("Mega" or the "Company") should be read in conjunction with Mega's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("interim consolidated statements") and notes thereto as at and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025. The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in the preparation of the interim consolidated statements as were followed in the preparation and described in note 3 of the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended September 30, 2024.

All information other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "budget", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar words or phrases (including negative variations) suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. Forward-looking information contained in this MD&A includes, but is not limited to the Company's expectations regarding its portfolio investment strategy, including the time horizon for holding positions and milestones for dispositions, the Company's exploration and development activities, including expectations regarding drilling and other activities conducted to advance properties and associated expenditures, receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals, the Company's future operating costs and working capital requirements, including its ability to satisfy such requirements, including margin repayment, through dispositions of securities or other means and the anticipated timing of dispositions of securities, the exposure of its financial instruments to various risks and its ability to manage those risks, the Company's ability to use tax resource pools and loss carryforwards, fees to be incurred by foreign subsidiaries and changes in accounting policies.

Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information. The Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information contained in this MD&A. Some of the risks and other factors which could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A include, but are not limited to: risks relating to uranium exploration activities generally, including the availability and cost of geophysical, drilling and other equipment; uncertainties associated with the uranium industry, including supply and demand fundamentals, our ability to complete our capital programs; geological, technical, drilling and processing problems, including the availability of equipment and access to properties; our ability to secure adequate transportation for our products; potential losses which would stem from any disruptions in production, including work stoppages or other labour difficulties, or disruptions in the transportation network on which we are reliant; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; our ability and the ability of our partners to attract and retain the necessary labour required to explore and

develop our projects; potential conflicting interests with our joint venture partners; our failure or the failure of the holder(s) of licenses or leases to meet specific requirements of such licenses or leases; the failure by counterparties to make payments or perform their operational or other obligations in compliance with the terms of contractual arrangements between us and such counterparties; adverse claims made in respect of our properties or assets; operating hazards and other difficulties inherent in the exploration for and production and sale of uranium; political and economic conditions in the countries in which our property interests are located; obtaining the necessary financing for operations, and unanticipated costs or increased costs incurred to run the operations, our ability to generate taxable income from operations, fluctuations in the value of our portfolio investments due to market conditions and/or company-specific factors, fluctuations in prices of commodities underlying our interests and portfolio investments, unexpected working capital requirements (whether as to timing or quantum) which could require untimely investment dispositions and negatively impact realizable proceeds, and other risks included elsewhere in this MD&A under the heading "Risks" and in the Company's public disclosure documents filed with certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities and available under the Company's profile at https://www.sedarplus.ca.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause events or results to differ from those intended, anticipated or estimated. The forward-looking information contained in this MD&A are made as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. All of the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Note Regarding Investee Company Information

This MD&A contains information regarding NexGen Energy Ltd. (the "Investee Information"), whose securities form part of our investment portfolio. The Investee Information has been obtained from publicly available information disclosed by NexGen. We have not verified and make no representations regarding the accuracy or completeness of the Investee Information. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing stated in this paragraph operates to relieve Mega from liability for any misrepresentation regarding the Investee Information contained in this MD&A under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Nature of the Business

Mega was incorporated in 1990 under the laws of the Province of Ontario and its shares are publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol "MGA". The Company is domiciled in the Province of Ontario, Canada and its registered office address is located at 217 Queen Street West, Suite 401, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5V 0R2.

Mega has a uranium resource project and interests in exploration properties in Australia and equity investments in uranium-focused public and private companies.

Mega has not yet determined whether its resource property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and related expenditures is dependent upon various factors, including: the future selling price of uranium; the existence of economically recoverable reserves; the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration and development; government permitting policies and regulations; and future profitable production or proceeds from property disposition.

