(the "Company") is pursuing opportunities related to exploration of mineral resource properties. The Company was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on September 20, 2011, and its common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol RAK. The address of the Company's corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 1000, 1111 Melville Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 3V6, Canada. BASIS OF PREPARATION These condensed interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting under IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual financial statements of the Company. These condensed interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Basis of Measurement These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments carried at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The presentation and functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the condensed interim financial statements are disclosed in Note 3. Ability to Continue as a Going Concern These financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Realization values may be substantially different from the carrying values shown and these financial statements do not give effect to 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. At June 30, 2025, the Company has not yet achieved profitable operations, has an accumulated deficit of $19,353,449 (December 31, 2024: $18,111,986) since inception, and is expected to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which raise significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will periodically have to raise additional financing in order to acquire and conduct work programs on mineral properties and meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due. While the Company has been successful in securing funding in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in profit or loss in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both. The key areas of judgment applied in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows: Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. The application of the Company's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company. Assets or CGUs are evaluated at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. The Company considers both internal and external sources of information when making the assessment of whether there are indications of impairment for the Company's exploration and evaluation assets. In respect of costs incurred for its investment in exploration and evaluation assets, management has determined the acquisition costs that have been capitalized may not be economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit, including access to financing to further exploration and development, geologic and metallurgic information, economics assessment/studies, accessible facilities, and existing permits. Although the Company has taken steps to identify any decommissioning liabilities related to mineral properties in which it has an interest, there may be unidentified decommissioning liabilities present. The Company applies judgment in determining whether a lease contract contains an identified asset, whether they have the right to control the asset, and the lease term. The lease term is based on considering facts and circumstances, both qualitative and quantitative, that can create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options. Management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option. The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its operating expenditures, meet its liabilities for the subsequent year, and to fund planned contractual exploration programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experiences and other factors including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key estimates applied in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows: Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility and options expected life. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's stock options. (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (cont'd) Key estimates (cont'd) The Company uses estimation in determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure a lease liability. Where the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the discount rate of the lease obligations is estimated using a discount rate similar to the Company's specific borrowing rate. CASH Cash at banks is held in interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing accounts. As at June 30, 2025, the Company's cash in hand totaled $10,012,587 (December 31, 2024: $3,264,346), of which $3,511,655 (December 31, 2024: $1,673,034) is reserved for flow-through eligible activities during the 2025 and 2026 fiscal years (Note 10). EQUITY INVESTMENTS As of June 30, 2025, equity investments consisted of 18,750 common shares of Bronco Resources Corp. ("Bronco"), a public company, and 200,000 common shares of Voyager Gold Corp. ("Voyager"), a private company with a common director. The private company shares were initially measured at fair value and subsequently written down to $1. As at June 30, 2025, the carrying amount for the equity investments was $657 (December 31, 2024: $2,439). During the period ended June 30, 2025, there was a decrease in fair value of the Bronco shares by $1,782 (2024: increase in fair value of $938). This amount was recorded as a fair value loss in other comprehensive income (loss).

(An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (cont'd) Fair Value of Options Issued During the Period The weighted average fair value at grant date of 1,890,000 options granted during the period ended June 30, 2025 was $0.21 per option. The fair value at grant date of 140,000 options granted during the period ended June 30, 2024 was $0.10 per option. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at June 30, 2025 is 8.20 years (December 31, 2024: 7.00 years). During the period ended June 30, 2025, the weighted average share price on the day the options were exercised was $0.23. No options were exercised during the period ended June 30, 2024. Options Issued to Employees The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. Options Issued to Non-Employees Options issued to non-employees are measured based on the fair value of the goods or services received at the date of receiving those goods or services. If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be estimated reliably, the options are measured by determining the fair value of the options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average model inputs for options granted during the period ended June 30, 2025 included a risk-free interest rate of 3.05%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 105% and expected life of ten years. The model inputs for options granted during the period ended June 30, 2024 included a risk-free interest rate of 3.34%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 100% and expected life of ten years. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information. The risk-free rate of return is the yield on a zero-coupon Canadian Treasury Bill of a term consistent with the assumed option life. The expected average option term is the average expected period to exercise, based on the historical activity patterns for each individually vesting tranche. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Expenses Arising from Share-based Payments Transactions Total expenses arising from the share-based payment transactions related to the granting of stock options and recognized as part of share-based payments expense during the period ended June 30, 2025 was $394,354 (2024: $13,691). As of June 30, 2025, there were no unrecognized costs related to share-based payment awards.

