1. Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:

   The basic net (loss) income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common issued shares less the weighted average number of shares repurchased and held in treasury to derive the weighted average number of issued and outstanding shares as follows:

   Three months ended Six months ended

   	February 28,	February 28,	February 28,	February 28,
   	2026	2025	2026	2025
   Weighted average number of
   issued shares	51,117,741	49,040,185	50,663,839	48,327,700
   Weighted average number of shares issued and held in treasury	96,365	3,297	58,868	375
   Weighted average number of
   issued and outstanding shares	51,021,376	49,036,888	50,604,971	48,327,325

   Diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026, was calculated using the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of 2,248,063 and 2,350,900 stock options, respectively.

   Diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended February 28, 2025, does not include the effects of stock options, as the effects would be anti-dilutive.

2. Financial instruments and risk management:

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 February 28, 2026, and August 31, 2025:

February 28, August 31,

2026 2025

Estimated fair value through profit and loss:

Investments $ 629,310 $ 402,260

Amortized cost:

As at February 28, 2026, 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:

During the six months ended February 28, 2026, 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 shares. As of 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.

The movement in Level 3 investments for the six months ended February 28, 2026, consists of the following:

The movement in Level 3 investments for the year ended August 31, 2025, consists of the following:

The total unrealized gain recognized in Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the six months ended February 28, 2026, in respect of Level 3 investments in convertible debentures and common shares, was $25,629 (February 28, 2025 -

$3,542).

The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if the estimated share price were higher (lower), the estimated volatility was higher (lower), or the credit spread or risk-free rate were lower (higher). A five-percentage point increase or decrease in the estimated share price, volatility, credit spread or risk-free rate would have the following impact on the estimated fair value at February 28, 2026 and August 31, 2025:

February 28, 2026 August 31, 2025

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.

1. Financial instruments and risk management (continued):

   1. 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 investing only in and providing loans to investees with which it has detailed knowledge of their operations and business strategy. The Company has convertible debentures invested in seven companies at February 28, 2026, consisting of 42% NexGen, 31% Moxico, 9% ATHA, 7% Contango, and 11% others

      (August 31, 2025 - seven companies: 34% NexGen; 24% Gold Royalty; 24% Moxico;

      7% Contango; and 11% others).

   2. 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.

      The Company's cash position as at February 28, 2026, was $1,275 (August 31, 2025 -

      $3,076), and the Company has a negative working capital of $48,561 (August 31, 2025 -negative $24,271). The negative working capital is mainly 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 February 28, 2026, the Company had no significant contractual obligations other than those included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, borrowings, and lease liabilities.

      11. Financial instruments and risk management (continued):

   3. 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 February 28, 2026, 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 the United States Federal Funds Effective Overnight Rate.

The Company has assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company's exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly from 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, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and lease liabilities that are denominated in Canadian (C$); Hong Kong ("HK$"); Australian ("A$") dollars; and British Pounds ("GBP").

The United States dollar equivalent of assets (liabilities) denominated in foreign currencies are as follows:

1. Financial instruments and risk management (continued):

   1. Interest and foreign exchange risk (continued):

      August 31, 2025	C$	GBP	HK$	A$	Total
      Cash	$ 635	$ -	$ 19	$ 1,444	$ 2,098
      Prepayments and deposits	1	-	56	-	57
      Receivables	-	-	-	2	2
      Investments	105,326	1,426	-	23,747	130,499
      Accounts payable and
      accrued liabilities	(128)	(36)	(64)	-	(228)
      Lease liabilities	-	-	(474)	-	(474)
      Net assets (liabilities)	$ 105,834	$ 1,390	$ (463)	$ 25,193	$ 131,954

      Based on the above net exposure as at February 28, 2026, 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 $1,647 (August 31, 2025 - $2,600) in the Company's net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income.

   2. Market price risk:

      Market price risk is the risk that the estimated fair value of an investment measured at FVTPL will fluctuate due to changes in market prices (excluding those arising from foreign currency or interest rate risk). The Company's investments at the 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 $28,208 and a decrease of approximately $28,462, respectively, in the value of investments and unrealized gain for the three months ended February 28, 2026 (August 31, 2025 - increase of approximately

      $16,777 and decrease of approximately $17,500).

2. 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:

   1. to maintain the Company's ability to make new investments by allowing it to respond to economic changes and/or the marketplace;

   2. to maintain growth of shareholders' equity; and

   3. 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.

3. Supplemental disclosure with respect to cash flows:

   Significant non-cash transactions in the six months ended February 28, 2026, and February 28, 2025, were:

   Six Months Ended

   	February 28,	February 28,

   Transfer from retained earnings to share capital for shares

   Issued for options exercised (note 9(a)) 1,567 1,115

4. 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.

5. Subsequent events:

Subsequent to the balance sheet date and up to the date of approval of these financial statements, the Company purchased 113,800 common shares under its existing NCIB for a total consideration of $1,217, all of which are held in treasury. The share repurchases have no impact on the statements of financial position as at the balance sheet date, as they represent transactions that occurred after the reporting period.
