CORPORATION OVERVIEW
SRQ Resources Inc. is a Canadian base metals corporation exploring for nickel, copper, and platinum group elements (PGEs) in the province of Québec. The Corporation was incorporated on June 2, 2021, under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Corporation's head office is located at #132 – 1320 Graham Blvd., Mont-Royal, Quebec, Canada, H3P 3C8. The Corporation's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") under the trading symbol "SRQ.V".
SRQ owns 1,182 exploration claims in the Canadian province of Québec, with Lac Brulé being the most advanced exploration project (Figure 1). The Lac Brulé property consists of 603 contiguous mining claims covering an area of approximately 34,795 ha, located approximately 148 km west-northwest of the town of Mont-Laurier, Québec. A near-surface, Ni-Cu project, Lac Brulé is located at a five-hour drive from Montréal. The project's prospectivity for base metals has been confirmed by geological mapping, the presence of a surface gossan, and geophysical surveys. The presence of the historic Renzy Ni-Cu mine located 50 kilometers to the south-east and at the heart of the large regional pattern further adds to the area's mineral exploration appeal. The 2023-24 drill program at the Lac Brulé property confirmed the presence of copper and nickel mineralization associated with an undeformed ultramafic intrusion sequence. Subsequent geophysical surveys identified strong targets along strike, and at depth, of the maiden discovery. The 2025 drill program will be testing a very large combined airborne HELITEM II & Gravity Gradiometer target (Target 900) located 6 km from the initial discovery and extending over more than 2 km stating a 500 m below surface with continuity at depth.
HIGHLIGHTS
- On January 27, 2025, the Corporation announced a grant to the Directors and Officers aggregate of 1,430,000 stock options, each exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.13 on or before January 24, 2035, being the date that is 10 years from their date of grant of January 24, 2025.
- On March 19, 2025, the Corporation announced a fully committed non-brokered private placement, which closed on March 24, 2025. See "Financing" section.

- On April 3, 2025, the Corporation announced the reception of an "Autorisation d'Exploration à Impact" ("ATI-7"), granting exploration rights across all 42 claims covering 24.8 km² at Lac Brennan project in Quebec.
FINANCING
On March 24, 2025, the Corporation announced the closing of a non-brokered private placement for the issuance of 18,103,399 shares of the Corporation, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,371,393. The private placement comprised two tranches, as follows:
- Tranche 1 - Hard Dollar Units: 14,786,982 units at a price of $0.12 per Hard Dollar Unit, comprised of one Common Share that does not qualify as a "Flow-Through" share and one Common Share purchase warrant, entitling the holder to purchase one Common share at an exercise price of $0.18 for a period of 2 years from the date of the issuance, for gross proceeds of $1,774,438; and
- Tranche 2 - Flow-Through (FT) Shares: 3,316,417 Common Shares that qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) at a price of $0.18 per FT share for gross proceeds of $596,955.
In consideration for providing certain finders' services to the Corporation in connection with the private placement, the Corporation paid cash finders' fees in the aggregate $46,785 and issued 304,910 warrants to purchase shares exercisable at $0.18 for a period of 24 months from closing of the FT shares's offering. The finders fees were paid to certain arm's-length finders, representing up to 7% of the gross proceeds received by the Corporation from subscribers that were introduced to the Corporation by such finders.
The use of proceeds include an Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey at the Target 900 sector followed by a 4,000m drilling program.
MINERAL PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, CANADA PROJECTS
SRQ is focused on the discovery and development of high-grade deposits of nickel, copper, and PGEs in Quebec, Canada.
SRQ holds exploration mining properties in Quebec with its flagship project being the Lac Brulé Nickel-Copper-PGEs project located at a five-hour drive from Montreal. SRQ is committed to responsible exploration and development practices, with a focus on environmental and social sustainability.
SRQ has recently taken claims in the Labrador within Naskapi First Nation territory.
LAC BRULÉ NI-CU PROJECT
SRQ launched the Lac Brulé Ni-Cu and the Lac Brennan projects by acquiring exploration claims in the Nivernais and Esgriseilles Townships (Lac Brulé project) and claims in the Dauphine Township (Lac Brennan project) all in the Province of Quebec. The center of Lac Brulé is at UTM coordinates 314,700mE and 5,198,400mN (UTM-18, NAD 83) on topographic map NTS 31K13 and 31K14.