In addition to the Company's own exploration activities, Mega participates indirectly in the uranium sector through its securities holdings in other companies, including its significant long-term investment in NexGen Energy Ltd. ("NexGen") (TSX:NXE), its equity investment in Toro Energy Limited ("Toro") (ASX:TOE), and marketable securities of other uranium-focused issuers, including IsoEnergy Ltd. ("ISO")(TSX:ISO). The Company classifies its investments in each of the foregoing three categories in accordance with IFRS based on various factors, including Mega's percentage interest in and ability to otherwise influence the entity and the Company's trading intentions. The classifications are discussed in the notes to the Company's audited September 30, 2024 consolidated financial statements. Additional information about our investment portfolio is provided elsewhere in this MD&A, including in the section entitled "Investment Portfolio".

Investment Strategies and Oversight

We generally acquire and hold investments with a medium to long term view, on the basis of perceived value and growth opportunities and the ability of management teams to effectively execute business plans. We manage our investment portfolio in-house, relying upon the broad industry knowledge and expertise of management to identify and evaluate investment opportunities and monitor the investee companies on an on-going basis. Investment performance is monitored via available market data (including continuous disclosure made by the investees that are public companies) and contact with investee management. Monitoring may also include involvement on the board of directors of an investee via contractual nominee rights or informally, where the size of the investment or other factors so warrant. Officers of Mega currently serve on the boards of NexGen, our principal holding by fair value, Toro, one of our longest-held investments, and ISO.

Our exit strategies include mergers or the achievement of other significant milestones for our investee companies, but may also involve otherwise timely dispositions of the securities in the secondary market, if and when warranted, and receipt of third-party bids for the securities which are beneficial to us, in the circumstances.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may pursue a particular investment or series of investments that may diverge from these strategies from time to time, where suitable opportunities present themselves.

Operational Highlights
  • During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued 3,990,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $709 upon the exercise of stock options by a participant under Mega's stock option plan.

  • In October 2024, the Company acquired an additional 6,000,000 ordinary shares of Toro for $1,329, increasing Mega's holdings to an aggregate of 15,226,256 ordinary shares.

  • On January 2, 2025, the Company granted 1,675,000 stock options to employees, directors and officers of the Company at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. These stock options vest in three-month intervals over an 18-month period from the date of grant and expire 5 years from the date of grant.

  • On March 1, 2025, the Company granted 2,990,000 stock options to officers and a director of the Company at an exercise price of $0.27 per share. These stock options vest in three-month intervals over an 18-month period from the date of grant and expire 5 years from the date of grant.

Overall Performance

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $959 as compared to working capital of $11,264 as at September 30, 2024. The decrease in working capital is attributable to the increase in due to broker and decrease in value of marketable securities during the period ended March 31, 2025.

The value of Mega's investment portfolio fluctuated over the period, driven primarily by changes in the price of uranium and industry sentiment, as well as overall volatility in the markets caused by US trade policies. In particular, the value of our NexGen investment decreased approximately 27% to $124,648 at period-end.

The Company is an exploration and development stage mineral resources company, with an investment portfolio comprised of uranium-focused companies. Issues of seasonality have not had an impact on our results or operations, however, commodity market fluctuations, and fluctuations in the price of uranium, in particular, have impacted the value of our investments, our exploration activities and our ability to grow through acquisition, and may continue to do so in the future. Over the past eight quarters, variations in the quarterly net income (loss) were caused by fluctuations in realized and unrealized gains/losses on marketable securities and long-term investment, income/(loss) from equity investment, exploration and evaluation expenditures and general and administrative expense. Financial income (loss) varies from quarter-to-quarter due primarily to changes in the fair value of the Company's investments in marketable securities, which give rise to unrealized gains/losses. Stock-based compensation expense varies from quarter-to-quarter depending on the number of stock options granted in a quarter, their vesting periods, and the inputs, including assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is used to calculate the fair value of the stock options.

Results of operations For the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company's net loss was $9,595 compared to net income of $306 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net loss of $9,901 is primarily attributable to the following:

  • The increase of $2,196 in unrealized loss on marketable securities resulting from the lower aggregate fair value of the securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

  • During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a realized loss of $651 from the sale of marketable securities compared to a gain of $403 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

  • During the three months ended March 31, 2025, other income decreased by $335 compared to the 2024 comparable period. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company received dividend income of $354 from IsoEnergy Ltd.

