MINERAL PROPERTY
Meech Lake – Matachewan Prospect
The Company owns a 100% interest in the Meech Lake Matachewan Prospect situated in Argyle, Baden, McNeil and Robertson Townships. The property is located approximately 25 km northwest of Matachewan, in Northeastern Ontario, within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Following the MLAS claim to cell conversion process completed by Ontario's Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM), the four (4) original legacy claims were converted to 41 cells (36 single cells and 5 boundary cells), covering a total area of 833.6 hectares.
The three (3) original vendor property claims are subject to a 3% NSR on metals or minerals produced from the property. The Company shall be entitled to repurchase 0.5% of the NSR, by paying to the vendor \$1,000,000, and an additional 1%, by paying the vendor an additional \$3,000,000.
Funding for the first phase of work on the property (locating and re-sampling the historical mineral showings) was received from the Ontario Exploration Corp. (OEC), through its prospector assistance program initiative via an initial \$10,000 grant in exchange for a 0.5% royalty on the property. The royalty has a buyback clause which provides that the company can purchase one-half of the 0.5% royalty for a dollar value that increases over time, ranging from a purchase price of \$15,000 before the second anniversary of the date of the agreement to a purchase price of \$250,000 from the 11th anniversary of the agreement and beyond.
{3}------------------------------------------------
Management's discussion and analysis for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025
Exploration work conducted by Cleghorn on the property successfully identified and confirmed the presence of two separate mineralized systems on the property, previously documented in a series of pits and/or trenches. They are represented by the Kell's Ni-Cu-PGE Showing (T-52) and the Waterhole Au-Ag-Zn Showing (T-1).
2017-2019 Exploration Program Highlights:
- Selective assays results from the sampling program of the historical pits and/or trenches on the property, by Cleghorn Minerals included:

2023-2024 Project Exploration Program Summary
A Phase II exploration program on the Meech Lake - Matachewan Prospect was completed in the Fall of 2023. The program consisted of detailed mapping and channel sampling over the Kell's Showing (Ni-Cu-PGE), T25 Trench Area (Au-Ag-Zn), Waterhole Showing (Au-Ag-Zn), and Kell's Cabin Showing (Au-Ag-Zn) of previously excavated historic pits and trenches (2018). The objective of the mapping and channel sampling program was to define and characterize the surface mineralization outlined in the 2018 drill program.
A total of eight (8) excavations were mapped and sampled with four (4) on and over the western inferred strike extensions respectively of the Kell's Showing (designated Trenches 2-5 on the accompany map below), one (1) in the area of the T25 Showing (designated Trenches 1a and 1b – Note 1b was not washed but channel sampled, one (1) on a historical trench between the T25 and Waterhole Showings (designated Trench 6 on the accompany map below), one (1) on the Waterhole Showing (designated Trench 7 on the accompany map below), and one (1) on the Kell's Cabin Showing (designated Trench 8 on the accompany map below).
A total of 42 channel samples were collected over the washed and mapped historical pits and trenches.
During the second quarter of 2024, the channel sample assay results were received from the laboratory. A summary of the geology, sample highlights and the accompanying detailed mapping / channel maps for the three (3) main mineralized zones on the property identified to date, are as follows:
{4}------------------------------------------------
Kell's Showing (Ni-Cu-PGE):
- Trench 2 & 3 Hostrock pyroxenite is generally enriched in nickel and slightly anomalous in copper and platinum. No significant exposed mineralization and /or structures were noted.
- Trench 4 Hostrock gabbro is also generally enriched in nickel and slightly anomalous in copper, palladium and platinum. Two separate fault structures mapped.
- Trench 5 4.91% copper, 1.35% nickel, 1.53 ppm platinum and 4.49 ppm palladium over a 50 cm channel. Cut across a 5 x 12 cm bleb of sulfides proximal to a fault structure that was previously covered by overburden. The sample is located immediately adjacent to the Kell's historic pit to the east where a remnant 30 x 40 cm accumulation of in-situ massive sulfide (sampled in 2017 - 8.31% Cu, 3.80% Ni, 13.5 g/t Pt, 60.4 g/t Pd) remains intact within the gabbro hostrock.
Waterhole Showing (Au-Ag-Zn):
- Trench 1a (Historical Trench 25 Area) Single channel sample, hostrock is lamprophyre.
- Trench 1b (Historical Trench 25 Area) Single channel sample over mineralized and oxidized shear/fracture zone.
- Trench 6 (historical trench between the T25 and Waterhole Showings) Four (4) channel samples are cut in a mafic volcanic hostrock across a narrow quartz stringer zone along a slip-fracture/shear zone along the northern edge of the exposed outcrop. Three of the samples generated significant zinc values ranging from 1.08 – 5.06%, as well as gold values ranging from 0.12 – 2.08 ppm, and silver values from 1.5 – 5.2 ppm, over widths of 0.6 – 0.7 cm.
- Trench 7 A series of channel samples were cut across the two (2) main shears, narrow quartz stringers/veins/patches and oxidized weathered surface features, over the historical Waterhole Showing area. Gold values were generally anomalous with local elevated gold, silver and zinc values. One of the better channel samples across one of the shears graded 0.957 ppm gold, 3.9 ppm silver, 9240 ppm zinc and 1060 ppm copper, over 70 cm.
Kell's Cabin Showing (Au-Ag-Zn):
Trench 8 – Channel samples were cut in and around the historic pit near the site of Mr. Hugh Kell's 1930's cabin. The best result was from a sample cut across the main shear zone across the top end of the historical pit; assaying 0.168 ppm gold, 9.1 ppm silver, 9820 ppm zinc and 1030 ppm copper.
In conclusion, this additional exploration work conducted by Cleghorn on the property further confirmed the presence of two separate mineralized systems on the property, previously documented in a series of historical pits and/or trenches. They are represented by the Kell's Ni-Cu-PGE Showing and the Waterhole Au-Ag-Zn Showing. These two mineralized trends have now been defined over 45 metres (Trench 2 to Trench 5) and 370 metres (Trench 1B to Trench 8), along their respective mineralized trends.
It is recommended that the following program be initiated on the property:
-
- Additional stripping along strike of the mineralized zones mapped to date;
-
- Initiate a property-scale compilation of the historical and recent geophysical and diamond drilling data into a 3D model to ascertain the geometry of the two mineralized trends;
-
- Conduct a focused 3D IP survey over the showings to attempt to highlight and define the mineralized zones; and
-
- Follow-up drilling of any targets defined by the 3D modelling and DCIP survey.

