppm). Since it is unclear what metals will be the principal products and as Khaleesi is an early-stage greenfield project with no metallurgical test work completed, assuming different recoveries is premature at this stage. As such an 80% recovery rate is justified.

---

The high-grade interval from 339.6 downhole depth (approximately 250m vertical depth) represents a new mineralization style for Khaleesi: Porphyry-style mineralization overprinting garnet skarn. The high-grade copper and gold mineralization is associated with chalcocite, bornite, chalcopyrite and visible gold correlated with porphyry-style sheeted quartz veinlets (Figure 5) which was not observed in KHZ5800-001, which was primarily mineralized in a magnetite skarn. Collectively, the first two drill holes at Khaleesi suggest telescoping and multiple copper-mineralizing events in the broader hydrothermal system.

On February 26, 2026, the Company announced the results of four additional completed holes (see Table 3) at its Khaleesi project. The Company had completed 12 diamond drill holes for $6,300\mathrm{m}$ with copper mineralisation observed in all 12 drill holes within a footprint measuring $1,000\mathrm{m}$ by $500\mathrm{m}$ . Highlights include:

KHZ5825-001 intersected 101.1m at $0.30\%$ copper, 0.045 g/t gold, 0.84 g/t silver and 48 ppm molybdenum (0.37% CuEq) from 23.4m downhole depth;

• including $70.7\mathrm{m}$ at $0.37\%$ copper, $0.049\mathrm{g/t}$ gold, $0.96\mathrm{g/t}$ silver and 24 ppm molybdenum (0.44% CuEq);
  another $71.9\mathrm{m}$ intercept of $0.29\%$ copper, $0.026\mathrm{g / t}$ gold, $0.72\mathrm{g / t}$ silver and 46 ppm molybdenum were encountered at $357.2\mathrm{m}$ downhole depth;
  KHZ5825-001 was collared approximately 500m east of the first drill hole (see Figure 6).

KHZ5950-001 intersected $243.7\mathrm{m}$ at $0.24\%$ copper, $0.020\mathrm{g / t}$ gold, $0.87\mathrm{g / t}$ silver and 41 ppm molybdenum (0.29% CuEq) from approximately 200m vertical depth (311.6m downhole depth);

• including $91.5\mathrm{m}$ at $0.30\%$ copper, $0.024\mathrm{g / t}$ gold, $1.16\mathrm{g / t}$ silver and 60 ppm molybdenum (0.37% CuEq) (see Figure 6);
  KHZ5950-001 was collared 150m north of KHZ5800-001.

Age of Mineralisation at Khaleesi Project

On March 9, 2026, the Company announced geochronology results from its Khaleesi project. The geochronology highlights include:

• Khaleesi is located along the major copper producing Andahuaylas-Yauri Skarn and Porphyry belt where the known porphyry and skarn mineralization lies within a broad range of $39.5 \pm 1.1$ to $28.7 \pm 0.8$ Ma (Perello et al., 2003).
• Khaleesi has no absolute geochronological constraints, but with this new data, the molybdenite mineralization age is inferred to be approximately 35.8 Ma and therefore younger than the gabbroic-diorite intrusives encountered in early drill testing.
• Molybdenite age dating results indicate one of the Khaleesi hydrothermal events is within the same time frame as nearby porphyry and skarn deposits, such as the large Las Bambas and Antapaccay (Coroccohuaya) deposits (see Figure 7).
• The geochronology data suggests there is a multi-phase (or long-lived hydrothermal system) at Khaleesi, and therefore a younger event that could be causing some of the copper and molybdenum mineralisation.

BELLAS GATE

Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation Earn-In Agreement

On February 10, 2025, the Company and Freeport entered into an EIA relating to the Company's Bellas Gate, Browns Hall and Arthurs Seat SEPLs in Jamaica. Under the terms of the EIA, Freeport has been granted a two-stage option to acquire up to a $75\%$ ownership interest in the Bellas Gate, Browns Hall and Arthurs Seat SEPLs by funding cumulative exploration and evaluation expenditures of US$75 million.

