Developments in and following the Quarter ended September 30, 2025

On July 2, 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Timo Jauristo as Chief Executive Officer, effective June 30, 2025. See link for details.

On July 28, 2025, September 17, 2025 and October 6, 2025, the Company announced significant encouraging gold and copper assays from trenches and surface samples on its North East areas of its Osena Project. These areas are South West of, and adjacent to, the tenements which host K92 Mining's operating gold mine in Papua New Guinea, ("PNG"). The announced assays include numerous significant gold and copper grades within a 15 square Kilometre gold-in-soils anomaly. See links for details.

On July 30, 2025, the Company announced that it had engaged Triomphe Holdings Ltd., doing business as Capital Analytica, and 45 Degrees Inc., to provide, respectively, marketing services and advertising services to the Company. The Company also announced that it issued 575,000 Stock Options and awarded 175,000 Restricted Share Units to officers, directors, consultants and service providers. See link for details.

On September 16, 2025, the Company announced that its interim injunction against K92 Mining and the Mineral Resource Authority ("MRA") of PNG, enjoining the MRA from considering any application by K92 to take some of the Company's Anga Exploration Licence, EL 2558 for a Tailings Storage Facility, ("TSF"), had been upheld by the PNG courts. See link for details.

On September 18, 2025, K92 Mining announced the it had selected a site within its own Exploration Licences for its TSF and that it "…has no interest in purchasing …[the Company's]… EL 2558 or any other licence held by …[the Company]…", and that it "…no longer intends to apply for a LMP, …[Lease for Mining Purposes]… within the boundaries of …[the Company's]… EL 2558". See link for details.

On October 14, 2025, the Company announced that it had identified new mineralized zones at its Golconda South prospect within its Anga Project, which is North East of, and adjacent to, the tenements which host K92 Mining's operating gold mine. See link for details.

On October 30, 2025, the Company announced that drilling had commenced on its Ontenu North East prospect within its Osena Project to follow up high grade gold, silver and copper samples on this prospect. See link for details.

On November 11, 2025, the Company announced that it had received assays for rock chip samples from a zone on its Ontenu North East prospect within its Osena Project, with values up to 21.2% copper and high grades of silver, and, from a separate zone nearby, assays of 1.2% copper, 258 grams per tonne silver and 8.65% zinc. See link for details.

On November 25, 2025, the Company announced a marketing equity offering up to $8 million of units (the "Offering") consisting of one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant of the Company (a "Unit") at an indicative price of $0.54 per Unit. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share from the Company at a price of $0.90 per share for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering. See link for details.

Outlook

As at September 30, 2025, the Company has working capital of $1,256,069 (March 31, 2025-

$4,623,048). As the Company has no source of revenue at this time, it will continue to deplete capital to operate potential drill programs, fieldwork, office and administrative expenses and continual investigations of new projects and opportunities. Accordingly, the Company will be required to obtain additional financing in the future.

On July 2, 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Timo Jauristo as the Company's new Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Jauristo has conducted an initial assessment of the Company's projects and is working with the PNG team. The Company purchased a diamond drill rig during the six months ended September 30, 2025. The Company intends to embark on an initial drill program in the coming months.

KRL and the Company have commenced legal proceedings in the National Court against K92 Mining and the Mineral Resources Authority. The Company has filed for declaratory relief to confirm that KRL is the exclusive registered holder of Exploration Licence EL 2558 under the PNG Mining Act 1992, and that it alone holds surface and subsurface mineral exploration rights within the licence boundaries.

The Company took this action following what it believes to be trespass and interference by K92 Mining on EL 2558. The Company's objective is to protect its legal rights, maintain the integrity of its exploration program, and ensure that the licence area remains free from unauthorized activity. EL2558 is a focus of the Company's exploration programs, and should the Company's exploration programs turn out to be economic, this area is a potential tailings facility for the Company. The Company will provide further updates as the proceedings develop.

On August 14, 2025, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Kainantu Resources Limited ("KRL"), obtained an interim injunction from the National Court of Justice of Papua New Guinea ("National Court") restraining K92 Mining Limited ("K92 Mining") from interfering with or contravening KRL's exclusive exploration rights within its EL 2558 exploration licence area, including: restraining K92 Mining from entering into or interfering with the EL 2558 area, including conducting sterilization drilling, or undertaking infrastructure development on the EL 2558 area, including any proposed tailings storage facility and solar farm; and preventing the Mineral Resources Authority from accepting or processing any K92 Mining applications for leases or tenements over the EL 2558 area.

Osena Project

The Osena Project is located to the southwest and immediately adjoining K92 Mining Ltd's tenements (Figure 2). The project is located in the Kainantu Transfer Zone, a large NE-SW striking tectonic structure that is known to host multiple mineral deposits and styles (Figure 3). Project geology consists of volcanics and sediments intruded by mafic to felsic intrusives. The Elandora Porphyry suite, a key driver for epithermal Au-Cu-Ag deposits and porphyry related deposits throughout the region has been identified on the project area.



