DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESSThe Company is an exploration stage company whose shares trade on Tier II (effective June 16, 2016) of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company holds a 100% leasehold interest in the New Amalga Gold Project consisting of 165 mining claims located approximately 20 miles north of Juneau, Alaska, subject to minimum annual advance royalties of US$30,000 and a 5.0% net smelter returns royalty.
The Company is in the process of exploring its principal mineral property and has not yet determined whether the property contains ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred exploration costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
The Company incurred a net loss of $1,009,709 (2025 - $271,667) for the three months ended January 31, 2026, and has an accumulated deficit of $26,337,369 (October 31, 2025 - $25,327,660) which has been funded primarily by the issuance of equity. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain and is dependent upon the generation of profits from mineral properties, obtaining additional financing or maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors. In the event that additional financial support is not received or operating profits are not generated, the carrying values of the Company's assets may be adversely affected.

At January 31, 2026, the Company's primary asset was its investment in exploration and evaluation assets of $21,956,628 (October 31, 2025 - $21,577,351).
During the three months ended January 31, 2026, the Company experienced a cash outflow of $143,364 (2025 - $220,877) from operating activities. Investing activities used cash of $385,192 (2025 - $144,011) which was spent on the Company's Alaskan property. The Company realized net cash inflows of $6,757,538 (2025 - $970,230) from financing activities.
At January 31, 2026, the Company held cash of $8,054,506 and short-term investments of $1,500,000, had working capital of
$9,552,018, has not yet achieved profitable operations, has commitments due in the coming fiscal year, and had an accumulated deficit of $26,337,369 since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to advance its mineral property interests, meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company.
The Company does not derive any revenues from operations and does not expect to generate any revenues from operations in the foreseeable future. The Company has no material income from operations.
The Company's mineral exploration activities have provided the Company with no sources of income and a history of losses and deficit positions. However, given the nature of its business, the results of operations as reflected in the net losses and losses per share do not provide meaningful interpretation of the Company's performance and valuation.
The Company is dependent on raising funds through the issuance of shares and/or debt instruments or disposing of interests it has in exploration and evaluation assets in order to finance further acquisitions, undertake exploration and development activities on exploration and evaluation assets and meet general and administrative expenses in the long term.
There is no assurance that additional funding will be available to allow the Company to fully explore its exploration and evaluation assets. Failure to obtain financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and the possible partial or total loss of the Company's interest in certain properties. The Company may be unable to meet its obligations under agreements to which it is a party and the Company may consequently have its interest in the properties subject to such agreements jeopardized.
RECLAMATION BONDSThe Company placed Guaranteed Interest Certificates ("GICs") in trust as reclamation deposits pursuant to a condition of receiving consent from a government agency to explore its resource property interests. At January 31, 2026, the Company held GICs totaling
$72,153 (US $54,177) (2025 - CAD $72,153; US $54,177).

New Amalga Gold Project
The Company holds a 100% interest in the New Amalga Gold Project consisting of 164 unpatented mining claims.
Pursuant to option agreements with Quaterra Alaska Inc. dated June 2010, June 2012, and October 2016, the Company acquired 91 unpatented mining claims, located approximately 20 miles north of Juneau, Alaska which is subject to a 5% net smelter returns royalty reserved to the underlying lessor, plus minimum annual advance royalties of $30,000 USD due every November 1st. All advance royalties will be credited towards any net smelter returns royalty paid upon the commencement of commercial production.
In August 2022, the Company staked 10 additional unpatented mining claims for its New Amalga Gold Project continuously adjoining the northeast corner of the property. The new claims were staked to cover the north-eastern extension thereby ensuring a continuation of the prospective ground held by the Company and its drilling efforts to expand upon its resource. The vein structures and mineralization show no signs of diminishing with depth, and that the host rock unit containing the mineralized veins dips to the northeast between two major bounding faults.
In May 2025, the Company announced that it staked 64 new federal claims adjacent to its existing exploration claims at the New Amalga Gold project in Southeast Alaska. The added claims are intended to accommodate future surface facilities in support of a potential underground mine at the site. These facilities could include building and infrastructure for:
Electrical utilities
Equipment maintenance
Ore sorting
Backfill preparation
Supplies warehousing
Water treatment
Office and Administration
Ore-Sorting Technology Test Work
The Company initiated test work for a sensor-based ore sorting system, utilizing samples from the New Amalga Gold Project. As previously disclosed, the Company's Conceptual Mining Plan envisions the development of the New Amalga Gold Project as a selective underground mining operation which would send ore off-site to be processed at a third-party facility. This results in a dramatically reduced mine site footprint due to the avoidance of chemical processing and tailings storage facilities. Processing options include potential use of third-party concentrator facilities around the Pacific Rim or direct shipment to smelters in East Asia.
Grande Portage has assembled a drill core composite which is reflective of the anticipated production from the Conceptual Mine Plan. The composite includes both ore and waste samples to reflect the expected dilution from wall rock (waste) which is inherent with underground blasting of narrow ore veins. This core is being subjected to a sensor-based ore sorting test process at the facilities of Steinert US Inc, a leading global manufacturer of ore-sorting equipment.
