EXPLORATION PROPERTIES
OverviewGold Terra holds a portfolio of gold exploration assets in the well-established mining jurisdictions of the Northwest Territories and New Brunswick. Both areas have substantial exploration upside with a history of high-grade gold results, along with the advantage of existing supporting infrastructure in place. The most advanced of these assets is the Con Mine Option Property (as defined below), which is adjacent to the city of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Gold Terra reported an initial Mineral Resource estimate ("MRE") of 109,000 gold ounces in the Indicated category and 432,000 gold ounces in the Inferred category on the Con Mine Option Property in September 2022. The Yellowknife project ("YP") is contiguous to the Con Mine Option Property and has an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.2 million gold ounces ("Moz") (March 2021).
The Company's focus is on high-grade gold targets on its 836 square kilometre land position along the prolific Campbell Shear ("CS") structure which has yielded more than 14 Moz of gold at grades above 15 grams per tonne ("g/t") from the former Giant and Con mines. The Con Mine Option Property, from which the historic Con Mine produced more than 6.1 Moz averaging 16 to 20 g/t gold, has added a key piece of ground to the Company's YP land holding with potential to add high-grade gold resources.
The Company also holds the Mulligan gold project in New Brunswick which has yielded high-grade sampling results and was acquired in 2019 as part of the acquisition of Gold Matter.
Con Mine Option Property- Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE")On September 7, 2022, the Company announced the initial MRE on the Con Mine Option Property, which is under the Con Mine Option Agreement (as defined below) from the subsidiaries of Newmont Corporation ("Newmont") and acquirable by the Company upon fulfilment of certain conditions set out in the option agreement (the "Con Mine Option Agreement") and located adjacent to the Company's 100% owned YP in the Northwest Territories.
The Con Mine Option Property initial MRE (effective date of September 2, 2022) is comprised of:
Underground Indicated Mineral Resource of 0.45 million tonnes ("Mt") averaging 7.55 g/t Au for 109,000 ounces of contained gold; and
Underground Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.0 Mt averaging 6.74 g/t Au for 432,000 ounces of contained gold.
The Company's October 2022 MRE used a base Case of 3.50 g/t cut-off grade and a gold price of US$1,750 per ounce. The Con Mine Option Property MRE included estimates at a range of cut-off grades presented below (Table 14-11 in the Oct. 21, 2022 Technical Report) to demonstrate the sensitivity of the MRE to various cut-off grades with reasonable expectation of extraction as per NI43-101F standards of disclosure. It may be possible to use a lower base case gold cut-off grade in a future MRE, such as 2.5 g/t for underground mining in the current gold price environment. The
Company believes this potential will be tested in the planned exploration drilling at Yellorex and Yellorex North, and in-fill drilling currently being done to raise the confidence level of a future MRE.

In addition, the Company has an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.2 Moz of gold on the adjacent YP (effective date of March 14, 2021) which consists of:
A pit-constrained Inferred Mineral Resource of 21.8 Mt averaging 1.25 g/t Au for 876,000 ounces of contained gold; and
An underground Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.55 Mt averaging 4.04 g/t Au for 331,000 ounces of contained gold.
This extensive land package is close to the City of Yellowknife with all its extensive existing infrastructure.
The details on the initial MRE on the Con Mine Option Property can be viewed on the Company's news release of September 7, 2022and the Technical Report titled "Initial Mineral Resource Estimate for the Con Mine Option Property, Yellowknife City Gold Project, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada" dated October 21, 2022 with an effective date of September 2, 2022, by Allan Armitage (Qualified Person) from SGS Geological Services. The Technical Report is available on the Company's web site at www.goldterracorp.com and can be accessed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
This initial MRE incorporates a total of 41 diamond drill holes totalling 21,019 metres, completed by Gold Terra from September 2020 to June 2022 and all existing historic holes drilled before 2003, as interpreted by Gold Terra. The MRE includes three gold deposits - Yellorex Main, Yellorex North, and Kam Point. The Yellorex Indicated Mineral Resource was drilled on 25 to 50-metre spacing, from surface to 300 metres, and remains open at depth.
This initial MRE on the Con Mine Option Property demonstrates the success and progress of Gold Terra's recent drilling programs toward satisfying the minimum 1.5 Moz of gold requirement in all resource categories, under the Con Mine Option Agreement with subsidiaries of Newmont.
