San Miguel, Mexico
In connection with the acquisition of Cotton on March 10, 2025, the Corporation acquired the San Miguel project, which comprises two mining concessions (the "Mineral Property Interests") located in the community of San Miguel del Carrizal, Sinaloa, Mexico. The concessions cover approximately 50 hectares and 69 hectares, respectively.
As part of the acquisition term, the Corporation granted the Seller a 2.0% net smelter royalty ("NSR") on any future production derived from the Mineral Property Interests. The Corporation retains an option to repurchase 1% of the NSR for aggregate consideration of $1,000,000.
Cotton is subject to minimum work commitments totaling $750,000 to be incurred on or before March 10, 2027. If Cotton does not satisfy these work commitments, the Seller will automatically obtain an option to buy back the Mineral Property Interests at a price equal to the total considerations originally paid plus any work commitment expenditures incurred by Cotton from March 10, 2025 up to the closing date of the buy back.
El Dorado, Mexico
Cotton entered into a master assignment agreement with Ingenieros Mineros, S.A. de C.V. ("Ingenieros"), a company existing under the laws of Mexico, dated April 30, 2025 (the "Agreement") whereby Cotton, as assignee, may acquire a 100% interest in the mining concessions named "El Dorado" (the "Mining Concession Title") (the "Assignment") upon completion of the cash payments described below.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Cotton is required to pay Ingenieros a total of USD$145,000 in cash installments as follows:
(i) USD$22,500 due as of the effective date of the Agreement (the "Effective Date");
(ii) USD$25,000 due as of 90 days from the Effective Date;
(iii) USD$25,000 due as of 180 days from the Effective Date;
(iv) USD$25,000 payable upon completion of certain conditions, including but not limited to (i) Cotton obtaining satisfactory evidence of registration of the Assignment with the applicable regulatory, and (ii) Cotton obtaining the necessary drilling permits to exploit the El Dorado mine (the "Mine"), pursuant to the Mining Concession Title;
(v) USD$25,000 payable upon completion of certain conditions, including but not limited to receipt of an environmental impact statement from the relevant regulatory body; and
(vi) USD$22,500 upon the extraction of first ore production from the Mine.
These cash payments are guaranteed by the Seller of Cotton. In addition, Cotton is required to pay Ingenieros cash bonus payments contingent on certain production milestones (the "Bonus Consideration"). The Bonus Consideration includes USD$52,500 payable upon the first shipment of ore from the Mine after successful processing, and additional bonus payments may become payable on a per ton basis once specified ore-extraction thresholds are achieved.
In connection with the Assignment, Cotton has also agreed to grant a net smelter royalty ("NSR") to an arm's length finder (the "Finder") in the amount of 1% of net smelter returns. Cotton may buy back the NSR for USD$1,000,000. The Finder is also entitled to receive a cash payment of up to $14,500, representing 10% of the aggregate consideration payable under the Assignment.
Completion of the Assignment is subject to receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, as applicable.
Convertible debenture
On May 15, 2025, the Corporation issued unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") with aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $348,000 (US $250,000), bearing interest at 8% per annum, accruing semi-annually and payable at maturity, which occurs one year from the date of issuance. No finder's fees or commissions were paid in connection with the issuance of the Debentures. The gross proceeds were for the purpose of general corporate and working capital requirements of the Corporation.
The outstanding principal amount of the Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Corporation at a price of $0.08 per share (the "Conversion Price"), at the election of the holder at any time up to three days prior to the maturity date or by election of the Corporation at any time from three days prior to the maturity date up to and including the maturity date. At the sole option of the Corporation, it may satisfy its obligations to settle interest owing on the Debentures by either (i) a cash payment, or (ii) the issuance of shares at a price equal to the higher of (a) the Conversion Price and (b) a price equal to the volume weighted average price of the shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange for the five trading days preceding the applicable interest payment

date.
Because the principal amount of the Debentures is denominated in U.S. dollars while the conversion price is denominated in Canadian dollars, the conversion feature does not meet the "fixed-for-fixed" equity classification requirement under IAS 32. As a result, the conversion feature is accounted for as a derivative liability. The Debentures were initially separated into a host liability component measured at fair value and a derivative liability component representing the fair value of the conversion feature. The host liability component is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognized in profit or loss over the term of the Debentures. The derivative liability is remeasured at each reporting date, and changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
The changes in the carrying value of the Debentures during the Period ended January 31, 2026 and the year ended July 31, 2025 are as follows:
| Balance, July 31, 2024 | $ - |
|---|---|
| Addition | 348,000 |
| Allocated to derivative liabilities | (115,981) |
| Accretion expense | 20,467 |
| Accrued interest | 5,873 |
| Balance, July 31, 2025 | $ 258,359 |
| Accretion expense | 60,089 |
| Accrued interest | 14,036 |
| Balance, January 31, 2026 | $ 332,484 |
During the Period ended January 31, 2026, the Corporation recognized a loss on fair value adjustment of $130,000 (July 31, 2025 – gain of $21,325) related to the derivative liabilities arising from the conversion features of the Debentures.
Results of operations
For the Period ended January 31, 2026, operating expenses were $6,719,962 (2025 – $36,088). Expenses increased significantly mainly due to consulting, legal and audit/accounting expenses related to the acquired mining interests as well as the operator fees therein. Share-based compensation was $105,575 (2025 – $ nil). Audit fees are accrued in the fourth quarter.
Consulting fees include of administrative work by Cotton Mine, the CEO, CFO, COO and Chairman of the Board of Directors (see related party and executive compensation). Professional fees consist of auditing and legal expenses. General and administrative consists of regulatory filing fees, office, banking, stock exchange fees and shareholder communications. Fair value adjustment on derivatives liabilities refers to the convertible debenture.
During the period, the Company entered into a toll milling arrangement with Oro Gold de México S.A. de C.V. ("Oro Gold") for the processing of tailings and mineralized material at the Tadeo Mill facility. Under the arrangement, the Company provides processing services and earns toll milling fees based on tonnage processed, at agreed rates per metric ton. The agreement contemplates the processing of up to approximately 100,000 metric tons over a two-year period.
For the period, from commencement of operations, to January 31, 2026, the Company recognized revenue of $1,485,792 from toll milling activities. Revenue is recognized over time as processing services are rendered, based on the quantity of material processed and agreed contractual rates.

Liquidity, capital resources, risk and uncertainties
During the six months Period, the Corporation recorded net loss of $5,407,596 (2025 – $36,088). As at January 31, 2026, the Corporation had an accumulated deficit of $18,925,366 (July 31, 2025 - $13,561,196) and a working capital deficiency of $4,941,258 (July 31, 2025 – surplus $313,825). The Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern, realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent on its ability to generate future positive operating cash flows and obtain additional financing through equity issuances, debt arrangements, or other strategic alternatives. Management believes that the Corporation will be able to obtain sufficient working capital through external financing to meet its liabilities and commitments as they come due. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available when required or obtainable on terms favorable to the Corporation. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern.
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the estimated amount that the Corporation would receive or pay to settle a financial asset or financial liability as at the reporting date. The fair values of cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their nature or capacity for prompt liquidation. The fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments are estimated based on the amount at which these instruments could be exchanged in a transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matter of judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can affect estimated fair values.

Risk Factors
Risks associated with exploration and mining operations
The exploration and development of mineral properties involve a high degree of risk which cannot be avoided despite the experience, knowledge and careful evaluation of prospective properties by management. There can be no assurance commercial quantities of ore will be discovered on the Corporation's mineral properties. Even if such commercial quantities are subsequently discovered by the Corporation's exploration efforts, there can be no assurance such properties can be brought in to commercial production.
Operations may be subject to disruption due to weather conditions, labour unrest or other causes beyond the control of the Corporation. Hazards such as unexpected formations, pressures, flooding, or other conditions over which the Corporation does not have control may be encountered and may adversely affect the Corporation's operations and financial results.
The properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or land claims, including First Nations land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects. There is no guarantee that title to the Corporation's properties or its rights to earn an interest in its properties will not be challenged or impugned. Also, in many countries including Canada and the USA, claims have been made and new claims are being made by aboriginal peoples that call into question the rights granted by the governments of those countries in respect of resource properties.
Environmental Risks
Environmental legislation is continuing to evolve such as will require strict standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent assessment of proposed projects and a greater degree of corporate responsibility. There can be no assurance that future changes to environmental legislation may not adversely affect the Corporation's operations.
Mineral Market
The market for minerals is subject to factors beyond the Corporation's control, such as market price fluctuation, currency fluctuation and government regulation. The effect of such factors cannot be accurately calculated. The existence of any or all such factors may restrict the access to a market, if same exists, for the sale of commercial ore which may be discovered.
Funding Requirements
In order to move forward with its exploration and development activities, the Corporation will likely require additional funding. There can be no guarantee that such funds will be available as and when required or, if available, be accessible on reasonable commercial terms.
Reliance on Management
The Corporation anticipates that it will be heavily reliant upon the experience and expertise of management with respect to the further development of the mineral properties. The loss of any one of their services or their inability to devote the time required to effectively manage the affairs of the Corporation could materially adversely affect the Corporation.