‌Figure 2 Location of Osena & Anga Projects

During the reporting period, the Company focused considerable exploration effort at the Osena Project, and particularly the Ontenu Central and Ontenu NE prospect areas where previous work has identified a large scale epithermal footprint over 5 x 3km area (Figure 4).

The Company has a strong working relationship with the local landowners and the local employment and community relations programs continued during the reporting period. Principal field activity included trenching, reconnaissance mapping, surface sampling and drill pad selection/preparation for the upcoming drill program. Multiple targets and new mineralized structures were identified as noted in Company releases dated July 28, 2025; September 17, 2025; & October 6, 2025.

During the reporting period, the Company commenced a trenching program at Irinke, which is on-going, with the first assay results expected shortly.

Other

The Anga project consists of other target areas including Binano North, North Ridge, Satup, Watarais and Young Creek. The Company recently completed two lines of close spaced soils at Satup to check previously returned coarse spaced soils >200ppb Au.

Kili Teke Project

The Kili Teke Project is located ~40km west of the Porgera Gold Mine (Figure 12), operated by Barrick Niugini Ltd. The Company purchased the project from Harmony Gold Ltd in 2023.

The project consists of diorite to monzo-diorite intrusions intruding into sediments and limestones in a similar setting to the giant Grasberg deposit located in West Papua. Several mineralization styles have been identified on the project including the porphyry related Cu-Au, skarn related Cu-Au-Ag-Zn and alkalic epithermal Au. A series of E-W structures have been mapped at Kili Teke and these are associated with strong surface anomalism in Au-Te-Bi-As (Figure 13). This metal association, in combination with alkalic rocks, is indicative of potential alkalic epithermal gold deposits such as Porgera, located to east of Kili Teke.

To date the Company conducted regional desktop targeting work, including working with consultants on specialist geochemical and geophysical techniques to prioritize targets.

The last technical update was presented in release on October 1, 2024. During the reporting period the Company conducted land-owner meetings with a view to establishing local employment opportunities and commencing on-ground work shortly.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital as at September 30, 2025 was $1,256,069 (March 31, 2025 -

$4,623,048), including a cash and cash equivalent balance of $2,062,425 to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,063,472. The Company is in a positive working capital position with sufficient funds to finance its exploration activities and to fund general administrative costs through fiscal 2026. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

While the Company currently has sufficient funds to complete the next phase of exploration activities, the Company does not have a source of income available to maintain liquidity indefinitely into the future. The Company will continue to seek capital. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of common shares. The Company continues to investigate additional financing opportunities and would consider raising capital via share issuances, debt facilities, joint venture arrangements, or a combination of these options. The Company's continuing operations rely on the ability of the Company to continue to raise capital.

Risk s Uncertainties

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company has no revenue and will continue to seek capital to sustain operations. In the past the Company has raised capital through the issuance of common shares pursuant to private placements. All financial liabilities, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans from related parties, are classified as current.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty is unable to fulfil its contractual payment obligations and arises primarily from the Company's financial assets. The Company is mainly exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk exposure is limited through depositing cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. The carrying value of these financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors and prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. The Company is currently not exposed to any material market risks.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the Company's financial performance will be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates between currencies. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities in Canada, Singapore and PNG and is exposed to risk from changes in the USD, CAD, Singapore dollar and the PNG Kina. The Company manages this foreign currency risk by matching payments in the same currency where possible and monitoring movements in exchange rates.

Other Risk Factors

The Company is subject to a range of additional risk factors, including operational, geological, environmental, licensing and financing risks and risks related to fluctuations in commodities prices, each of which are outlined below.

Exploration and Operational Risks

The Company's operations are focused on mineral exploration and evaluation which involve a high degree of risk. To mitigate this risk the focus of the Company is on areas which are prospective for economic deposits and in the proximity of current mining operations, but no assurance can be given that the acquisition of and exploration of resource properties will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit which will be subsequently advanced to commercial production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may

result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital. There is no assurance that the Company's mineral exploration and any development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of major mineralized deposits, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.

The Company's operations are subject to hazards and risks normally associated with exploration, which include all the hazards and risks normally encountered in exploration, including: unusual and unexpected geologic formations; seismic activity; rock bursts; cave-ins or slides; flooding; periodic interruption due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions, any of which could result in risk of injury or death and damage to property or the environment or possible legal liability. Operations may also be subject to disruptions caused by physical geography, environmental, extreme weather and community interrelations which are outside the Company's control.

Risks of Operating in Papua New Guinea

The Company's exploration activities are conducted in Papua New Guinea and, as such, its operations are exposed to relatively high levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the existence or possibility of political or economic instability; conflict; terrorism; hostage taking; military repression; extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates; high rates of inflation; labour unrest; war or civil unrest; expropriation and nationalization; uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation in a foreign jurisdiction; uncertainty as to enforcement of local laws; uncertainty in relation to the impact of a new pandemic on mining operations and travel limitations on flyin fly-out employees; the impact of any declared State of Emergency laws in Papua New Guinea on fly-in fly-out employees and on labour force generally; environmental controls and permitting; restrictions on the use of land and natural resources; renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and contracts; illegal mining; changes in taxation laws or policies; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; corruption; unstable legal systems; changing political conditions; changes in mining and social laws and policies; social unrest on account of poverty or unequal income distribution; local ownership legislation; currency controls and governmental regulations that favor or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, the foreign jurisdiction or require equity participation by local citizens; and other risks arising out of foreign sovereignty issues.