  • Deferred tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $6,034 compared to a deferred tax recovery of $254 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The deferred tax expense is due to the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets in the respective periods.

    A breakdown of general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is provided below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company does not generate operating revenues from its mining operations. It finances its mining and discretionary investment activities through proceeds from private placements of its securities, margin borrowings, the exercise of its stock options by holders and dispositions of investments in the normal course.

Absent the foregoing funding sources, the Company utilizes its existing cash reserves to maintain its capacity to meet ongoing operating activities. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $532 and amounts payable and other liabilities of $1,865. As of March 31, 2025, the Company does not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to settle its liabilities. Approximately $1,346 of the amounts payable and other liabilities is due to related parties, the majority of which is owed to a payee who has agreed to defer payment.

There is no assurance that future equity capital will be available to the Company in the amounts or at the times desired by the Company or on terms that are acceptable to it, if at all. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2025, the Company had 37,170,003 options outstanding, which would raise $10,119, if exercised in full by the holders, however such exercises are outside of Mega's control and dependent upon various factors, including the future trading prices of the underlying common shares, which cannot be predicted. Accordingly, Mega cannot rely on the availability of these sources of funds with any degree of certainty.

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had amounts due to brokers of $15,568 ($15,094 as at September 30, 2024) and marketable securities valued at $17,725 ($27,564 as at September 30, 2024). Due to brokers consists of margin borrowings plus accrued interest, collateralized by all of the Company's investments held at the broker.

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a maximum amount of $18,000 in available margin under its broker arrangement. In the normal course of business, the Company utilizes margin borrowings primarily as a readily available source of funds to finance its investment activities (which is not dependent upon portfolio dispositions or other capital raising means). Purchasing on margin allows for lower upfront acquisition costs but is subject to associated interest expenses. Interest is calculated on the daily outstanding balance, compounded monthly, at the broker's applicable designated rate in effect from time to time, depending on the amount of margin borrowing outstanding at that time. Interest rates ranging from 5.95% to 7.45% were applied to the Company's margin borrowing during the reporting period.

If Mega is required to repay its margin borrowings at a time when its cash reserves and/or the proceeds from the sale of its marketable securities are insufficient to cover the margin, it could dispose of a portion of its other investments to satisfy the shortfall. As at March 31, 2025, the aggregate fair value of the Company's investments equaled $144,968 details of which are provided later in this MD&A in the section entitled "Investment Portfolio".

During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received $902 of cash on its operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, amounts payable and other liabilities increased by $219 and due to broker increased by $474.

During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received proceeds of $709 from the exercise of stock options previously issued by Mega offset by net lease payments of $60.

During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company acquired additional investment in Toro for aggregate cost of $1,329.

While Mega can choose to sell investments to generate funds required to settle its obligations, it intends to hold its investments until it is advantageous to sell in accordance with its investment strategy, unless working capital needs require dispositions.

The Company's use of cash is currently and is expected to continue to be focused on two principal areas -the funding of its general and administrative expenditures and its investment activities. Investing activities include the cash components of the cost of acquiring and exploring the Company's mineral properties. For the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2026, corporate head office costs are estimated to average $450 per quarter for salaries, office administration, consulting fees, travel and promotion, professional fees and reporting issuer costs.

The Company has material commitments and obligations for cash resources set out below (which exclude discretionary acquisition and exploration expenses pursuant to various agreements). Failure to meet exploration obligations could lead to termination/dilution of the Company's underlying interests.

  1. Obligations on mineral properties pertain to minimum expenditures required to be incurred to maintain those claims/tenements in Australia.