The purpose of ore sorting is to quickly separate particles of waste dilution rock from the mined material, without the use of chemical reagents. Sensor-based ore sorting utilizes a variety of measurements to determine whether a particle is ore or waste, including color, electromagnetic induction, and x-ray analysis to assess elemental composition. The crushed rock is placed on a conveyor belt and then dropped in front of the sensor, which rapidly analyzes the individual pieces of rock. When a piece of rock is identified as waste, a puff of compressed air redirects it to a "reject" bin. The remaining pieces of rock are sent to the stockpile of accepted material.
On April 8th, 2025, the Company announced outstanding results from the Sensor-Based Ore Sorting testwork, with gold grade of sample Increased by 120%.
Summary of Results:
The results of the testwork with the Steinert ore sorting equipment demonstrated excellent ability to identify and reject the unmineralized particles within the sample of New Amalga material, resulting in a 120% increase in gold grade and a 57% reduction in mass with very minimal gold loss.
Integrating ore sorting into the conceptual mine production plan significantly reduces the amount of mined rock requiring transportation and processing at a third-party facility, lowering per-ounce costs and also providing useful sorter-reject material for underground backfill, all without the use of chemical processing reagents. This further enhances the existing advantages of the Company's proposed direct-ship mine configuration which utilizes off-site processing.
Environmental Baseline Studies
The Company announced that it initiated comprehensive environmental & cultural baseline studies for the New Amalga Gold Project. Environmental Baseline Studies currently include the following:
Wetlands Delineation -Mapping the extent of wetlands and other jurisdictional waters in the project area is a key input for the design of mine facilities to minimize impacts to federally regulated wetland areas. This work will inform future Clean Water Act - Section 404 permitting with the US Army Corps of Engineers. Surface Water Sampling -Continuation and expansion of a multi-year analysis of water quality both upstream and downstream of the potential mine facilities provides a pre-construction baseline for future Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) permitting. Archeological & Cultural Resources Review - Desktop database investigation to identify any documented archeological & cultural sites in proximity to the project is the initial step in complying with the Alaska Historic Preservation Act and informs future field surveys. Meteorological & Hydrological Studies - Collection of meteorological data including temperature, precipitation, wind direction and speed as well as hydrological data such as river flow volume is of key importance for the engineering design of mine infrastructure and provides important inputs to the Alaska Department of Conservation APDES and Air Quality Control permits. Aquatic Studies -Field surveys and sampling to document aquatic biological conditions in the project area are necessary to inform future ADF&G Fish Habitat Permits and other state and federal permits, as well as to support mine design protective of fish habitat and fish passage. This work will be conducted by the Alaska Dept of Fish & Game under contract with Grande Portage.Property Highlights
On July 22nd, 2024 - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. filed an updated NI 43-101 Independent Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100% controlled New Amalga Gold Deposit located in S.E. Alaska. The Mineral Resource Estimate has a base case mineral resource cut to 181 grams per tonne gold (gpt Au). The Mineral Resource is reported at a 2.5 gpt cutoff grade and consists of:
An Indicated Resource of 1,438,500 ounces of gold at an average grade of 9.47 gpt Au in 4,726,000 tonnes.
An Inferred Resource of 515,700 ounces of gold at an average grade of 8.85 gpt Au in 1,813,000 tonnes.
An Indicated Resource of 891,600 ounces of silver at an average grade of 5.86 gpt Ag in 4,726,000 tonnes.
An Inferred Resource of 390,600 ounces of silver at an average grade of 7.33 gpt Ag in 1,813,000 tonnes.
Highlights:
34 diamond drill holes from 8 separate pads totalling 15,611 m (~51,000 ft) are added to the database which now total 240 holes.
The Z and M pad drilling tested the western portion of the deposit and tightened the spacing on high-grade mineralization in the Goat Hanging Wall, Goat and Sleeping Giant veins, increasing the confidence level.
The AB, P, Q, and BB pad drilling tested the eastern and deeper portions of the deposit and identifying new high-grade mineralization in the Sleeping Giant (15.42 gpt gold/2.1 m) and extending the Goat Hanging Wall, Goat, Sleeping Giant, Ridge, Main Hanging Wall and Main veins to the east and to depth.
Deepest mineralization intersected to date on the property at -400m AMSL in 21Q-4 (20.9 gpt gold/0.9m) in the Main Vein (outcrops at 185m AMSL).
Mineralization is open on all veins and uncorrelated intercepts located in sparsely drilled areas north and south of the Deep Trench Vein, and north of the Goat Hanging Wall Vein.
Silver occurrences are associated with the gold values in the New Amalga Deposit especially in areas with strong galena mineralization, with specific concentrations noted in the Main Vein where it enters the metasediments to the west. The updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate, prepared by DRW Geological Consultants Ltd., uses a total of 240 drill holes and 7 channel cuts to calculate the Mineral Resource. At total of 5,810 samples were assayed for gold and 3,755 samples were analyzed for additional pathfinder elements. All unassayed sections of core are assumed to be 0 gpt gold. All 1.5 m x 8 m x 8m blocks require a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 8 composites within 100 m to be estimated. All blocks must be at least 50% within the solid model that describes the vein to be considered. Blocks that are within 60 m of a drill hole are considered Indicated and all other blocks are categorized as Inferred.