Dr. Audet (Ph.D. Geology) became aware of the potential of the entire area following a base metal compilation performed in late 80's while working for Falconbridge Ltd. The Lac Brulé area was never prospected prior to SRQ's involvement. There are no historical groundworks. However, regional magnetometry and gravity maps covering the areas as part of the global Quebec province coverage as well as data from stream and lake sediments sampling program covering the entire province were available on government websites. The old Renzi nickel-copper mine is the closest mining activity with historical information available. The Renzi mine is located 48 km ESE of the Lac Brulé property. The Renzy Ni-Cu mine operated from 1969 to 1972 selling Ni & Cu concentrate to Falconbridge in Sudbury, Ontario. The Corporation is targeting possible accumulations of Ni and Cu mineralization at Lac Brulé that could be of similar nature to that at the Renzy mine and at other well-known Ni-Cu deposits in Québec and Labrador (i.e.: Voysey Bay Ni-Cu-PGM deposit).
SRQ RESOURCES INC.
Management's discussion and analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2025
The Lac Brulé area is part of the First Nation Anishinaabe historical land. SRQ, through M. Jerry Peltier, former Kanesatake Chief and SRQ's Strategic Advisor for First Nations, have maintained a continuous communication with the Kitigan Zibi First Nation band about the Lac Brulé Exploration Project. Parts of SRQ's owned claims are either within the Lac Barriere, Wolf Lake and Kipawa Anishinaabe First Nation.
PROPERTY DETAILS
SRQ commissioned Xcalibur Multiphysics (MPH) Canada Inc. to perform a HELITEM2® electromagnetic survey supplemented by a high-sensitivity cesium magnetometer. One block of claims (390 claims) was surveyed between December 5 and December 14, 2021. The survey coverage consisted of 1,374 km of traverse lines flown with a spacing of 200 and 100 m and 119 km of tie lines with a 2000 m spacing.
In July and August 2022, the Corporation commissioned TMC Geophysics of Val d'Or to carry out ground Induced Polarization ("IP") and Electromagnetic ("EM") surveys at the Lac Brulé Property. The campaign took place between July 26th and August 21st, 2022 and consisted of 32.45 km of IP and 17.70 km of EM.
In July 2022, SRQ mandated Mr. Francois Goulet, P.Geo, to act as the qualified person ("QP") for the current maiden geological report. He visited the property for personal inspection from July 18 to 22, 2022.
In October 2023, Xcalibur conducted a high-sensitivity aeromagnetic and FALCON® Airborne Gravity Gradiometer (AGG) survey over the Lac Brulé area for a total of 597 line-km.
In April 2024, Xcalibur conducted an additional high-sensitivity aeromagnetic and FALCON® Airborne Gravity Gradiometer survey as a follow-up at the Lac Brulé and also covering the entire Lac Brennan property for a combined total of 977 line-km (438 line-km at Lac Brulé and 539 line-km at the Lac Brennan).
In 2023 and in 2024, SRQ mandated Professor Christian Picard and Dr. Normand Goulet, P.Geo to assist the team during geological mapping, drilling programs and detailed geological characterizations of significant geological units, including members of the Magmatic Intrusive sequence
SRQ launched the first drilling program at the Lac Brulé project on July 3, 2023, with 13 holes totalizing 3,942 m, followed in October 2023 with 5 additional holes for 1,246 m. The Corporation launched a third phase of 11 holes for 3,015m in April 2024. The Phase 3 drill campaign included ten holes at the Gossan Zone and one hole (LB-24-29) testing a very strong gravity target, called Target 900 located 6 kilometers ("km") west of the Gossan Zone (Figure 2)

2023-24 LAC BRULÉ EXPLORATION WORK
On October 26 and 27, 2023, the Corporation flew a 600 line-km test airborne gravimetric survey overlaying the main area of interest at the Lac Brulé project. In April 2024, the Corporation flew a 438 line-km airborne gravity survey as a follow-up on the test-survey of October 2023 and a 539 line-km at the lac Brennan project (Figure 2).