  2. The Company is subject to management contracts with certain executive officers that provide for payments under circumstances involving a change of control of Mega or termination of the officer's services. As at March 31, 2025, these contracts require that additional payments of approximately

    $2,333 be made upon the occurrence of a change of control. The minimum commitment upon termination of these contracts is approximately $1,131. A bonus would also become payable to the Chief Executive Officer in these circumstances (see (c) below). As a triggering event has not taken place, the contingent payments have not been reflected in the consolidated statements.

  3. The Company's Chief Executive Officer's compensation package includes a discretionary bonus that is dependent upon the excess of cash proceeds on disposition of the original NexGen investment net of acquisition and disposition costs and taxes. The entitlement is payable at the discretion of the board of directors up to a maximum amount equal to 5% of the net cash proceeds, provided that if a change of control of the Company or termination of the Chief Executive Officer's services occurs, a 5% bonus will be payable based upon the expected proceeds net of taxes of the investment applicable at the time. Fifty percent of the bonus may be settled in common shares of the Company (also at the discretion of the board and subject to regulatory approval).

    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

    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 Mega.

    (1) Our Toro investment is equity-accounted for in our consolidated financial statements at $835, as at March 31, 2025 and $nil as at September 30, 2024, in accordance with IFRS. See "Equity Investment" below for a discussion of the accounting. The fair values of the position provided above are calculated in the same manner as the other securities in the portfolio, using the applicable closing bid price of the shares, and are included for comparative purposes.

    (2) In March 2025, IsoEnergy Ltd. shares were consolidated on 4 pre-consolidation shares to 1 post consolidation share basis.

    (3) Represents securities of an aggregate of 24 issuers.

    (4) Represents securities of an aggregate of 18 issuers.

    Equity investments

    In November 2013, Mega acquired 415 million ordinary shares of Toro as consideration for the sale of its Lake Maitland properties and certain associated rights and assets. The shares were valued at $34,337 upon acquisition and represented approximately 28.00% of Toro's outstanding shares. Mega's original ownership interest in Toro has decreased from time to time since then as a result of share dispositions by the Company and dilution following share issuances by Toro.

    During the year ended September 30, 2024, Toro shares were consolidated on the basis of 50 pre-consolidation shares for one post-consolidation share. In January 2024, Toro completed a private placement of a total of 23,653,847 shares reducing Mega's equity interest. In October 2024, the Company acquired an additional 6,000,000 shares of Toro for $1,329, increasing Mega's holdings of Toro's shares to 15,226,256, representing an equity interest of 12.66% in the company (September 30, 2024 - 7.67%).

    The Company is considered to have significant influence over Toro due to the percentage of its equity interest in Toro and two of its officers being directors of Toro's, one of which is also an officer of Toro. Accordingly, Mega accounts for its investment in Toro using the equity method.

    Under the equity method, the Company's investments are initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amounts are increased or decreased to recognize the Company's share of the profit or loss and impairment losses or reversals after the date of acquisition. As at March 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the equity investment was $835 (September 30, 2024 - $nil) and the Company determined that there were no indicators of impairment reversal on the equity investment in Toro.

    The Company's share of Toro's losses in excess of the carrying value of the Toro investment are only recognized to the extent that Mega has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of Toro. The Company recognized $494 of losses for the six months ended March 31, 2025 (six months ended March 31, 2024 - $nil).

    The fair value of the equity investment in Toro is $2,595 as at March 31, 2025 (September 30, 2024 - $2,024) based on the applicable closing share price. Such fair value is categorized as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

    Long-term investment

    Mega holds 19,476,265 shares of NexGen as at March 31, 2025 (September 30, 2024 - 19,476,265). The change in the investment in NexGen is detailed as follows:

    The fair value of the Company's NexGen investment can be vulnerable to market fluctuations during periods of significant broader market volatility or volatility experienced by the uranium sector, in addition to company-specific factors, all of which factors are beyond the Company's control.

    Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

    The preparation of the interim consolidated statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities and the accompanying note disclosures at the date of the interim consolidated statements. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

    However, actual outcomes may differ from these estimates. The information about significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses are discussed below:

    Judgments
    1. Significant influence:

      Management determines its ability to exercise significant influence over an investment in shares of other companies by looking at its percentage interest and other qualitative factors including but not limited to its voting rights, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making processes, material transactions between the Company and the associate, managerial personnel in common, provision of essential technical information and operating involvement.

