ABOUT E-POWER RESOURCES INC.
E-Power Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 18, 2018. The corporate head office is located at Suite 400, 3 Place Ville-Marie, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Effective January 16, 2023, the Company trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol EPR.
The principal business activity of the Company is the exploration for mineral resources in the province of Quebec, Canada. Exploration activities consist of searching for resources suitable for commercial exploitation by researching and analyzing an area's historic exploration data, by conducting topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies, and by exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling.
CORPORATE OVERVIEW AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE
Corporate Overview
E-Power Resources Inc. is a public Québec Corporation based in Montréal and focused on the delineation of graphite resources in Quebec. The company has 2 properties namely Tetepisca and Turgeon. The focus for the Company is flake graphite exploration and delineation on the Tetepisca property. The Company has evaluated the flake graphite potential of the Turgeon property and concludes that there is little potential to develop an economically viable flake graphite deposit on the property. The Company has no intention of completing further work on the Turgeon property and the Turgeon property is a non-core asset. The Company did a small amount of work on the Quatre Milles East property during the year ended September 30, 2024 with results if any to be communicated.
Tetepisca :
Tetepisca, Quebec, Canada (the “Tetepisca Property”), our Flagship property, is located in the North Shore region of the province approximately 225 kilometers north of the town of Baie-Comeau. Our target on the Tetepisca property is flake graphite. The Tetepisca Property consists of 230 claims covering a total area of 12,620 hectares located in the Tetepisca Graphite District (“TGD”). Graphite resources in the TGD include the Lac Gueret deposit, the Lac Gueret Extension deposit, and the Lac Tetepisca deposit.
The Company acquired its original position in the TGD through a purchase agreement with local prospectors during the winter of 2019. The purchase price was $10,000; and 200,000 new common shares issued when a technical report commissioned to include a mineral resources estimate in accordance with NI 43-101 is initiated; and a royalty in an amount equal to 1.5% of all Net Smelter Returns (NSR) with a right to repurchase at any time 0.5% of the NSR for $500,000. The Company completed a program of prospecting, trenching, and sampling on the claims during the summer of 2019. During 2019 and 2020, the Company identified prospective claims in the TGD and acquired these claims directly by staking.
The Company has compiled, reviewed, and interpreted all historical exploration data and information covering the claims and has prioritized 5 targets areas for follow-up exploration. The targets at the Tetepisca property have been chosen based on strong electromagnetic response coupled with lower total magnetic intensity and supported by positive historical drilling and sampling results.
Exploration work completed during Q1 2022 ended December 31, 2021 included geological mapping and sampling and ground electromagnetic ("EM") surveys. The geological mapping and sampling was completed during October and covered parts 4 of the prioritized target areas. Grab samples taken ranged from less than detection limit (.025% Cg) to 47.6% Cg. The work confirmed the presence of flake graphite at the selected targets. The ground EM survey was completed over the period October 18 to November 15, 2021. The survey consisted of a total of 18.4 line kilometers of horizontal loop EM surveying covering part of 4 of the priority target areas. The ground results provide higher resolution of the position and orientation of the conductors relative to the historical airborne survey.
During 2019, the Company completed a surface exploration program that included geological mapping, prospecting, and sampling. No work was completed at Tetepisca due to Covid 19 during 2020. During the 4th quarter of 2021 and the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2022 the Company completed geological mapping and prospecting, a ground geophysical survey over selected targets on the property, and an airborne geophysical survey covering approximately 80% of the property. Since completion of this work management has completed compilation and interpretation of all data, historical and collected by the Company, on the property. Management is of the opinion that the Tetepisca property provides an opportunity for discovery and delineation of a flake graphite resource and anticipates advancing quickly through the Phase 1 exploration program recommended in the technical report to Phase 2 drilling. As mentioned above, the results of the summer and fall of 2023 drilling and exploration program were released on February 14, 2024. The Company has mobilized its exploration crew to the Tetepisca Graphite Project and the 2024 exploration program is underway. The objectives of the exploration program are: 1. Detailed mapping and sampling of 4-5 selected surface showings with samples of roughly 200-250 kgs each. 2. Early stage geological and geophysical prospecting at selected target areas on our large land position. 3. Collect a bulk sample of 20-30 tons collectively from 3-5 selected target areas based on the results of the Phase 1 detailed mapping and sampling. These 20-30 tons will enable the Company to have an inventory of material available for processing to produce a graphite concentrate available to users. 4. Preliminary, near-surface, evaluation of selected showings using a man-portable drill.