From April 19 to May 07, 2024, the Corporation proceed with the Phase III drill program for $3,015\mathrm{m}$ including ten holes at the Gossan Zone (Figures 3 & 4) and one hole (LB-24-29; Target 900) drilled $6\mathrm{km}$ west of the Gossan Zone testing a high gravity target. Table 1 shows assay results for the drilling to date at the Gossan zone.
Hole LB-24-29 (951m) targeted the center of a $3.5\mathrm{km}\times 1.7\mathrm{km}$ strong gravity anomaly. The hole intersected $951\mathrm{m}$ of a continuous magmatic sequence composed of anorthosite/leucogabbro and pyroxenite with Po, minor CPy and Pn in the last $70\mathrm{m}$ of the hole. For technical reasons, the hole terminated in pyroxenite at a vertical depth of $750\mathrm{m}$ from surface and more than $300\mathrm{m}$ east of the Target 900 center. Despite missing the core by such a distance, the hole intersected several mineralised zones.
Ongoing surface regional geological mapping outlined a very large magmatic intrusive complex which seems to be deeply rooted (Figure 5).
Detailed petrological and mineralogical analysis shows that Lac Brulé Ni-Cu mineralisation has strong similarities to mineralisation from the former Renzy Ni-Cu mine.

A new target was generated from the April 2024's gravimetry survey (Target 900). This new target corresponds to a very large and strong gravity response of presumably dense geological material at depth (starting at $600m$ from surface). Several additional targets are outlined by the 2021 EM anomaly picking (small grey square).

The Target 900 is located on the northern flank and at the hinge of a large fold. In the top right corner of the image, there is a N-S vertical cross section showing an EM response starting at $500\mathrm{m}$ from surface coinciding with the large gravity response starting also at $500\mathrm{m}$ and extending further at depth. The 2025 drilling program is designed at testing the combined targets.
GEOLOGICAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE LAC BRULE'S INTRUSIVE COMPLEX:
The regional geology can be summarized by the following sequence of facies.
1- Gneiss and Quartzite
2- Garnet rich Amphibolite
3- Magmatic Intrusive Sequence (1.5 Ga age)
4- Peridotite-Pyroxenite (Late Grenville, approx. 1.0 Ga age)
5- Mineralised Pyroxenite - Gossan Zone
At the gossan outcrop the magmatic mafic horizon is remarkable and easily identifiable by the wide gossan presents on the surface (more than $400\mathrm{m}$ long and $60\mathrm{m}$ wide). The gossan consists mainly of massive pyroxenite with large poecilitic crystals of pyroxene (and / or amphibole) with inclusions of serpentine olivine. It also has puddles of interstitial sulfides (up to $5\%$ ). The latter are mainly formed of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, pentlandite and rare pyrite.
The country rocks are affected by high grade metamorphism, varying from amphibolite facies to granulite facies. The regional structure has significant deformations, but it is notable that the regional foliation is characterized by a very low dip of 15 to $20^{\circ}$ .
PETROLOGICAL AND MINERALOGICAL STUDIES IDENTIFY PRESENCE OF MINERALIZED PYROXENITE AT LAC BRULE
Up to 75 samples were carefully collected during the 2023-24 drilling programs at the Lac Brulé UM complex for detailed petrological and mineralogical studies using an optical microscope and a scanning electronic microscope ("SEM"). These studies were carried out at the ISTerre of the University of Grenoble Alpes by Professor Christian Picard,

university professor (retired) of earth sciences (with special authorization from Ordre des Géologues du Québec (OGQ)).
The discovered UM complex is composed of pyroxenite and peridotite, both intruding the highly metamorphic host rock sequence. The pyroxenite includes locally porphyritic assemblages of diopside, magnesio-hornblende and olivine (Fo80-84) with a lesser proportion of enstatite, intercalated with specific mineralized horizons containing up to 30% sulfides mostly as net texture within the silicate gangue.
Within the intrusive meta-peridotite, low nickel contents were measured in the olivine crystals (800 to 1,600 parts per million ("ppm")) versus an expected nickel range in olivine of 3,000 to 4,000 ppm. This could reflect a strong transfer of nickel from the olivine to the sulfide liquids produced during immiscibility mechanisms.