Under the first stage of the EIA, Freeport is required to fund US$25 million of exploration and evaluation expenditures over five years to earn a 51% interest in the Bellas Gate, Browns Hall and Arthurs Seat SEPLs. The Company will remain the operator during the first stage earn-in period. Once Freeport has earned its initial 51% interest, Freeport will have the option to become the operator and to fund an additional US$50

---

million of exploration and evaluation expenditures over an additional four year period to earn an additional 24% interest in the Bellas Gate, Browns Hall and Arthurs Seat SEPLs.

As the operator, the Company will receive an operator fee of 10% on all amounts payable to third parties where the contracted amounts are equal to or less than US$200,000, and 5% on all amounts payable to third parties where the contracted amounts exceed US$200,000. The operator fee receivable from Freeport is disclosed as other income in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

As at February 28, 2026, Freeport has maintained their exploration commitments under the EIA.

Bellas Gate and Browns Hall royalty agreements

During September 2016, the Company finalized a Heads of Agreement ("HoA") with OZ Minerals to acquire the remaining 70% interest in the Bellas Gate and Browns Hall SEPLs.

Under the terms of the HoA for the acquisition of the 70% interest in the Bellas Gate and Browns Hall SEPLs, the Company is obligated to: (i) pay OZ Minerals $8.5 million within one year of commencement of commercial production at Bellas Gate and Browns Hall; (ii) pay OZ Minerals an additional $4 million within two years of commencement of commercial production; and, (iii) grant OZ Minerals a 2% NSR with a buyback right of two-thirds of the NSR for $1.3 million with any NSR payments capped at a maximum amount of $20 million.

The Bellas Gate and Browns Hall SEPLs are further subject to a 2% NSR in favour of Clarendon Consolidated Minerals Ltd. ("CCM"). During February 2025, CCM and the Company entered into a Royalty Amendment Agreement ("NSR Agreement") whereby the 2% NSR royalty would be reduced to 1% by making payments to CCM as follows: US$95,000 within 10 days of the effective date of the NSR Agreement (paid February 2025); US$75,000 prior to the first anniversary (paid February 2026); US$82,500 prior to the second anniversary; US$90,750 prior to the third anniversary; US$99,825 prior to the fourth anniversary; and, US$500,000 prior to the fifth anniversary of the NSR Agreement. The Company retains a right of first refusal on the remaining 1% NSR after all payments have been made.

Arthurs Seat royalty agreement

The Company acquired a 100% interest in the Arthurs Seats SEPLs from OZ Minerals. Under the terms of the original purchase agreement, the Company was obligated to provide OZ Minerals a single payment of $1.5 million within one year of commencement of commercial production on the Arthurs Seat SEPL and a 2% NSR with a buyback of one-half of the NSR for $500,000. During May 2019, the Company completed amendments to the agreement with OZ Minerals to: (i) waive the $1.5 million payment within one year of commencement of commercial production if the mineral product is less than 10,000 tonnes per annum; and, (ii) reduce the 2% NSR to a 1% NSR with a buyback of one-half for $250,000.

Exploration and evaluation activities

On October 6, 2025, the Company announced that it had commenced a district-scale 3DIP Survey. The purpose of the 3DIP Survey is twofold: 1) extend the area covered from 16 sq. km to approximately 70 sq. km; and, 2) identify drill targets to beyond 700 m depth — well beyond the 300 m depth limitation of

previous surveys at Bellas Gate. Dias Geophysical has been contracted to undertake the 3DIP Survey. 3DIP chargeability and resistivity results, together with existing magnetic geophysical data and geochemical data, will be used to design the 2026 drill program. Highlights of the program include:

• Historical IP data shows strong correlation of IP Chargeability anomalies coincident with copper-in soil and airborne magnetic anomalies within three major porphyry belts.
• The 3DIP Survey will cover an area measuring approximately $16\mathrm{km}$ by up to $6\mathrm{km}$ wide (Figure 9).
• The 3DIP Survey aims to penetrate deeper into known porphyry systems with reliability down to $700\mathrm{m}$ and potentially to $1,000\mathrm{m}$ .
• The Company plans to evaluate the geophysical data in real time to generate near surface and deep drill targets for the 2026 drilling campaigns.

