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

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

   Japan Gold Corp. ("Japan Gold" or "the Company") is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia.

   The Company is exploring and evaluating mineral properties across the three largest islands of Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu. The Company's head office is at Suite 650-669 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 0B4. The Company's shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol "JG" and on the OTC Markets ("OTCQB") under the symbol "JGLDF".

   These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a "going concern", which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they become due. The Company has not generated any revenues or cash flows from operations to date. For the period ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred negative cash flows from operations of $1,179,983 and recorded a net loss of $2,778,679. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to successfully raise additional financing, entering into a joint venture, sale of all or a portion of the Company's assets, the outright sale of the Company, the successful development of the Company's mineral property interests, or a combination thereof. The Company believes that it will be able to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future based on the Company's historical and anticipated ability to raise additional financing to further advance its projects. However, the Company will continue to incur negative cash flows from operations and the Company will require additional funding in the future. 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 acceptable to the Company. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's most recent annual financial statements.

These consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Company's Board of Directors on August 21, 2025.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned Japanese subsidiary, Japan Gold KK ("JGKK"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company consolidates subsidiaries where it has the ability to exercise control. Control over an investee is defined to exist when the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Particularly, the Company controls investees, if and only if, the Company has all of the following: power over the investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued) Significant accounting judgments and estimates

   The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, and in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

   In preparing the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company applied the critical judgments and estimates disclosed in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

   As at June 30, 2025, the balance of cash and cash equivalents is $4,048,391 (December 31, 2024: $80,230) of which

   $3,910,930 (December 31, 2024: $Nil) is cash equivalents related to Guaranteed Investment Certificates ("GICs") purchased during the period. During the period ended June 30, 2025, the Company redeemed $Nil of Canadian GIC's to fund operations (December 31, 2024: $1,750,000). During the period ended June 30, 2025, the Company redeemed $1,175,000 of US GIC's to fund operations (December 31, 2024: $Nil).

Osisko Royalty Sale

On February 4, 2025, the Company along with its wholly-owned subsidiary JGKK entered into an investment agreement ("Investment Agreement") with Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd ("Osisko") to sell to Osisko 1.5% net smelter royalty (the "Initial Royalty") on certain Japan Gold Corp. properties and assets in Japan that are not (or subsequently are not) subject to the Barrick Alliance (collectively, the "Royalty Properties'), as evidenced by a royalty agreement entered into by the Company and Osisko concurrently with the Investment Agreement, for cash consideration of US$5,000,000. On the first anniversary of the Investment Agreement, or such other date mutually agreed to between the Company and Osisko, Osisko will have the option to purchase an additional 0.5% net smelter return royalty (together with the Initial Royalty, as the case may be, the "Royalty") from JGKK on the Royalty Properties, for additional cash consideration of US$3,000,000 payable by Osisko to the Company on such date.

The Royalty is a secured obligation of the Company evidenced initially by, among other things, a share pledge by the Company of JGKK's shares as well as by a guarantee from Japan Gold Corp., with a full security package to be put in place by the parties following further consultation with the applicable governmental authorities and to the extent permitted under applicable laws and the Barrick Alliance agreement dated February 23, 2020 among the Company and Barrick Mining Corporation. The Company has granted Osisko certain rights as part of the transaction, including a right of first refusal on future royalty and stream transactions on present and future Japan Gold Corp. properties that are not subject to the Barrick Alliance. Net proceeds of the Transaction will be primarily used by the Company for the exploration, development and general advancement of the Royalty Properties, with the balance to be used for general working capital purposes.

As at June 30, 2025, the Company received net proceeds of $7,029,050 from the royalty sale and recorded this against the exploration and evaluation assets.

1. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

   Barrick Alliance

   On February 24, 2020, the Company entered into a country wide alliance with Barrick Mining Corporation ("Barrick") to jointly explore, develop and mine certain gold mineral properties in Japan (the "Barrick Alliance"). The Barrick Alliance covered 29 out of 31 projects that were held by JGKK at that time. The Barrick Alliance does not include the Ikutahara Project in Hokkaido and the Ohra-Takamine Project in Kyushu and the Company will continue to advance these two projects independently. Barrick funded a 2-year Initial Evaluation Phase comprising a majority of the projects (minimum funding of US$3,000,000 per year) and has now commenced the funding of a subsequent 3-year Second Evaluation Phase on three projects (minimum funding of US$4 million per year) that have met Barrick's inclusion criteria and returned 26 projects to the Company. The three projects are the Togi, Hakuryu and Ebino projects. Barrick will continue to provide full support and management and sole fund all Barrick Alliance activities for the three selected projects. The Company is internally evaluating all projects that Barrick did not select, which remain at an early stage of investigation but offer exploration potential, with a view to determining which to advance independently or by bringing in additional partners.