The Company's interests in exploration and development properties are located in Papua New Guinea, a developing country, and therefore its mineral exploration and mining activities may be affected by political instability and governmental legislation and regulations relating to foreign investment and the mining industry. Papua New Guinea can often experience periods of civil unrest and instability. Changes, if any, in mining or investment laws or policies, political attitude or the level of stability in Papua New Guinea may adversely affect the Company's operations or profitability.

Due to the potential for criminal activity and civil unrest in Papua New Guinea, the Company may need to maintain a minimum level of security to protect its assets and personnel;

however, there is no guarantee that such measures will provide an adequate level of protection for the Company or its assets and personnel.

Limited Operating History

The Company has a limited operating history and its mineral properties are exploration stage properties. As such, the Company will be subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues.

The current state of the Company's mineral properties require significant additional expenditures before any cash flow may be generated. Although the Company possesses an experienced management team, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of any business. There is no assurance that the Company can generate revenues, operate profitably, or provide a return on investment, or that it will successfully implement its plans.

Supply Chain Risks

Due to limited suppliers of equipment, materials, supplies and services available in Papua New Guinea, any disruption at supplier facilities could result in curtailment or suspension of activities. Any disruption in the transportation of or restriction in the flow of these goods or the imposition of customs clearance requirements may result in production delays.

The Company is also exposed to price volatility in respect of key inputs, such as fuel. Increases in global fuel prices can materially increase operating costs, erode operating margins and project investment returns. Conversely, a significant and sustained decline in world fuel prices may offset other costs and improve returns. The Company may also be exposed to worldwide political, economic or other risks and uncertainties, including a risk of war or civil unrest. In particular, the Company's business could be materially adversely affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine or any conflict involving China, which could in turn have potential impacts on commodity prices and negative implications on the financial markets. The effect of these factors cannot be predicted with any accuracy by the Company and its management.

Corruption and Compliance Risks

The Company is subject to certain Canadian and other anti-corruption laws and regulations (the "Anti-Corruption Legislation"). In general, these laws prohibit a company and its employees and intermediaries from bribing or making other prohibited payments to foreign officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage.

According to Transparency International, Papua New Guinea is perceived as having fairly high levels of corruption relative to Canada. The Company relies, to a great extent, on the Company's local advisors in respect of legal, environmental compliance, banking, financing and tax matters in order to ensure compliance with material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect the Company's operations in Papua New Guinea. The Company cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which the Company's operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted. The Company's operations in the Papua New Guinea may create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the

Company's employees, consultants or agents. Failure by the Company or its predecessors to comply with the applicable legislation and other similar foreign laws could expose the Company and its senior management to civil and/or criminal penalties, other sanctions and remedial measures, legal expenses and reputational damage, all of which could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Likewise, any investigation of any alleged violations of the applicable Anti-Corruption Legislation by Canadian or foreign authorities could also have an adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Relationship with Stakeholders Risks

As a mining business, the Company comes under pressure in the jurisdictions in which it operates to demonstrate that other stakeholders (including employees, communities surrounding operations and the countries in which it operates) benefit and will continue to benefit from the Company's commercial activities, and/or that the Company operates in a manner that will minimize any potential damage or disruption to the interests of those stakeholders. The Company may face opposition with respect to its current and future development and exploration projects which could materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Governments in many jurisdictions must consult with aboriginal peoples and local communities with respect to grants of mineral rights and the issuance or amendment of project authorizations. Consultation and other rights of Aboriginal people and local communities frequently require accommodations, including undertakings regarding employment, royalty payments and other matters. This may affect the Company's ability to acquire within a reasonable time frame effective mineral titles, permits or licences in the jurisdictions in which it operates and may affect the timetable and costs of development of the Company's mineral properties.

Further, certain non-governmental organizations ("NGOs"), some of which oppose globalization and resource development, are often vocal critics of the mining industry and its practices, including the use of hazardous substances in processing activities. Adverse publicity generated by such NGOs or others related to extractive industries generally, or the Company's operations specifically, could have an adverse effect on the Company's reputation and financial condition and may impact its relationship with the communities in which the Company operates. They may also attempt to disrupt the Company's operations.

Licenses Risks

The Company's mineral exploration activities are subject to the issue, renewal and maintaining licenses from appropriate government authorities. Failure to renew, transfer or the loss of a license may impact the Company's operations. The Company is also required to meet minimum expenditure amounts on the exploration licenses to maintain them in good standing.

Financing Risks

The Company will require additional funding with no revenues from operations and expects to incur operating losses in future periods on exploration projects, new business opportunities and working capital costs. The Company has relied upon equity subscriptions to date and will