During Q2 2022, a high resolution airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was completed over approximately three quarters of the Tetepisca property. The Company is currently planning a drill program. The Company did not have any field operations at Tetepisca during Q1 2023. The Company completed a drilling and exploration program in the summer and fall of 2023. A total of 2,650.5 meters diameter diamond drilling (NQ core size) was completed in 18 holes and 19.35 meters were completed in 6 holes using a man-portable drill (BQ core size). A total of 650 (approximately 1 meter length) samples were analyzed for Carbon as Graphite ALS Geochemistry laboratory. The exploration was completed primarily at four target areas previously prioritized by the Company including the Graphi-Centre, 1078, and Southern targets, and the Captain Cosmos group of claims. All holes drilled intersected graphite mineralization. Thirty percent of the samples returned Cg values above 1%. Results of the program were released on February 12, 2024.
During June 2024, the Company initiated its 2024 field program at Tetepisca. Work completed during June includes the collection of a total of 1,037 kg of graphite mineralization from 4 showing across three target areas in the southern part of the property and geological and geophysical prospecting on the northern property claims. The 4 samples were shipped to Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. for metallurgical test work. Grab samples collected during prospecting the northern claims have been sent to ALS Minerals in Val d'Or for carbon-graphite analyses.

The Company signed an option agreement (the "Agreement") dated January 31, 2024 (the "Effective Date") with Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. ("Volt"). Under the terms of the Agreement, during the period from the Effective Date to December 31, 2024 (the "Expenditure Period"), Volt agreed to incur a total exploration expenditures of $680,000 on the Tetepisca Project (the "Property") and upon the signing of this Agreement, the Company granted an option to Volt to acquire an undivided five percent (5%) interest in the mineral claims of the Property (the "Claims"). In exchange, the Company issued 1,600,000 common shares valued at $96,000 to Volt on March 20, 2024. The Agreement was terminated subsequent to the year ended September 30, 2024 as Volt failed to incur a total exploration expenditure of $680,000 during the Expenditure Period. The Company did not issue additional shares to Volt beyond the 1,600,000 common shares, and Volt no longer has the option to acquire an undivided five percent (5%) interest in the Claims. The $96,000 capitalized in the exploration and evaluation assets upon the issuance of 1,600,000 common shares was impaired at the year-end due to the termination of the Agreement.
During the 2024 field season, a total of 1,037 kilograms (1.037 tonnes) comprising four bulk samples including the Captain Cosmos (1), Syndicate (1) and Graphi West (2) graphite showings were collected (Figure 1). Field duplicates, consisting of 2 to 3 kg samples taken from each of the bulk sample excavation sites returned Cg values that are consistent with and above the average resource Cg grade in the Tetepisca district (approximately 14% Cg). The final report on a detailed mineralogy study on samples from the three target areas utilizing reflected and transmitted light petrography and a Scanning Electron Microscope is pending. Preliminary results of the study document a range of graphite grain sizes, associated gangue mineralogy and graphite graingangue mineral textures. All three samples contain large to jumbo flakes free of metamorphic intergrowths or inclusions supporting a positive metallurgical response. Preliminary evaluation of flake graphite recovery from the four Tetepisca samples was completed at Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. ("Volt") using Volt's proprietary dry separation techniques. The study consisted of several trial air separation runs on selected samples from each zone followed by determination of Ct and Cg of the resulting concentrates. The results confirm the presence of large and jumbo flake in all samples and indicate that graphite can be separated from Tetepisca ore feed using Volt's dry separation technique. A high value of 96.4% Ct and 93.5% Cg was attained from the +14 mesh fraction of a trial run from the Syndicate showing and a high value of 95.8% Ct and 91.7% Cg was attained from the +40 mesh fraction of a trial run from the Graphi-West showing. The average Cg results for all trial runs of flakes +30 mesh (Jumbo) was 90.90% Cg for the Syndicate showing and 90.32% Cg for the Graphi-West showing. The average analytical results for all trial runs of flakes +40 mesh (Jumbo+Large Flakes) was 90.45 for the Syndicate showing and 89.60 for the Graphi-West showing. The metallurgical test work being completed at SGS Canada Inc. will provide E-Power with, among other information, ore feed head grades, recovery factors, concentrate composition, and flake size analysis which will contribute to the evaluation of resource delineation targets.
