The Company has prepared its condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at November 30, 2025 and for the three months then ended in Canadian dollars and in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company is an exploration stage company incorporated pursuant to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on March 31, 2011. The principal business of the Company is the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties, as well as exploration of mineral properties once acquired. The Company changed its name from Huntsman Exploration Inc. to Lux Metals Corp. on September 25, 2025. The Company's shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol "LXM" and on the US OTC Markets under the symbol "BBBMF". The address of the Company's corporate office and its principal place of business is 1615 – 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3L6.
The Company is currently focusing its financial resources on conducting exploration programs. The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the resource properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

Legear Property
On November 3, 2023, and as amended on May 24, 2024 and November 23, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Legear Property located in Ontario. Under the terms of the agreement the Company is required to make payments as follows:
- Issuance of 250,000 common shares of the Company upon approval by the TSX-V (issued and fair valued at $7,500); and

The vendor retains a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty, of which one-half (1%) may be repurchased by the Company for $500,000.
During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Legear Property claims lapsed and were re-staked by the Company. At August 31, 2025, further exploration on the Legear Property was neither budgeted nor planned. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment of $104,800.
Lux Lake Property
On February 25, 2025, and as amended on March 3, 2025, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the Lux Lake property, located in Saskatchewan. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to make payments as follows:
- Cash payment of $40,000 (paid) and issuance of 1,750,000 warrants, exercisable at a price of $0.07 per share for a period of five years, upon approval by the TSX-V (issued on April 9, 2025 and fair valued at $113,546); and
- Cash payment of an additional $40,000 and issuance of an additional 1,750,000 warrants, exercisable at a price of $0.07 per share for a period of five years, on or before February 25, 2026.
The property is subject to a 2% gross overriding royalty.
La Grande Project
On November 10, 2025, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the La Grande Project, located in Quebec. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company can acquire a 100% interest in the La Grande Project by first completing a private placement of at least $2,000,000 and then issuing the number of common shares of the Company equal to 19.9% of the then outstanding common shares to the vendor following such issuance.
The option agreement contains additional share issuances if the Company issues a technical report with certain ounces of gold equivalent mineralization. The property is subject to underlying NSR royalties of 4%. A director of the Company is an officer and director of the vendor. The agreement is subject to completion of the minimum $2,000,000 private placement and final TSX-V approval.
Exploration
Lux's exploration plans for fiscal 2026 include a 5,000 metre drill program on the La Grande Project. The drill program will mainly focus on zone 32, and will follow up on extensional targets along the shear corridor and tonalite.
The Company also intends to complete a high-resolution MAG survey over its Lux Lake Property, which will be followed up by a field program in the spring/summer.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company did not adopt any material accounting policies during the three months ended November 30, 2025:
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
Certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been issued by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are mandatory for accounting periods in the future. There are no updates applicable or consequential to the Company.
Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 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 consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18. This standard aims to improve the consistency and clarity of financial statement presentation and disclosures by providing updated guidance on the structure and content of financial statements. Key changes include enhanced requirements for the presentation of financial performance, financial position and cash flows, as well as additional disclosures to improve transparency and comparability.
IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of IFRS 18 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
Judgments in applying accounting policies
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below.
Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
The carrying values of capitalized exploration and evaluation assets are reviewed annually, or when indicators of impairment are present. In the case of undeveloped properties, there may be only inferred resources to allow management to form a basis for the impairment review. The review is based on the Company's intentions for the development of such a property. If a mineral property does not prove viable, all unrecoverable costs associated with the property are charged to profit or loss at the time the impairment determination is made.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments include cash, term deposit, marketable securities, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash, term deposit and marketable securities are classified as fair value through profit or loss. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost. The carrying values of financial instruments carried at amortized cost approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists principally of cash deposit. To minimize the credit risk on cash, the Company places the instrument with major Canadian and Australian financial institutions. The maximum amount of credit risk is equal to the carrying value of cash. The Company's management of credit risk has not changed materially from that of the year ended August 31, 2025.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company's projects and operations. As at November 30, 2025, the Company had contractual obligations consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $157,071, due within the next twelve months. All of the liabilities presented as accounts payable are due within 30 days of the reporting date. The Company's management of liquidity risk has not changed materially from that of the year ended August 31, 2025.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices and comprises: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimizing the return on capital. The Company's management of market risk has not changed materially from that of the year ended August 31, 2025.
i) Currency risk – Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has operations in Canada, the USA, and incurs operating and exploration expenditures in all currencies. The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar in relation to the US dollar would not have any material impact on the results of the Company. The Company does not use any techniques to mitigate currency risk.
ii) Interest rate risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on cash. The fair value interest rate risk on cash is immaterial, as the term deposits are short-term. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations. The Company has no interest-bearing financial liabilities.
iii) Other price risk – Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer by factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is exposed to other price risk on its marketable securities. A fluctuation in the trading price of the marketable securities of 10% would result in a $3,400 change in the Company's profit or loss.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at January 12, 2026, the Company had the following securities issued and outstanding:
| January 12, 2026 | November 30, 2025 | August 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common shares | 40,004,739 | 39,961,406 | 38,561,406 |
| Warrants | 21,893,333 | 21,936,666 | 23,336,666 |
| Stock options | 1,700,000 | 1,700,000 | 1,700,000 |
| Fully diluted shares | 63,598,072 | 63,598,072 | 63,598,072 |
RISKS
The Company, and the securities of the Company, should be considered a highly speculative investment. The following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Company's securities.
There are a number of outstanding securities and agreements pursuant to which common shares of the Company may be issued in the future. This will result in further dilution to the Company's shareholders.
The Company has a very limited history of operations, is in the early stage of development and has received no revenues other than insignificant interest revenues following its transition to a mineral exploration and development company. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises. There

can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or, if available, that the terms of such financing will be favourable. The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the near future.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral properties in which it has acquired an interest, no assurance whatsoever can be given that the Company's interests may not be challenged by third parties. If challenged, and if the challenge is sustained, it will have an adverse effect on the business of the Company. Title to mineral properties may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and may also be affected by undetected defects or the rights of Indigenous peoples.
Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company's operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the properties may be diminished or negated.
The exploration of mineral properties involves significant risks, which even experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to avoid. The price of metals has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, as it is affected by numerous factors that are beyond the Company's control, including international economic and political trends, tariffs, expectations of inflation or deflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction methods. The effect of these factors on the price of metals, and therefore, the economic viability of the Company's interests in the mineral properties cannot be accurately predicted. Furthermore, changing conditions in the financial markets and Canadian income tax legislation may have a direct impact on the Company's ability to raise funds for exploration expenditures. A drop in the availability of equity financings will likely impede spending. As a result of all these significant risks, it is quite possible that the Company may lose its investments in the Company's mineral property interests.
The Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be further negatively affected by recent geopolitical events.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Certain directors of the Company are also directors, officers and/or shareholders of other companies that are similarly engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploring natural resource properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The directors of the Company are required to act in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interest that they may have in any project opportunity of the Company. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Board of Directors, any director in a conflict will disclose his/her interest and abstain from voting in the matter(s). In determining whether the Company will participate in any project or opportunity, the directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at the time.
Current directors of the Company are as follows:
- Carl Ginn, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director
- Nathan Tribble, Director
- Matthew Herbert, Director
- Jean-Felix Lepage, Director