SUPER BLOCK

Overview

On February 24, 2024, the Company entered into a joint arrangement with Geophysx Jamaica Ltd. ("Geophysx") for the exploration and development of the Super Block project. The Super Block project has combined Geophysx's SEPLs covering the past producing Pennants Mine and surrounding areas with the Company's Main Ridge SEPL and a portion of its Arthurs Seat SEPL. This joint arrangement is structured as a joint operation, whereby the participants share control and have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangement.

The Company and Geophysx have agreed to share the costs and any future revenues associated with the exploration and development activities relative to each participant's interest, which is initially a 50% participating interest for each participant. If a participant fails to contribute their share of funding, their participating interest will be diluted on a proportionate basis. In the case that either participant is diluted to a 5% interest, such interest will be converted to a 3% NSR royalty on the Super Block project of which 2% can be repurchased for US$2,000,000.

A Management Committee has been established and is responsible for determining the overall policies, objectives, procedures, methods, and actions under the agreement. Each participant has elected two members to the Management Committee, and the voting power of the members is proportionate to their respective participating interests. For a decision to be made, a majority vote is required.

The Company is the operator of the Super Block project and will conduct all exploration and evaluation activities, as well as be responsible for proposing annual work plans and budgets to be approved by the Management Committee. The Company will receive a 5% operator administrative fee up until such time that a production decision is made on the Super Block project. The operator fee is offset against office, general, and administrative expense.

On closing of the agreement, the Company transferred the carrying value of the Main Ridge SEPL and the relevant portion of the Arthurs Seat SEPL, with a combined carrying value of $1,446,725, to the Super Block project within exploration and evaluation assets. Subsequent to the initial contribution of the SEPLs to the joint arrangement, the Company's share of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses related to the joint arrangement will be included in the consolidated financial statements on a proportionate basis.

As part of the conditions subsequent to closing, both participants received approval for the subdivision of their existing SEPLs by the Jamaican Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining and formed the new Super Block SEPLs. On August 29, 2024, GP C3 JV Limited was incorporated to hold the Super Block SEPLs in trust with each participant holding 50% of its common shares. All conditions subsequent under the agreement have been satisfied.

2025 Exploration results at Super Block

On June 3, 2025, the commenced an initial 14 diamond drill hole, $2,500\mathrm{m}$ program on its Super Block Project and on September 29, 2025, the Company announced the results from the first four scout holes this program. Highlights include:

• Drilling has initially targeted the Pennants East Zone ("PEZ"), where gold is highly anomalous in soils and coincides with a $1.5\mathrm{km}$ east-west trending radiometric (potassium) anomaly.
• Four holes were completed at the eastern end of PEZ, and all holes intercepted gold mineralization hosted by epithermal style veins, stockworks and fault zones.
• Drilling at PEZ confirms the presence of multiple zones of epithermal veinlets within a broader mineralized envelope. Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike.
• The Company plans to continue to test high priority targets at Super Block with a further 10 scout holes along the $5\mathrm{km}$ gold trend.
• Select assay results from the first four scout diamond drill holes are presented in Table 4 below:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity depends on existing cash reserves, supplemented as necessary by equity financings. From inception to date, the Company has incurred losses from operations and has had negative cash flows from operating activities. As at February 28, 2026, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $30,839,008 (August 31, 2025 – $11,851,439) and had a working capital surplus of $30,063,582 (August 31, 2025 – $10,986,228). The Company has financed its operations primarily with equity financing.

