(g) On July 17, 2025, the Company announced the Closing of the Castle and Excalibur Option Agreements and the start of the exploration programs at the Knauss Creek, Holy Grail and Excalibur projects.
Global Issues
Recent global issues, including the lingering economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflict have adversely affected workplaces, economies, supply chains and financial markets globally. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of these issues and their effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time.
Exploration Projects
Castle
The Castle Property consists of 14 contiguous mineral claims covering ~29.14 km² in the prolific Toodoggone gold-copper mineral district in north-central British Columbia (Figure 1). Castle is located approximately 100 km north-west of the Kemess mine complex and ~66 km south-east of the advanced stage Kutcho Copper VMS deposit and is accessible by helicopter from the Sturdee airstrip.
The main target at Castle is an alkalic Cu-Au porphyry deposit at depth. Markers of this potential deposit include (i) a kilometre-scale Au-Cu-Pb soil (talus fines) geochemical surface anomaly, (ii) the striking Castle and Abbey gossans and (iii) proximity to a prominent clay-K-feldspar-pyrite altered feldspar porphyry.
A Phase 1 field program being finalized by Prospect Ridge, Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd., and the Vendors will require approximately one to two weeks with a proposed budget of $390,000 and is designed to provide the information required to establish drill targets.
A 500 line-km airborne magnetic survey will be completed as soon as possible over the entire property. The magnetic survey will be followed up by a five line-km 3D IP survey covering the north and west Castle

gossan slopes. Concurrently, a program of prospecting and mapping will be conducted over both the Castle and Abbey gossans.
The object of the Phase 1 program is to provide multiple drill targets for a minimum 2,500 metre diamond drill program contemplated for as early as the summer of 2026, pending receipt of drill permits following the completion of the work program in the fall of 2025.
Figure 1 - Castle Property location in relation to Thesis Gold's Ranch and Lawyers projects and Amarc's AuRora discovery, Kemess South historic mine, and Kemess UG & East mines.
Excalibur
The road-accessible Excalibur Property consists of 13 contiguous mineral claims covering $\sim 27.71\mathrm{km}^2$ that are located $\sim 70\mathrm{km}$ north northeast of Smithers and $\sim 55\mathrm{km}$ northeast of Hazelton, British Columbia (Figure 2). On the Excalibur Property, suspected Bulkley and Babine intrusions cut Cretaceous stratified rocks (Skeena Group clastic rocks to the west and Kasalka Group andesitic rocks to the east). A 50 to 500 metre wide by $>1,600$ metre long east-west Babine feldspar±hornblende±biotite porphyry dyke runs along the southern property boundary. The dyke has been affected by a complex pattern of alteration ranging from unaltered to propylitic and phyllic alteration. Several outcrops of quartz-feldspar porphyry and granodiorite to the west are believed to be apophyses of the Bulkley stock exposed south of the Excalibur Property. No significant copper gold mineralization has been found in the main target area where there is less than $\sim 2\%$ outcrop.
Historic work has included mapping, soil sampling, IP, and ground magnetic surveys done by Canadian Superior in 1971-72 $^{1}$ . No significant work was conducted until 2019, when a former operator $^{1}$ cut five north-south trending and $2500 - 2700\mathrm{m}$ long lines separated by 400 to $800\mathrm{m}$ in preparation for a planned IP survey which was not completed before the project was returned to the Vendors. One hundred and forty

soil samples were collected at 50 to $100\mathrm{m}$ intervals along the cut lines, yielding a 750 metre interval along line 5200E with three samples exceeding $500~\mathrm{ppm}$ Cu $(>95^{\mathrm{th}}$ percentile considered highly anomalous; maximum value $1170~\mathrm{ppm}$ Cu) and 8 soil samples exceeding $8.9~\mathrm{ppm}$ Mo $(>80^{\mathrm{th}}$ percentile considered anomalous; maximum value $19~\mathrm{ppm}$ Mo) $^{1}$ . Another former operator completed a 259-line km airborne magnetic survey in $2021^{2}$ and collected 207 soil samples in $2022^{3}$ . Those results provided a more nuanced view of the magnetic target and expanded the areas of anomalous copper- and gold-in-soil within the target area.
A porphyry exploration target measuring $500 \times 950$ metres is suggested by historic IP and ground magnetic surveys as well as the 2021 airborne magnetic survey $^{2}$ and the $2019^{1}$ and $2022^{3}$ soil geochemistry results in an area with no mapped outcrops. The target contains anomalous Mo and Cu-in-soil within an area of a moderate IP chargeability response and moderately high magnetic response on the flanks of a chargeability high. The geophysical and geochemical signatures together could represent a central mineralized potassic alteration zone surrounded by a pyrite halo, similar to the setting of the Granisle and Bell Copper porphyry deposits of the Babine Plutonic Suite. The Property has never been drilled.