Con Mine Option Agreement Highlights:The initial exploration agreement with Newmont announced on September 8, 2020 was replaced and superseded by the November 22, 2021 option agreement to include all (100%) of MNML and the Con Mine Option property.
On September 9, 2024, the Company announced it had extended its four (4) year Con Mine Option Agreement with Newmont FN and MNML, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Newmont, to a six (6) year agreement until November 21, 2027, which grants Gold Terra the option, upon meeting certain minimum requirements, to purchase MNML from Newmont FN (the "Transaction"), which includes 100% of all the assets, mineral leases, Crown mineral claims, and surface rights comprising the Con Mine, remaining infrastructures and equipment, as well as the areas immediately adjacent to the Con Mine.
On March 10, 2025, Newmont FN provided an acknowledgement that the Company had satisfied the requirement to incur an aggregate minimum amount of $8 million in Qualifying Expenditures in Exploration Work on the Con Mine Option Property.
Gold Terra has completed 35,721.66 metres of drilling with a total spend of approximately $16.2 million as of end of 2025.
Gold Terra has also agreed to:
Complete a prefeasibility study with a minimum of 1.5 Moz in all mineral resource categories;
Obtain all necessary regulatory approvals for the purchase of MNML's assets and liabilities to Gold Terra; and
Post an Environmental Security Bond (ESB) to reflect the status of the Con mine reclamation plan at the time when the option is exercised.
The closing of the Con Mine Option Property will then be completed with Gold Terra making a final cash payment of $8 million.
Newmont will retain a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on minerals produced from the Con Mine Option Property. The NSR may be reduced by 50% by the Company paying Newmont the sum of $10 million, for a period of two years following the announcement of commercial production.
After Gold Terra exercises its option, Newmont will have a period of two years to exercise its one time backin right of a 51% participating interest in MNML and the Con Mine Option Property, which can be triggered by Gold Terra delineating a minimum of 5 Moz of gold in the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource categories supported by a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report. To be eligible to exercise the backin right, Newmont will:
Reimburse Gold Terra three times (3x) the amount of all expenditures incurred on the Con Mine Option Property from September 4, 2020;
Refund to Gold Terra the $8 million cash payment;
Payment of US$30 per ounce of gold for 51% of the total ounces reported in the Technical Report; and
Assume 51% of the environmental liability and its share of the posted bond.
If exercised, the back-in right is expected to be completed by a new joint venture led by Newmont. At such time, the 2% NSR would also be eliminated.
The Con Mine Option Property has added to the Company's large land holdings a key piece of ground with excellent potential along the CS to add high-grade gold resources. Drilling by Gold Terra has expanded the Yellorex Zone with high-grade gold assays such as the best intercept to date in hole GTCM21-014 with
5.22 g/t Au over 17.86 metres, including 11.21 g/t Au over 4.57 metres (also see "Exploration Overview -Con Mine Option Property" below for the 2022 drilling program). The Con Mine Option Property provides access to multiple additional zones with historic high-grade assays such as hole Y88 with 13.9 g/t Au over
5.27 metres, which remain untested in all directions at approximately 900 metres below surface.
The Con Mine Option Property includes the following hard assets, which will provide future infrastructure cost savings and efficiencies: multiple existing underground access openings including the original C-1 shaft opening, and the deep Robertson shaft (1,950 metres) with a 2,000-ton-per-day capacity for future underground exploration and mining, valued for time saving and investment saving; surface infrastructure including a large 10,000-square-foot warehouse and dry storage; surface vehicles; and a modern $20million water treatment plant built in 2015. The Con mine reclamation is near completion.
Con MineThe Con Mine produced more than 6.1 Moz averaging 16 to 20 g/t gold from 1938 to 2003. Gold production at the Con mine started in 1938 after the discovery of a large group of veins associated with a wide shear zone. The mine was owned and operated by Cominco Ltd. from 1939 to 1986. The CS was discovered in 1946 by Neil Campbell and brought into production in 1956, and all production after 1963 came from this very rich zone. In 1977, the Robertson shaft was sunk to access new reserves to a depth of 6,400 feet (1,950 metres) or more. In 1986, Cominco sold the Con mine to Nerco Minerals Co. Ltd., which subsequently modernized the underground operation with mechanized machinery. In 1993, Nerco sold the mine to MNML, which continued production and then closed the operation in 2003 at a time when the price of gold was at around US$370 per ounce, which was too low and not profitable to continue production. As such, historic unmined reserves remain in the mine property along with other unexplored high-potential areas.