The summer 2024 geological mapping further outlined the magnitude of late intrusive complexes. Figures 5, 7 and 8 are showing the extend of the meta-foliated and strongly deformed diorite-leucogabbro units (often called with field name of anorthosite). The foliated diorite-leucogabbro appear to be instrumental as a host for a series of younger mafic and ultramafic intrusive carrying Cu-Ni mineralisation.
In contrast to the visible deformation of the folded and foliated diorite sequence, the younger mafic to ultramafic magmatic units present, overall, a very low level of deformation and or metamorphism. It can be observed on surface outcrops and on boreholes, including LB-24-29, that the peridotite and pyroxenite sequences show unmetamorphosed coarse-grained textures.
LAC BRULÉ NI-CU MINERALISATION: STRONG SIMILARITIES WITH THE FORMER RENZY NI-CU MINE
SRQ has compared the geological sequence and the associated mineralisation at both the Lac Brulé and the historic Renzy Ni-Cu mine. Detailed petrological and mineralogical investigations by Professor Christian Picard have confirmed the presence, at both sites, of several pyroxenite and peridotite sequences impregnated with disseminated to semi-massive mineralisation of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite, all obviously intrusive in an Archean or Proterozoic sequence of paragneiss and garnet-rich amphibolite.
As at the Lac Brulé site, the Renzy sequence is made up of alternating bands of werhlites and olivine pyroxenites which present olivine paragenesis type Fo84, enstatite, diopside in a poecilitic matrix of magnesio-hornblende with traces of phlogopite. Werhlites and pyroxenites also present a magmatic bedding with subvertical free contacts, oriented NE-SW, which contrasts with the slightly sloping foliation of the paragneiss. All of these data unambiguously suggest that the Renzy complex is intrusive in the paragneiss.
At Renzy, the pyroxenites and werhlites in its mineralisation present scattered puddles (2-3%) arranged interstitially between the silicates, and consisting in order of abundance of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and cobalt-bearing pentlandite (Figure 6), again in all respects comparable to Lac Brulé.
A few mineralised blocks of olivine pyroxenite and werhlite, remnants of past work, were collected at the Renzy site. These blocks have the same paragenesis at: olivine type Fo84, enstatite, diopside, poeciltic magnesio-hornblende and phlogopite. Depending on the sample, they contain 15% to 70% semi-massive to massive sulphides with a net texture (net-textured type). They comprise the same proportions of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and pentlandite with traces of pyrite and ilmenite. They also contain some platinum group minerals (merenskyite, hessite, etc.). It should be noted that as at Lac Brulé, the pentlandite is cobalt-rich with Co contents of 2% to 4%.
To date, such semi-massive and massive sulphides have not been found in abundance at the Lac Brulé site. However, the many petrographic and structural similarities between the two sites, coupled with the results from very preliminary exploration on Lac Brulé, demonstrate that they are very similar magmatic systems, increasing the probability of a significant discovery.
More detailed works are ongoing.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Going concern assumption and liquidity risk
Based on the information available to date, the Corporation has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain economically recoverable reserves.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using IFRS applicable to a going concern, which presumes the Corporation will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. The use of these principles may not be appropriate. The Corporation is in its early stages, and as is common with similar corporations, it raises financing for its exploration and evaluation activities. As at March 31, 2025, the Corporation has an equity of $2,290,514 and a working capital of$ 2,240,786, including cash and cash equivalents of $2,567,702. To date, the Corporation has financed its cash requirements primarily equity financing. The Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern is subject to its ability to raise additional financing. The Corporation's discretionary activities do have some scope for flexibility in terms of the amount and timing of expenditures, and to a certain extent, expenditures may be adjusted accordingly.
SRQ RESOURCES INC.
Management's discussion and analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2025
While management has been successful in securing financing since its inception, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future, that such sources of funding will be available to the Corporation or that they will be available on terms acceptable to the Corporation. These circumstances indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern.
If management is unable to obtain new funding, the Corporation may have to rationalize or reprioritize its activities and ultimately be unable to continue its operations, and amounts realized for assets might be less than amounts reflected in the financial statements.
