(Presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated)	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025

2025 HIGHLIGHTS

The following highlights the Company’s most recent developments up to the MD&A Date.

Project Highlights

Springpole

	·	On July 3, 2025, Mishkeegogamang First Nation and the Company announced that they signed a Long-Term Relationship Agreement (“Agreement” or “LTRA”) covering the Springpole Gold Project, located in northwestern Ontario. The Agreement sets out a collaborative approach for the development of one of Canada’s largest gold resources, through construction, operations, and closure, in a manner that respects the environment and provides direct benefits to the First Nation.
	·	On February 12, 2025, the Company announced results from the Phase 1 East Extension diamond drilling program. The East Extension Phase 1 exploration drilling program comprised 5 holes for a total of 2,293m and was successful in returning significant widths of continuous mineralization in an underexplored area of the Project located within the current Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) open-pit development footprint. Highlights from the drill program include two broad mineralization intervals of 0.75 g/t Au and 3.30 g/t Ag over 134.2m, and 0.67 g/t Au and 12.79 g/t Ag over 105.4m in drill hole SP24-011, and demonstrate significant upside potential to further extend mineralization with continuity and provide the opportunity to reclassify material that is currently classified as “waste” into “ore” in the proposed run of mine pit design. This could potentially reduce the strip ratio and increase processed ore tonnes.

Birch-Uchi

	·	The Challenger discovery target was further advanced in 2024, with multiple new gold occurrences discovered in the 2024 program. The Challenger target area is one of several high priority exploration targets for the Company, with follow-up work programs under review for 2025.

Duparquet

	·	On July 14, 2025, the Company announced the discovery of the “Minuit” zone, located 75m north of the historical Donchester Mine, that returned multiple significant intercepts in drill hole DUP25-059, highlighted by 2.25 g/t Au over 12.8m, including 4.08 g/t Au over 4.0m. In addition to the new discovery, drill hole DUP25-059 further returned an impressive intersection of 1.21 g/t Au over 60.2m, including 4.1 g/t Au over 4.3m, within Zone 3 of the Project’s current resource area, validating large scale continuity of modelled gold mineralization striking east-west at the southern contact of the Beattie Syenite.
	·	On May 28, 2025, the Company announced initial drilling results from the 2025 drill program which confirmed and expanded the known extent of mineralization at the newly discovered Miroir target and intersected the depth extension of mineralization at the Valentre target. Highlights include near surface mineralization intercepts from drill hole DUP25-052 that returned 2.77 g/t Au over 11.1m, including 4.36 g/t Au over 6.5m, and drill hole DUP25-054 that returned 1.41 g/t Au over 11.9m, including 2.52 g/t Au over 5.25m.
	·	On April 28, 2025, the Company announced the addition of a second drill rig during the month of April to further advance progress on its 18,000m drill program.
	·	On March 5, 2025, the Company announced the largest exploration drill program undertaken since acquiring full ownership of the Project in 2022, with the aim of completing an approximate 18,000m of exploration drilling this year, focusing on advancing priority targets that are aligned to resource growth potential and further unlocking a regional gold endowment supportive of future development optionality at the Project.
	·	On January 20, 2025, the Company announced new drilling results from the 2024 Phase 3 diamond drilling program. The Company identified two new discovery gold zones during the expansion drilling at the Valentre target. Assay results for the newly discovered “Miroir Zone” located north of the Valentre target, returned 3.12 g/t Au over 19.35m, including 5.47 g/t Au over 9.6m. A second discovery, the “Aiguille Zone”, occurred south of the Valentre target, returning 8.99 g/t Au over 3.1m.

Springpole Exploration

Exploration activities at Springpole concluded at the end of 2024 with the completion of the Springpole East Extension Phase 1 drilling program, of which the final drilling results were reported in February 2025. The 2025 focus for Springpole Exploration is around further reviewing, integrating and interpreting the recent drilling results and delineating follow up programs. Exploration field work programs also commenced in June 2025 with the focus on further advancing the geological data resolution around the core project footprint in support of future geological model updates.

Highlights from the East Extension Phase 1 drilling campaign include drill holes SP24-007, SP24-009, and SP24-011, all of which returned favourable gold and silver grades that are representative of the established resource grade profile. The most northerly hole of the program, SP24-011, returned two broad mineralization intervals including 0.75 g/t Au and 3.30 g/t Ag over 134.2m, and 0.67 g/t Au and 12.79 g/t Ag over 105.4m. The program was successful in returning significant widths of continuous mineralization in an underexplored area of the Springpole Project located within the current PFS open-pit development footprint. Results demonstrate significant upside potential to further extend mineralization with continuity and provide the opportunity to reclassify material that is currently classified as “waste” into “ore” in the proposed run of mine (“ROM”) pit design. This could potentially reduce the strip ratio and increase processed ore tonnes.