Management's discussion and analysis for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025
In addition, during the second quarter of 2024, a Company representative made a property due diligence visit with a potential third-party funding partner. No further work was conducted on the property since the second quarter of 2024.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control Protocol:
All diamond drilling sample batches (each individual hole), include 5% QA/QC samples consisting of blanks and certified standards (Natural Resources Canada - CANMET). All drillhole and channel samples were submitted to ALS Minerals, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory. Sample preparation was completed in Val-d'Or, Québec and analyses in Vancouver, British Columbia. Nickel, copper, cobalt, zinc and silver values were determined by a 61 element, Four Acid / ICP-AES analysis and gold values were determined by a 30-gram fire assay and AAS finish. Platinum, palladium and gold values were determined by 30-gram fire assay with ICP finish. Samples, which received over-limit values, underwent further analysis using ALS Minerals assay procedure Ni-OG62 (for nickel), Cu-OG62 (for copper), Zn-OG62 (for zinc), and PGM-ICP27 (for gold, platinum and palladium). The reader is referred to: www.alsgobal.com for details of analytical procedures described above.,
Cleghorn Minerals has applied a rigorous quality assurance/quality control program at the Meech Lake Matachewan Prospect using industry practice. All core was logged and selected intervals sampled by a professional geoscientist. NQ drill core was sawn in half and each sample half was placed in a marked sample bag with its corresponding sample tag, then sealed. The remaining half core is retained in the original core boxes that are stored in a secure facility in Val-d'Or, Québec.
Additional Property Acquisitions:
Cleghorn is continuing due diligence on several property and/or transactional opportunities, in Canada and separately, located in international jurisdictions, and will provide additional information should the examinations lead to favourable conclusions and affordable transactions.
SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the Company 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 Company is in its early stages, and as is common with similar companies, it raises financing for its exploration and evaluation activities. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss of \$252,580 (for the year ended March 31, 2025 – \$177,018) and has an accumulated deficit of \$3,525,806 (for the year ended March 31, 2025 – \$3,273,226). To date, the Company has financed its cash requirements primarily by issuing common shares or units. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is subject to its ability to raise additional financing or reduce its expenditure levels. The Company'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.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Management's discussion and analysis for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025
In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. Management has assessed its liquidity needs and estimates that these funds will not be sufficient to meet the Company's obligations, budgeted expenditures and commitments through December 31, 2026. Based on the extent of the Company's current stage and anticipated plan, the Company will need to raise additional financing within the next 6-9 months, and those facts cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. While Management has been successful in securing financing in the past, 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 Company or that they will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
If management is unable to obtain new funding, the Company may be unable to continue its operations, and amounts realized for assets might be less than amounts reflected in these financial statements.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