This note describes the Company's objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these condensed interim financial statements. General Objectives, Policies and Processes The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company's risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company's management. The Board of Directors receives periodic reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below. Market Risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market prices affecting the Company are comprised of the following types of risk: interest rate risk and equity price risk. The Company is not exposed to the risk related to the fluctuation of foreign currency rates. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any borrowings. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash held with chartered Canadian financial institutions. The Company considers this risk to not be significant. Equity Price Risk Equity price risk is the uncertainty associated with the valuation of assets arising from changes in equity markets. The Company's equity investments are exposed to equity price risk due to the potentially volatile and speculative nature of the businesses in which the equity investments are held. The common shares held in Bronco and Voyager are monitored by management with decisions on sale taken at Board level. A 10% change in fair value of the shares would result in a $65 increase or decrease in comprehensive loss. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and equity investments. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with chartered Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not have cash or equity investments that are invested in asset-based commercial paper. (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. At June 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $9,413,508 (December 31, 2024: $2,921,041). All of the Company's financial liabilities, with the exception of a flow-through and Part XII.6 tax liabilities (Note 10) and lease liabilities (Notes 9 and 14), have contractual maturities of less than 45 days and are subject to normal trade terms. Determination of Fair value Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. All financial instruments at June 30, 2025 are carried at amortized cost, apart from the equity investment in a public company with shares in an active market of $656 (December 31, 2024: $2,438), which is carried at fair value. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. The statement of financial position carrying amounts for cash, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. Due to the use of subjective judgments and uncertainties in the determination of fair values these values should not be interpreted as being realizable in an immediate settlement of the financial instruments. Fair Value Hierarchy Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices 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). The equity investment in Bronco is based on a quoted price and is therefore considered to be Level 1. The equity investment in Voyager was recorded at fair value when it was received and assessed for impairment as at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. This investment is considered to be Level 3. (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 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 advance its mineral properties. The Company defines its capital as all components of equity. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares periodic budgets that are updated as necessary. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it to effectively support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for general administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing capital resources and aim to raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an on-going basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended June 30, 2025. The Company's investment policy is to hold cash in interest-bearing bank accounts and/or highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with maturities of one year or less and which can be liquidated at any time without penalties. The Company currently is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The Company expects its current capital resources to be sufficient to cover its existing flow-through expenditure commitment and cover corporate operating costs and other potential exploration and/or mineral property acquisition costs through the next twelve months. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the level of exploration activity and possible property acquisition opportunities. SEGMENTED REPORTING The Company is organized into business units based on mineral properties and has one reportable operating segment, being that of acquisition and exploration and evaluation activities. All of the Company's long-term assets and operations are in Canada. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the following events which have not been disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements have occurred: A total of 585,000 options with exercise prices ranging from $0.14 to $0.365 per share were exercised for gross proceeds of $139,500.

Business of the Company The Company is a Vancouver-based junior gold exploration company with projects in the Northwest Territories ("NWT") and Yukon, Canada. Since 2022, the Company has been consolidating an extensive land position in the eastern Tombstone Gold Belt, part of the Tintina Gold Province, that extends through the southeast Yukon and into the NWT. During the 2024 exploration season, the Company launched an aggressive program in the eastern portion of the Belt, resulting in the discovery of the BiTe showing on the Grad Property in the NWT. In July 2025, the Company commenced a maiden drill program at Grad. See "Property Review - Grad Property" below. Financing On April 23, 2025, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement financing to raise total gross proceeds of $2.99 million (the "Offering"). The Offering consisted of a $2,234,400 charity flow-through unit offering at a price of $0.21 per unit, and a $759,750 hard-dollar unit offering at a price of $0.15 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of a warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 for one year following the closing of the Offering. Management intends to use the proceeds from the Offering and from financings completed in 2024 for conducting exploration and drilling on the Company's Tombstone Gold Belt properties within the Selwyn Basin, for continuing investigations of additional mineral properties for acquisition, and for general working capital