   The Company acts as the Manager of the remaining projects, subject to Barrick's right at any time to become the Manager of a project. Barrick may identify a project as a Designated Project at any time during the Initial Evaluation Phase or the Second Evaluation Phase and elect to sole fund to completion of a pre-feasibility study ("PFS"). Upon completion of a PFS, Barrick will earn a 51% interest in the Designated Project. Barrick may elect to continue to sole fund a Designated Project following the completion of a PFS to a bankable feasibility study ("BFS"). Barrick's interest in the Designated Project at the completion of the BFS will increase to 75%. Where Barrick has elected to sole fund a Designated Project through to completion of a BFS, Japan Gold will be fully carried through completion of the BFS and retain a 25% interest in the Designated Project. Barrick and Japan Gold established a Technical Committee to, among other matters, provide input in respect of the preparation of programs and budgets for, and the conduct of operations on, projects that are part of the Barrick Alliance. All programs and budgets for projects that are part of the Barrick Alliance will be subject to approval by Barrick. Under the terms of the Barrick Alliance agreement, if Barrick acquires common shares of Japan Gold and Barrick's ownership interest in Japan Gold is at least 10%, Barrick will have the right, but not the obligation, to appoint a nominee to Japan Gold's Board of Directors.

   During the period ended June 30, 2025, Barrick paid $3,004,988 (US$2,153,424) (December 31, 2024 - $4,072,681 (US$2,976,737)) to the Company as funding for the Barrick Alliance work programs. On receipt of funds from Barrick, the Company records amounts received as restricted cash with an offsetting payable to Barrick. The payable to Barrick is decreased as qualifying expenditures are incurred on Barrick Alliance work programs. As at June 30, 2025, $910,077 (US$667,065) (December 31, 2024, $237 (US$164)) is recorded as restricted cash representing amounts funded by Barrick in excess of amounts paid by the Company for exploration and evaluation expenditures and/or amounts to be reimbursed to the Company by Barrick for exploration and evaluation expenditures. As at June 30, 2025, the Company had a receivable of $11,293 from Barrick (December 31, 2024: $616,981), representing amounts not yet reimbursed from the restricted cash account.

   Subsequent to June 30, 2025, Barrick paid $177,158 (US$128,814) to fund work programs. Including the amounts received subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company has received a total funding of $23,155,932 (US$17,375,498) for the Barrick Alliance activities. To date, Barrick has not identified any project as a Designated Project.

3. SHARE CAPITAL

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common and preferred shares without par value. There are currently no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

On November 7, 2024, the Company converted Convertible Debentures totaling $2,866,034 including principal and interest expense into common shares at a price of $0.13 per share (and the greater of Market Price and $0.13 per common share, in the case of the interest accrued). As a result, the Company converted the Debentures (including interest) into 22,338,738 common shares of the Company.

The Company has a "rolling" Share Option Plan (the "Plan") in compliance with the TSX-V's policy for granting share options. Under the Plan, the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance may not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares and, to any one optionee, may not exceed 5% of the issued common shares on a yearly basis. The exercise price of each option shall not be less than the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant. Options have expiry dates of no later than 10 years after the grant date. Vesting of options is determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant.

In 2023, the Company adopted an updated omnibus equity incentive plan (the "Compensation Plan") which was approved at the Company's annual general meeting of stockholders held on October 12, 2023. The Compensation Plan supersedes the above Share Option Plan with the Company's Board of Directors passing a resolution capping all types of consideration referred to in the Compensation Plan for 2023 to a rolling maximum of 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as measured on the date of each grant.

On April 10, 2024, the Company granted 200,000 stock options to a consultant. The stock options are exercisable at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of five years with a vesting schedule of 25% on the grant date and 25% every six months thereafter.

On April 11, 2024, the Company granted 1,200,000 stock options to the President and Chief Operating Officer (who is now serving as a Senior Technical Advisor to the Company). The stock options are exercisable at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of five years with a vesting schedule over three years, 33.3% at the end of each year from the anniversary date of the grant date.

