To this end, the Company, held a 100% interest in the Pluto Gold Prospect, that has been optioned out, located in the Dolomieu and Daubrée Townships, Quebec, Canada, consisting of two claim blocks for a total of 54 claims covering approximately 3,000 hectares located in the Chapais Township, Quebec, collectively known as the Pluto Gold and Base Metals Property. The Company held a 100% interest in the Lawyers East and West Property, that has been optioned out, which is on two claim blocks covering approximately 6,260 acres in the Golden Triangle Region of British Columbia. The Company held 100% undivided interest in the Elon Lithium Prospect, which consists of six claims spanning over 245 hectares in the La Corne and Fiedmont townships of Quebec, approximately 40 kilometres north of the mining town of Val d'Or. The property consisted of seven mining claims covering approximately 1,552 hectares. The Company held an option on the South Pontax and Ile Interdite Prospects, which property consists of 105 claims covering 5,603 hectares and 20 claims covering 1,089 hectares, respectively. The Company held 100% undivided interest in the Fafnir Lake Property and the Bissent Lake Property, which consist of 36 claims and 35 claims respectively. The Company held 100% undivided interest in the Temis Sun Polymetallic Property, which consists of four claims.
Pluto Gold Prospect (Quebec)
The Pluto Gold Prospect is situated in the Eeyou Istchee / Baie-James territory of Quebec and is composed of 54 active claims covering an area of approximately 3,000 hectares.
As at September 30, 2024, 47 claims were renewed until May 31, 2025, and seven other claims are valid until between January 8-22, 2026. The remaining claims expired.
The Pluto properties are made up of a series of crustal-scale deformation zones and highly prospective sedimentary-volcanic rock contacts. The Pluto properties are located west of the town of Chibougamau, Que., which provides excellent infrastructure and an experienced local work force for exploration and mining activities. The Pluto properties have been underexplored for base and precious metals, and historic assay results returned Cu-Zn-Au-Ag values. Some historic diamond drill holes returned visible sulphide mineralization and VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) showings (Dolomieu-Sud). Exploration work completed at Pluto resulted in anomalous gold and base metals values in till samples and three distinct anomalous zones were outlined.
Pursuant to a property option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Jinhua Capital Corp. ("Jinhua"), dated effective January 19, 2022, and as amended, the Company agreed to grant an option (the "Option") for Jinhua to earn up to a 100% interest in 54 mineral claims constituting the Pluto Property, located in the Dolomieu and Daubree Townships of Quebec (the "Property").
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Option was approved by the Exchange. Jinhua may exercise the first option and earn a 80% interest in the property by paying the Company $118,324 in cash, common shares of Jinhua, or combination thereof, on the closing date of the Option Agreement (1,183,240 common shares issued by Jinhua to the Company on August 9, 2023); and an additional $118,324 in cash, common shares of Jinhua, or combination thereof, at the sole election of Jinhua on or before the date that is 18 months from the Exchange approval and closing of concurrent private placement of at least $500,000 ("Closing Date").

