The Company provides disclosures that enable users to evaluate (a) the significance of financial instruments for the entity's financial position and performance; and (b) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the year and at the date of the Statement of Financial Position, and how the entity manages these risks.
The following table summarizes the carrying value of financial assets and liabilities of the Company as at November 30, 2025, and August 31, 2025:
November 30, 2025 | August 31, 2025 | |

Financial instruments and risk management (continued):
As at November 30, 2025, and August 31, 2025, financial instruments that are not measured at estimated fair value on the balance sheet are represented by cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, borrowings and lease liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates the carrying value due to their short-term nature and the fair values are estimated using Level 2 inputs.
Financial instruments that are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value can be classified in a hierarchy that is based on the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair value:
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).
Level 3 financial instruments consist of convertible debentures issued by unlisted companies and common shares issued by unlisted companies. The Company uses other third-party evidence and relevant valuation techniques to estimate the share price and uses quoted market prices for similar instruments to derive volatility and credit spread to value these Level 3 investments.
The Company's financial assets measured at FVTPL are as follows:
November 30, 2025 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments at estimated fair value | $ 224,270 | $ 150,543 | $ 94,818 |
August 31, 2025 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments at estimated fair value | $ 107,678 | $ 227,227 | $ 67,355 |
During the three months ended November 30, 2025 there were asset transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 of $65,353 due to the conversion of debentures into common shares and $19,053 due to the finalization of a corporate reorganization. During the year ended August 31, 2025 there were asset transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 of $20,795 due to the conversion of debentures into common share. As at August 31, 2025, investments of $23,283 were included in Level 2 which were transferred from Level 1 as a result of a corporate reorganization.

Financial instruments and risk management (continued):
Financial risks:
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
Credit risk;
Liquidity risk;
Interest and foreign exchange risk; and
Market price risk.
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets, including cash and investments. The Company has limited exposure to credit risk related to cash, as it only deposits its cash with high credit quality financial institutions, which are available on demand. The Company's equity investments are settled and paid for upon delivery using an approved broker. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is made once the broker has received payment and payment on a purchase is received by the broker. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligations. The Company's credit risk related to convertible debentures is associated with the risk that these third parties will not perform their underlying obligations. The Company mitigates its credit risk by only investing and providing loans where they have a detailed knowledge of the investee's operations and business strategy. The Company has convertible debentures invested in six companies at November 30, 2025, that were made up of 42% NexGen; 38% Moxico; 8% Contango, and 12% others (August 31, 2025 - seven companies 34% NexGen; 24% Gold Royalty; 24% Moxico; 7% Contango;
and 11% others).
Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due. The Company has ensured, as far as reasonably possible, it will have sufficient working capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Company's holdings of cash. Historically, the Company's primary source of financing has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, through private placements. The Company has also obtained liquidity through arranging secured bank and other margin loans.
-
Financial instruments and risk management (continued):
Liquidity risk (continued):
The Company's cash position as at November 30, 2025, was $8,790 (August 31, 2025 -
$3,076) and the Company's has a negative working capital of $26,190 (August 31, 2025 -negative $24,271). The negative working capital is due to a secured margin loan with no fixed repayment terms. The loan is supported and over-collateralized by marketable securities with sufficient liquidity to repay the loan if required.
The Company's access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity, bank or other financing. As of November 30, 2025, the Company had no significant contractual obligations other than those included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, borrowings and lease liabilities.
Interest and foreign exchange risk:
The Company is subject to normal risks including fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. While the Company manages its operations in order to minimize exposure to these risks, it has not entered into any derivatives or contracts to hedge or otherwise mitigate this exposure.
At November 30, 2025, the Company is exposed to limited interest rate risk as it earns relatively low interest on its cash balance due to modest interest rates on United States dollars, Canadian dollars ("C$") and Australian dollars (A$). The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings arising from movements in United States Federal Funds Effective Overnight Rate.
The Company has assets and liabilities which are denominated foreign currencies. The Company's exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currency fluctuations against the United States dollar functional currency.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, prepayments and deposits, investments, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities and lease liabilities that are denominated in Canadian (C$); Hong Kong ("HK$"); Australian ("A$") dollars; and British Pounds ("GBP").

Based on the above net exposure as at November 30, 2025, and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 2% depreciation or appreciation of the C$, HK$, A$ and GBP against the United States dollar would result in an increase or decrease of approximately

Market price risk is the risk that the estimated fair value of an investment measured at FVTPL will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from foreign currency risk or interest rate risk). The Company's investments at estimated fair value of public entities are subject to price risk. A 5% increase and a 5% decrease in the value of the individual equity market prices in public entities, or individual equity prices in listed and unlisted entities, which are used as equivalent equity instruments for the valuation of non-traded investments, would result in an increase of approximately $22,468 and a decrease of approximately $18,611, respectively, in the value of investments and unrealized gain for the three months ended November 30, 2025 (August 31, 2025 - increase of approximately $16,777 and decrease of approximately $17,500).

Capital management:
The Company considers the items in shareholders' equity as capital. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its future liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long-term.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company's objectives when managing capital are:
to maintain the Company's ability to make new investments by allowing it to respond to
economic changes and/or the marketplace;
to maintain growth of shareholders' equity; and
to continue taking a conservative approach towards financial leverage and management of financial risks.
The Company reviews its capital structure on an on-going basis and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its underlying investments. The Company has adjusted or maintained its level of capital by raising additional capital through equity financings. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

- Segmented information:
An operating segment is defined as a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company's executive management, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company has determined that it currently has one operating segment, being the selection, acquisition, and management of investments. The Company's corporate head office incurs nominal costs that are incidental to the activities of the Company and therefore does not meet the definition of an operating segment.