On May 21, 2024, the Company granted 200,000 stock options to a director. The stock options are exercisable at

$0.20 per share for a period of five years, with one-third of the options vesting on grant and one-third of the options vesting every six months thereafter.

On January 20, 2025, the Company granted 2,450,000 options to employees and consultants. The stock options are exercisable at $0.13 per share for a period of five years, with one-third of the options vesting on grant and one-third of the options vesting every six months thereafter.

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $119,267 for the period ended June 30, 2025 relating to the options granted in 2025 along with options granted and vested from prior years (June 30, 2024: $25,400).

The following weighted average assumptions were used for the Black-Scholes valuation of share options granted:

The following table summarizes information about the share options outstanding as at June 30, 2025:

As at June 30, 2025, the Company has 9,060,000 options issued and outstanding where 6,576,666 options are exercisable as at June 30, 2025 with a weighted average exercise price of $0.26.

Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company cancelled 1,220,000 stock options previously granted to former consultants.

.

Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") are share-based payments, which are measured at the grant date fair value and amortized over their applicable vesting periods. The offset to the recorded cost is to share-based payment reserve, and ultimately any amounts in share-based payment reserve are transferred to share capital upon settlement of the RSUs with common shares.

RSUs do not require the payment of any monetary consideration to the Company. Instead, they represent the right to receive common shares, or a payment representing common shares, following the attainment of vesting criteria determined at date of grant, notably a requirement that an individual remains eligible for awards for a specified period of time. The option to settle the RSUs in common shares or cash is at the Company's election, and the Company intends to settle its RSUs with common shares issued from treasury.

On April 11, 2024, the Company granted 1,561,682 RSUs to the President and Chief Operating Officer (who is now serving as a Senior Technical Advisor to the Company). The RSUs vest and become exercisable over three years, 33.3% at the end of each year from the anniversary of the grant date. The share price at grant date was $0.12 per share.

On November 7, 2024, the Company granted 10,500,000 RSUs to directors, officers and non-insiders of the Company. The RSUs will vest over two years from the grant date. The share price at grant date was $0.08 per share.

On April 24, 2025, the Company cancelled 500,000 RSUs to a former consultant of the Company.

On May 1, 2025, the Company granted 384,615 RSUs to the VP Exploration, an employee of the Company. The RSUs will vest over a 24-month period, with 50% vesting after 12 months from the date of grant. The share price on the grant date is $0.12.

The following table summarizes information about the RSUs outstanding as at June 30, 2025:

As at June 30, 2025, the Company has 14,096,297 RSUs issued and outstanding with 500,000 RSUs being exercisable as at June 30, 2025.

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $390,820 for the period ended June 30, 2025, relating to RSUs granted (June 30, 2024: $28,630).

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The nature of the Company's operations exposes the Company to liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk, which may have a material effect on cash flows, operations and net loss.

   The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and to monitor market conditions and the Company's activities. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework and policies.

   Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's financial liabilities, comprising its accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as current. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure as far as possible that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities when due (see also Note 1).

   Credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, deposits and accounts receivable. The Company limits its credit exposure on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash by holding its deposits mainly with high credit quality financial institutions as determined by credit agencies. The carrying value of these financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company has no history of credit loss and no allowance for credit loss recorded at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

   Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. The Company is currently exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash and short-term investment maintained at the financial institutions are subject to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate risk on the Company's cash and short-term investment is not significant.

   The Company operates in Japan and is subject to foreign currency fluctuations primarily on its cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities denominated in a currency other than Japanese yen ("Yen or ¥"). As at June 30, 2025, the Company limits its exposure by holding its cash mostly in Canadian dollar. Additionally, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on non-Canadian denominated monetary assets and liabilities recorded in Japan Gold. As at June 30, 2025, every 1% of change in foreign exchange rate in either direction would result in change in net loss of approximately $3,200.

   Fair value

   IFRS requires disclosure about fair value measurements for financial instruments and liquidity risk using a three-level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements. The three-level hierarchy is as follows:

   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 carrying values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivables, deposits and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short terms to maturity.

4. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

   The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration and development of its mineral properties, and to maintain a flexible capital structure. The Company considers items included in shareholders' equity as capital. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares or return capital to its shareholder.

   The Company currently does not earn any revenue and has relied on existing cash balances and capital financing to fund its operations. The Company is currently not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

   There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management for the period ended June 30, 2025.