    2. Impairment of equity investment:

At the end of each financial reporting period, the Company's management assesses whether there are indications of impairment or impairment reversal of the Company's equity investment in Toro. The evaluation of external and internal sources of information to determine whether there is an indicator of impairment or, in particular, an impairment reversal involves significant management judgment, including in the case of a potential impairment reversal an assessment of whether there has been a sustained improvement in the service potential of the investment. To the extent that there is such an indicator, the recoverable amount of the Company's equity investment in Toro is estimated based on the applicable publicly available closing share price. The amount of any impairment reversal is limited to the difference between the current carrying amount and the amount that would have been the carrying amount had the earlier impairment not been recognized.

Estimates
  1. Share-based payments:

    The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate stock-based compensation expense. The Black-Scholes model requires nine key inputs to determine a value for an option: risk-free interest rate, exercise price, market price at date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life and expected volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates which involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of the Company's control.

  2. Deferred tax assets and liabilities:

    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company computes deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of taxes that are based on taxable profit. Taxable profit is understood to be a net, rather than gross, taxable amount that gives effect to both revenues and expenses. Taxable profit will often differ from accounting profit and management may need to exercise judgment to determine whether some taxes are income taxes (subject to deferred tax accounting) or operating expenses.

    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The determination of the ability of the Company to utilize tax loss carryforwards to offset deferred tax liabilities requires management to exercise judgment and make certain assumptions about the future performance of the Company. Management is required to assess whether it is "probable" that the Company will benefit from these prior losses and other deferred tax assets. Changes in economic conditions, commodity prices and other factors could result in revisions to the estimates of the benefits to be realized or the timing of utilizing the losses.

    Financial Instruments

    Part of Mega's business includes the acquisition and management of securities of public and private issuers. These and other assets and certain liabilities constitute financial instruments. The use of financial instruments can expose the Company to several risks, including interest rate, foreign exchange and market risks. A discussion of the Company's use of financial instruments and their associated risks is provided below:

    1. Liquidity risk:

      Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company's liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company's access to the capital markets is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company, or if the value of the Company's investments decline, resulting in lower proceeds on dispositions and losses upon dispositions. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities and proceeds from disposition of its marketable securities and long-term investments in addition to interest income earned on its investments.

      From time to time, the Company uses varying levels of financial leverage (or "margin") to purchase investments. Trading on margin allows the Company to borrow part of the purchase price of the investments (using marginable investments as collateral) rather than pay for them in full. Buying on

      margin allows the Company to actively and opportunistically manage its investment portfolio, with lower upfront capital requirements.

      However, if the market moves against the Company's positions and the Company's investments decline in value, the Company may be required to provide additional funds to its broker that could be substantial. Given the nature of the Company's business, the Company may not have sufficient cash on hand to meet margin calls and may be required to liquidate investments prematurely and/or at a loss, in order to generate funds needed to satisfy the Company's obligations. Furthermore, if the Company is unable to provide the necessary funds within the time required, the Company's marginable investments may be involuntarily liquidated at a loss by its broker to meet the obligations (and the Company may still be required to make up any additional shortfall in funds thereafter).

      The Company reviews the amount of margin available on a daily basis. The Company holds investments that can be converted into cash when required.

      As at March 31, 2025, under Mega's current arrangement with its broker, the Company had a maximum amount of available margin of $18,000, of which it had utilized $15,568.

      The Company has working capital as at March 31, 2025 of $959. The funds are available as needed to fund the Company's ongoing expenditures. The Company regularly evaluates these holdings to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to the Company. If additional financing is raised through the issuance of shares from the treasury of the Company, control of the Company may change and shareholders may suffer additional dilution. If adequate financing is not available, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more exploration activities of its interests. All of the Company's trade liabilities are due within the next 12 months.

