CORPORATE STRUCTURE
Following is the corporate structure of the Company as of October 31, 2025 and the date of this MDA&:
| Country of incorporation | Reporting date | |
|---|---|---|
| IDEX | Canada | March 31 |
| ISC | Canada | July 31 |
| Silver Rock Resources Inc. (“Silver Rock”) | US | July 31 |
| 1212242 B.C. LTD.* | Canada | July 31 |
| Long Canyon Resources Inc.* | US | July 31 |
- Since the disposition of a 70% interest in 1212242 B.C. LTD. and Long Canyon Resources Inc. on November 16, 2022, the financial information of 1212242 B.C. LTD. and Long Canyon Resources Inc. has not been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements.
HIGHLIGHTS
Financings
- The Company completed a brokered private placement of 8,867,099 units at a price of $0.60 per unit, raising gross proceeds of $5,320,259. Each unit comprised one common share and one-half of one warrant. Each whole warrant entitles its holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.90 for a period of two years following the closing of the private placement.
In connection with the private placement, the Company paid finder’s fees in the amount of $204,419 and issued 511,030 finder’s warrants. Each finder’s warrant entitles its holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.60 for a period of two years following the closing of the private placement.
Exploration Activities
During the three months ended October 31, 2025, and up to the date of this MD&A, the Company advanced its maiden exploration program at the Freeze Project in Washington County, Idaho. Work included diamond drilling, surface geochemistry, geological mapping, and multiple geophysical surveys. These activities significantly improved the geological understanding of the Freeze Property and identified several new targets for follow-up.
The Company completed six drillholes totaling 2,282 metres at the Kismet Breccia Complex. All holes intersected copper mineralization, confirming and extending historical results from 1965. Drilling demonstrated that the Kismet breccia system is substantially larger than previously understood, now delineated over approximately 765 metres north–south and 135–150 metres east–west, and remaining open in all directions. Key outcomes from the 2025 drill program included:
- Broad intervals of near-surface copper mineralization, including long runs of oxide and sulfide assemblages in the first two holes.
- Expansion of the Kismet breccia footprint through step-out drilling to the north, east, and southeast.
- Identification of intrusive-hosted mineralization in hole KSMT25006, interpreted as a pyrite shell commonly associated with porphyry systems.
- Confirmation of multi-phase breccia architecture, with mineralization hosted in both clasts and matrix across multiple intrusive phases.
Surface exploration also resulted in the discovery of two new mineralized zones north of Kismet:

Management Discussion and Analysis
For the Three Months Ended October 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
- North Breccia Zone – a second mineralized breccia body located approximately 700 metres north of current drilling, displaying copper oxide and sulfide mineralization at surface.
- Frostfall Zone – a gold-bearing structural trend located 950 metres further north, returning grab samples up to 2.91 g/t Au.
These discoveries, combined with more than 2,300 soil and rock samples collected to date, support the presence of a broader metallogenic zonation across the Freeze Property, transitioning from copper-molybdenum in the south to copper-gold in the north.
Geophysical work completed during the period included a property-scale magnetotelluric (MT) survey, which identified three major high-resistivity intrusive bodies along an 11 × 4 kilometre NW-SE corridor. Kismet, North Breccia, and the CM prospect all occur along the flanks of these resistive features. The Company also initiated an Induced Polarization (IP) survey and planned an Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) conductivity survey to refine chargeability and conductivity targets. Integration of drill results with geophysical interpretations continues to support the potential for a large, multi-centre magmatic-hydrothermal system underlying the Freeze Project.
Operationally, the Company received approval from the U.S. Forest Service under a Categorical Exclusion, enabling expanded exploration on western claims and allowing future drilling at the CM prospect. This approval represents a significant milestone in advancing district-scale exploration across the property.
Assay results for drillholes KSMT25003 through KSMT25006, along with results from ongoing geophysical surveys, are expected to inform the design of an expanded Phase II drill program planned for the 2026 field season. The Company will continue to integrate geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets to refine its exploration model and prioritize targets for follow-up drilling.
For detailed information on the Company’s exploration activities, including drill results, geophysical surveys, and property-scale discoveries, please refer to the press releases filed by the Company, which are available on sedarplus.ca.
EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many exploration and evaluation assets. The Company has investigated title to all of its exploration and evaluation assets, and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties, are properly registered and in good standing.

