COAST COPPER CORP. (FORMERLY ROUGHRIDER EXPLORATION LIMITED) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Coast Copper Corp. (“ Coast Copper ” or the " Company "), formerly Roughrider Exploration Limited, was incorporated on December 7, 2011 under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. Effective September 28, 2021, the Company changed its name from Roughrider Exploration Limited to Coast Copper Corp. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSX-V ”) as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer under the trading symbol “COCO”. The principal business of the Company is the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties. The principal focus of the Company is exploring its portfolio of mineral properties, including the Empire Mine property located on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia (“ BC ”) and the Golden Triangle properties in central BC, its sole operating and geographical segment.

The address of the Company’s head office is Suite 904 - 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1T2. The address of the Company’s registered office is 2500 - 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V7Y 1B3.

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company realized a loss of $623,729 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (2020: $757,313). At September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,959,674. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

The Company has incurred operating losses in its exploration operations and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their development and fund their operations until commercially successful and future production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. While the Company has been successful in securing financing to date, there can be no assurances that it will be able to do so in the future, therefore, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These condensed interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“ IAS 34 ”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“ IASB ”) using accounting principles consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”) as issued by the IASB.

These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 which include the accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements.

COAST COPPER CORP. (FORMERLY ROUGHRIDER EXPLORATION LIMITED) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

These condensed interim financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

The Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) approved these financial statements on November 26, 2021.

3. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities are financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (“ FVTPL ”) and consist of an investment of 500,000 free-trading common shares of Goldplay Mining Inc. (“ Goldplay ”) (Note 4(a)(iii)). The fair value of marketable securities has been determined by reference to published price quotations in an active market, a Level 1 valuation.

A summary of the changes in FVTPL investments is presented below:

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company examines the various financial instruments to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate, currency and other price risk). The risk related to financial instruments is managed by senior management of the Company under directions approved by the Board. The Company’s Board has not approved the use of derivative financial products.

Financial instruments

Cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at amortized cost as they approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments. Marketable securities are measured using level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

Financial risk factors

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial statements is summarized below:

a) Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with a major Canadian bank. The Company’s only significant receivable at June 30, 2021 relates to a goods and services tax refund from the Government of Canada, who is not considered a default risk.

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities in full. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk and manages it through the management of its capital structure, as outlined below. All of the Company’s current financial liabilities are anticipated to mature within the next fiscal period. The Company intends to settle these with funds from its positive working capital position. The Company remains exposed to liquidity risk.

c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices, and foreign currency fluctuations.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk on cash is minimal because these investments generally have a fixed yield rate. As at September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any interest-bearing debt.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

c) Market risk (continued)

(ii) Foreign currency risk

The Company could be exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency. As at September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any significant exposure to foreign currencies and so considers foreign currency risk insignificant to the Company at present.

(iii) Price risk

The Company may at times have limited indirect exposure to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities.

8. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company’s strategy remains unchanged from the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company considers the items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, or acquire or dispose of assets.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary. The annual budgets are approved by the Board.

In order to maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Company does not pay dividends. The Company's treasury management policy is to invest its cash in highly rated liquid short-term interestbearing investments with an initial term to maturity of twelve months or less.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Key management compensation

Key management personnel at the Company are the Directors and Officers of the Company. Key management personnel, or their related parties, may hold positions in other entities that result in them having control or significant influence over the financial or operating policies of those entities.

These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at their exchange amount, which is the amount agreed upon by the transacting parties.
