NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Nature of operations
Northisle Copper and Gold Inc. (together with its subsidiary, "Northisle" or the "Company") is a Canadian exploration stage company which is focused on the exploration and development of its North Island Project on Vancouver Island.
The Company is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Its head office is located at 1400 - 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.
The nature of the Company's operations requires significant expenditures for the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of mineral properties. To date, the Company has not generated any revenue from mining operations and is considered to be in the exploration stage. The Company's operations have been primarily funded from equity financing. The Company will continue to require additional funding to maintain its ongoing exploration and evaluation programs, property maintenance payments, and operations.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
-
Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards"), as applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes to the consolidated financial statements required by IFRS Accounting Standards for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
These financial statements were approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on August 20, 2025.
-
Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements required management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and other disclosures in these consolidated financial statements. Estimates and the underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.
Critical estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Critical estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include, among others,
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
the impairment of carrying values of equipment and mineral property interests, and the determination of realizable amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Critical accounting judgments are judgments about the application of accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments. Critical accounting judgments include the expected economic lives of equipment and the identification of potential indicators of impairment for exploration and evaluation assets.
At each reporting period, management applies judgment in assessing whether there are any indicators of impairment relating to mineral property interests. If any such indicator exists, then an impairment test is performed by management. Indicators of impairment may include (i) the period during which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the year or will expire in the near future; (ii) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; (iii) sufficient data exists to support that extracting the resources will not be technically feasible or commercially viable; and (iv) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. As at June 30, 2025, management identified no impairment indicators and consequently, impairment testing was not required.
-
Consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% controlled subsidiary, North Island Mining Corp. (collectively, the "Company"). Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Changes during the period -
JUNE 30, 2025 10,016,000The North Island Copper Gold Project (the "Project") consists of a contiguous block of mineral claims located on northern Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. The claims include the Hushamu, Red Dog and Northwest Expo copper gold porphyry deposits, as well as numerous additional identified porphyry exploration targets and occurrences.
Certain claims (historically known as the Expo claims) are subject to a 10% net profits interest royalty currently held by Royal Gold, Inc. Should a production decision be made on the Expo claims, the Company is required to make a cash payment of $1,000,000 to Sirit Inc., or its successors, within 60 days of the production decision.
Certain other claims underlying the Project are known as the Apple Bay claims. Should a production decision be made regarding the Apple Bay claims, the Company is required to pay $800,000 in cash or in shares to Electra Gold Ltd., or its successors ("Electra"). The payment method is at the election of the Company. Electra maintains a limited right to explore the Apple Bay claims for non-metallic minerals subject to certain conditions including approval by Northisle.
Claims underlying the Red Dog deposit are subject to a combined 3% net smelter return royalty, of which up to 2% can be repurchased at the option of the Company at any time for a cash payment of US$1,000,000 for each 1% repurchased.

FLOW-THROUGH PREMIUM LIABILITY
The flow-through premium liability balance as at June 30, 2025 of $1,357,028 (December 31, 2024 -
$2,311,412) arose in connection with the flow-through share offering the Company completed on December 5, 2024. The reported amount is the remaining balance of the premium from issuing the flow-through shares. The flow-through premium is recognized in the statement of loss based on the amount of qualifying flow-through expenditures incurred by the Company.
The Company is committed to incurring on or before December 31, 2025, qualifying Canadian exploration expenses as defined under the Income Tax Act, Canada ("Qualifying CEE") in the amount of $7,000,056 with respect to the flow-through share financing completed on December 5, 2024. None of the Qualifying CEE will be available to the Company for future deduction from taxable income. As at June 30, 2025, the Company has remaining commitment to incur Qualifying CEE of $4,058,519.
On December 21, 2023, the Company completed a flow-through share financing and recorded a flow-through liability of $652,206 and committed to incur Qualifying CEE in the amount of $5,996,886. As at June 30, 2025, the Company had incurred all committed expenditures and no longer had a flow-through premium liability associated with this flow-through share financing.
Accordingly, the Company recognized a flow-through premium recovery of $817,054 and $954,384 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 respectively ($145,691 and $196,328 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively)

LEASE LIABILITY
On May 15, 2024, the Company entered into vehicle lease agreements for three pickup trucks with a 48-month term and total monthly payments of $4,952 for the 48-month term. The vehicle lease agreements have an aggregate purchase option of $125,000 at the conclusion of the 48-month term.
At the date of recognition, the lease liability was measured at the present value of the lease payments that were not paid as at that date. The lease payments are discounted using an annual interest rate of 8.99%, which is the contracted rate applicable to the lease agreement. The continuity of the lease liability is presented in the table below.

Restricted Share Units
The Company granted restricted share units ("RSUs") in accordance with the share unit plan approved at the Company's 2021 shareholders meeting. These RSUs vest in three equal tranches: Tranche one
- on completion of 12 months from grant date, Tranche two - on completion of twenty-four months from the grant date and Tranche three - on completion of thirty-six months from grant date.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company is a mineral exploration and development company focusing on advancing the North Island Project. Its principal source of funds is the issuance of securities. The Company considers capital to be equity attributable to common shareholders, comprised of share capital, contributed surplus, and deficit. It is the Company's objective to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to explore and develop its projects.
The Company manages its capital structure based on the funds available for its operations and makes adjustments for changes in economic conditions, capital markets and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain its objectives, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, seek debt financing, acquire or dispose of assets or change the timing of its planned exploration and development projects. There is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.
The Company monitors its cash position on a regular basis to determine whether sufficient funds are available to meet its short-term and long-term corporate objectives.
There has been no change in the Company's capital management practices during the period. The Company does not pay dividends. Neither the Company nor its subsidiary is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company has exposure to liquidity and credit risk from the use of financial instruments. Financial instruments consist of cash, certain other assets, reclamation bonds and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
-
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company uses cash forecasts to ensure that there is sufficient cash on hand to meet short-term business requirements. The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities are all due in the short term. Cash is invested in highly liquid investments which are available to discharge obligations when they come due. The Company does not maintain a line of credit.
-
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and reclamation deposits. These financial instruments are at risk to the extent that the institutions issuing or holding them cannot redeem amounts when they are due or requested. To limit its credit risk, the Company uses a restrictive investment policy. It deposits cash and cash equivalents in Canadian chartered banks as well as guaranteed investment certificates from Canadian chartered banks with a credit rating of R-1 (high) or equivalent. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.

On August 8, 2025, the Company completed a brokered and non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds totaling $39.5 million. Gross proceeds from the brokered listed issuer financing (LIFE) private placement offering were approximately $34.5m and gross proceeds from the non-brokered private placement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. ("Wheaton") were approximately $5m. The Brokered Offering consisted of (i) 9,338,000 common shares of the Company that qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "CFT Shares") issued at a price of $1.6065 per CFT Share, and (ii) 18,573,086 common shares (the "Non-FT Shares", and together with the CFT Shares, the "Brokered Shares"), issued at a price of $1.05 per Non-FT Share, which includes 4,286,086 Non-FT Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Agents' over-allotment option. The Brokered Offering was conducted by a syndicate of agents led by Paradigm Capital Inc. as lead agent and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of agents including First Nations Financial Markets Limited Partnership, Red Cloud Securities Inc., Ventum Financial Corp., and Raymond James Ltd. (collectively, the "Agents"). The Agents received a cash commission of $1,874,197 in respect of the Brokered Offering. The Agents' commission was comprised of 6% of gross proceeds with the exception of subscribers on a president's list provided by the Company, to which a 2% commission was applied.
Concurrent to the Brokered Offering, the Company has closed the Non-Brokered Offering which comprised of 4,762,000 common shares of the Company (the "Non-Brokered Shares") at a price of $1.05 per Non-Brokered Share for gross proceeds of approximately $5 million. The Non-Brokered Shares sold under the Non-Brokered Offering are subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.
In connection with the Non-Brokered Offering, Wheaton has entered into a right of first refusal agreement (the "Agreement") with Northisle pursuant to which Wheaton has paid Northisle $10,000 and has been granted a right of first refusal in respect of precious metal streams or royalties on selected claims from the North Island Project plus a one kilometre area of interest surrounding the selected claims.