Highlights of the drilling and exploration program included:
- Grass roots discovery on the Captain Cosmos claims including an intersection of 23.97% Cg from surface to a depth of 5.15 metres ending in mineralization
- High grade graphite mineralization intersected over an 850 m strike length at the Graphi-Centre target includes 17.85% Cg over an intersection length of 3.80 metres
A wide zone of graphite mineralization intersected at the 1078 target including 2.66% Cg over an intersection length of 20.5 meters at the 1078 target. On June 10, 2025, the Company reported the start of
5
the 2025 exploration program on the property. Phase 1 of the 2025 exploration program will focus on Graphi-Centre, the highest priority target area on the Tetepisca Property and on the northern claims where prospecting and sampling during the 2024 exploration program resulted in several high grade graphite discoveries. Geological mapping and sampling at Graphi-Centre is aimed at evaluating and delineating the distribution of potentially favourable styles of mineralization indicated by previous sampling and indicated by contrasting magnetic and resistivity responses. A total of approximately 1 tonne of flake graphite mineralization will be collected in 4 samples (each approximately 250 kg). Three samples will be collected from the Graphi-Centre target and 1 from the northern claims. The samples will be submitted to SGS Canada Ltd., Lakefield, ON for metallurgical test work. The 2025 exploration program will continue the evaluation of the large land position in the Tetepisca Graphite District. The discoveries made on the northern claim group during 2024 expand the scope of the evaluation of the property for high grade, high quality, and from-surface, flake graphite deposits. The results of metallurgical test work on samples collected in 2024 from advanced targets in the southern claims are pending and expected soon. The Company is looking forward to compiling those results, planning and executing the Phase 2 of 2025 Program.
On August 28, 2025, the Company announced the acquisition of 4 additional claims covering favorable airborne survey conductive trends. The new claims are contiguous with Graphi-Centre, a priority flake graphite surface target on the Tetepisca Property.
On September 8, 2025, the Company reported the results from Phase 1 of the 2025 Exploration Program being completed on the Tetepisca Flake Graphite Property located in the North Shore region of Quebec. Highlights of results include:
- Several high grade (> 10% Cg) samples including a high grade sample of 26.4% Cg from a target area on the northern part of the property which was discovered in 2024.
- Several high grade (> 10% Cg) samples including a high grade sample of 68.7% Cg from Graphi-Centre, the Company's highest priority target on the Tetepisca Property.
- Discovery of a new flake graphite showing which includes a high grade grab sample of 54.7% Cg located on a long conductive linear trend on the southwestern part of the property.
Turgeon :
The Turgeon Property is located in the Abitibi region of western Québec in a geological domain referred to as the Abitibi Greenstone Belt ("AGB"). The AGB extends in an east-west direction across the Ontario-Quebec border for approximately 500 km and in a north-south direction for a distance of approximately 350 km. The AGB has been, and continues to be, an extremely important mining district for base and precious metals. Historical gold production from the AGB in excess of 200 million ounces and base metal massive sulphide production totals more than 775 million tons. The Turgeon property borders the property of Agnico Eagle Detour Lake Mine, located to the northwest, and is approximately 15 kilometers north of the Casa Berardi Gold Mine. The primary targets on the Turgeon Property are Copper-Zinc massive sulphide mineralization and organic Lode gold mineralization. The Turgeon property consists of 293 claims covering 16,248 hectares located in the Abitibi region of western Quebec. The Property was originally acquired through on-line staking in December 2018 and claims were added through on-line staking in 2020 and 2021.
During the winter of 2019 E-Power completed an exploration program that included ground geophysics (electromagnetics) and diamond drilling. During the fall of 2021, E-Power commissioned an airborne magnetic and time-domain electromagnetic survey. Based on the results of this survey, the company
acquired additional claims extending the property position to the east and south. The Company has assessed all historical data compiled on the Turgeon property and has evaluated all the exploration data generated in 2019 and in 2021 and the Company concludes that there is very little potential for the discovery and delineation of an economically viable flake graphite deposit on the property. The Company has no intention of completing further work on the Turgeon property and the Turgeon property is a non-core asset.
