INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of M3 Metals Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of M3 Metals Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at August 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company has a deficit of $43,039,855 and has incurred ongoing losses since inception. As stated in Note 1, these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year ended. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our auditor's report.
Assessment of Impairment Indicators of Exploration and Evaluation Assets ("E&E Assets")
As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the Company's E&E Assets was $1,382,560 as of August 31, 2025. As more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, management assesses E&E Assets for indicators of impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount.

Telephone (604) 687-0947 Davidson-co.com
The principal considerations for our determination that the assessment of impairment indicators of the E&E Assets is a key audit matter is that there was judgment made by management when assessing whether there were indicators of impairment, specifically relating to the property's carrying amount which is impacted by the Company's intent and ability to continue to explore and evaluate the property. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate audit evidence relating to the judgments made by management in their assessment of indicators of impairment that could give rise to the requirement to prepare an estimate of the recoverable amount of the E&E Assets.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures included, among others:
- Evaluating management's assessment of impairment indicators in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.
- Evaluating the intent for the E&E Assets through discussion and communication with management.
- Reviewing the Company's recent expenditure activity.
- Assessing compliance with agreements including reviewing option agreements
- Assessing the Company's rights to explore E&E Assets including confirmation request to optionor to ensure good standing of agreement
- Obtaining, on a test basis through government websites, confirmation of title to ensure mineral rights underlying the E&E Assets are in good standing.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Carmen Newnham.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2025 AND 2024
(EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
M3 Metals Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) on February 27, 2007 and is listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol V.MT. The Company's business is to acquire, explore and develop interests in mineral properties located in North America.
The Company's registered office is Suite 650 – 1188 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6E 4A2. The Company maintains an executive office at Suite 300 - 1455 Bellevue Avenue, West Vancouver, BC, Canada, V7T 1C3.
The Company's exploration and evaluation properties are at the exploration and evaluation stage and are without a known body of commercial ore. The business of exploring for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to establish ore reserves, to develop metallurgical processes, to acquire construction and operating permits and to construct mining and processing facilities.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of operations of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, aboriginal claims, and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements. The Company's assets may also be subject to increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, political uncertainty and currency exchange fluctuations and restrictions.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. The Company has a deficit of $43,039,855 (2024 - $42,718,173) and has incurred ongoing losses since inception. As at August 31, 2025, the Company had not advanced any of its properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day to day activities through operations. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration activities and its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. The Company may require additional financing for the upcoming fiscal year in order to maintain its operations and exploration activities. These events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exits that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
These consolidated financial statements were reviewed, approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on December 18, 2025.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2025 AND 2024
(EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)
2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, with the exception of certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as explained in the material accounting policy information set out below. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars ("CAD"), unless otherwise noted.
The material accounting policy information set out in below has been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, ML Nevada Corp. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiary have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.
Transactions in currencies other than Canadian dollars are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period end exchange rate while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in comprehensive income (loss).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the period.
Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.
The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include the recoverability of exploration and evaluation properties, valuation of share-based compensation, and recognition of deferred tax amounts.
Critical judgments exercised in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:

(EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)
2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Use of estimates (continued)
Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation properties
Management determined exploration, evaluation, and related costs incurred which are capitalized may have future economic benefits and may be economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including, geologic and other technical information, a history of conversion of mineral deposits with similar characteristics to its own properties to proven and probable mineral reserves, the quality and capacity of existing infrastructure facilities, evaluation of permitting and environmental issues and local support for the project.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustments are as follows:
Valuation of share-based compensation
The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based compensation. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate, and forecasted dividend rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company's earnings and equity reserves.
Income taxes
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectation of future taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified.
Exploration and evaluation properties
Pre-exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Costs directly related to the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation properties are capitalized once the legal rights to explore the exploration and evaluation properties are acquired or obtained. When the technical and commercial viability of a mineral resource has been demonstrated and a development decision has been made, the capitalized costs of the related property are transferred to mining assets and depreciated using the units of production method on commencement of commercial production.
If it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs are not recoverable, or the property is abandoned or management has determined an impairment in value, the property is written down to its recoverable amount. Exploration and evaluation properties are reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount.
Restoration and environmental obligations
The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-term assets, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future restoration cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized to exploration and evaluation properties along with a corresponding increase in the restoration provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The restoration asset will be depreciated on the same basis as the related assets.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2025 AND 2024
(EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)
2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Use of estimates (continued)
The Company's estimates restoration costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to the related asset with a corresponding entry to the restoration provision. The Company's estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates.
Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in amount and timing of the Company's estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to profit and loss for the period.
As at August 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no significant restoration and environmental obligations.
Share-based compensation
The Company operates an employee stock option plan. Share-based compensation to employees is measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based compensation to non-employees is measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to reserves. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. On exercise of stock options, any amounts related to the initial value of the stock options, along with the proceeds from exercise are recorded to share capital. On expiration of stock options, the corresponding amounts related to the initial value of the stock options are transferred to deficit.
Financial instruments
The following is the Company's accounting policy for financial instruments under IFRS 9:
Financial assets
On initial recognition, financial assets are recognized at fair value and are subsequently classified and measured at: (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"); or (iii) fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial asset is measured at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition except for financial assets at FVTPL where transaction costs are expensed. All financial assets not classified and measured at amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income/loss.
The classification determines the method by which the financial assets are carried on the statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded. Cash is classified as amortized cost and marketable securities is classified as FVTPL.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Financial instruments (continued)
Impairment
An ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are designated as either: (i) fair value through profit or loss; or (ii) amortized cost. All financial liabilities are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities at FVTPL. The classification determines the method by which the financial liabilities are carried on the statements of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as amortized cost and carried on the statements of financial position at amortized cost.
As at August 31, 2025, the Company does not have any derivative financial liabilities.
Warrants
Finder’s warrants are measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model at the issue date. The value of warrants are reclassified from reserves to share capital when exercised or expired.
Income taxes
Current income tax:
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the country where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred income tax:
Deferred income tax is provided for, based on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Income taxes (continued)
Deferred income tax (continued):
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Flow-through shares:
Canadian income tax legislation permits an enterprise to issue securities referred to as flow-through shares, whereby the investor can claim the tax deductions arising from the renunciation of the related resource expenditures. The Company accounts for flow-through shares whereby the premium paid, if any, for the flow-through shares in excess of the market value of the shares without flow-through features at the time of issue is credited to other liabilities and included in profit or loss on a pro-rata basis at the same time the qualifying expenditures are made.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amount of the Company's assets (which include property and equipment and exploration and evaluation properties) is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of an asset's fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years. Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.
Basic and diluted income (loss) per share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income(loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods. Potentially dilutive options and warrants excluded from diluted loss per share totalled 5,800,000 (2024 – 5,800,000).