On September 9th, 2024, the Company announced that, further to its updated NI #43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate, the Company has developed a Conceptual Mining Plan to determine the optimal development pathway for its New Amalga Gold Project located in SE Alaska. The Company engaged the services of OreLogic LLC, a consulting firm providing mine planning and project development services. OreLogic is led by Kyle Mehalek, formerly Chief Mining Engineer at Hecla Mining's Greens Creek Mine in southeast Alaska, one of the largest and lowest-cost primary silver mines in the world.
The Company's gold deposit, formerly known as the Herbert Gold project, has been re-named the "New Amalga Gold Project" in recognition of the gold mining heritage of the local project area. The historic Amalga Gold Camp located approximately four miles (6.5km) from the project site, produced tens of thousands of ounces of lode gold during the early 20thcentury.
The Conceptual Mining Plan evaluates the development of a selective underground mining operation which would extract high-grade material with minimal dilution. Due to the project's location near tidewater and less than 4 miles (6.5km) from existing paved highway, the Company considers off-site processing to be the most favourable configuration and is investigating numerous business opportunities including strategic partnerships, potential use of third-party facilities around the Pacific Rim, and direct shipment to smelters in East Asia.
The Company's board of directors, management and its advisors assess that an offsite-processing configuration for the New Amalga Gold Project is the optimal development pathway, providing a number of potential benefits including:
Elimination of the requirement to develop a tailings disposal facility near the mine. No tailings would be generated at the site.
Elimination of the requirement for permanent waste rock storage facilities. All waste rock generated from mine access development would be returned to the underground workings for stope backfill.
No use of gold processing reagents at the site.
Dramatically reduced land usage and overall environmental footprint.
Greatly simplified post-mining closure and reclamation.
De-risking of the environmental review and permitting process.
Minimization of project construction CAPEX.
On September 10th, 2024, the Company announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent with Goldbelt, Incorporated to explore the potential development of an ore terminal at Goldbelt's Cascade Point site in SE Alaska, approximately 33 miles (53 km) northwest of the city of Juneau.
As mentioned above, the Company's Conceptual Mining Plan evaluates the development of the New Amalga gold project as a selective underground mining operation which would extract high-grade material with minimal dilution. Due to the project's location near tidewater and less than 4 miles (6.5km) from existing paved highway, the Company considers off-site processing to be the most favourable configuration and is investigating numerous business opportunities including strategic partnerships, potential use of third-party facilities around the Pacific Rim, and direct shipment to smelters in East Asia.
Grande Portage has determined that a Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) platform holds the most promise to advance the New Amalga Gold project. In furtherance of that goal, Grande Portage and Goldbelt have signed a letter of intent to explore the potential development of an ore terminal at the Cascade Point site. Cascade Point is located approximately 15 miles (24 km) from the New Amalga Gold Project and is accessible via Glacier Highway, an existing state-maintained roadway. The design for the ore terminal will be integrated with Goldbelt's planning for a future Alaska Marine Highway System ferry terminal at the site, such that the location can accommodate both functions in separate areas, with flexibility for the two projects to be built either concurrently or sequentially.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTSAs of the date of this filing, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources that have not previously been discussed.

RISK FACTORSThe following is a brief description of some of the risks that investors should be aware of. This discussion should not be considered complete and therefore, the Company, its directors and officers would like to recommend shareholders, lenders, investors and readers of the Management Discussion and Analysis and other documents that the Company may disseminate to review their investments directly with their financial advisors.
the Company has not yet commenced commercial operations and has no history of earnings;
there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Company's common shares will develop, and an investor may find it difficult to resell its common shares.
Financial Instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
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).
Fair value
The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, marketable securities, and accounts payable. The carrying values of cash, receivables and payables approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company's cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as all are placed with two major Canadian financial institutions. The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as all have been placed with major financial institutions.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. At January 31, 2026, the Company had working capital of $9,552,018 (October 31, 2025 - $3,837,180). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. Even though the Company has adequate working capital as at January 31, 2026 to discharge its existing financial obligations, the Company will require additional funding in order to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that financing of sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company will be available.
Market Risk
The Company's financial instruments include marketable securities which are publicly traded and therefore subject to the risks related to the fluctuation in market prices of publicly traded securities. The Company closely monitors market values to determine the most appropriate course of action.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is not subject to any significant interest rate risk. In management's opinion, the Company's interest rate risk is minimal as its cash equivalents may be redeemed upon demand without significant penalty.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is not subject to any significant foreign currency risk as it does not have a significant number of financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies. The Company does not engage in any hedging activity.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company's ability to raise capital to fund exploration and development activities may be subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of commodities. Management closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTSThere are no subsequent events to report.