During 2019, the Company completed a detailed compilation of historical data from the Turgeon property followed by a ground geophysical survey and a diamond drill program. No work was completed on the property during 2020 due to Covid 19. During Q4 2021 the Company completed an airborne geophysical survey over the complete property. During Q1 of 2022 the Company, with the assistance of geological and geophysical consultants, evaluated the new and historical data for the Turgeon property and concluded that there is little scope for the discovery of an economically viable flake graphite resource on the property. As a result, Company no longer considers the Turgeon property as a core asset. The plans for the Turgeon property have been outlined above.
On February 2, 2022, the Company signed an option agreement with Rival Technologies Inc. ("Rival") on the Turgeon property and received cash and marketable shares amounting to $137,464. Under the terms of the option agreement, the Company was to grant Rival the exclusive right and option (the "Option") to acquire a 100% interest in 84 claims covering the southern part of the Turgeon property. As consideration for the grant of the Option, and in order to exercise the Option, Rival was to complete 7 individual cash payments, stock issuances, and work programs between March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2027, followed by an issuance to E-Power of 1,000,000 warrants and E-Power to retain a 2% royalty in the claims. On March 1, 2023, failure to meet the Option term by Rival resulted in the termination of the Option and the claims remained the property of E-Power without any further obligation or liability.
Since then, the market value of the Rival shares has deteriorated significantly and are valued at market in the financial statements. The Company evaluates that the balance of the investment in the Turgeon property will be fully recovered from future options or sales considerations. Consequently, no devaluation of the Turgeon property in the books is required. The Company reduced the size of the Turgeon property from 331 claims covering 18,386 Ha to 292 claims covering 16,248 Ha. The Company did not complete any work on the Turgeon property during calendar year 2023. In the fall of 2023 (Q1 2024) the Company was granted a 1-year extension to the Turgeon claims due to the spring and summer 2023 forest fires.
The Company signed an option agreement (the "Agreement") dated January 31, 2024 (the "Effective Date") with Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. ("Volt"). Under the terms of the Agreement, during the period from the Effective Date to December 31, 2024 (the "Expenditure Period"), Volt agrees to incur a total exploration expenditures of $680,000 on the Tetepisca Project (the "Property") and upon the signing of this Agreement, the Company granted an option to Volt to acquire an undivided five percent (5%) interest in the mineral claims of the Property (the "Claims"). In exchange, the Company issued 1,600,000 common shares valued at $96,000 to Volt on March 20, 2024. The Agreement was terminated subsequent to the year ended September 30, 2024 as Volt failed to incur a total exploration expenditure of $680,000 during the Expenditure Period (Note 14). The Company did not issue additional shares to Volt beyond the 1,600,000 common shares, and Volt no longer has the option to acquire an undivided five percent (5%) interest in the Claims. The $96,000 capitalized in the exploration and evaluation assets upon the issuance of 1,600,000 common shares was impaired at the year-end due to the termination of the Agreement. Effective December 31, 2024, the Agreement with Volt was terminated as a result of Volt not incurring the exploration expenditure requirement during the Expenditure Period.

SELECTED ANNUAL INFORMATION
The Company has not had any operating revenue from inception. The Company's past result of operations was not subject to seasonality. Management expects it will be difficult for the Company to obtain further equity or debt financing in the near future given that the current Canadian capital market is in a downturn for junior mining companies. The current resources on hand are not adequate for the Company to meet its long-term business objective or to conduct any significant explorative activities to the existing mineral properties.
The Company's information for the last three years is summarized as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 (“2026Q2)”) and March 31, 2025 (“2025Q2”)
During 2026Q2, the Company had a net comprehensive loss of $121,692 compared to the net comprehensive loss of $179,551 in the same period of last year. The Company incurred a gain of $34 consisting of interest income (2025Q2 – interest income of $475 and loss on marketable securities of $8,204). The Company also incurred $121,725 of operating expenses (2025Q2 – $171,822). The main components of the operating expenses comprise general exploration expenses of $Nil (2025Q2 - $17,047), professional fees of $3,425 (2025Q2 – $47,132), management and consulting fees of $58,000 (2025Q2 - $96,638), listing and filing fees of $10,891 (2025Q2 – $7,111), investor relations of $25,325 (2025Q2 - $3,000), and office and general expenses of $22,841 (2025Q2 - $1,022).
The decrease in general exploration expenses in 2026Q2 versus 2025Q2 was mainly due to timing of the expenditures programs of work on the company’s mineral properties. The variations in other expenses in 2026Q2 versus 2025Q2 is mainly due to their timing.