vicinity of the high Cu soil samples collected in 2019 and 2021. A recent property visit by Prospect Ridge management has confirmed that commercial logging activity has cleared much of the target area for the IP survey and may reduce the number of line kilometres that will need to be brushed.
The object of the initial work programs is to provide multiple drill targets for a minimum 2,000 metre diamond drill program contemplated for as early as the summer of 2026, pending receipt of drill permits that will be applied for after the conclusion of the current work program in fall, 2025.
Knauss Creek Property Overview
Property Description and Ownership
Prospect Ridge's Knauss Creek and Holy Grail Properties lie south of the "Golden Triangle" area of northwestern British Columbia in the Omineca and Skeena Mining Divisions. They are underlain by a sequence of stratified sediments of the Bowser Lake Group and Hazelton Group volcano-sedimentary rocks. These are intruded by dioritic to granodioritic batholiths.
The southern portion of the Knauss Creek Property is approximately 35 km northeast of the town of Terrace (Figure 1). It covers ~2,944 hectares in mineral claims and is fully owned by the Company subject to two separate 1.5% NSR royalties which may be bought down to 0.5% by the payment of $1 million to each royalty holder. It is easily accessible by Highway 16 and a bridge over the Skeena River that leads to a network of logging roads.
Highlights
The Knauss Creek Property is being explored for polymetallic veins. Placer deposits were mined in creeks adjacent, west and east, to the Property during the early part of the 20th century. The Property hosts the historical Dorreen mine. Many showings such as the Jay Veins, Hugin, Kandy, and Copper Ridge are gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc bearing. Other historical showings need to be investigated.
Holy Grail Property Overview
Property Description and Ownership
The Holy Grail Property starts 10 km north of Terrace, forming a horseshoe, with the eastern part surrounding the Knauss Creek Property (Figure 2). The Property is easy-accessible, bounded by two highways with CN rail, and high tension power and a network of logging roads crossing the Property which make for very cost-effective exploration. Some of the key areas are located below the tree line and can be worked nearly year-round. On October 30, 2024, the Company reduced its claim holdings in the northern part of the Property from 70,100 hectares to 59,608 hectares. The Property is fully owned by the Company, subject to two separate 1.5% NSR royalties which may be bought down to 0.5% by the payment of $1 million to each royalty holder.

Figure 2: Knauss Creek and Holy Grail properties.
Exploration Highlights
The Holy Grail Property has been very locally explored historically. The project area is being explored for gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc with the best showings being Shock & Awe and Fore Shore. The prospecting work done by the Company has allowed it to identify areas with high potential.
On January 18, 2024, the Company announced high-grade gold, silver, and copper results from grab samples taken at the Copper Ridge zone, located at the Knauss Creek property.
On May 22, 2024, the Company announced that prospecting during 2023 had led to the collection of highly anomalous rock samples on the Holy Grail Property. High-grade samples were obtained just west of the Knauss Creek claims block boundary in the vicinity of the Copper Ridge and Leon's Legacy showings.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the nine months ended May 31, 2025
Other high-grade results on the western limb of the Property are located on Mount Garland and Wesach Mountain.
On August 6, 2024, Prospect Ridge announced the commencement of an inaugural drilling program at the Copper Ridge zone. The drill program was designed to test high-priority targets inside the Copper Ridge zone which covers an area of 1,550 metres by 850 metres identified through extensive prospecting and surface sampling.
On November 19, 2024, the Company released the results of the initial drilling done on the Copper Ridge mineralized system during the 2024 field season.
Highlights include⁴:
- The initial drilling campaign at Copper Ridge included a total of 2,229 m across nine holes, and targeted surface geochemical anomalies covering an area over 1500 by 850 m identified during summer 2023 by prospecting. The drilling covered a 300 by 300 m area in the western portion and 300 by 150 m in the center portion of the Copper Ridge zone.
- Mineralized veins were regularly intersected in all holes with additional mineralization observed locally in fractures and the host rock. Three different 20-metre corridors (core length) of gold-silver and copper-gold-silver mineralization were identified.
During the current quarter the Company engaged the services of three geological consulting firms to review all available geological data on the Holy Grail and Knauss Creek Properties. The Company has recently received their reports and is integrating their recommendations into the work program for the 2025 field season.
On July 15, 2025, crews from Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. began a program of prospecting and mapping on 17 high priority exploration targets on the Company's Knauss Creek and Holy Grail projects.
The 4-week program will be based at the Company's fully equipped camp in Terrace and will utilize the Company's fleet of trucks and all-terrain vehicles, along with helicopter support. The goal of the program is to identify drill targets on the fully drill permitted Knauss Creek and Holy Grail projects that occupy a combined area of ~625.5 km².