Funds on hand currently are sufficient to support the Company's budget for planned exploration costs, costs of acquiring new exploration properties and corporate costs over the coming year. However, the Company's exploration programs remain subject to revision upward or downward depending on the results from ongoing and future exploration programs. These conditions raise material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The Company will require additional future funding to advance and retain mineral exploration property interests and to meet ongoing requirements for general operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise required financing in the future whether through equity or debt financing; through joint ventures; or, the sale of property assets in the future.

Contractual Obligations

Except for the contractual obligation noted below, the Company does not have any fixed contractual obligations or commitments for capital or operating leases, purchase obligations or other long-term commitments. Any commitments under exploration option agreements or joint arrangement agreements are cancellable at the Company's option but would result in forfeiture of rights under such agreements.

Community Agreement

On August 7, 2025, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Molino Azul S.A.C, executed a full surface access and drilling rights agreement with the Cancahuani community at its Khaleesi project ("Community Agreement"). Under the terms of the Community Agreement, the Company will pay total compensation related to specific social programs benefiting the community of approximately $308,000 (PEN 800,000) payable in three tranches as follows: $123,200 (PEN 320,000) payable on the date of the Community Agreement (paid); $92,400 (PEN 240,000) payable during the third week of November 2025 (paid); and, $92,400 (PEN 240,000) payable during the last week of March 2026 (paid).

Currency risk

The Company's cash is held in Canadian dollar, Jamaican dollar, US dollar and Peruvian Soles accounts. The Company is exposed to financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates with respect to the US dollar. As at February 28, 2026, the Company held cash in United States dollars of US$1,204,441 equivalent to $1,644,930 (August 31, 2025 - US$1,010,911, equivalent to $1,389,234). The Company has not utilized derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Market Risk

The prices of copper, gold, silver and other metals fluctuate. The future direction of the price of any metal or mineral will depend on numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including international, economic and political trends, the current wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of commodities, and therefore on the economic viability of the Company's properties, cannot accurately be predicted. As the Company is only at the exploration stage, it is not yet possible for it to adopt specific strategies for controlling the impact of fluctuations in the price of the commodities for which it explores.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND COMPENSATION OF KEY MANAGEMENT

The Company has contracts for management and geological services with its officers, directors and companies controlled by its officers and directors. Key management includes all persons named or performing the duties of CEO, CFO, Vice President, and Director. Compensation awarded to key management is set out in note 8 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2026 and, 2025.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures in the notes thereto. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The most significant items requiring the use of management estimates and valuation assumptions are related to the recoverable value of mineral exploration properties and deferred exploration expenditures; the valuation of equity instruments including warrants, broker warrants and stock options; and, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Details with respect to critical accounting estimates, judgments and estimation uncertainties are disclosed in note 3 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024.

NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Certain pronouncements were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) or the IFRS Interpretations Committee (Committee) that are mandatory for accounting years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. They are not applicable or do not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company and have been excluded from the summary below.

Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures

In May 2024, amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures were issued to respond to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements not only for financial institutions but also for corporate entities. These amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion; add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some financial instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets), and; update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material impact on its operations or consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, was issued to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities. The standard, which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, impacts the presentation of primary financial statements and notes, including the statement of losses where companies will be required to present separate categories of income and expense for operating, investing, and financing activities with prescribed subtotals for each new category. The standard will also require management-defined performance measures to be explained and included in a separate note within the consolidated financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements, and requires retrospective application. The new standard will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the consolidated financial statements but its impacts on presentation and disclosure are expected to be pervasive. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties due to the nature of its business and the present stage of development of its business. Investment in the natural resource industry in general, and the mineral exploration and development sector in particular, involves a great deal of risk and uncertainty. Current and potential investors should give special consideration to the risk factors involved. These factors are discussed more fully in the annual Management's Discussion and Analysis dated December 11, 2025 which is filed on SEDAR+.