Six Months Ended March 31, 2026 (“2026Q1-Q2”) and 2025 (“2025Q1-Q2”)
During 2026Q1-Q2, the Company had a net comprehensive loss of $266,947 compared to the net comprehensive loss of $466,310 in the same period of last year. The Company earned interest income of $464 (2025Q1-Q2 - $491), incurred $266,947 of operating expenses (2025Q1-Q2 - $466,310), and incurred an unrealized loss on the fair market value of marketable securities of $4,455 (2025Q1-Q2 - a gain of $1,652).
The main components of the operating expenses in 2026Q1-Q2 comprise general exploration expenses of $Nil (2025Q1-Q2 $33,081), professional fees of $33,248 (2025Q1-Q2 - $59,280), listing and filing fees of $23,451 (2025Q1-Q2 $15,906), investor relations expenses of $55,786 (2025Q1-Q2 $25,000), management and consulting fees of $114,000 (2025Q1-Q2 - $316,492), and miscellaneous office expenses of $35,338 (2025Q1-Q2 - $9,773). The decrease in general exploration expenses in 2026Q1Q2 versus 2025Q1Q2 was mainly due to timing of the expenditures programs of work on the company’s mineral properties. The variations in other expenses in 2026Q1Q2 versus 2025Q1Q2 is mainly due to their timing.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Financing of operations has been achieved by equity and debt financing. As at March 31, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $116,001, and a positive working capital of $24,740. The Company has no operations that generate cash inflows. It is looking for opportunities to enter into agreements with other corporations with a view to monetizing the value of the properties. The 2 agreements signed to this date have been terminated due to the failure of the other contracting corporations to spend the required amounts on the properties.
Management intends to finance its operating costs with non-current loans from related parties and private placements of common shares. While the Company has a history of financing its operations through debt or equity financing, readers are cautioned that there are no guarantees that the Company can do so in the future. The Company is not subject to external capital requirements and does not have capital commitment other than those resulting from Flow-through shares issuance described below.
The Company had cash inflows of $130,000 from its financing activities during its first six months of the 2026YE, compared to $701,287 during the same period of 2025YE, resulting from shares issued for cash considerations, less share issue costs.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company are as follows:
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements but carries forward many of the requirements from IAS 1. The standard introduces new defined subtotals to be presented in the Company's statements of loss and comprehensive loss, disclosure of any management-defined performance measures related to the statements of loss and comprehensive loss and requirements for grouping of information. IFRS 18 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier adoption permitted, and will apply retrospectively. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 18 (and applicable amendments to other standards) on the financial statements and notes to the financial statements.
IFRS 9 Financial Statements and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. The amendments clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the settlement date and introduce an accounting policy choice to derecognize a financial liability settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date. Other clarifications include guidance on the classification of financial assets with ESG-linked features, non-recourse loans and contractually linked instruments. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, with an option to early adopt only the amendments to the classification of financial assets (for contingent features.) The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of the amendments on the financial statements and notes to the financial statements.
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. There were no accounting standard changes to analyze as to their potential impact on the Company's financial statements. All other IFRSs or IFRIC Interpretations that have an effective date beginning January 1, 2025 have been considered in the financial statements. The new IFRS standards and other interpretations not in effect yet have no impact on the financial statements.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments. As at March 31, 2026, the Company has current liabilities $254,150 (March 31, 2025: $404,000 and September 30, 2025: $316,697).
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts. The Company's cash is deposited in bank accounts held with a major bank in Canada. As most of the Company's cash is held by a bank there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high-quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Some of the Company's financial instruments expose it to this risk, which comprises currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is not material. The Company's exposure to and management of interest rate risk has not changed materially during and since the year ended September 30, 2025.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is currently not exposed to any significant foreign exchange rate risk.
Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer or by factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The other price risk associated with the Company's current investments primarily relates to the change in the market price of the investment in marketable securities. As at March 31, 2026 a 10% change in the market price of the Company's marketable securities would have an impact on profit or loss of approximately $210 (March 31, 2025 - $864, and September 30, 2025 $656). Management believes there is other price risk related to this investment. While the Company will seek to maximize the proceeds it receives from the sale of its investment, there is no assurance as to the timing of disposition or the amount that will be realized. The Company's exposure to, and management of, other price risk has not changed materially during and since the year ended September 30, 2025.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's objectives of capital management are intended to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to support the Company's exploration and evaluation of its resource properties and support any expansion plans. Management defines capital as the Company's shareholders' equity.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company's underlying assets. To effectively manage the entity's capital requirements, the Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its financial
17
objectives. The Company may issue new shares or seek debt financing to ensure that there is sufficient working capital to meet its short-term business requirements.
On March 31, 2026, total managed capital was $1,734,455 (March 31, 2025: $1,295,034, and September 30, 2025: $1,776,613).
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements as at March 31, 2026 except when the Company issues flow-through shares for which the amount should be used for exploration work. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed a flow-through private placement totaling $100,000 and incurred sufficient eligible expenditures to satisfy its flow-through spending obligations during the year ended September 30, 2025. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company completed two flow-through private placements totaling $1,006,266 and subsequently incurred sufficient eligible expenditures to satisfy its flow-through spending obligations. On July 25, 2024, the Company completed a flow-through private placement totaling $100,000, and on December 23, 2024 another flow-through private placement totaling $149,000. As at March 31, 2026, the Company has the obligation to incur a remaining balance of exploration work amounting to $Nil (March 31, 2025 $175,765, and September 30, 2025 $37,034).
RISK FACTORS
Business and other Risks that the Company is facing include the following:
Mining Industry
The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to establish ore reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the current exploration programs planned by the Company will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, as well as metal prices which are highly cyclical and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.
The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk. The Company's operations are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of ore, including unusual and unexpected geology formations, rock bursts, cave-ins, flooding and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage and possible legal liability. Although adequate precautions to minimize risk will be taken, milling operations are subject to hazards such as equipment failure or failure of retaining dams around tailings disposal areas, which may result in environmental pollution and consequent liability.
The Company's mineral exploration activities are directed towards the search, evaluation and development of mineral deposits. There is no certainty that the expenditures to be made by the Company
18
as described herein will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of ore. There is aggressive competition within the mining industry for the discovery and acquisition of properties considered to have commercial potential. The Company will compete with other interests, many of which have greater financial resources than it will have for the opportunity to participate in promising projects. Significant capital investment is required to achieve commercial production from successful exploration efforts.
Government Regulation
The exploration activities of the Company are subject to various federal, provincial and local laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substance and other matters. Exploration activities are also subject to various federal, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. These laws mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards, and land reclamation. These laws also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste.
Although the Company's exploration activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of exploration, mining and milling or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.
Permits and Licenses
The exploitation and development of mineral properties may require the Company to obtain regulatory or other permits and licenses from various governmental licensing bodies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary permits and licenses that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations on its properties.
Environmental Risks and Hazards
All phases of the Company's mineral exploration operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.
There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties on which the Company holds interests which are unknown to the Company at present, which have been caused, by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties. The Company may become liable for such environmental hazards caused by previous owners and operators of the properties even where it has attempted to contractually limit its liability. Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be, required in connection with the Company's operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained; the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties.
19
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions there under, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties. Production of mineral properties may involve the use of dangerous and hazardous substances such as sodium cyanide. While all steps will be taken to prevent discharges of pollutants into the ground water the environment, the Company may become subject to liability for hazards that cannot be insured against.
Commodity Prices
The profitability of mining operations is significantly affected by changes in the market price of gold and other minerals. The level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, world supply of these minerals and stability of exchange rates can all cause significant fluctuations in base metal prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns and monetary systems and political developments. The price of gold and other minerals has fluctuated widely in recent years, and future serious price declines could cause continued commercial production to be impracticable.
Depending on the price of gold and other minerals, cash flow from mining operations may not be sufficient. Any figures for reserves presented by the Company will be estimates and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized. Market fluctuations and the price of gold and other minerals may render reserves uneconomical. Moreover, short-term operating factors relating to the reserves, such as the need for orderly development of the ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades of ore, may cause a mining operation to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period.
Uninsured Risks
The Company utilizes contractors and consultants to complete its field exploration programs and drilling programs and ensures that contractors used carry required insurance. Otherwise, the Company may elect to carry insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers adequate. Risks not insured against include environmental pollution or other hazards against which such corporations cannot insure or against which they may elect not to insure.
Conflicts of Interest
Certain of the directors of the Company also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies involved in natural resource exploration and development. Consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors to be in a position of conflict. Any decision made by such directors involving the Company will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with the Company and such other companies. In addition, such directors will declare, and refrain from voting on, any matter in which such directors may have a conflict of interest.