Liquidity
The Company's historical capital needs have been met by issuance of shares. As at May 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital of $2,514,636 (August 31, 2024 - $4,081,342). The Company proposes to meet any additional financing requirements through equity financing. The Company's cash position as at May 31, 2025 was $191,389 (August 31, 2024 - $57,741) and short-term investments were $2,431,958 (August 31, 2024 - $4,172,510). During the year ended August 31, 2024, the Company completed financings for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,218,847.
Operating activities: The Company does not generate cash from operating activities. Net cash used in the Company for operating activities, which includes exploration activities, for the nine months ended May 31, 2025, was $1,413,152 (May 31, 2024 - $1,144,092), including net changes in non-cash working capital of $11,333 (May 31, 2024 - $122,129).
Investing activities: Net cash generated by the Company for investing activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2025, was $1,740,483 (May 31, 2024 - $nil) from proceeds received on the sale of short-term investments.
Financing activities: Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2025, was $178,683 (May 31, 2024 - $707,790), comprised lease payments of $133,612 (May 31, 2024 - $64,101), loan payments of $60,071 (May 31, 2024 - $33,269) and proceeds from private placement of $nil (May 31, 2024 - $805,160).
The Company does not have operations that generate positive cash flows, and it is unlikely that it will generate cash flows from operations in the foreseeable future. Cash requirements will depend primarily on the extent of future exploration programs. Subsequent phases will depend, both on cost and duration, and on results from previous phases, and it is therefore extremely difficult to predict future cash requirements.

order to provide returns and/or benefits for shareholders.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the administration of its corporate affairs and to provide funds for the development of its business. 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 and consultants to sustain future development of the business.
The Company has no revenue-generating operations and as such is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to develop its business and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as required.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach is reasonable given the size of the Company.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the nine months ended May 31, 2025. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values. 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 counterparty's inability to fulfil its payment obligations. The Company's receivables consist mainly of tax credit receivables due from the Government of Canada. As at May 31, 2025, the Company's exposure to credit risk is minimal.
Liquidity risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at May 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $191,389 and a short-term investment balance of $2,431,958 to settle current liabilities of $329,771. All of the Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. Management intends to meet its liabilities by actively pursuing investors.
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.
a) Interest rate risk
As at May 31, 2025, the Company was not subject to or exposed to any interest rate risk as it had no variable interest debt or investments.
b) Foreign currency risk
As at May 31, 2025, the Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk.
c) Price risk

Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires management to make estimates about, and apply assumptions or judgment to, future events and other matters that affect the reported amounts of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Assumptions, estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, expectations, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time at which the Company’s condensed interim financial statements are prepared.
The Company’s significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions are disclosed in Note 3 of the condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ended May 31, 2025.
Risks and Uncertainties
In conducting its business, the Company, like all exploration-stage mineral exploration companies, faces a variety of risks uncertainties. While unable to eliminate all of them, the Company aims at managing and reducing such risks as much as possible.
Exploration and Development - Resource exploration and development is a highly speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, but not limited to, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. Few exploration projects successfully achieve development due to factors that cannot be predicted or anticipated, and even one such factor may result in the economic viability of a project being detrimentally impacted such that it is neither feasible nor practical to proceed. The Company closely monitors its activities and those factors that could impact them and employs experienced consultants to assist in its risk management and to make timely adequate decisions.
Title Risks - Title to mineral properties 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 conveyance history characteristic of many mineral properties.
Permitting Risks - The development of mineral resources in British Columbia is subject to a comprehensive review, approval and permitting process involving various provincial and regional agencies, in addition to the various First Nations groups that have jurisdiction in the Company's area of claims. There can be no assurance given for the required approvals and permits for a mining project, even if technically and economically warranted, can be obtained in a timely or cost-effective manner.
Fluctuating Metal Prices - Factors beyond the control of the Company have a direct effect on global metal prices, which have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. Consequently, the economic viability of any of the Company’s exploration projects and the Company’s ability to finance the development of its projects cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in metal prices.
Environmental Regulations Permits and Licenses - Environmental laws and regulations could also impact the viability of a project. The Company has ensured that it has complied with these regulations, but there could be changes in legislation outside the Company's control that could also add a risk factor to a project.
Competition - The mineral exploration industry is intensely competitive in all its phases, and the Company competes with some companies that have greater financial and technical resources. Competition could adversely affect the Company's ability to acquire suitable properties or prospects in the future.
Future Financings - The Company's continued operation will be dependent in part upon its ability to procure additional financing. To date, the Company has done so through a combination of: (i) equity financing; and

(ii) cash payments received as property option payments from third parties. The current state of global equity markets has had a direct effect on the ability of exploration companies, including the Company, to finance project acquisition and development through the equity markets. There can be no assurance that forms of financing can be obtained at a future date. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis may cause the Company to postpone development plans, forfeit rights in some or all of the properties or joint ventures, or reduce or terminate some or all of the operations.
Price Volatility of Publicly Traded Securities - During recent months, global securities markets have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price that have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur.
Information regarding forward looking statements
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to those with respect to the prices of gold and other metals, the estimation of mineral resources and reserves, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, currency fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, Government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of pending litigation. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes” or variations of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions or economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, possible variations in grade and or recovery rates, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, accidents, labour disputes or other risks of the mining industry, delays in obtaining government approvals or financing or incompleteness of development or construction activities, risks relating to the integration of acquisitions, to international operations, and to the prices of gold and other metals. While the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law.