EXPLORATION OVERVIEW - CON MINE OPTION PROPERTY
The first hole of a deep drilling program below the Con Mine (GTCM23-055) was completed in November 2023 and intersected the Con Shear and the Campbell Shear (CS). It intersected 22.5 metres of the Con Shear deposit starting at 858 metres with assay results of 1.06 g/t Au over 6.4 metres and 1.5 g/t Au over
4.5 metres, including 4.03 g/t Au over 0.5 metre. The Con Shear was mined from 1938 until the 1960's with the C1 shaft to a depth of 800 metres and produced approximately 1 Moz at 20 g/t Au. Hole GTCM23-055 demonstrated that the Con Shear deposit is not cut-off by a granite intrusive and remains open at depth and in all directions, therefore warranting further drilling to assess its excellent potential to add ounces on the Con Mine Option Property.
In the same hole, the CS was intersected from 2,075 to 2,137.5 metres for a total of 62.5 metres with a best interval of 2.93 g/t Au over 8.2 metres, including a high-grade interval of 12.93 g/t Au over 1.7 metres and including 30.0 g/t Au over 0.5 metre. This intersection demonstrated the continuity of this major structure below the deepest mining operations with the presence of a substantial shear structure with impressive widths.
In January 2024, the Company started a wedge hole, GTCM23-055A, off from master hole GTCM23-055, at a downhole depth of 1,641 metres with the aim of intersecting the CS structure at the same depth as the parent hole but 75 metres to the north. The wedge hole entered the CS structure at 2,058 metres down hole. but was abandoned at 2,105.5 meters due to a drilling operator error.The Company started a second deep hole, GTCM24-056 to intersect the CS below hole GTCM24-055 and at approximately 600 metres below the Robertson shaft (depth of 1,900 metres). New gold mineralization ranging up to 13.90 g/t Au over
0.60 metres was intersected in the hanging wall granite of the Con Shear. The Con Shear structure was intersected from 1,366 to 1,405 metres with anomalous gold assays up to 0.6 g/t Au over 0.6 metres. The hole was stopped at a downhole depth of 3,002 metres. The CS was not intersected indicating the steepening of the CS structure at depth.
In January 2025, the Company started its Phase 2 wedge hole drilling program to continue targeting the CS from master hole GTCM24-056. The first wedge hole GTCM25-056A intersected the CS from 2,665 to 2,707 metres downhole (vertical depth of 2,560 metres below surface) with anomalous gold and silver (up to 0.5 g/t Au and 12.6 g/t Ag) from 2,680.5 to 2,703.5 metres downhole depth. The results confirmed the existence of the CS more than 600 metres below the mine. In addition, higher grade gold values (7.81 g/t
Au over 0.5 metres) were intersected in the footwall of the CS within brecciated pyrite-pyrrhotite quartz veins, identical to the lowest levels of the mine.
The deep drilling program has successfully confirmed the continuity of the CS to a vertical depth of 2,580 metres below surface and shown the potential to outline a significant mineral resource below the Robertson shaft.
Despite the gold price having reached levels of US$5,000 per ounce and a positive long-term outlook for gold, it has been challenging and difficult to raise capital for junior exploration companies. Following the initial exploration success of the CS at depth, the Company has decided to pause the more costly deep drilling program and focus on the CS near-surface drill targets, mainly on the Con Mine Option Property.
The2026drill program is targeting the past producing CS in the Yellorex area approximately 2 kilometres south of the historic Con Mine. The Yellorex area drilling targets are where the Company has outlined an initial MRE in 2022, and where there is potential to increase the MRE between surface and 700 metres depth. The drilling targets include: the Yellorex Main Zone with holes already drilled on 30-50 metre spacing in 2021-2023 that account for more than 65% of the 2022 MRE; Yellorex North, which was drilled in 2023, and was not included in the Company's 2022 MRE; and C17 and the 3100' level-part of the CS south of the main mine workings, drilled historically from the 2300' and 3100' levels with some historic untested assays reported in the CS.
On February 5, 2026, the Company announced the completion of eight (8) holes, GTY26-001 - GTY26-008, on the Campbell Shear (CS) in the Yellorex area for a total of 2,613.7 metres drilled. These holes were designed to provide information where there was no drilling information. The winter drilling program is continuing in the Yellorex area.
