In January 2025 the Company completed a reorganization resulting in the distribution of its uranium assets and merger with Southern Cross Gold Ltd. ("SXG AUS"). On January 10, 2025 the Company changed its name from Mawson Gold Limited to Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. and its TSXV trading symbol to "SXGC". On January 15, 2025 the Company's common shares were listed on the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX") under the symbol "SX2". See also Note 4. On July 2, 2025 the Company's common shares ceased to trade on the TSXV and began trading on the TSX under the same trading symbol, SXGC. On August 19, 2025 the Company's common shares commenced trading on the OTCQX under the trading symbol "SXGCF". The Company's executive office is located at #1305 - 1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 3V7, Canada. The Company is a resource company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of unproven mineral interests. As at February 28, 2026 the Company has not earned any production revenue, nor found proved reserves on any of its unproven mineral interests. On the basis of information to date the Company has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The underlying value of the exploration and evaluation assets is entirely dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and upon future profitable production. Exploration and evaluation assets represent costs incurred to date, less amounts depreciated and/or written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values. As at February 28, 2026 the Company had working capital of $120,974,138 and management considers the Company has adequate resources to maintain its core operations, conduct planned exploration programs on its existing exploration and evaluation assets and discharge its obligations as they become due in the next twelve months. Basis of Preparation Statement of Compliance These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting . The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Basis of Measurement The Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities to fair value. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Details of the Group and Non-controlling Interest In addition to the Company, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all corporations over which the Company is able, directly or indirectly, to control financial and operating policies, which is the authority usually connected with holding majority voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is acquired by the Company. Inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation. They are de-consolidated from the date that control by the Company ceases. For partially owned subsidiaries, the interest attributable to non-controlling shareholders is reflected in non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest in the Company's less than wholly-owned subsidiary is classified as a separate component of equity. On initial recognition, non-controlling interests are measured at their proportionate share of the acquisition date fair value of identifiable net assets of the related subsidiary acquired by the Company. Subsequent to the original transaction date, adjustments are made to the carrying amount of non-controlling interest for the non-controlling interest's share of changes to the subsidiary's equity. Basis of Preparation (continued) Changes in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are recorded as equity transactions. The carrying amount of non-controlling interest is adjusted to reflect the change in the non-controlling interest's relative interest in the subsidiary, and the difference between the adjustment to the carrying amount of non-controlling interests and the Company's share of proceeds received and/or consideration paid is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. In January 2025 the Company completed a corporate restructuring in which SXG AUS became a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary, as disclosed in Note 4. As at February 28, 2026 the significant subsidiaries of the Company are SXG AUS and Australian subsidiaries, incorporated in Australia and 100% owned. Material Accounting Policies These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the material accounting policies disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2025. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2025. Adoption of New Accounting Standards Accounting Standards and Interpretations Issued but Not Yet Effective IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements , which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss, in particular additional defined subtotals, disclosures about management-defined performance measures and new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows . IFRS 18 is effective from January 1, 2027. Companies are permitted to apply IFRS 18 before that date. The Company is assessing the impact of adoption of IFRS 18 and is working to identify all impacts the changes will have on the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements. Corporate Restructuring On July 30, 2024 the Company entered into a definitive binding scheme implementation agreement (the "SIA") with SXG AUS, its 48.7% owned subsidiary on the date of the SIA, to acquire all of the ordinary shares of SXG AUS (the "SXG AUS Shares") that the Company did not already own, by way of a scheme of arrangement under the laws of Australia (the "SXG AUS Scheme"). Following completion of the SXG AUS Scheme on January 23, 2025, SXG AUS became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the SXG AUS Scheme: on January 15, 2025, the Company completed the spin-out of the uranium assets and cash of $613,832 held by its then wholly-owned subsidiary SUA Holdings Limited ("SUA") and SUA's wholly-owned subsidiary, Euro Canna Holdings Ltd. ("Euro Canna") (the "SUA Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Pursuant to the SUA Arrangement, the Company distributed 100% of the common shares of SUA (the "SUA Shares") held by it to shareholders of the Company of record as at January 10, 2025, on a pro rata basis. As a result, the Company shareholders also became shareholders of SUA and SUA and Euro Canna ceased to be subsidiaries of the Company. SUA became a reporting issuer in British Columbia and Alberta. Corporate Restructuring (continued) The transaction was recorded at carrying value. The carrying value of the net assets transferred pursuant to the SUA Agreement consisted of the following: $ Cash 613,832 Exploration and evaluation assets 42,548 656,380 on January 10, 2025, the Company effected a share consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation share (a "Consolidated Share") for every 3.169432 pre-consolidation common shares (the "Consolidation"). As a result, the 306,138,320 common shares issued and outstanding prior to the Consolidation were reduced to 96,590,894 common shares, and outstanding stock options were adjusted accordingly. In addition the Company changed its name to Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. on January 15, 2025, the Company's securities commenced quotation on the ASX under the ticker symbol "SX2" and are settled in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests ("CDIs"). on January 23, 2025, the Company issued 125,041,031 common shares of the Company, with a fair value of $3.35 per share for total consideration of $418,887,454, to acquire the SXG AUS Shares; and During fiscal 2025 the Company incurred $2,625,076 for costs associated with the SIA.

As consideration for the acquisition of the Nagambie Shares the Company issued Nagambie 2,681,868 common shares of the Company, at a fair value of $1,572,500. As long as the Company continues to hold the Nagambie Shares it maintains a right of refusal to take up or match proposals being considered over a 3,600 square kilometre tenement package held by Nagambie. The Company subsequently purchased an additional 3,361,046 ordinary shares of Nagambie for $196,241 through open-market purchases. Investments (continued) The carrying values of the investments were determined using quoted market values. During the nine months ended February 28, 2026 the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $92,277 (2025 - $241,969) on its investments held.

See also Note 8. Financial Instruments and Risk Management Categories of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"); amortized cost; and fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments are classified into the following categories: Financial Instrument Category February 28, 2026 $ May 31, 2025 $ Cash and cash equivalents FVTPL 123,170,774 151,212,676 Amounts receivable Amortized cost - 83,392 Investments FVTPL 866,074 773,797 Bonds Amortized cost 1,944,360 95,985 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost (3,441,851) (2,759,332) Lease liabilities Amortized cost (1,333,849) (1,264,505) The Company's financial instruments recorded at fair value require disclosure about how the fair value was determined based on significant levels of inputs described in the following hierarchy: Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and value to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs including quoted forward prices for commodities and time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the market place. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued) Level 3 - Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The recorded amounts for amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The recorded amounts for lease liabilities approximate their fair value and they have interest at market rates for similar debt. The recorded amounts for cash and cash equivalents, investments and bonds approximate their fair value. The Company's fair value of cash and cash equivalents, and investments under the fair value hierarchy are measured using Level 1 inputs. The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below: Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash. Management believes that the potential loss related to the credit risk included in cash is remote. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have the resources to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company manages this risk by closely monitoring cash forecasts and managing resources to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations. All of the Company's financial liabilities are classified as current and are anticipated to mature within the next fiscal period. The following table is based on the contractual maturity dates of financial assets and the earliest date on which the Company can be required to settle financial liabilities. Contractual Maturity Analysis at February 28, 2026 Less than 3 Months $ 3 - 12 Months $ 1 - 5 Years $ Over 5 Years $ Total $ Cash and cash equivalents 123,170,774 - - - 123,170,774 Investments - - 866,074 - 866,074 Bonds - - 1,944,360 - 1,944,360 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (3,441,851) - - - (3,441,851) Lease liabilities (63,656) (190,970) (787,833) (291,390) (1,333,849) Market Risk Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. These fluctuations may be significant. Interest Rate Risk The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash bears floating rates of interest. The interest rate risk on cash and on the Company's obligations are not considered significant. Foreign Currency Risk The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company maintains foreign currency bank accounts to support the cash needs of its foreign operations. Management believes the foreign exchange risk related to currency conversions is minimal and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk. At February 28, 2026, 1 Canadian Dollar was equal to 1.03 AUD Dollar and 0.73 US Dollar. 12. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued) Balances are as follows: AUD US CDN $ Dollars Dollars Equivalent Cash and cash equivalents 89,047,590 42,271 86,511,876 GST receivable 333,249 - 323,543 Bonds 1,987,576 11,010 1,944,360 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (3,487,487) - (3,385,910) 87,880,928 53,281 85,393,869 Based on the net exposures as of February 28, 2026 and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% fluctuation on the Canadian Dollar against the AUD Dollar and US Dollar would result in the Company's net income or loss being approximately $6,450,000 higher (or lower). Capital Management The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital that it manages as share capital, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. 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 ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

It should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the accompanying notes for the nine months ended February 28, 2026 as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the year ended May 31, 2025 for Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. ("SXGC" or the "Company"). The following disclosure and associated financial statements are presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Calendar Year and Fiscal Year are referenced throughout the document by "CY" and "FY" respectively. Except as otherwise disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following MD&A are quoted in Canadian dollars unless otherwise disclosed. QUARTER IN CONTEXT Message from Management Regulatory Milestone Q3 FY2026 marked the transition from planning to execution at Sunday Creek. Following receipt of the Work Plan approval for the exploration decline on 26 November 2025 - announced by the Victorian Premier at the CEDA economic forum with critical minerals named as one of the State's key economic pillars - the Company commenced construction during the quarter. Lincolns Earthmoving mobilised to site in January 2026 and is progressing surface earthworks including clearing, water storage dams, waste rock facilities, and supporting infrastructure. Pybar was selected as the preferred underground contractor and received Board approval in March, with underground development targeted to commence in June 2026. The 1,000 m exploration decline is on track for completion in December 2026, with the first underground drill platform targeted for October 2026. Upon completion, up to 12 underground drill rigs are proposed to be deployed alongside our current 10 (+2) surface rigs, creating a substantial pre-development drill program with up to 24 rigs operating concurrently. The appointments of Ryan Austerberry as COO and Joe Seppelt as Head of Technology & Processing during the period materially strengthen the Company's execution capability for the next phase of development. Drilling Program Summary Ten drill rigs are currently operational on the Sunday Creek project, with an additional rig mobilising Q2 CY2026. Two of these rigs are dedicated to regional exploration. Results are pending from 49 holes currently being processed and analyzed. The Company continues its 200,000 m drill program through Q1 CY2027 with the aim to announce a maiden resource during Q1 CY2027. The convergence of Golden Dyke and Rising Sun into a single connected system, combined with continued depth extensions at Apollo and the receipt of Work Plan approval for underground access, positions Sunday Creek for accelerated resource definition in CY2026. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced results from the deepest drill hole completed on the project to date. SDDSC194W1, a deep control hole at Golden Dyke, intersected gold mineralization across approximately 28 m true thickness more than 460 metres below the known mineralized footprint, confirming the host sequence persists at depth with at least 50% additional vertical space below the current drilled envelope. A second deep hole targeting close to two kilometres depth is underway. As at April 09, 2026, the Company has reported 249 drill holes for 116,390 m of drilling at Sunday Creek. At 1 m (down hole length) @ 5 g/t AuEq lower cut the project has delivered to date: Gold downhole composites intersections: 81 exceeding 100 g/t Au (up to 3,511 g/t Au over 0.7 m) 72 between 50-100 g/t Au Antimony downhole composite intersections: 101 exceeding 10% Sb (up to 47.5% Sb over 0.6 m) Financially, the Company deployed $19.6 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 across drilling, decline preparation, and regional exploration, ending the quarter with $123.2 million in cash, providing a robust runway through resource establishment and PEA completion. The Company is advancing strategic midstream antimony engagement with the Victorian State government, Japan and the USA. Key Themes This Quarter Management identified three themes that defined this quarter and will continue to shape performance: Development Acceleration: Surface earthworks commenced in January with Lincolns Earthmoving mobilised to site, and the Board approved the preferred underground decline contractor in March. The decline is on track for underground entry in June 2026 and completion in December 2026, with the first underground drill platform targeted for October 2026. The appointment of Joe Seppelt as Head of Technology & Processing and Ryan Austerberry as COO materially strengthens the Company's execution capability for the transition from explorer to developer. Project Growth & Drilling Momentum: Ten drill rigs are operating with the 200,000 m program aiming for a maiden resource in Q1 CY2027. The quarter delivered confirmation that Golden Dyke and Rising Sun form a single connected system, a 200 m western extension of Golden Dyke with 16 new vein sets identified, and continued high-grade intercepts at depth across all prospects - including a notable composite intersection at Golden Dyke (12.2 m @ 33.3 g/t AuEq in SDDSC188). An updated Exploration Target is planned for Q2 CY2026. Capital Markets & Strategic Positioning: The Company filed a C$700M base shelf prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, was added to the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index (GDXJ) and FTSE Gold Mines Index effective March 20, 2026, and lodged a US EXIM Bank Letter of Intent application. These milestones reflect the Company's transition to institutional-grade capital markets infrastructure and position SXGC to finance the build in this current metals cycle.

The Exploration Target has been completed in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, 2012 Edition ("JORC") and NI 43-101. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT Industry Context Gold market: Gold prices increased during the quarter, with spot gold averaging US$4,681/oz. The Company's high grades potentially position Sunday Creek favourably. Importantly, Sunday Creek can be advanced primarily on gold economics (approximately 80% of recoverable value), reducing antimony-related market risks while maintaining strategic supply potential. Antimony market: According to the China Shanghai Changjiang Antimony Grade 1 spot price, antimony closed at CNY 170,000/mt (approximately US$24,700/mt at current exchange rates of ~6.9 USD/CNY) on April 05 2026. The price remains down 20.2% on a rolling 12-month basis . Antimony has experienced an extraordinary surge since mid-CY2024, rising from approximately CNY 60,000/mt (the long-term average from CY2003-2025) to a peak of nearly CNY 250,000/mt (~US$35,700/mt) in late CY2025-representing a more than four-fold increase from the 20-year average. Following this peak, prices have corrected to current levels around CNY 170,000/mt but remain approximately 2.8 times higher than the historical average of ~CNY 60,000/mt. This price surge was triggered by China's announcement in August 2024 of export restrictions on antimony and antimony products, effective September 15, 2024, which has placed significant pressure on Western defence and semiconductor supply chains. Victorian mining environment: In November 2025 the Victorian Regulator approved the Sunday Creek Exploration Decline Work Plan, which will be implemented over a four-month period, and this approval, along with four mines receiving key permits in CY2025, reflects the constructive permitting environment in Victoria. The state hosts globally leading operations including Agnico Eagle's Fosterville mine (the world's highest-grade underground gold mine CY2018-2021) and Alkane Resources' Costerfield (largest Western antimony producer). Strategic Positioning The Company's membership of the US Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC) and Australia's AUKUS-related legislative changes position the Company as a potential key Western antimony supplier: Proximity to established processing infrastructure, historically ore from Sunday Creek was processed at Costerfield, 54 km northwest. Stage 2 metallurgical test work demonstrating 92-96% gold recovery and successful selective flotation producing high-grade, low-arsenic antimony-gold concentrate. Strategic freehold land ownership of 1,392 hectares securing the project footprint. Location 60 km north of Melbourne with excellent infrastructure access. STRATEGY EXECUTION Strategic Priorities & Progress The Company's strategy centres on three priorities. This section tracks progress against each: Priority 1: Resource Definition Objective: Establish Inferred Mineral Resource by Q1 CY2027. Progress this quarter: 12,572 m of surface drilling completed in Q3 at a cost of A$318/m, with 43,160 m drilled across the first nine months of FY2026 at A$286/m. Drilling across Rising Sun, Golden Dyke, Apollo and Christina continues to deliver high-grade intercepts. The current Exploration Target released in March 2025 contains 2.2-3.2 Moz @ 8.3-10.6 g/t AuEq. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and therefore is an approximation. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The Exploration Target has been completed in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, 2012 Edition ("JORC") and NI 43-101. On track: Yes. Drilling program progressing to plan, with 10 surface rigs currently operating and an additional rig being mobilized in Q2 CY2026. Priority 2: Development Advancement Objective: Commence underground decline construction with surface works during January 2026. Progress this quarter: Surface earthworks commenced in January 2026, whilst a preferred underground decline contractor received Board approval in March 2026. Contract finalisation and mobilisation planning are underway, targeting commencement of underground development in June 2026. On track: Yes. Excavation of box cut to commence April 2026. Priority 3: Strategic Value Realization Objective: Position Sunday Creek as critical Western antimony supply source. Progress this quarter: Stage 2 metallurgical test work was completed in August 2025, demonstrating successful selective flotation technology producing high-grade, low-arsenic antimony-gold concentrate. DIBC membership maintained. Antimony exempt from US reciprocal tariffs. During Q3 FY2026, the Company filed a C$700 million base shelf prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, was added to the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index (GDXJ) and the FTSE Gold Mines Index effective March 20, 2026 and lodged a US EXIM Bank Letter of Intent. On track: Yes. Technical and strategic foundations in place.

The Company's expenses and cash requirements will fluctuate from period to period depending on the level of activity and, therefore, lack some degree of comparability. The Company's quarterly results may be affected by many factors such as timing of exploration activity, share-based payment costs, marketing activities and other factors that affect Company's exploration and financing activities. Furthermore, the Company's net loss/income may also be affected by the current fair value of its investments held. Three Months Ended February 28, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended February 28, 2025 During the three months ended February 28, 2026 ("Q3/2026") the Company reported a net loss of $591,021 compared to a net loss of $2,434,164 for the three months ended February 28, 2025 ("Q3/2025"), a decrease in loss of $1,843,143. Significant fluctuations were reported in the following: An increase in general and administrative expenses to $1,830,794 during Q3/2026 compared to $997,440 during Q3/2025 primarily in salaries and benefits; An increase in interest income to $1,043,768 during Q3/2026 compared to $12,016 during Q3/2025 due to increased levels of cash held during the 2026 period; and The prior period recognition of $613,577 for corporate restructuring costs in Q3/2025. The costs related to the Scheme Implementation Agreement with Southern Cross Gold Ltd. (SXG AUS). Nine Months Ended February 28, 2026 Compared to Nine Months Ended February 28, 2025 During the nine months ended February 28, 2026 (the "2026 period") the Company reported a net loss of $2,203,249 compared to a net loss of $5,534,726 for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 (the "2025 period") a decrease in loss of $3,331,477. The decrease in loss was attributed to: an increase in interest income of $3,336,016 (from $82,579 in the 2025 period to $3,418,595 in the 2026 period), reflecting the significantly higher cash balances maintained throughout the 2026 period; and The prior period (2025) recognition of $2,555,232 for corporate restructuring costs.

The three-year deployment timeline allows for measured capital allocation aligned with key milestones. RISKS & OUTLOOK Risk Assessment The following risks have been identified or updated based on current operating conditions: Evolving Risks This Quarter Decline Construction Execution: With Work Plan approval received, execution risk shifted to construction phase. Management is mitigating this through engagement of experienced mining contractors familiar with Victorian underground operations. Global Antimony Supply Dynamics: While China's export restrictions enhance Sunday Creek's strategic positioning, antimony price volatility remains a consideration. The Company's strategy to develop primarily on gold economics provides partial mitigation. Principal Ongoing Risks The Company's principal risks remain: exploration risk, commodity price volatility, permitting and regulatory risk, financing risk, and environmental and social risk. For comprehensive discussion, refer to the Company's Annual Information Form on SEDAR+. Outlook Near-Term Focus (Next 6 Months) Complete surface earthworks and enabling infrastructure, commence underground decline development in June 2026, targeting first underground drill platform by October 2026, with decline completion by December 2026. Continue surface drilling program with eleven rigs operating and additional rigs mobilising, aiming for Q1 CY2027 maiden MRE. Advance regional exploration across the 12 km mineralised trend - Tonstal drilling underway Release updated Exploration Target in Q2 CY2026. Continue deep control drilling program - second deep hole targeting close to two kilometres depth is underway following confirmation of gold mineralization 460 m below the Golden Dyke footprint. Progress government antimony midstream processing partnership discussions with the Victorian and Australian governments and international partners. Medium-Term Direction (12-24 Months) The Company's medium-term direction centres on three concurrent workstreams: establishing an Inferred Mineral Resource by Q1 CY2027 and completing a Preliminary Economic Assessment and commencing environmental baseline data collection to support the longer-term full-scale build (Program 2). Underground drilling from the decline (up to 12 rigs) will supplement surface drilling (10 rigs now with 2 additional surface rigs planned during 2026), providing for Australia's largest pre-development drill program with up to 24 rigs operating concurrently. The Company's capital markets infrastructure - including the C$700M base shelf prospectus and GDXJ/FTSE index inclusion -positions SXGC to finance the build in this current metals cycle. PROJECT UPDATE Sunday Creek Project The Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project is located approximately 60 km north of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. The project is the Company's material property and sole reportable segment. It is contained within 16,900 hectares of granted exploration tenements and one granted retention licence, with the Company owning 1,392 hectares of strategic freehold land. Geologically, Sunday Creek is a shallow orogenic (epizonal) Fosterville-style deposit located within the Melbourne Structural Zone in the Lachlan Fold Belt. The mineralization forms in a 'Golden Ladder' structure where gold and antimony occur in relay vein sets cutting across a steeply dipping zone of intensely altered volcanic and sedimentary rocks, with individual vein sets extending from surface to over 1,100 m. Drilling Program As at April 09, 2026, the Company has reported 249 drill holes for 116,390 m of drilling at Sunday Creek. At 1 m (down hole length) @ 5 g/t AuEq lower cut the project has delivered to date: Gold downhole composites intersections: 81 exceeding 100 g/t Au (up to 3,511 g/t Au over 0.7 m) 72 between 50-100 g/t Au Antimony downhole composite intersections: 101 exceeding 10% Sb (up to 47.5% Sb over 0.6 m) The Company released 20 holes over the quarter which delivered high-grade results across all prospects. Golden Dyke - Rising Sun: A Single Connected System The quarter's most significant geological development was confirmation that Golden Dyke and Rising Sun form part of the same large-scale mineralized system and the extension of Golden Dyke significantly to the west. Hole SDDSC188 (January 6, 2026) delivered a notable composite intersection at Golden Dyke : 12.2 m @ 33.3 g/t AuEq (32.4 g/t Au, 0.4% Sb) from 447.0 m, including a high-grade individual assay at Golden Dyke of 0.2 m @ 1,050 g/t Au from 452.72 m. This hole intersected eight vein sets, including two new vein sets (GD82 and GD83) located outside the current Exploration