Management's discussion and analysis for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to apply accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. There is full disclosure of the Company's critical accounting policies and accounting estimates in Note 3 of the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025.
ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Significant changes in the underlying assumptions could result in significant changes to these estimates. Consequently, management reviews these estimates on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about these significant judgments, assumptions and estimates that have the most significant effect on the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are disclosed in Note 4 of the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025.
RISKS RELATED TO FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Readers are invited to refer to Note 11 of the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025, for a full description of these risks.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
An investment in the common shares of the Company involves a high degree of risk and must be considered highly speculative due to the financial and operational risks inherent to the nature of the Company's business and the present stage of exploration and development of its mineral resource properties. These risks may affect the Company's eventual profitability and level of operating cash flow. Prospective buyers of the common shares of the Company should consider the following risk factors:
• Investment of Speculative Nature
Investing in the Company, at this early stage of its development, is of a highly speculative nature.
• Nature of Mineral Exploration and Mining
There is no known mineral resource on the Company's properties. Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk, requires substantial expenditures and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.
• Exploration and Development Risks
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, involving considerable financial and technical risks, including the failure to discover mineral deposits, market fluctuations and government regulations, which are beyond the control of the Company.

• Additional Financing
Future exploration and development activities will require additional equity and debt financing. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of exploration and development of the property interests of the Company.
• Stress in the Global Economy and Financial Condition
The adverse effects on the capital markets generally make the raising of capital by equity or debt financing much more difficult and the Company is dependent upon the capital markets to raise financing.
• Permits and Licenses
There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations for its proposed projects.
• Competition
The mineral exploration and mining business is competitive in all of its phases. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully with the competition in acquiring suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration.
• No Assurance of Title to Property
The Company's claims may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or third party and native land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects.
• Dependence on Key Individuals
The Company is dependent on a relatively small number of key personnel, the loss of any one of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company.
• Environmental Risks for Current and Past Activities and other Regulatory Requirements
The Company may be liable for environmental contamination and natural resource damages relating to properties that it currently owns, operates or have an interest in, or at which environmental contamination occurred while or before it owned, operated or acquired an interest in the properties. No assurance can be given that potential liabilities for such contamination or damages caused by past activities at these properties do not exist.
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
• Political Regulatory Risks
Any changes in government policy may result in changes to laws affecting the Company's ability to undertake exploration and development activities in respect of present and future properties.

Management's discussion and analysis for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025
• Conflicts of Interest
The directors and officers of the Company are also directors and officers of other companies, some of which are in the same business as the Company. This situation may result in conflicting legal obligations which may expose the Company to liability to others and impair its ability to achieve its business objectives.
• Insurance
The Company will remain at risk and will be potentially subject to liability for hazards associated with mineral exploration which it cannot insure against or which it has elected not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons.
• Influence of Third-Party Stakeholders
Claims by third parties on the lands in which the Company hold interests, or the exploration equipment and road or other means of access which the Company intend to utilize in carrying out work programs or general exploration mandates, even if not meritorious, may create delays resulting in significant financial loss and loss of opportunity for the Company.
• Fluctuation in Market Value of Shares
The market price of a publicly-traded stock is affected by many variables not directly related to the corporate performance of the entity. The future effect of these and other factors on the market price of Company's shares on the Exchange cannot be predicted.
• Climate Change
The Company's operations may be subject to regulatory changes in Ontario, where its current property is located, in response to the potential impact of climate change, such as regulation relating to emission levels. If the current regulatory trend continues, this may result in increased costs directly or indirectly affecting the Company. In addition, the physical effect of climate change, such as extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, resource shortages, changing sea levels and changing temperatures, could have an adverse financial impact on operations located in the regions where these conditions occur and where the Company's properties are or may be located, directly or indirectly impacting the business of the Company.