On February 5, 2026, the Company announced it has engaged SLR Consulting to complete an updated MRE on the Yellowknife Project. The last MRE was completed in 2022, and several zones were not included. The updated MRE is anticipated to be completed in the second half of 2026 and will be an important milestone to advance the project towards a preliminary economic assessment.
On March 17, 2026, the Company announced assay results from the first seven (7) holes of the 2026 Winter Drill Program targeting the Yellorex zone immediately south of the past producing Campbell Shear (CS), historic Con Mine. The drilling aims at confirming some historical holes to expand Gold Terra's near surface 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) on the Con Mine Option property. Assay results include drill hole GTY26-001 which intersected 8.20g/t Au over 20.35 metres from 242.5 metres to 262.85 metres downhole, including 18.7 g/t over 6.8 metres starting at 254.75 metres. The winter drilling in the Yellorex area is progressing very well with two (2) rigs having completed 23 holes and 8,000 metres to date.
The Company has received all key regulatory approvals required to conduct exploration work for the next five years at the Yellowknife project and Con Mine Option property. The Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board has issued a renewed Type A land-use permit (MV2025C0015), effective January 17, 2026, with a five-year term (and the ability to apply for a two-year extension), authorizing mineral exploration activities, including diamond drilling, winter road construction, camp operations and progressive reclamation.
In addition, the Company has been granted a renewed Type B water licence (MV2025L8-0006), effective January 17, 2026, with a seven-year term. The licence authorizes water withdrawal and waste deposition associated with mineral exploration and drilling activities, subject to established environmental protection measures.
The Company has also topped up its reclamation securities with the government of the Northwest Territories. Both securities were topped up in early January 2026 for the land-use permit (LUP) and water licence (WL). Both securities totalled $198,000 and $36,450 respectively for each permit and cover activities for up to four drill rigs in action.
EXPLORATION OVERVIEW - YP
The YP lies within the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt and covers the northern and southern extensions of the shear system that hosts the former high-grade Con mine (6.1 Moz produced) and Giant mine (8.1 Moz produced) for a total of 14 Moz of gold produced. The project area contains numerous gold showings and multiple shear structures which are the recognized hosts for high-grade gold deposits in the Yellowknife gold district. Being all-season road accessible and all within 10 to 40 kilometres of Yellowknife, the YP is
close to vital infrastructure, including transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power and skilled trades people.
The YP holds significant potential for additional future exploration. A regional map below shows the YP in yellow, contiguous to the Con Mine Option Property and adjacent to the City of Yellowknife.
The 2026 Winter Drill Program is also targeting the Northbelt area, 20 kilometres north of Yellowknife. On February 5, 2026, the Company announced that at Northbelt, two drill holes, GTWL26-020 and GTWL26-021, were completed at the Mispickel target to a depth of 300.7 and 307.7 metres, respectively, testing mineralization associated with the previously reported high-grade GTWL22-014. Holes GTWL26-022 and GTWL26-023 were in progress.
The Mispickel zone was previously drilled in 2022 (19 holes for 6,011 metres completed) and intersected high-grade assays including: GTWL22-002 = 19.00 g/t gold over 4 metres including 73.9 g/t over 1 metre; GTWL22-004 = 7.63 g/t gold over 3 metres including 22.5 g/t Au over 1 metre; and GTWL22-0014 = 31.89 g/t gold over 3 metres including 69.4 g/t Au over 1 metre (see August 25, 2022 press release).
EXPLORATION EXPENDITURES
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $2,649,637 in exploration expenditures, with $2,449,833 spent on the Con Mine Option Property. The main components of the exploration expenditures were as follows:

Use of Proceeds from Flow-through and Charitable Flow-Through FinancingsCFT and FT shares require the Company to incur an amount equivalent to the proceeds of the issued CFT and FT shares on Canadian qualifying exploration expenditures. The Company may be required to indemnify the holders of such shares for any tax and other costs payable by them in the event the Company has not incurred the required exploration expenditures. Under the IFRS framework, the increase to share capital when CFT and FT shares are issued is measured based on the current market price of the common shares. The incremental proceeds, or "premium", are recorded as a flow-through liability.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received $1,314,000 from the issuance of CFT and FT shares at a premium to the market price and recognized a deferred premium on flow-through shares of $354,000. The Company incurred eligible expenditures of $13,729 during the year ended December 31, 2024 and incurred the remaining $1,300,271 during the year ended December 31, 2025. These expenditures will not be available to the Company for future deduction from taxable income.

