LEADING EDGE MATERIALS CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2025
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

  1. Nature of Operations

The Company is a Canadian public company primarily focused on developing a portfolio of critical raw material projects located in the European Union. The portfolio of projects includes the 100% owned Woxna Graphite mine (Sweden), 100% owned Norra Kärr HREE project (Sweden) and the 51% owned Bihor Sud Nickel Cobalt exploration alliance (Romania). The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under the symbol "LEM", on the OTCQB under the symbol "LEMIF", on NASDAQ First North under the symbol "LEMSE" and on Frankfurt under the symbol "7FL". The Company's principal office is located at 14th Floor 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC Canada V6E 4H1.

During the six months ended April 30, 2025 the Company recorded a net loss of $1,848,384 and, as at April 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $51,201,042 and working capital of $1,191,514.

The Company is maintaining the Woxna Graphite Mine in a production-ready state while minimizing holding costs. An internal study completed in early 2022 assessed the potential for restarting operations and upgrading the processing plant to produce high-quality flake graphite concentrate. Work is now underway to update this study, forming the basis of a business plan to support potential project financing, customer prepayments, and access to Swedish or EU public funding.

The Company is developing a Rapid Development Plan ("RDP") for Norra Kärr to enable the earliest possible production of heavy rare earth element (HREE)-rich eudialyte concentrate and industrial mineral nepheline syenite. A phased, small-scale start is under consideration to allow early access to the deposit, initial sales of nepheline syenite, early cash flow, and stockpiling of eudialyte concentrate for future processing. This approach is designed to reduce both risk and environmental impact. On 24 March 2025, the EU announced its first list of Strategic Projects under the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA); Norra Kärr was not included. The Company plans to reapply in the next round of applications.

Exploration activities at the Bihor Sud project continued in 2025, supported by the addition of four new geologists in January. Work included underground mapping, diamond drilling, geophysics, core logging, and sampling. The Company's goal is to define a large-scale, mineable mineral resource. Drilling began in gallery G2 in 2025, targeting promising Zinc-Lead-Copper-Silver mineralization. Results to date are encouraging and underscore the project's strong potential for a significant polymetallic discovery.

The Company anticipates that it has sufficient funding to meet anticipated levels of corporate administration and overheads for the ensuing twelve months, however, it will need additional capital to recommence operations at the Woxna Graphite Mine and/or modernize the plant to produce value added production and to fund future development of the Norra Kärr Property. There is no assurance such additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. In the longer term the recoverability of the carrying value of the Company's long-lived assets is dependent upon the Company's ability to preserve its interest in the underlying mineral property interests, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations and the ability of the Company to obtain financing to support its ongoing exploration and development programs, and mining operations.

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") appropriate for a going concern. The going concern basis of accounting assumes the Company will continue to realize the value of its assets and discharge its liabilities and other obligations in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be required to realize the value of its assets in other than the ordinary course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to repay its liabilities and meet its other obligations in the ordinary course of business or continue operations.

(a) Graphite Concessions

Through Woxna, the Company holds a 100% interest in the Woxna Graphite Mine including the Kringelgruvan concession, The Woxna Graphite Mine is located in Ovanaker Municipality, Gavleborg County, central Sweden. Concessions over Mattsmyra, Gropabo and Mansberg have lapsed. The Company applied for exploration permits over Mattsmyra and Gropabo areas, which were declined. The Company has appealed this decision. The Company has been granted an exploration permit over Mansberg.

In 1993 Woxna entered into agreements under which it acquired:

(i) the Kringelgruvan concession for an initial payment of SEK 150,000 and a further payment of SEK 4,000,000 (the "Property Acquisition Obligation"); and
(ii) the Mattsmyra, Gropabo and Mansberg concessions (the "Graphite Concessions") for an initial payment of SEK 32,500 and a further payment of SEK 1,000,000 on each of the three concessions (the "Additional Consideration").

Payment of the Property Acquisition Obligation and the Additional Consideration is to be made to a Swedish governmental agency and will be based on annual production, at a rate of SEK 20 per metric ton processed and is payable only once accumulated profits have been generated from the individual concessions.

