The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

   Fireweed Metals Corp. (the "Company" or "Fireweed") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of the Yukon in Canada on October 20, 2015. The Company is a mineral exploration and development company and is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral assets. As at September 30, 2026, the Company has three mineral exploration projects in northern Canada: the Macpass project (Yukon) ("Macpass"), the Mactung project (Yukon/Northwest Territories) ("Mactung"), and the Gayna project (Northwest Territories) ("Gayna"); plus the Company's Planning for North Canol Infrastructure Improvement project (Yukon) ("PNCII"). The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on the OTCQX under the symbols "FWZ" and "FWEDF", respectively.

   The Company's head office and principal address is Suite 2800 - 1055 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7X 1L2. The registered and records office is 3081 3rd Avenue, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, Y1A 4Z7.

   The Company's ability to continue operations is not assured and is dependent upon the ability to obtain necessary financing to meet its liabilities and commitments as they become due, and the ability to generate future profitable production or operations or obtain sufficient proceeds from the disposition thereof. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. As at September 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $194,860,321 and current assets of $59,202,179 to settle current liabilities of $7,799,656, leaving the Company with a net working capital balance of $51,402,523. However, additional financing will be required to carry out additional exploration and development of its properties which may indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Basis of Preparation

   1. Statement of compliance

      These condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, have been authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 12, 2026.

      These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Certain disclosures included in the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 ("Annual Financial Statements"), prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), have been condensed or omitted and, accordingly, these Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Financial Statements.

   2. Basis of presentation

      These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for those financial instruments which have been classified at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, these Interim Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

   3. Functional and presentation currency

      The Interim Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates.

      1. Basis of Preparation (cont'd)

   4. Basis of consolidation

These Interim Financial Statements include the financial statements of Fireweed Metals Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Fireweed Macpass Mining Ltd., Fireweed Mactung Mining Ltd. and Fireweed Gayna Metals Ltd.

1. Material Accounting Policies

   These Interim Financial Statements were prepared using accounting policies, critical judgements, and estimates consistent with those described in Note 3 to the Annual Financial Statements.

   New IFRS Accounting standards and interpretations

   IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures

   In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7. These amendments updated classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the 'solely payments of principal and interest' criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance ("ESG")-linked features and other similar contingent features. The IASB added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 with early application permitted. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company's Interim Financial Statements.

   New IFRS Accounting standards and interpretations not yet applied

   IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

   On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and also applies to comparative information. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1; many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but it may change what an entity reports as its 'operating profit or loss'. Key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: (i) the structure of the statement of profit or loss; (ii) required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements (that is, management-defined performance measures); and (iii) enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. The Company's assessment is that the adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact on its financial statements with only minor differences to its presentation when applied retrospectively on January 1, 2027. These differences are the reclassification of income and expense subtotals as operating, investing, and financing on its statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

   The Company has not early adopted any new accounting standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

September 30, September 30,

(1) Government grants for Mactung were claimed from the United States Department of War DPA Title III, while grants for PNCII were claimed under CMIF from NRCan (see Note 4). Amounts for Macpass were claimed from Supercluster (see Note 4). Grants for Gayna were claimed from the Government of Northwest Territories' Mining Incentive Program.

The Macpass property comprises multiple claim blocks that were acquired and consolidated over several years by Fireweed into the current Macpass Project. All claim blocks have a 100% ownership interest held by the Company, while certain claims are subject to net smelter return ("NSR") royalties held by third parties ranging from 0.25% to 3%. Certain NSRs are subject to buyback provisions of up to $5,250,000, notably the Jason claims which are subject to a 3% NSR royalty which can be bought out by Fireweed at any time for $5,250,000.

Certain claims are also subject to NSR royalties in which the royalty holders are entitled to contingent payments of up to $750,000 or equivalent in Fireweed shares at the Company's option, upon receiving a resource calculation of 2.0 million tonnes of indicated (or better) resource on the attached claim.

On January 15, 2025, Fireweed acquired a 100% interest in various claims comprising the Harvest claims, acquired from Strategic Metals Limited ("Strategic Metals").

   Settlement of flow-through liability on incurred expenditures	(3,978,555)	(12,073,531)
   Balance, end of period	$-	$3,978,555

   During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred flow-through expenditures of $37,267,642. Therefore, $12,803,773 of flow-through premium and $730,242 of flow-through related share issuance costs were recognized on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss, resulting in a $3,978,555 flow-through liability balance at December 31, 2025.

   During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company fully incurred its flow-through expenditures of $12,405,837. Therefore, $4,238,209 of flow-through premium and $259,654 of flow-through related share issuance costs were recognized on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss, resulting in a $nil flow-through liability balance at September 30, 2026.

3. Rehabilitation Provision

   The Company has estimated the present value of future rehabilitation costs required to remediate the Macpass, Mactung, and Gayna Projects based on their current state.

   Although the ultimate amount of the rehabilitation liability is uncertain, the best estimate of these obligations is based on information currently available. The estimate is based on the expected cost of rehabilitation activities including dismantling, rehabilitating and removing camp facilities, roads, bridges, and mobile equipment.

   The total amount of estimated undiscounted cash flow required to settle the Company's estimated obligations as at September 30, 2026 was $1,539,326 (December 31, 2025 - $1,624,326). The calculation of present value of estimated future cash flows assumed a discount rate of 3.86% and an inflation rate of 2.00%. Rehabilitation costs are estimated to be settled during 2028 through 2040.

   	September 30, 2026	December 31, 2025

3. Segmented Information

   The Company operates in one reportable segment, being the acquisition and exploration of mineral projects. All of the Company's operations are within the mineral exploration sector in Canada.

4. Capital Management

   The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets. In the management of capital, the Company includes components of shareholders' equity. 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 to sustain future development of the business. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage and as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. The Company may continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has or feels it can raise adequate financial resources to do so. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there were no changes to management's approach to capital management during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

5. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

Fair Value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, receivables, reclamation and permitting bonds, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate carrying value, which is the amount recorded on the statements of financial position.

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 an unexpected loss if a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company mitigates its exposure to credit loss associated with cash and cash equivalents by placing its cash and cash equivalents in major financial institutions.

1. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (cont'd)

   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 September 30, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $47,510,119 to settle current liabilities of $7,730,945. The Company believes it has sufficient funds to meet its current liabilities as they become due.

   The Company is dependent on obtaining regular financings in order to continue as a going concern. Despite previous success in acquiring these financings, there is no guarantee of obtaining future financings. Additionally, the Company will fund portions of its planned work programs with funding provided by the United States of America's DPA Title III and the funding from the Government of Canada through the Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund. There is no assurance that funds as indicated in the agreements will be received by the Company as planned.

   Interest rate risk

   The interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As at September 30, 2026 the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

   Price risk

   The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on profit or loss and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of resources, individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

   Foreign currency risk

   Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in its functional currency. The Company does not manage currency risk through hedging or other currency management tools. As of September 30, 2026, the Company holds US$617,248 (December 31, 2025 - US$7,284,099) in cash. As at September 30, 2026, a 5% change in the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would result in a $43,788 impact on the net loss to the Company.

2. Commitments

   On December 19, 2016, the Company granted but did not issue 1,000,000 performance shares to each of four founders/directors for a total of 4,000,000 common shares in recognition of services to date and as incentive for continuing services in advancing the Company's projects.

Under the terms of the performance shares agreement above, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company issued no common shares to former directors of the Company (year ended December 31, 2025 - 600,000). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, share-based compensation expense of $nil and $nil (2025 - $60,000 and $60,000) was recorded upon the issuance of the common shares.