and corporate purposes. Property Review The Company's properties in the Tombstone Gold Belt are set out in the following location map: Following the significant intrusive-related gold discovery made by Snowline Gold Corp. at the Rogue project within the Tombstone Gold Belt, Yukon, the Company's team has used their historic experience in the district to identify similar geological settings to the east along the Yukon-NWT border. As a result of this work, the Company has acquired interests in several gold properties located in the Tombstone Gold Belt which lies within the Selwyn Basin and is prospective for Reduced Intrusion-related Gold Systems ("RIRGS"). In 2023, the Company completed exploration work, including a drill program, on its properties. The bulk of the 2023 program focused on the Astro Plutonic Complex which is comprised of the Astro West Project on the Yukon side of the border (formerly referred to as the HIT and SER properties) and the Astro East Project on the NWT side of the border (formerly referred to as the Astro property). In 2024, the Company completed further exploration and drilling of its properties, and conducted additional regional exploration in the NWT portion of the Belt. The regional exploration led to the discovery of significant RIRGS-style mineralization at the BiTe Zone and prompted the staking of the Grad Property. The focus for 2025 is drill-testing defined targets at the Grad Property. The Company is also conducting further regional exploration as it recognizes that the region around the Grad Property is very much underexplored for gold, particularly for its RIRGS potential. The Company's current property holdings are described below, and more detailed information is available on the Company's website. Tombstone Gold Belt Projects - Eastern Yukon and Western NWT Grad Property, NWT In the summer of 2024, the Company staked the Grad Property in NWT, totalling five claims covering approximately 5,525 hectares. The Company has added to the property in 2025, bringing it to nine claims covering approximately 8,625 hectares. The Company has identified this area as prospective for RIRGS deposits. In 2024, the Company completed a limited 10-day program on the Property consisting of prospecting, rock, stream sediment and talus-fine sampling, an airborne geophysical survey and a photogrammetry survey, with highly encouraging results. The Grad Property is centered on the North Nahanni Pluton, a Cretaceous-aged, Mayo Suite felsic intrusion in the eastern Tombstone Gold Belt in the NWT. The pluton measures 1.9 by 2.2 kilometres with a sizable, intensely altered, contact aureole expressed as hornfelsed and iron-stained gossanous sediments surrounding the intrusion. While conducting talus-fine sampling at the southern margin of the pluton, the Company identified a broad alteration zone with intense quartz-tourmaline and quartz-sulfide veining within the intrusive, the intensity of the veining shattering the intrusive body to almost a schistose appearance. Results of the sampling returned significant gold grades, up to 92 g/t Au, with many samples returning multi-gram gold. The gold mineralization is associated with bismuth, tellurium +/- tungsten confirming that this is a RIRGS. The discovery was named the BiTe Zone. Figure 1 - Photograph of the shattered North Nahanni Pluton: The BiTe Zone is defined by a talus-fine sample line that returned 550 metres with an average gold concentration in the samples of 1.06 g/t Au. Within that interval is a central core of 180 metres that averaged 3.68 g/t Au. Figure 2 - Photograph of BiTe Zone with talus-fine, rock and channel sample gold results: Rock sampling at the at BiTe in 2024 returned a number of multi-gram gold samples and a continuous chip channel that contained 1.8 g/t gold over 38 m. Follow-up sampling in early 2025 extended the zone westward where 5 samples returned 14.4, 17.6. 19.3, 22.3 and 45.5 g/t gold. The geochemical signature of the BiTe Zone is indicative of a robust RIRGS. The Au-Bi-Te-W metal assemblage is an important characteristic of RIRGS deposits1. The Bismuth concentration in rock samples is up to 2.17% from high-grade gold samples at BiTe (with 92.4 g/t Au, 1250 ppm Te, and 260 ppm W) and up to 2.98% from a sample collected 1.3 kilometres north of BiTe (with 2.8 g/t Au, 23 ppm Te, and 0.66% W). The results show a strong correlation of gold to tellurium and bismuth with correlation coefficients of 0.878 and 0.578, respectively. 1 Hart, C.J.R., 2007, Reduced intrusion-related gold systems, in Goodfellow, W.D., ed., Mineral deposits of Canada: A Synthesis of Major Deposit Types, District Metallogeny, the Evolution of Geological Provinces, and Exploration Methods: Geological Association of Canada, Mineral Deposits Division, Special Publication No. 5, p. 95-112. Figure 3 - Photograph of BiTe Zone with 2024 and 2025 grab and channel sample gold results: The cliff above BiTe is a steep face that rises 350 metres from the valley floor and exhibits many of the features observed at the BiTe Zone: abundant sheeted quartz-sulphide veining; intense fracture pattern; and strong iron oxide staining from the weathering of sulphide minerals. The photogrammetry image shows that the alteration and mineralizing system strikes for 1.3 kilometres to the north, where prospecting has returned a sample with 2.8 g/t Au, 2.98% Bi, 23 ppm Te and 0.66% W. Figure 4 - Plan view of the North Nahanni Pluton on the Grad Property with dimensions of the alteration and mineralizing system: 2025 Exploration and Drilling Program The Company's 2025 exploration program at the Grad property is focusing on drilling at the discovery outcrop at the base of the cliff, sampling the upper reaches of the cliff face on both sides of the ridge using a mountaineering geological team, and delineating the extent of the mineralized zone on the north side of the ridge with detailed structural mapping and channel sampling. The Grad property is fully permitted, with the issuance to the Company of a five-year Type A Land Use Permit from the Sahtu Land and Water Board. In mid-July 2025, the Company commenced a maiden diamond drill program at the BiTe Zone at base of the cliff. The initial plan was to drill 4,000 metres but has since been increased to 5,000 metres based on encouraging observations in the initial drill core and surface work that has extended the mineralized zone at the BiTe showing significantly to the west and at depth. As of August 20, 2025, over 3,406 metres have been drilled, testing an area of 500x300x550 metres. Eight holes have been completed and the 9thhole is underway. Highlights of the drilling and regional exploration to date are: The drill is presently on hole G25-009, with a target depth of 600m.