(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

4. Exploration and Evaluation Assets (continued)

During fiscal 2014 the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the Kringelgruvan concession and the Woxna Graphite Mine was demonstrated, transitioning the Kringelgruvan concession to the development stage of mining. Accordingly, the costs of the exploration and evaluation assets attributed to the Kringelgruvan concession and the Woxna Graphite Mine were reclassified to property, plant and equipment. See also Note 5.

Management has reviewed the fair value of the asset as at June 30, 2025, and concluded that no impairment write-down is required.

(b) Norra Kärr

The Norra Kärr Property consists of an exploration permit (Norra Kärr nr 1), valid until August 31, 2026, located in south-central Sweden. In August 2024, the Company submitted an application for Strategic Project status under the European Union's Critical Raw Materials Act ("CRMA") and, in December 2024, submitted a new application for an Exploitation Concession ("Bearbetningskoncession") 25-year mining lease to the Mining Inspectorate of Sweden ("Bergsstaten"). A decision on the Bearbetningskoncession is expected in Q4 2025.

(c) Romania Exploration Alliance

In fiscal 2017 the Company and REMAT Group Management SRL ("REMAT") agreed to pursue the investigation and initiation of a prospecting permit application over the Bihor Sud perimeter in Romania. REMAT proceeded to incorporate LEM Resources SRL ("LEM Romania") in fiscal 2017. LEM Romania successfully applied for a non-exclusive prospecting permit (the "Permit") over 25.5 square kilometers in the Bihor area (the "Project"). On August 9, 2018, the Company and REMAT completed a share purchase agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement") and executed a shareholders' joint venture agreement (the "JV Agreement") whereby the Company acquired an initial 51% ownership interest (the "Initial Interest") in LEM Romania, by issuing 367,006 common shares of the Company at a fair value of $165,152. As LEM Romania had no assets or liabilities at the time of acquisition of the initial interest, the Company recorded the initial consideration as general exploration expenses. A finder's fee of 5% (the "Finder's Fee") related to the Project will be paid in stages.

Under the JV Agreement the Company has agreed to issue to REMAT certain amounts of shares in the Company upon different milestones being achieved (the "Bonus Shares") as per below;

(i) 550,509 shares upon the signing of an exploration license; (Issued on May 27, 2022)
(ii) A maximum of 3,670,062 shares upon identification of any historic Ni-Co and/or Ag-base metal mineral resource estimates at various tonnage thresholds;
(iii) 734,012 shares upon the filing of a NI 43-101 technical report that establishes a mineral resource on any portion of the Project, with an additional maximum 4,404,072 shares subject to such Ni-Co and/or Ag-base metal mineral resource meeting various tonnage thresholds; and
(iv) 917,515 shares upon the filing of a Feasibility Study technical report.

Under the JV Agreement, upon the filing of a Feasibility Study technical report REMAT will transfer 39% in LEM Romania to the Company free of any payment bringing the Company's ownership in LEM Romania to 90%.

On May 17, 2022, the company signed the Bihor Sud Exploration License between LEM Romania and the National Agency for Mineral Resources, accordingly exploration and evaluation costs for the project will now be capitalized. On May 27, 2022, the company issued 550,509 shares to REMAT at a fair value of $178,916 and issued 27,525 common shares at a fair value of $9,083 as Finder's Fee, this consideration is capitalized as acquisition cost for LEM Romania.

During fiscal 2014 technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources at the Woxna Graphite Mine was demonstrated, transitioning the Company to the development stage of mining. Upon the transition, costs on the exploration and evaluation assets attributed to the mine were reclassified to property, plant and equipment. On August 1, 2015, the refurbishment and commissioning of the Woxna Graphite Mine was completed.

During fiscal 2019 management assessed whether there were any indications of impairment of the Company's property, plant and equipment as required by IAS 36. In light of the continued suspension of the operations of the Woxna Graphite Mine, large net loss and the low trading value of the Company's common shares, management concluded there were indications of impairment.

When indications of impairment are determined to be present, IAS 36 requires the Company to estimate the recoverable amount of the Company's property, plant and equipment. The Company did not have sufficient verifiable information to prepare adequately detailed and meaningful calculations of fair value less costs of disposal or value in use. Therefore, the Company applied a value in use method that took into account the Company's financial position and results of operations and operational issues among other factors in determining an estimated recoverable amount. This method indicated that an impairment provision of $8,800,000 was appropriate in fiscal 2019.