Technical Programs

First Mining continues to be engaged and readying a number of significant technical programs to further optimize the development plan for Springpole project scope supporting a Feasibility Study (“FS”) process.  These programs include FS-level metallurgical test work, geotechnical and site investigation work to support pit slope, dike and Co-Disposal Facility design, revisions to the PFS mine plan, an update to the Mineral Resource estimate, completion of a power connectivity study, exploring renewable power generation opportunities, additional environmental data collection, and predictive environmental effects modelling and studies.

Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Assessment (“EIS/EA”) Review

Consultation and engagement on the Final EIS/EA with Indigenous communities, municipalities, regulators and stakeholders continues following the submission of the Final EIS/EA in Q4 2024. A positive conformity determination was provided by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada which confirmed the Final EIS/EA meets all of the requirements of the federal EIS guidelines, allowing the review of the Final EIS/EA to proceed without delay to the public and technical comment period. Throughout 2025, FMG received over 1,900 comments from the MECP, Ministry of Northern Development, Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturism, Ministry of Energy and Mines, Ministry of Indigenous Affairs and First Nations Economic Reconciliation, Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (“IAAC”), Mishkeegogamanag Ojibway First Nation, Wabauskang First Nation, Slate Falls Nation, Cat Lake First Nation,Lac Seul First Nation and the Ojibway Nation of Saugeen. FMG has resolved the majority of the federal and provincial comments/information requests and continues to respond to the comments and meet with the reviewers to discuss the approach to resolving the outstanding comments. In addition, FMG has continued to progress the Fish Habitat Offsetting and Compensation Plan through review and collaboration with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, as well as input from the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Cat Lake First Nation (“CLFN”)

On October 31, 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into a Process Agreement with CLFN and Lac Seul First Nation (“Lac Seul”) which provides important capacity support for the implementation of a community-based Anishinaabe-Led Impact Assessment (“ALIA”). The Process Agreement represents a significant commitment for First Mining and provides the framework for First Mining, CLFN and Lac Seul to have procedural clarity and meaningful participation in the review of the Springpole Gold Project through the unique cultural perspective of the Anishinaabe people.

In 2025, CLFN and Lac Seul provided their review of the final EIS/EA as part of this process and have had numerous technical, and community meetings with FMG.

Silver Stream with First Majestic Silver Corp.

On July 2, 2020, First Mining closed a Silver Purchase Agreement with First Majestic Silver Corp (“First Majestic”) pursuant to which First Majestic agreed to pay First Mining total consideration of US$22.5 million (“Advance Payment”), in three tranches, for the right to purchase 50% of the payable silver produced from the Springpole Gold Project for the life of the project (“Silver Stream”), which has an initial term of 40 years from closing and is automatically extended by successive 10-year periods as long as the Springpole Gold Project life of mine continues. In addition, upon closing the transaction on July 2, 2020, First Mining issued to First Majestic 30 million common share purchase warrants (subsequently adjusted to 32,050,228) (“First Mining Warrants”) to purchase one First Mining share at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of five years (subsequently re-priced to $0.37). The first two tranches totaling $17.5 million have been paid to First Mining with the final tranche (“Tranche 3”) of US$5 million cash received on March 28, 2025.

On March 14, 2025, the Company and First Majestic agreed to amend the terms of Tranche 3. As part of the amendment, the Company extended the expiry dates of the First Mining Warrants to March 31, 2028, and revised the exercise price to $0.20. Pursuant to the terms of the amended warrants, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the warrants if the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX equals or exceeds $0.30 for 45 consecutive trading days, to a date that is 30 days following the dissemination of a news release announcing the acceleration. All other terms of the warrants remain unchanged. 

Upon receipt of its share of silver production, First Majestic will make cash payments to First Mining for each ounce of silver paid to First Majestic under the Silver Purchase Agreement equal to 33% of the lesser of the average spot price of silver for the applicable calendar quarter, and the spot price of silver at the time of delivery (“Silver Cash Price”), subject to a price cap of US$7.50 per ounce of silver (“Price Cap”). The Price Cap is subject to an annual inflation escalation of 2%, commencing at the start of the third year of production. First Mining has the right to repurchase 50% of the Silver Stream for US$22.5 million at any time prior to the commencement of production at Springpole. The proceeds received by First Mining have been used to advance the Springpole Gold Project through the FS process and will also be used to advance the project through the federal and provincial EA processes.

Birch-Uchi Gold Project, Ontario (Regional exploration acquisitions)

With its Birch-Uchi Gold Project, First Mining consolidated a 74,000 ha mineral tenure through acquisitions and option agreements surrounding its Springpole Project to advance regional scale exploration opportunities. The Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt presents an encouraging opportunity for discovery. Prospective targets in this mineral tenure include the past-producing high-grade Sol d’Or mine, the Swain property, the Vixen North property - located nearby the past-producing Argosy mine, which produced approximately 100,000 oz. at 11.4 g/t Au - and the Birch property, which includes the HGI prospect where historical drilling has intersected gold grades up to 245 g/t.

2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment, Duparquet Gold Project

On September 7, 2023, First Mining announced results of a positive PEA at the Duparquet Gold Project. A NI-43-101 technical report for the PEA was filed on October 20, 2023. The PEA results support a 15,000 tonnes per day open pit and underground mining operation over an 11-year mine life.  The economics of the PEA only consider the Duparquet gold deposit located on the Beattie, Donchester, Central Duparquet and Dumico claim blocks and do not include the mineral resources defined at the Pitt Gold and Duquesne deposits (see Mineral Resource Estimate section). For further details on the Duparquet PEA see the technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report: Preliminary Economic Assessment, Duparquet Gold Project, Quebec, Canada” dated October 20, 2023, which was prepared for First Mining by G Mining Services Inc. in accordance with NI 43-101 and is available under First Mining’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

PEA Highlights

·	$1.07 billion pre-tax NPV5% and $588 million after-tax NPV5% at US$1,800/oz gold (“Au”);
·	24.9% pre-tax IRR; 18.0% after-tax IRR at US$1,800/oz Au;
·	Annual Life-of-Mine (“LOM”) recovered gold production of 233 koz;
·	Total LOM recovered gold of 2.6 Moz over an 11-year mine life;
·	Pre-tax payback of 3.8 years; after-tax payback of 4.8 years;
·	Initial capital costs estimated at $706 million; sustaining and underground development capital costs estimated at $738 million; and
·	Average annual LOM Total Cash Cost of US$751/oz(1); average annual LOM All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) of US$976/oz.(2)
	(1) Total Cash Costs consist of mining costs, processing costs, mine-level G&A, treatment and refining charges and royalties. (2) AISC includes total cash costs plus sustaining capital, development capital and closure costs.

The reader is advised that the PEA is preliminary in nature and is intended to provide only an initial, high-level review of the Project potential and design options. The PEA mine plan and economic model include numerous assumptions and the use of Inferred mineral resources. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and to be used in an economic analysis except as allowed for in PEA studies. There is no guarantee that Inferred resources can be converted to Indicated or Measured resources, and as such, there is no certainty that the PEA or Project economics described herein will be realized or achieved.

Economic Sensitivities

The Project economics and cash flows are highly sensitive to changes in the price of gold, for further details please refer to the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024, available at www.sedarplus.ca.

Mineral Resource Estimate

Following the updated Mineral Resource Estimates at Pitt Gold and Duquesne, in August 2023 the consolidated Duparquet Project contains 3.44 million ounces of gold in the Measured & Indicated category, grading 1.55 g/t Au, and an additional 2.64 million ounces of gold in the Inferred category, grading 1.62 g/t Au (see Table 3).

Exploration Program

First Mining has been actively advancing exploration at the Duparquet Gold Project since 2023. The maiden diamond drilling program, completed in 2023, totaled 6,963m in 17 holes, with results supporting the delineation of several significant discoveries and follow-up targets. Drilling continued through 2024, with an additional 31 holes and over 12,420m drilled, with results further advancing resource extension opportunities, and discovery of new zones. 

In early March, First Mining commenced its 2025 exploration program at Duparquet with the Phase 3B winter program, consisting of one drill rig targeting the recent discovery zone, Miroir, and following up on further extensional opportunities at the Central Duparquet-Valentre-Dumico target area.  The Company brought on a second drill rig in Q2 2025 for the start of the Phase 4 program, and is focusing on further advancing select priority targets (North Zone, Buzz, Miroir, Aiguille, and South Zone), for resource growth potential and regional target discovery opportunities.