since the last resource estimate and the claims have not been abandoned. The optionee shall pay for the preparation of the first resource estimate and any further resource estimates prepared at the optionee's option pursuant to Subsection (i). The optionor shall reimburse the optionee for 50 per cent of the cost of any resource estimate prepared at the optionee's request pursuant to Subsection (ii). The optionee and optionor acknowledge that the target resource estimate may be achieved over multiple years. For greater certainty, any amounts owing to the optionor pursuant to a subsequent resource estimate under paragraph 3.5 shall be calculated by subtracting the ounces of gold under the prior resource estimate or resources estimates from the ounces of gold under the subsequent resource estimate (that is, if the prior resource estimate was 250,000 ounces of gold and a subsequent resource estimate is 300,000 ounces of gold, the amount owing to the optionor shall be $50,000).
Elon Lithium Prospect (Quebec)
On March 25, 2021, the Company completed a share purchase agreement to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Tonto Investments Inc. In connection with the acquisition of Tonto, the Company acquired mineral claims located in the La Corne and Piedmont townships of Quebec, collectively known as the Elon Lithium Prospect. The acquisition of the Tonto shares was accounted for as an asset acquisition, as at the time of the transaction, Tonto did not meet the definition of a business. The fair value of the consideration paid of $345,000 was allocated to the exploration and evaluation assets as at the date of acquisition. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment of $50,900 on the Elon Lithium Prospect as a portion of one claim was located on a ski resort and it will not be explored. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had spent $723,108 on this property.
The Elon Lithium Prospect spans over 245 hectares in the La Corne and Piedmont townships of Quebec, approximately 40 kilometres north of the mining town of Val d'Or. The property has excellent infrastructure support with road network, railway, electricity, water, and trained manpower available locally. The property is in an active lithium exploration/mining area with several lithium projects in the vicinity.
As per the Company's April 3, 2023 news release, the Company received its assay results from the 2022 drilling campaign.
The drill planning objectives were to test magnetic lows, possible sources of soil anomalies or interpreted contacts. Magnetic low targets were identified by Dynamic Discoveries Geosciences using high-resolution heliborne magnetic survey (Dube, 2021) and DEM. Low magnetic corridors emanating from the interpreted intrusion were identified, with possible dike swarms cross-cutting the interpreted intrusions, which are concordant with till anomalies, showing a similar context as the Quebec lithium mine located 600 metres southwest of the Elon lithium property.
A summer trail opening campaign was conducted with the aim to expose bedrock. All the trenches were terminated before reaching bedrock, as the overburden was too thick. Following the trenching campaign, four drill holes (DDH) were successfully completed. The overburden in the area is thick, with thickness ranging from 20 to 39 metres of sand. All the drilled holes reached a depth of 150 m. Although the geochemical assays show anomalous lithium content, no lithium minerals were visualized during the logging. The Company's technical team is of the opinion that the lithium anomalies are generated by alteration and will try to further investigate the source of the anomalies in the upcoming work programs. Initial targets and expected pegmatite bodies were not reached. Magnetic anomalies were not explained, and possible sources of soil anomalies were not identified. Unexpected chromium and nickel values were intersected in hole EL22-001 in sheared andesite, as well as gold and silver values in hole EL22-007 in a volcanoclastic volcanic tuff unit. It is important to note that this first drill phase is very limited in length and additional drilling will allow the Company to further inspect the property.

As per the Company's May 1, 2024, news release completed its fifth exploration program for Phase 1, on the Elon lithium project. The survey used a motorized auger drill to sample the till and sediments close to the contact with the bedrock. The purpose of the survey was to better define the dispersion of the plume in the till column in three dimensions (3D). The program targeted soils that are located down-ice from identified magnetic and soil anomalies (see news release dated March $4^{\text{th}}$ , 2022) that were not explained during the last rock drill phase (see news release dated December $28^{\text{th}}$ , 2022). Future surveys may consist of additional geophysics which may lead to a second drill phase on the southern part of the Property.
The Program
The program targeted identified magnetic and soil anomalies that are yet explained by drilling (Figure 1). The soil was drilled using a Big Beaver Auger Drilling Rig equipped with a split spoon sampler. A total of six (6) holes were drilled. Difficult land access to the west and muddy terrain caused by the weather prevented the access to some of the targets.

Figure 1: Auger Drill Stations
Overburden thickness in the area is approximately up to 25m thick, based on overburden measurements from the 2022 diamond drilling and 2023 motorized auger campaign. The sampling stations are approximately 25m apart and perpendicular to the glacial flow.
Pontax South and Ile Interdite Properties
On June 26, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire two lithium properties located in James Bay, Quebec, which was amended on October 10, 2023, further amended on July
19, 2023 and further amended on July 10, 2024. The purchase price payable to the arm's length vendors for the mineral claims shall be as follows:
(i) cash payment of $50,000 on or before December 26, 2024;
(ii) issuing 1,500,000 common shares of the Company to each of the two vendors (issued); and
(iii) granting a 2% underlying royalty. The Company has a right to acquire 1% (50% of the underlying royalty) at any time for the payment of $1,000,000.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred finder's fees of $18,700.
As per the Company's September 18, 2023, news release remote sensing work commenced on two lithium properties, the Pontax South and Île Interdite.
Description of Pontax South and Île Interdite Properties Regional Setting
The Pontax South property consists of 105 claims covering 5,603 hectares (56 km²).
The Causabiscau Shear Zone transects the Pontax South property over 16 km and another regional Shear Zone, oriented E-W, crosscuts the property over 6 km. Many Lithium deposits and occurrences are closely and spatially associated to shear zones, evidencing entrapment, and tend to form at or near the contact of mafic, ultramafic or amphibolite rocks which are reported at Pontax South.