On October 24, 2023, the Company obtained regulatory approval from the TSX-V for a mineral property option and joint venture agreement (the "Surge Agreement") with Surge Battery Metals Inc. ("Surge") entered into in July 2023. The Surge Agreement grants Surge the right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Great Texas Spring Claims by making the following payments to the Company on or before the date that is five years from the date of the agreement:
i. to earn a 50% percent interest Surge must make a cash payment to the Company of $500,000 (received) and must issue to the Company a total of 2,000,000 (issued at a value of $1,180,000 (Note 3)) of Surge's common shares upon Closing;
ii. to earn an additional 20% percent interest in the Great Texas Springs Claims, Surge must make a cash payment to the Company of $250,000, issue to the Company a total of 2,000,000 of Surge's common shares and make $250,000 in exploration expenditures; and
iii. to earn an additional 10% percent interest in the Great Texas Springs Claims, Surge must make a cash payment to the Company of $500,000 and issue to the Company a total of 1,000,000 of Surge's common shares.
In August 2024, the Company entered into a mineral property option purchase and sale agreement ("Surge Purchase Agreement") with Surge for Surge to acquire the remaining 50% interest in the Great Texas Springs Claims for 1,200,000 common shares of Surge. In August 2025, the Company closed this agreement and received 1,200,000 common shares of Surge at a fair value of $300,000.
Lakshmi Property
On October 19, 2023, the Company obtained regulatory approval from the TSX-V of a mineral property option agreement entered into in May 2023 (the "Lakshmi Option Agreement") with IMEx Consultants Inc. ("IMEx") to acquire up to an eighty (80%) percent interest in the Lakshmi Property (the "Lakshmi Property") located in California.
To obtain a 60% interest in the Lakshmi Property, the Company must:
i. Issue 2,000,000 shares (issued) to IMEx and pay a sum of US$150,000 (paid) upon regulatory approval of the Lakshmi Option Agreement; and
ii. Incur US$400,000 in exploration expenditures on the Lakshmi Property within twelve months of regulatory approval of the Lakshmi Option Agreement (see below).
The Company can acquire the additional twenty (20%) percent interest in the Lakshmi Property by issuing an additional 2,000,000 shares to the Vendor and incurring an additional US$2,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Lakshmi Property within thirty-six months of regulatory approval of the Lakshmi Option Agreement.
On November 1, 2024, the Company and IMEx amended the Lakshmi Option Agreement to eliminate the US$400,000 exploration expenditure requirement resulting in the Company earning the 60% interest in the Lakshmi Property.

10. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers its capital structure to include the components of shareholders' equity. Management's objective is to ensure that there is sufficient capital to minimize liquidity risk and to continue as a going concern. As the Company's properties are in the exploration and evaluation stage, the Company is currently unable to self-finance its operations. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future, or that the terms of such financings will be favorable.
The Company's share capital is not subject to any external restrictions. The Company did not change its approach to capital management during the year ended August 31, 2025.
11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
- Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
- Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, marketable securities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments, other than marketable securities, approximates their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Marketable securities are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs.
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities including currency, credit, interest rate, liquidity and commodity price risk.
a) Currency risk
The Company conducts exploration and evaluation activities in the United States. As such, it is subject to risk due to fluctuations in the exchange rates for the Canadian and US dollars. As at August 31, 2025 the Company had foreign currency net monetary financial assets of US$1,979. Each 10% change in the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar will result in a foreign exchange gain/loss of approximately CDN$139 (US$191).
b) Credit risk
Credit risk is risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's cash is held in large Canadian financial institutions and GST receivable is due from the Government of Canada. The Company's financial instrument related to the GST receivable is not exposed to significant credit risk.
c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. There is no interest rate risk, as the Company has no interest bearing debt subject to floating interest rates.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to raise the required capital through future equity or debt issuances. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning, and approval of significant expenditures and commitments. As at August 31, 2025 the Company had a cash balance of $75,217 to settle current liabilities of $124,909.
e) Commodity price risk
The ability of the Company to explore and evaluate its exploration and evaluation properties and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the price of gold. The Company monitors lithium prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.
12. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company has one operating segment, being the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation properties. Geographic information is as follows:
