Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of Q2 Metals Corp.

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Q2 Metals Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in cash flows and equity for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits 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 audits of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. 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.

We have determined that there is the following key audit matter to communicate in our auditor's report:

Key audit matter: How our audit addressed the key audit matter:
Assessment of impairment indicators of Exploration and evaluation assets. Our approach to addressing the matter included the following procedures, among others:
Refer to note 2 – Material accounting policy: Interest in exploration properties and exploration and evaluation expenditures; note 2 – Material accounting policy: Impairment of non-financial assets; note 3 – Critical judgements and estimation uncertainties; and note 6 – Interest in exploration properties and exploration and evaluation expenditures. Evaluated the reasonableness of management's assessment of impairment indicators, which included the following:
Management assesses at each reporting period whether there is an indication that the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets may not be recoverable. Management applies significant judgement in assessing whether indicators of impairment exist that necessitate impairment testing. Internal and external factors, such as (i) a significant decline in the market value of the Company's share price; (ii) changes in the Company's assessment of whether commercially viable quantities of mineral resources exist within the properties; and (iii) changes in metal prices, capital and Assessed the Company's market capitalization in comparison to the Company's net assets, which may be an indication of impairment.
Assessed the completeness of the factors that could be considered indicators of impairment, including consideration of evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
Confirmed that the Company's right to explore the properties had not expired.

operating costs, are evaluated by management in determining whether there are any indicators of impairment.

We considered this a key audit matter due to (i) the significance of the exploration and evaluation asset balance and (ii) the significant audit effort and subjectivity in applying audit procedures to assess the factors evaluated by management in its assessment of impairment indicators, which required significant management judgement.

  • Obtained management's written representations regarding the Company's future plans for the exploration and evaluation assets.
  • Assessed the reasonableness of the Company's financial statement disclosure regarding their exploration and evaluation assets.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis", but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

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 audits 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 audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 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, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of 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 judgement 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.
  • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes 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 period 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 William Nichols.

For the years ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

  1. Nature of operations and going concern

Q2 Metals Corp. (“Q2 Metals” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on May 6, 2010. The Company is principally engaged in the business of exploring and developing base and precious metal mineral properties. Substantially all of the efforts of the Company are devoted to these business activities and to date the Company has not earned significant revenues. The head office of the Company is located at Suite 904 - 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1T2.

On January 9, 2023, the Company changed its name from Queensland Gold Hills Corp to Q2 Metals Corp. The Company’s shares are listed on Tier 2 of the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada (“QTWO”), the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany (“458”), and the OTCQB (“QUEXF”).

The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration and development programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation properties and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise additional financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying values.

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 exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Project title may be subject to social and government licensing requirements or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, indigenous claims, and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company’s assets may also be subject to increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, currency exchange fluctuations and restrictions and political uncertainty.

These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis of presentation, which assumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

As at February 28, 2025, the Company had not earned revenue and had an accumulated deficit of $17,074,814 (February 29, 2024 - $11,624,780), cash and cash equivalents of $12,385,275 (February 29, 2024 - $5,871,420), and working capital of $11,332,129 (February 29, 2024 - $4,684,369). The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and/or achieve profitable operations in the future. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.

  1. Material accounting policy information

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”), and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for cash and cash equivalents which are reflected at fair value as set out in the accounting policies below. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

  1. Material accounting policy information (Continued)

Basis of presentation and consolidation (Continued)

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Orefox Exploration Pty Ltd., and 95% ownership of Big Hill Gold Mining Company Pty Ltd. Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect those returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company and are de-consolidated from the date control ceases. The consolidated financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions.

Presentation and functional currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in the Canadian dollar functional currency, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, term deposits and short-term highly liquid investments with the original term to maturity of twelve months or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. At February 28, 2025 the Company had $11,110,000 (February 29, 2024 - $5,300,000) in cash equivalents.

Financial Instruments

Financial liabilities are generally classified and measured at fair value at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

The following table summarizes the classification of the Company's financial instruments:

Financial Assets Classification
Cash and cash equivalents Fair value through profit or loss
Reclamation bonds Fair value through profit or loss
Financial Liabilities
Trade and other payables Amortized cost

The classification of financial assets is based on how the entity manages its financial instruments and contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Transactions costs with respect to financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Interest in exploration properties and exploration and evaluation expenditures

All direct costs related to the acquisition of exploration property interests are capitalized into intangible assets on a property by property basis pending determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition. All direct costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration properties are capitalized until the properties to which they relate are placed into production, sold, abandoned or management has determined there to be impairment. If economically recoverable ore reserves are developed, capitalized costs of the related property are reclassified as mining assets and amortized using the unit-of-production method following commencement of production. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss in the statement of loss.

Provisions

A provision is recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pretax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. At the end of each financial position reporting date provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation. The Company had no material provisions as at February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.

Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities

A legal or constructive obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs may arise when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development or ongoing production of a mineral property interest. Such costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided for and capitalized at the start of each project to the carrying amount of the asset as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. The timing of the actual expenditure is dependent on a number of factors such as the life and nature of the asset, the operating license conditions and, when applicable, the environment in which the mine operates. Discount rates using a pretax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. These costs are charged against profit or loss over the economic life of the related asset, through amortization using either a unit-of-production or the straight-line method as appropriate. The related liability is adjusted for each period for the unwinding of the discount rate and for changes to the current market-based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation. Changes in estimates of decommissioning costs are accounted for as a change in the corresponding capitalized cost, except where a reduction in costs is greater than the unamortized capitalized cost of the related assets, in which case the capitalized cost is reduced to nil and the remaining adjustment is recognized in profit and loss. Costs for restoration of subsequent site damage which is created on an ongoing basis during production are provided for at their net present values and charged against profits as extraction progresses. The Company had no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental obligations as at February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date and recognized over the period during which the options vest. These payments include grant of share options, restricted share units ("RSUs"), deferred share units ("DSUs"), and performance share units ("PSUs"), collectively equity instruments ("EI"). Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in the share-based payment note.

The fair value of EI granted to employees are recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Company.

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the Company obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

The fair value of share options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. For RSUs, DSUs and PSUs, the fair value is based on the market price of the Company's share on the grant date.

  1. Material accounting policy information (Continued)

Share-based payments (Continued)

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of EI that are expected to vest at each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of EI that are expected to vest. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.

Consideration received on the exercise of share options and warrants is recorded as share capital and the equity reserve is transferred to share capital. Upon expiry, the cumulative amount previously recorded in reserves is transferred to deficit.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At each financial position reporting date, the carrying amounts of the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

At the end of each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist. If such an indication exists, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of loss.

Impairment indicators for exploration and evaluation assets include the ending of rights to explore, abandoning plans to explore an exploration property, a lack of discovery of economically recoverable reserves on completion of exploration and evaluation activities and on future production or proceeds of disposition.

Flow-through shares

Flow-through shares are a unique Canadian tax incentive. The Company has adopted a policy whereby flow-through proceeds are allocated between the offering of the common shares and the sale of tax benefits when the common shares are offered. The allocation is made based on the difference between the quoted market price of the common shares and the amount the investor pays for the flow-through shares. A flow-through share premium liability is recognized for the premium paid by the investors and is then reversed through the consolidated statement of loss in the period of renunciation.

Income taxes

Income tax on the loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement.

  1. Material accounting policy information (Continued)

Income taxes (Continued)

Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are not recognized for taxable temporary differences that arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, it is not recognized.

Loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

Segment reporting

The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment, the acquisition, exploration and development of base and precious metals including lithium and gold projects in Canada and Australia. As operations comprise a single reporting segment, amounts disclosed in the financial statements also represent segment amounts.

Share capital

Common shares and warrants are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or warrants are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Interest income

Interest income from financial assets is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.

  1. Critical judgements and estimation uncertainties

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company's management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates. The areas which require management to make significant judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:

Going concern

Evaluation of the ability of the Company to realize its strategy for funding its future needs for working capital involves making judgements.

For the years ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024

  1. Critical judgements and estimation uncertainties (Continued)

Capitalization of exploration and evaluation expenditures

Management has determined that exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred during the year have future economic benefits and are economically recoverable. In making this judgement, management has assessed various sources of information including, but not limited to, the geologic and metallurgic information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to proven and probable mineral reserves, scoping and feasibility studies, proximity of operating facilities, operating management expertise and existing permits. See Note 6 for details of capitalized exploration and evaluation expenditures.

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets

While assessing whether any indications of impairment exist for exploration and evaluation assets, consideration is given to both external and internal sources of information. Information the Company considers include changes in the market, economic and legal environment in which the Company operates that are not within its control and affect the recoverable amount of exploration and evaluation assets. Internal sources of information include the manner in which exploration and evaluation assets are being used or are expected to be used and indications of expected economic performance of the assets. Reductions in metal price forecasts, increases in estimated future costs of production, increases in estimated future capital costs, reductions in the amount of recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources and/or adverse current economics can result in a write-down of the carrying amounts of the Company's exploration and evaluation assets.

Share-based payments

Management determines costs for share-based payments using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based non-vested share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgement used in applying valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgements include estimating the future volatility of the stock price, expected dividend yield, future employee turnover rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviors and corporate performance. Such judgements and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates.

  1. Capital management

When managing capital, the Company's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to achieve optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of metallic resource assets. 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 team to sustain the future development of the business. The Company considers its capital to be equity, which comprises issued capital, equity reserve and accumulated deficit, which totaled $46,786,439 at February 28, 2025 (February 29, 2024 - $26,779,218).

The Company invests all capital not required for its immediate needs in short-term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents and other short-term guaranteed deposits, all held with select major Canadian chartered banks and financial institutions.

The Company is currently attempting to identify economic base and precious metal resources with an emphasis on lithium, gold, zinc, and silver, and as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned acquisitions and exploration, as well as pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed.

  1. Capital management (Continued)

Management has chosen to mitigate the risk and uncertainty associated with raising additional capital in current economic conditions by:
(i) maintaining a liquidity cushion in order to address any potential disruptions or industry downturns;
(ii) minimizing discretionary disbursements; and
(iii) exploring alternative sources of liquidity.

In light of the above, the Company will continue to assess new properties if the Company believes there is sufficient potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is appropriate. The Company's capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged during the years ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.

Other liabilities, measured at amortized cost
Trade and other payables $ 1,766,937 $ 2,081,333

Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

As at February 28, 2025, the Company's financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, reclamation bonds, trade and other payables. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these financial instruments.

Financial risk factors

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate, foreign exchange rate, and metals price risk). Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management. There were no changes in the risks, objectives, policies and procedures from the previous year.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company's liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company's access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. As at February 28, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12,385,275 (February 29, 2024 - $5,871,420) to settle current liabilities of $1,857,794 (February 29, 2024 - $2,081,333). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity. The Company has no other contractual obligations other than trade and other payables. As discussed in Note 1, the Company's ability to meet its obligations and carry out its planned exploration activities is uncertain and dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and securing additional financing.

  1. Financial instruments and financial risk factors (Continued)

Market risk

(a) Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in guaranteed investment certificates or interest-bearing accounts of select major Canadian chartered banks and financial institutions. The Company regularly monitors compliance to its cash management policy.

(b) Foreign currency risk

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and a significant portion of the Company's expenditures are transacted in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company's exposure to the foreign currency risk is minimal at this time but may increase as the Company develops its Australia-based properties.

(c) Commodity price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to base and precious metal prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

(d) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with amounts receivable, which is comprised primarily of GST/HST receivable due from the Government of Canada. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from its operations. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to amounts receivable is low.

Mia Project, Quebec

On November 21, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with CMH and certain investors in CMH ("CMH Nominees") to acquire a 100% interest in the 86 square kilometre Mia Lithium Project (the "Mia Project"). The Mia Project is comprised of 171 mineral claims and located 62 km East of Wemindji Community in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay Territory, Quebec, Canada.

To acquire a 100% interest in the Mia Project, the Company must:

  • Issue to CMH and the CMH Nominees 6,500,000 common shares (issued) and pay $200,000 within 3 days of TSXV acceptance of the acquisition (the "Effective Date") (paid);
  • Issue to CMH and the CMH Nominees 6,500,000 common shares and pay $150,000 on the six-month anniversary of Effective Date (issued and paid);

  • Pay to CMH and the CMH Nominees $150,000 on the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date (paid).

The Company earned a 100% interest in the Project on the closing date of October 11, 2023.

CMH retained a 3% net smelter returns royalty ('NSR') on the Mia Project (the "Mia NSR"), of which, up to 1% may be repurchased by the Company for $1,000,000 at any time prior to commercial production. CMH subsequently assigned 2% of the Mia NSR on 28 claims in favour of Franco-Nevada Corporation (the "Franco-Nevada NSR"). Separately, CMH assigned 2% of the Mia NSR on certain other mineral claims forming part of the Mia Project in favour of Eastmain Resources Inc. (the "Eastmain NSR"). As a result, CMH retains a 1% NSR on the claims that are part of the Franco-Nevada NSR and Eastmain NSR's and a 3% NSR on all other claims. The Eastmain NSR was extinguished by CMH on August 16, 2023. The Company assumed the obligations under the existing royalties.

On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with CMH to repurchase 2% of the Mia NSR on all claims that are not part of the Franco-Nevada NSR for total consideration of $1,280,400. The consideration is payable in a combination of cash and common shares of the Company. Lithium Royalty Corp. acquired the remaining 1% NSR held by CMH on all claims comprising the project. During the year ended February 29, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the NSR by issuing 1,400,000 common shares with a fair value of $392,000 and making aggregate cash payments of $888,400. As at February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, Franco Nevada Corporation holds a 2% NSR on 28 claims comprising the Mia Project and Lithium Royalty Corp. holds a 1% NSR on all Mia Project claims.

  1. Share capital

Common Shares

(a) Authorized - Unlimited number of common shares without par value.

(b) Issued - As at February 28, 2025, the Company had 147,582,124 (February 29, 2024–89,415,968) shares issued and outstanding.

Issued during the year ended February 28, 2025:

On June 13, 2024, 20,000,000 shares were issued with a fair value of $5,600,000 ($0.28 per share) in connection with the acquisition of the Cisco Project. See Note 6.

On July 31, 2024, the Company closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the "FT placement") by issuing 1,142,857 flow-through units of the Company at a price of $0.35 per unit (the "FT Units") for gross proceeds of $400,000. Each FT Unit consisted of one flow-through common shares (each, a "FT Share") and one half of one share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional non-flow-through common share at a price of $0.50 for two years.

  1. Income taxes

(a) Provision for income taxes

Major items causing the Company's income tax rate to differ from the federal statutory rate of 27.19% (February 29, 2024 – 27.0%) were as follows:

February 28, 2025 February 29, 2024
Net loss before taxes $ (5,184,034) $ (196,324)
Expected income tax recovery based on statutory rate (1,400,000) (53,000)
Adjustments to expected income tax benefit:
Share-based compensation 1,287,000 278,000
Effect of flow-through amounts 1,108,000 (419,000)
Deductible and non-deductible amounts (335,000) -
Change in benefit of tax assets not recognized (394,000) 194,000
Deferred income tax (recovery) $ 266,000 $ -

(b) Deductible temporary differences

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the following deductible temporary differences:

February 28, 2025 February 29, 2024
Share issue costs $ 186,000 $ 59,000
Interest in exploration properties (10,833,000) 830,000

Capital Loss carry-forwards 4,476,000 2,238,000
$ (896,000) $ 6,781,000

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and that taxable profit will be available against which the tax benefits can be utilized.