As at April 30, 2025 the Company has recognized $573,413 (October 31, 2024 - $520,480) for the Property Acquisition Obligation associated with the Kringelgruvan concession, as described in Note 4(a)(i).

6. Provision for Site Restoration

Although the ultimate amount of the decommissioning obligation for the Kringelgruvan concession is uncertain, the fair value of this obligation is based on information currently available. Significant closure activities include land rehabilitation, demolition of buildings and mine facilities and other costs. The provision for site restoration may be subject to change based on management's current estimates, changes in remediation technology or changes to the applicable laws and regulations. The total undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows to settle the Company's risk adjusted estimated obligation is SEK 40,000,000 and is expected to be incurred in 2041.

The fair value of the decommissioning obligation was calculated using a discounted cash flow approach based on a risk-free rate of 2.33% (2024 – 2.097%) and an inflation factor of 2.00% (2024 – 2.00%). Settlement of the obligation is expected to be funded from general corporate funds at the time of decommissioning. Changes to the decommissioning obligation were as follows:

Balance at October 31, 2023 4,173,494
Accretion 125,121
Revision of estimates 628,188

As at April 30, 2025 reclamation deposits totaling $106,820 (October 31, 2024 - $96,569) have been paid. The reclamation deposits were placed as security for site restoration on the Kringelgruvan concession and on certain exploration and evaluation assets. The Company has no other property restoration obligations.

9,200,000 stock options were granted at an exercise price of $0.10 during the year ended October 31, 2024 (2023 - 4,200,000). The value of options granted was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. A weighted average grant date fair value of $0.08075 (2023 - $0.15438) was calculated using expected stock price volatility of 111.55%, risk free rate of 3.98% and option life of five years are based on the Company's historical share price volatility and option life.

450,000 stock options were granted at an exercise price of $0.10 during the year ended October 31, 2024 (2023 - 500,000). The value of options granted was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

10. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Categories of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"); amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments are classified into the following categories:

Financial Instrument Category April 30, 2025 $ October 31, 2024 $
Cash FVTPL 1,288,821 3,460,217
Reclamation deposit amortized cost 106,820 96,569
Investments FVTPL 15,918 22,550
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities amortized cost (317,662) (564,120)
Property acquisition obligation amortized cost (573,413) (520,480)

The Company's financial instruments recorded at fair value require disclosure about how the fair value was determined based on significant levels of inputs described in the following hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and value to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The recorded amounts for amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The recorded amounts for the reclamation deposit and property acquisition obligation approximates their fair value. The Company's fair value of cash under the fair value hierarchy is measured using Level 1.

The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, amounts receivable and reclamation deposit. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in cash, amounts receivable and reclamation deposit is remote.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have the resources to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company manages this risk by closely monitoring cash forecasts and managing resources to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations. The following table is based on the contractual maturity dates of financial assets and liabilities and the earliest date on which the Company can be required to settle financial liabilities.

Contractual Maturity Analysis at April 30, 2025

Property acquisition obligation (573,413) (573,413) - (573,413) -

Market Risk

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

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash bear floating rates of interest. The interest rate risk on cash and on the Company's obligations are not considered significant.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian Dollar and major transactions are transacted in Canadian Dollars, Swedish Krona ("SEK") and Romanian Leu ("RON). The Company maintains SEK bank accounts in Sweden and RON bank balances in Romania to support the cash needs of its foreign operations. Management believes the foreign exchange risk related to currency conversions is minimal and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk. At April 30, 2025, 1 Canadian Dollar was equal to 6.9758 SEK as per Swedish Central Bank and 1 Canadian Dollar was equal to 3.1868 RON as per Romania Bank.

Balances are as follows:

SEK CDN $ Equivalent RON CDN $ Equivalent
Cash 1,660,633 238,057 370,193 116,163
VAT receivable 170,314 24,415 253,083 79,415
Reclamation deposit 745,153 106,820 - -
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (805,382) (115,454) (173,393) (54,409)
Property acquisition obligation (4,000,000) (573,413) - -
(2,229,282) (319,575) 449,883 141,169

Based on the net exposures as of April 30, 2025 and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% fluctuation of the Canadian Dollar against the SEK and RON would result in the Company's net impact being approximately respectively $31,958 & $14,117 higher or lower.

Capital Management

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain development of the business. The Company defines capital that it manages as share capital and cash. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