Amie Project
On October 26, 2022, the Company entered into a mineral claim purchase agreement (the "Amie Purchase Agreement") with a vendor to acquire certain claims relating to the Amie Project by making a cash payment US$20,000 (paid (CA$27,495)). Upon execution of the Amie Purchase Agreement, the Company granted a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty (the "NSR") for certain eligible claims to the vendor, of which 1% may be repurchased by the Company for US$1,000,000 on or before December 31, 2027. Most of the claims comprising the Amie Project were subsequently acquired through staking.
The Amie project is located 15 km south of the community of Oreana, Owyhee County, Idaho. The land package is comprised of 53 lode claims, totalling an area of 5 km². The project is 100% owned and is located entirely on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. The project is prospective for high-grade epithermal gold-silver mineralization and is located approximately 36 kilometers from Integra Resources' DeLamar project and the historic DeLamar mine. Historical workings have been located on the property by IDEX geologists, including 11 adits, 4 shafts and 46 test pits. Work to date has focused on ground truthing the geology and mineralization of historical workings and mineral showings.
Freeze Project
The Freeze project, located in Washington County, Idaho, is within 5 km of Hercules Silver's Leviathan Porphyry Copper Discovery. The land package is comprised of 153 lode claims, totalling an area of 12 km².

The project is 100% owned and is located entirely on United States Forest Service (USFS) land. Work to date has identified a large copper-in-soil anomaly that has a 2 km strike length and occurs over a quartz eye porphyritic granodiorite intrusion. The property contains evidence of historical mining and exploration including workings such as historic pits, trenches, and dumps. No known drilling or geophysical surveys have been conducted on the property to date. Future work will consist of additional geochemical sampling, geological mapping, and an Induced Polarization (IP) survey over prospective geological targets.
Long Canyon Property
On November 16, 2022, the Company and USCM entered into a share purchase agreement (the “LGSPA”) to sell 70% of the Long Canyon Property, which was held by Long Canyon Resources Inc. through selling 70% issued and outstanding common shares of 1212242 B.C. LTD. and Long Canyon Resources Inc. The remaining 30% interest in Long Canyon Property is being held by the Company with a fair value of $140,058. The transaction was completed on December 15, 2022.
In exchange for the 70% interest in Long Canyon Property, USCM issued 1,000,000 common shares with a fair value of $276,801 and made a cash payment of $50,000 to the Company.
The Mineral Mountain Project
The Mineral Mountain Project (“Mineral Mountain”) is located in Lemhi County, Idaho, within five (5) kilometers of the historic lead-silver Leadville and Kimmel Mines, in the Junction Mining Distinct. Mineral Mountain has limited modern exploration and no known drilling.
Mineral Lease Agreement

All of the Company's exploration and evaluation properties remain in the exploration stage. Since inception, the Company has not generated revenue and does not expect to do so in the near term. The increases in Q126 and Q425 expenditures primarily reflect higher exploration and evaluation activity as the Company advanced its project pipeline. They also reflect increased operating costs associated with the broader scale-up of activities following completion of the RTO, including expanded support functions, additional compliance requirements, and ongoing corporate initiatives. The Company's net loss continued to be driven by exploration and evaluation expenditures and professional fees, both of which fluctuate period-to-period based on the level and timing of business activities.
Operating Expenses
In Q126, operating expenses totaled $3,046,634, reflecting an increase of $2,519,141 compared to the $527,493 incurred in Q125. The detailed breakdown of operating expenses for both periods is as follows:

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Consulting fees primarily attributable to expanded corporate development initiatives. These initiatives included enhanced strategic advisory services, support for business development activities, and the engagement of specialized consultants to advance the Company's growth objectives.
Exploration and Evaluation Costs ("E&E Costs") E&E Costs primarily encompass expenses incurred on projects, excluding acquisition costs (refer to the section "Exploration and Evaluation Assets"). In Q126 and Q125, the majority of E&E Costs related to activities on the Freeze Project.
Foreign exchange loss (gain) primarily arises from the translation of the Company's US$-denominated financial assets and liabilities into Canadian dollars.
General and administrative expenses consist of insurance, rent-related lease agreements that are not required to be capitalized under IFRS, and other general office expenses.
Management and directors' fees are primarily related to compensation paid or accrued to the Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) (refer to the section "Related Party Transactions and Balances").
Professional fees primarily encompass accounting and legal expenses incurred to support operations and the Transaction. These fees also include compensation for the Company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (refer to the section "Related Party Transactions and Balances").
Share-based payments primarily involve the recognition of the fair value of options and restricted stock units (RSUs) granted during the vesting period. Previously recognized share-based payments for forfeited options and RSUs are reversed as a recovery on the date of forfeiture.
Shareholder information and investor relations are primarily encompassing costs incurred to enhance communication with investors and increase the Company's visibility among the investment community. The increase in these costs reflects the broader scale-up in operational activity following completion of the RTO.
Transfer agent, regulatory, and filing fees reflect the costs incurred to maintain the Company's public listing and compliance with applicable securities regulations.
Other income (expenses)
In Q126, other expenses totaled $3,923, compared to other income of $50,000 in Q125. The detailed breakdown of other income for both quarters is as follows:
| October 31, 2025 | October 31, 2024 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | |
| Other income (expenses) | |||
| Accretion of interest of lease obligation | (3,923) | - | (3,923) |
| Other income | - | 50,000 | (50,000) |
| Total other expenses | (3,923) | 50,000 | (53,923) |
Accretion of interest on the lease obligation represents the non-cash expense recognized over the term of the Company's lease agreements. This expense reflects the unwinding of the discount applied to lease liabilities at initial recognition, in accordance with IFRS 16 – Leases.
Other income recorded in Q125 relates to a dividend payment of $50,000 received from 1212242 B.C. LTD for the Company's 30% ownership interest.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of October 31, 2025, and July 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $4,313,326 and $2,048,528, respectively, which included cash of $5,121,402 and $1,603,811, respectively.
Cash Flow
| FY26 | FY25 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Cash flow used in operating activities | (1,461,738) | (149,510) |
| Cash flow used in investing activities | (226,830) | (346,368) |
| Cash flow provided by financing activities | 5,206,159 | 200,000 |
| Increase (decrease) in cash | 3,517,591 | (295,878) |
Cash used in operating activities are determined based on the adjusted net loss, which accounts for items not affecting cash and the change in non-cash working capital.
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities primarily related to costs incurred on exploration and evaluation assets, offset by proceeds received from such assets.
During FY26, the Company incurred staking fees and acquisition costs totaling $222,668 across various projects, compared to $396,368 in FY25.
During FY26, the Company also made a reclamation deposit of $4,162 (US$3,000) as collateral for the Freeze Project in anticipation of potential future operations.
During FY25, 1212242 B.C. Ltd. declared and paid a dividend of $50,000 to the Company in respect of its 30% ownership interest.
Cash used in financing activities primarily related to the net proceeds from the issuance of common shares and promissory notes.
During FY26, the Company completed a brokered private placement of 8,867,099 units at a price of $0.60 per unit, raising gross proceeds of $5,320,259 and paying finders' fees of $204,419.
In addition, the Company received cash proceeds of $113,260 from the exercise of options and warrants.
The Company also incurred share issuance costs of $12,536 in connection with shares issued during FY26.
The Company expects to obtain financing in the future primarily through further equity financings. At present, the Company has no operations that generate cash flow, and its financial success depends on management's ability to discover economically viable mineral deposits and arrange the required funding through future equity issuances, asset sales, or a combination thereof. The mineral exploration process can take many years and is subject to factors beyond the Company's control. The Company relies on equity financings and the exercise of options and warrants to fund its exploration activities and corporate and overhead expenses. Many factors influence the Company's ability to raise funds, including the health of the resource market, the climate for mineral exploration investment, the Company's track record, and the experience and caliber of its management. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of exploration activities.
The Company's operations to date have been financed by issuing securities. Its ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to obtain additional financing to meet its obligations as they come due. If the Company were

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
unable to continue as a going concern, significant adjustments would be required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and to the balance sheet classifications currently used.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. As is typical within the mineral exploration sector, the Company is subject to a range of risks and uncertainties inherent to the industry:
- Capital Intensity: Mineral exploration and development are capital-intensive at all stages, requiring significant ongoing investment.
- Commodity Price Volatility: Fluctuations in global commodity prices directly impact project economics and investor sentiment.
- Market and Currency Risks: The Company is exposed to variations in market sentiment, exchange rates, and inflationary pressures, all of which may affect operating costs and financing capacity.
- Revenue Limitations: At present, the Company has no operating revenue other than interest income. Exploration activities are not expected to generate near-term cash flows.
- Financing Dependence: The Company will rely primarily on equity financing to fund exploration programs and property acquisitions. Access to capital markets and investor appetite remain critical to sustaining operations.