Figure 1: Pontax South Property
The Île Interdite property consists of 20 claims covering 1,089 hectares (10.9 km²) and extends over 5 km along the Nottaway River Shear Zone, a prominent regional structure that can be followed over 200 km. Île Interdite is near the contact between the Nemiscau Sedimentary and the Opatica Pluto-Volcanic Sub-Provinces, consisting of paragneiss and amphibolite rocks.
The Ile Interdite property hosts an important beryl showing that was identified in the 1960's by the same group of Quebec government geologists who reported spodumene at both Whabouchi and Cyr deposit's locations. Beryl is a relatively rare pathfinder mineral for lithium, often observed in pegmatites. At Ile Interdite, beryl is disseminated in a pegmatite. The Île Interdite showing is roughly 200 m southwest of the Nottaway River Shear Zone.

Figure 2: Ile Interdite Property
As per the Company's news release March 12, 2024, that approximately 100% of the remote sensing work was complete at Île Interdite Lithium Property.
Satellite Imagery Study Results
A total of 14 potential pegmatite dykes were identified and outlined, appearing as dome shaped linear features with positive relief. A sharp contrast with surrounding host rocks can also be observed and potential dykes are either oriented east-west, parallel or nearly parallel to the regional Nottaway River Shear Zone. Of interest, 8 potential pegmatite dykes are within a one-kilometre radius from the reported Île Interdite showing.
There are 3 potential pegmatite dykes' occurrences which are characterized by their length and width as follows:
10
| Length | Width | Swarm Dyke Area | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of dykes | From | Up to | From | Up to | Length | Width | |
| metres | metres | metres | metres | metres | metres | ||
| Dyke Swarm #1 | 5 | 160 | 850 | 70 | 260 | 1 300 | 650 |
| Dyke Swarm #2 | 3 | 205 | 335 | 190 | 215 | 750 | 700 |
| Dyke Swarm #3 | 3 | 350 | 665 | 100 | 145 | 1 000 | 600 |
In addition, there are 3 isolated potential pegmatite dykes: A dyke 780 metres long and 90 metres wide that is located 200 m west of Dyke Swarm #2, a second dyke 365 m long by 45 metres wide located 300 m west of the Dyke Swarm #3, and a third dyke 810 m long by 100 metres wide located 1,600 m southeast of Dyke Swarm #3. Results are as follows:
| Length | Width | Distance from nearest Dyke Swarm | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| metres | metres | metres | |||
| Dyke #1 | 780 | 90 | 200 | ||
| Dyke #2 | 365 | 45 | 300 | ||
| Dyke #3 | 810 | 100 | 1 600 |
The information on these dykes will be transferred to a GIS system and a series of maps at scale 1:5,000 will be generated. Precise satellite image interpreted pegmatites will be correlated with existing data for generating targeted areas that will be followed up on the field in an upcoming pegmatite sampling program
The remote sensing work consists of establishing spectral signatures for direct identification of lithium-bearing minerals that have distinctive emission bands in the thermal spectrum. Lithium-bearing minerals, such as spodumene, are difficult to identify visually and to distinguish from common rock forming silicate minerals on the field.
The Company was using Worldview satellites constellation with panchromatic data up to 31cm in resolution and multispectral data with 1.24 m resolution for this work. Algorithms will be applied on these images to unfold pegmatites and/or swarms of pegmatites that can take the shape of flat-lying or variably dipping dykes, pods, tabular and lenticular-shaped bodies.
The Company intends to carry out an airborne geophysical survey that will allow to link regional shear, faults, and dilatational zones with satellite imagery targeted areas for outlining accurate pegmatite prospecting and potential mineralization traps.

Fafnir Lake and Bissent Lake Uranium Properties
In January 2024, the Company staked two uranium properties located in the Upper Laurentides region of Quebec, consisting of 36 claims covering 2,102 hectares, for total staking costs of $5,467.
The Fafnir Lake property consists of 36 claims covering 2,102 hectares (21 km²). The Property is approximately 75 km north of the town of Mont-Laurier and has good access through a network of secondary and lumber roads. The property comprises 2 showings: Huillier and Fafnir Lakes.
Discovered in 1968 and never followed-up, the Huillier Lake showing consists of at least 5 light colored pegmatite dykes, striking almost due north and dipping 10 to 20 degrees to the east. Several 0.3 to 0.6 m wide intervals, mineralized in uraninite were intersected by historical diamond drilling in 1969. Values up to 0.11% U₃O₈ were reported.
The Fafnir Lake showing was discovered in 2006 and consists of an intensely altered pegmatite body where a grab sample yielded 0.16% U₃O₈, 0.06% molybdenum ("Mo"), 0.06% lead ("Pb"), 0.15% zirconium ("Zr"), and 92 ppm niobium ("Nb"). It is reported that the pegmatite mineralogy shows evidence of late-stage magmatic enrichment, suggesting additional uranium concentration. Approximately 750 metres to the north-northwest, historical drill hole C-8 returned 0.19% U3O₈ over 3 metres.
Another outcrop, 1,000 metres north-northwest of the Fafnir Lake showing, returned 0.02% U₃O₈, 0.01% < Mo, 0.01% Pb, 0.04% Zr, and 44 ppm Nb. In addition, an outcrop 1,100 metres south of the Fafnir Lake showing yielded 0.02% U₃O₈, 0.01% Mo, 0.04% Pb, 0.49% Zr, and 28 ppm Nb.
As per the Company's November 4, 2024 news release, it began exploration on the Fafnir Lake Molybdenum Property. The Company is carrying out detailed outcrop sampling in an area roughly 4 km by 1 km encompassing both the Fafnir Lake and Huillier Lake showings which are nearly 3 km apart.
The Bissent Lake property comprises 35 claims covering 2,056 hectares (20.6 km²). The Property is approximately 50 km northeast of the town of Mont-Laurier and has excellent access through a network of secondary and lumber roads. The property includes the Trou-do showing that was sampled and assayed where a grab sample returned 0.11% U3O₈. The mineralization is within a pegmatite dyke hosted in a biotite paragneiss.
Temis Sun Gold Property
In August 2024, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire the Temis Sun Gold Property located southeast of Ville-Marie, Quebec. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of VFA Mining Corp. ("VFA") from the vendors in consideration for 5,500,000 common shares. On August 30, 2024, the Company acquired the Temis Sun Gold Property in connection with the acquisition of VFA Mining Corp.
The Property encompasses 467 ha in the Temiscamingue region within Belleterre-Angliers greenstone belt (BAGB) of the metal endowed Abitibi Subprovince (Figure 2). The BAGB is regionally known for the historic gold mines around the town of Belleterre which lies 50 km to the east and numerous Cu-Ni magmatic occurrences and historic mines. Two historic showings, Old Baldface and Fabre-Nord, underpin the mineralization on the Property.

Figure 1. Regional location of the Temis Sun polymetallic project.
The Property The Old Baldface showing, circa 1930, is comprised of a $15\mathrm{m}$ deep shaft, historic trenching and limited drilling. Mineralization is polymetallic in nature hosted in en-echelon lenses of quartz veins within a shear zone. The zone of mineralization on surface has been traced for over $25\mathrm{m}$ and up to $5\mathrm{m}$ wide. Drill hole 92-1 intersected $5.33\mathrm{g/tAg}$ over $8.7\mathrm{m}$ with anomalous gold, copper and zinc. Historic grab samples have reported up to $0.5\mathrm{g/tAu}$ .
Fabre Nord showing has had very little recorded historic exploration. Four short drill holes by Silverstar Resources Inc. in 1993 returned $3.24\mathrm{g / t}$ Au over $2.8\mathrm{m}$ which included $6.48\mathrm{g / t}$ Au over $0.9\mathrm{m}$ within a smokey quartz vein. Interestingly, drilling also encountered rhyolitic tuffs with semimassive sulphides up to $2\mathrm{m}$ wide containing pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite and sphalerite indicative of VMS-type copper-zinc deposits (GM53082).