Target, achieving a 50-70 m step-down. SDDSC208 achieved a 200 m horizontal step-out extension between Golden Dyke and Christina with a standout intersection of 1.8 m @ 80.5 g/t AuEq (79.9 g/t Au, 0.2% Sb) from 649.4 m, with four individual assays exceeding 100 g/t Au, including 309 g/t Au over 0.47 m. The hole intersected multiple vein sets beyond the current exploration target, expanding the known extent of the mineralized system and continuing to link mineralization from Golden Dyke across to Christina. Golden Dyke now exhibits the same characteristics observed at Rising Sun: high-grade tenor, frequent visible gold occurrences, and elevated antimony values. The critical distinction is that Golden Dyke has only been defined with confidence down to 600 m below surface and has considerably less drilling than Rising Sun. Golden Dyke: Deep Control Hole - Subsequent Event Subsequent to quarter end, hole SDDSC194W1 - the deepest hole completed on the project - intersected gold mineralization 460 metres below the known Golden Dyke footprint at 1,236 m below surface. The hole returned 66 m downhole (approximately 28 m true width) of altered dyke and sediment with anomalous gold throughout, including 6.6 m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 1,389.4 m with a peak of 5.4 g/t Au over 0.9 m. Arsenic-to-antimony ratios confirm the intersection sits within the sulphosalt zone and the brittle-ductile transition, consistent with the epizonal model at depth. The host sequence is comparable in thickness to intervals above, confirming the system is repeatable and fertile at depth. This result demonstrates at least 50% additional vertical space exists below the current drilled envelope, and a second deep hole targeting close to two kilometres is now underway. Rising Sun: Drilling Update Four holes reported on January 28, 2026 delivered high-grade results, with SDDSC196 intersecting 16 vein sets across 559 m mineralised corridor downhole, averaging 559 m @ 2.5 g/t AuEq (2.1 g/t Au, 0.2% Sb) uncut , including a standout 1.3 m @ 670.4 g/t AuEq (670.2 g/t Au, 0.1% Sb) from 869.2 m - the 7 th highest intercept on the project - confirming that ultra-high-grade gold persists at depth. A record project antimony assay of 0.16 m @ 65.9% Sb (plus 78.5 g/t Au) was also intersected. Apollo East: Grade Improvement at Depth Apollo Deeps: System Remains Open Hole SDDSC192 (December 17, 2025), the deepest east-west oriented hole drilled into the Apollo prospect to date, returned 3.6 m @ 14.7 g/t AuEq (14.6 g/t Au) from 708.6 m including 0.21 m @ 236 g/t Au . This result stepped down 60 m at Apollo East and 80 m at Apollo Deeps, demonstrating the system remains robust and open at depth. Structural Framework At least 115 individual "rungs" of the Golden Ladder structure have now been defined across the 1,550 m strike from Christina to Apollo, with high-grade intercepts ranging from 20 g/t Au to >7,330 g/t Au. The quarter's drilling continues to demonstrate that grade improves at depth-a characteristic of epizonal gold-antimony systems-with the deepest holes consistently returning high-grade values. Other Properties Redcastle : Located 120 km north of Melbourne along strike from Alkane's Costerfield mine, with 40,000 historic gold workings. Two drill holes drilled from December 2025. Community & Safety The Company maintains an active community engagement program centred on transparent communication with neighbours and the broader local community. During Q3 FY2026, engagement activities included: 75 face-to-face meetings or phone calls with immediate neighbours providing operational updates 92 direct communications with residents via text, calls, or email 48 public site tours and 52 private tours including industry groups and diplomatic representatives Community engagement reached over 6,000 people across local events and sponsorships. Community grants program awarding 5 grants to local organisations Quarterly newsletters distributed to approximately 650 households in Clonbinane and surrounding areas Weekly operational updates to the independent Community Reference Group (CRG), which meets quarterly with Resources Victoria and Mitchell Shire Council observers in attendance The Company undertakes regular attended noise monitoring (11 rounds during the Q3 FY2026) to ensure compliance with environmental conditions. A formal complaints process is in place with all matters investigated and responded to. Safety performance remains strong with no lost time or recordable injuries during the period. The appointment of Ryan Austerberry as COO in December 2025 further strengthened operational and safety leadership during the period.

Effective April 28, 2025 the Company entered into an office lease agreement in Kilmore with the family trust of the Company's Chief Executive Officer for a term of five years plus a three-year renewal option, at AUD $7,890 per month. The office lease and price was negotiated by an independent real estate agency with the lease based on the market price for comparable real estate in Kilmore. Risks and Uncertainties The Company competes with other mining companies, some of which have greater financial resources and technical facilities, for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims and other interests, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees. The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material regulations applicable to its exploration activities. Existing and possible future environmental legislation, regulations and actions could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the activities of the Company, the extent of which cannot be predicted. Before production can commence on any properties, the Company must obtain regulatory and environmental approvals. There is no assurance that such approvals can be obtained on a timely basis or at all. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of operations. Outstanding Share Data The Company's authorized share capital is unlimited common shares without par value. As at March 31, 2026 there were 259,490,521 issued and outstanding common shares. In addition, there were: 700,000 share options outstanding, at an exercise price of $3.38 per share; 10,470,000 share options outstanding, at exercise prices ranging from AUD $0.30 to AUD $1.20 per share; and 275,313 restricted share units ("RSUs") outstanding.

Qualified/Competent Persons The scientific and technical information in this MD&A, including the information that relates to exploration results at Sunday Creek was prepared under the supervision of, or has been prepared, reviewed, verified and approved by Michael Hudson, President, CEO and Managing Director of SXGC, a qualified person as defined by the NI 43-101 and a Competent Person who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr. Hudson holds stock options and shares in the Company. Mr. Hudson has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activities undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr. Hudson consents to the inclusion in the MD&A of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. The information that relates to the Exploration Target is extracted from the technical report titled NI 43-101 Technical Report, Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project, Victoria, Australia" and dated August 10, 2025, and issue date of January 20, 2026 (the "Technical Report") prepared for the Company by Kenneth Bush, a qualified person under NI 43-101. Mr. Bush is the Head of Exploration for the Company and holds shares in the Company. Mr. Bush has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activities undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.

The Technical Report is available for download under the Company's profile on https://www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at https://www.southerncrossgold.com The information in this MD&A that relates to the current Exploration Target for the Sunday Creek Project, which was first reported by the Company in a market announcement titled "Southern Cross Gold Doubles Exploration Target with Increasing Grade at Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project" dated March 3, 2025 (Vancouver time) is available on the Company's website at www.southerncrossgold.com , on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the ASX website at www.asx.com.au. Gold Equivalent Calculation SXGC considers that both gold and antimony that are included in the gold equivalent calculation ("AuEq") have reasonable potential to be recovered at Sunday Creek, given current geochemical understanding, historic production statistics and geologically analogous mining operations. Historically, ore from Sunday Creek was treated onsite or shipped to the Costerfield mine, located 54 km to the northwest of the project, for processing during WW1. SXGC considers that it is appropriate to adopt the same gold equivalent variables as Mandalay Resources Ltd (now, Alkane Resources Limited) in its 2024 End of Year Mineral Reserves and Resources Press Release, dated February 20, 2025. The gold equivalence formula used by Mandalay Resources (now, Alkane Resources Limited) was calculated using Costerfield's 2024 production costs, using a gold price of US $2,500 per ounce, an antimony price of US $19,000 per tonne and 2024 total year metal recoveries of 91% for gold and 92% for antimony, and is as follows: = (/) + 2.39 × (%). Based on the latest Costerfield calculation and given the similar geological styles and historic toll treatment of Sunday Creek mineralization at Costerfield, SXGC considers that a = (/) + 2.39 × (%) is appropriate to use for the initial exploration targeting of gold-antimony mineralization at Sunday Creek. The Company confirms that, as of the date of this MD&A, it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original document/announcement and the Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not materially modified from the original market announcement.