    2. Market risk:

      Market risk is the risk that the fair value of or future cash flows from the Company's financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The value of the financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity and commodity prices. In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of its investments in publicly traded companies and marketable securities. During periods of significant broader market volatility or volatility experienced by the resource/commodity markets, the value of the Company's investment portfolio can be vulnerable to market fluctuations.

      The following table shows the estimated sensitivity of the Company's after-tax net income (loss) for the period ended March 31, 2025 from a change in the closing bid price of the Company's investments in marketable securities with all other variables held constant as at March 31, 2025:

      (1,217)

    3. Interest rate risk:

      Interest rate risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could have on the Company's income and liabilities. The Company has due to broker that bears a fluctuating interest rate. Due to broker can be repaid by the Company at any time, without notice or penalty, which provides the Company with some ability to manage and mitigate its interest rate risk. The Company does not hedge against any interest rate risk.

      The following table shows the estimated sensitivity of the Company's net after-tax income (loss) for the period ended March 31, 2025 from a change in the interest rate on the average interest risk liabilities with all other variables held constant as at March 31, 2025:

    4. Currency risk:

      Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows from the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations as it presently holds funds in Australian dollars and a significant amount of its costs and liabilities are denominated in Australian and other currencies. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to hedge this exposure.

      The following table shows the estimated sensitivity of the Company's net after-tax income (loss) for the period ended March 31, 2025 from a change in all foreign currencies (Australian dollars, and U.S. dollars) with all other variables held constant as at March 31, 2025:

      Percentage of change in closing exchange rate

    5. Credit risk:

      Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company has its cash and cash equivalents deposited with highly rated financial institutions. Other credit risk is limited to cash, restricted cash and trade receivables in the ordinary course of business. The balance of trade receivables owed to the Company in the ordinary course of business is not significant.

    6. Concentration risks:

      The Company is exposed to concentration risks as its investment portfolio is concentrated primarily in NexGen with an asset value of $124,648 as at March 31, 2025 and $170,612 as September 30, 2024 and poses the risk that its fair value can decrease significantly, which could impact the Company's available cash resources, and adversely affect the Company's after-tax net income (loss).

      The following table shows the estimated sensitivity of the Company's after-tax net income (loss) for the period ended March 31, 2025 from a change in the closing bid price of the Company's investment in NexGen with all other variables held constant as at March 31, 2025:

    7. Fair value:

Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

The consolidated statements of financial position carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, amounts payable and other liabilities and due to broker approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Marketable securities and long-term investments in public companies are fair valued using the bid price on the closing date for the underlying investment. The fair value of marketable securities in private companies is determined from recently completed equity financings.

The Company does not fair value its investment in Toro as it is held as an equity investment.

The Company's objectives when managing capital are:

  1. To maintain the necessary financing to complete exploration and development of its properties;

  2. To realize proceeds from sales of one or more of its properties;

  3. To maximize the income it receives from cash and cash equivalents without significantly increasing the principal at risk by making investments in high-credit-quality issuers; and

  4. To maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable level of risk.

    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. The Company maintains or adjusts its capital level to enable it to meet its objectives by:

    • Realizing proceeds from the disposition of its investments;

    • Utilizing or reducing leverage in the form of margin (due to broker);

    • Raising capital through equity financings; and

    • Reviewing and reducing capital spending on mineral properties when necessary.

The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a regulator. When using margin for its investing activities, however, the Company is subject to the margin requirements applicable thereto, which can require (at any time and from time to time) that the Company provide additional funds to its brokers depending on the then-value of its investments purchased on margin. To date, the Company has not declared any cash dividends to its shareholders. The Company's management is responsible for the management of capital and reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis through the preparation of annual expenditure budgets, which are updated regularly to take into account factors such as successful financings to fund activities, changes in property holdings and related obligations and exploration activities and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration and development stage; as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned activities, the Company will be required to raise additional funding.

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended March 31, 2025.