The Vendors of the property will assist in raising $150,000 in equity financing, on a best effort basis, towards exploration on the project.
Subsequent to the six months ended September 30, 2024, MERN informed the Company that they are not issuing lands that are designated as private land, after May 27, 2024, therefore five of the claims will not be included in the purchase. The government does not have a date by which a decision will be made. However, should they allow for staking of these claims, the Issuer will be able to proceed with these claims.

The Company is an exploration stage issuer engaged in the business of acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of mineral properties. As such, the Company has not had any revenues in the past two fiscal years. The Company does not expect to generate any revenues in the foreseeable future. The Company expects to continue to incur expenses as work is performed to explore and develop its mineral property.

Future Cash Requirements
As the Company currently does not generate cash flows from operations, the Company expects that it will need to raise additional funds through debt or equity financing for future business operations. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of current shareholders will be reduced and such equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of the Company's common shares. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company or its shareholders.
Going Concern
At present, the Company's operations do not generate cash flow and the continued operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition of or participation in an interest in properties, assets or businesses. These conditions represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company's funding initiatives will continue to be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
15
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption was not used, then the adjustments required to report the Company's assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis could be material to the financial statements.
Capital Resources
The Company has the following commitments for capital expenditures due before March 31, 2025, with respect to its mineral properties.
Ile Interdite Property

The expenditure is optional and the Company may decide not to incur such payments in the event the Company does not decide to pursue further exploration with respect to these claims.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated July 19, 2023, and as amended on October 10, 2023, and on July 10, 2024, the Company is required to make a cash payment of $50,000 to be paid on or before December 26, 2024.

During the six months ended September 30, 2024, operating activities used $127,132 in cash.

During the comparative six months ended September 30, 2023, operating activities used $150,235 in cash.

Financial and Other Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, short-term investment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values, unless otherwise noted. The Company is exposed to credit risk and liquidity risk in respect of these financial instruments, as follows:
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 with a major bank in Canada. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis.
Historically, the Company's primary source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements and the advance of loans. The Company's access to equity financing is dependent upon market conditions and market risks. There can be no assurance of continued access to equity funding.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk due to variability of interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its bank account and loans. The income earned on the bank account is subject to the movements in interest rates. The Company has cash balances and fixed interest-bearing loans, therefore, interest rate risk is nominal.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in foreign exchange rates. The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Company believes that the following risks and uncertainties may materially affect its success.
Limited Operating History
The Company is a relatively new company with limited operating history and no history of business operations or revenue generation. The Company was incorporated on February 18, 2015 and has yet to generate a profit from its activities. The Company is subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including the risk that it will not achieve its objective of acquiring a business or an asset.
Substantial Capital Requirements and Liquidity
Substantial additional funds for the acquisition of a business or an asset will be required. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise the additional funding that may be required for such activities. To meet such funding requirements, the Company will be required to undertake additional equity financing, which would be dilutive to shareholders. Debt financing, if available, may also involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
Competition
The Company will compete with other companies, many of which have greater financial, technical, and other resources than the Company, for, among other things, the acquisition of assets and businesses, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.
Reliance on Management and Dependence on Key Personnel
The success of the Company will be largely dependent upon the performance of the directors and officers and the ability to attract and retain key personnel. The loss of the services of these persons may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects. The Company will compete with numerous other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and contractors. There is no assurance that the Company can maintain the service of its directors and officers or other qualified personnel required to operate its business. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its prospects.
Conflicts of Interest
Certain of the directors and officers of the Company will be engaged in, and will continue to engage in, other business activities on their own behalf and on behalf of other companies and, as a result of these and other activities, such directors and officers of the Company may become subject to conflicts of interest. The British Columbia Business Corporations Act ("BCBCA") provides that in the event that a director has a material interest in a contract or proposed contract or agreement that is material to the issuer, the director must disclose his interest in such contract or agreement and refrain from voting on any matter in respect of such contract or agreement, subject to and in accordance with the BCBCA. To the extent that conflicts of interest arise, such conflicts will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of the BCBCA.
Litigation
The Company and/or its directors may be subject to a variety of civil or other legal proceedings, with or without merit.