These expenditures will not be available to the Company for future deduction from taxable income.
Under the IFRS framework, the increase to share capital when flow-through shares are issued is measured based on the current market price of common shares. The incremental proceeds, or "premium", are recorded as deferred income.

CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The surge in gold prices has significantly impacted junior gold companies, enabling them to better secure capital for exploration and development. However, the financial landscape remains challenging in 2025 as a result of geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures, and shifts in monetary policy.The management of the Company remains cautious and will continue to take the necessary precautions to maintain its cash reserves. The Company has commitments in the future (in 2026 and beyond) on its mineral properties and the Company may be forced to abandon and write-off one or more of these properties if the Company does not have the means to meet these commitments or does not feel it is fiscally prudent to do so.
The Company continues to evaluate financing windows or opportunities in the future while reviewing its mineral property commitments as well as its working capital position on an ongoing basis. While management does not believe that the abandonment of any of the Company's mineral properties is required at this time, management may elect to abandon properties when obligations become due if deemed necessary in order to maintain the long-term viability of the Company.

Gold Terra is in the exploration stage and therefore has no regular cash flow. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $7,521,206, excluding the deferred premium on flow-through shares of $1,544,678 (December 31, 2024 - working capital of $1,024,841excluding the deferred premium on flow-through shares of $350,301), and inclusive of cash and cash equivalents of $7,557,451 (December 31, 2024 - $1,359,296).
At December 31, 2025, the Company had current assets of $7,697,450, total assets of $60,506,212 and total liabilities of $2,243,922, inclusive of the deferred premium on flow-through shares of $1,544,678 and deferred income tax liability of $523,000. The Company has no other long-term debt. There are no regular trends in the Company's liquidity or capital resources.
The principal assets of the Company are its mineral exploration properties, amounting to $52,653,972 as at December 31, 2025.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the year ended December 31, 2025 of $6,198,155 was due to cash used for investing activities of $797,775 and cash used in operating activities of $2,322,255, while being offset by cash provided by financing activities of $9,318,185.
The development of the Company in the future will depend on the Company's ability to obtain additional financings. In the past, the Company has relied on the sale of equity securities to meet its expenditure requirements. Future expenditures, in excess of funds on hand, will depend on the Company's ability to obtain financing through joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining any such financing or in joint
venturing its property and failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Company's properties.
CommitmentsThe Company has no commitments for capital expenditures other than optional expenditures to earn property interests.
Risk, Uncertainties and OutlookThe business of mineral deposit exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored ultimately become producing mines. At present, none of the Company's properties has a known commercial ore deposit. Other risks facing the Company include competition for mineral properties, environmental and insurance risks, fluctuations in metal prices, fluctuations in exchange rates, share price volatility and uncertainty of additional financing.
Going concernThe Company is in the exploration stage and has no revenue or income from operations. The Company has limited capital resources and has to rely upon the sale of equity and/or debt securities for cash required for exploration and development purposes, for acquisitions and to fund the administration of the Company. Since the Company does not expect to generate any revenues from operations in the near future, it must continue to rely upon the sales of its equity or debt securities or joint venture agreements to raise capital. It follows that there can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company in the amount required by the Company at any particular time or for any period and that such financing can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.
The Company's audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its ongoing commitments and further its mineral exploration programs.
The surge in gold prices has led to a significant increase in capital flows into junior gold exploration companies, however, the potential for a downturn in gold prices presents a risk as there may be challenges in maintaining investor interest and securing necessary capital. While the Company is using its best efforts to achieve its business plans by examining various financing alternatives, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with any financing ventures.

Financial Risk ManagementThe Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts and its receivables. The majority of cash is deposited in bank accounts held with major banks in Canada. As most of the Company's cash is held by two banks there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using major banks that are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies. The Company's receivables are mostly tax receivables from the government. The risk related to receivables is assessed low.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents.
Historically, the Company's sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company's access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding. Liquidity risk is, therefore, assessed as high.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and other foreign currencies will affect the Company's operations and financial results. The Company operates in Canada and is, therefore, not exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has positive cash balances at December 31, 2025 and no interest bearing debt, therefore, interest rate risk is nominal.
Capital management
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity, comprising share capital, net of accumulated deficit.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