The 2025 drilling has focused on expanding known mineralized zones and testing new areas of interest. At the Miroir discovery zone, located near surface, recent drilling has extended the gold-bearing structure to approximately 100m along strike. Notable results include drill hole DUP25-052 that returned 2.77 g/t Au over 11.1m, including 4.36 g/t over 6.5m, and drill hole DUP25-054 that returned 1.41 g/t Au over 11.9m, including 2.52 g/t over 5.25m. These results build upon earlier drill intercepts in the area, such as 3.12 g/t Au over 19.35m in hole DUP24-048 and support the continued potential for near-surface resource growth.

Drilling has also successfully extended mineralization at the Valentre Target, located approximately 225m south of Miroir. Recent results from drill hole DUP25-054 confirmed the presence of high-grade gold mineralization at depth, with 3.96 g/t Au over 9.3m, including 5.71 g/t over 5.8m at a vertical depth of 330m. These results confirm the continuity of the mineralized system at Valentre and demonstrate the potential for further expansion at depth.

Highlights from the most recent drilling (reported 14 July 2025) include the newly discovered “Minuit” zone, located 75m north of the historical Donchester Mine, that returned multiple significant intercepts in drill hole DUP25-059, highlighted by 2.25 g/t Au over 12.8m, including 4.08 g/t Au over 4.0m. The discovery was made via a drill hole targeting a western down-dip extension of the South Zone which successfully encountered strong mineralization within an underexplored area located approximately 75m into the footwall of the past-producing Donchester Mine. In addition to the new discovery, drill hole DUP25-059 further returned an impressive intersection of 1.21 g/t Au over 60.2m, including 4.1 g/t Au over 4.3m, within Zone 3 of the Project’s current resource area, validating large scale continuity of modelled gold mineralization striking east-west at the southern contact of the Beattie Syenite.

Environmental and Permitting

First Mining has initiated discussions with the relevant Quebec ministries to address environmental and legacy issues as part of the redevelopment of the property.  On February 15, 2023, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary received a Notice of Non-Compliance from the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight Against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (“MELCCFP”) in Quebec regarding historical storage of mine byproduct material on the Duparquet property. Since acquiring the Duparquet Project, the Company has been proactively working with MELCCFP in respect of this historical environmental issue and on March 31, 2023, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Eldorado Gold Mines filed an initial management plan with MELCCFP. The Company subsequently filed a response to comments made by the MELCCFP on the groundwater monitoring plan for historical tailings on June 30, 2023. Positive discussions with the MELCCFP are ongoing and a permit application was submitted in Q1 2025 to allow for the removal of the historical mine byproduct material and secure storage on a proposed new storage pad at the future processing plant location. The permit for the work was received on July 8, 2025 and the contract was awarded to the approved vendor. Based on the contract, the environmental remediation provision has been increased by $361,400. Construction of the storage pad is anticipated to occur in H2 2025 in preparation for material storage in 2026. Targeted completion of the pad construction is in November 2025. The Company is committed to working in partnership with the municipality of Duparquet, citizens and Indigenous communities.

Future Work Plans

First Mining aims to complete an approximate 18,000m of exploration drilling during 2025 at the Duparquet Gold project, focusing on advancing priority targets that are aligned to resource growth potential which will further unlock an important regional gold endowment supportive of future development optionality. Since April, two drill rigs have been advancing at priority targets, and regional field work has been underway since May. The 2025 program will be the largest exploration drill program undertaken by the Company since acquiring full ownership of the Project in 2022.

	(2)	During Q2 2024, the Company reclassified its equity investment in NexGold Mining Corp to marketable securities as a partial disposition of its interest to strengthen its liquidity position.

Key trends in the quarterly results are as follows:

Net loss – The current period net loss is primarily driven by the $3.5 million fair value loss in Q2 2025 attributed to the Company’s Silver Stream liability, whereas the prior year comparable period net loss is primarily comprised of the $11 million fair value loss in the Silver Stream liability in Q2 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents – The decrease in cash and cash equivalents held at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 was primarily due to cash used in operating activities and at the Company’s mineral projects, particularly at Springpole and Duparquet. This was offset by the receipt of US$5 million from First Majestic.

Total assets – The small increase in total assets held at June 30, 2025, was mainly due to the receipt of the final tranche of US$5 million from First Majestic on March 28, 2025, partially offset by cash used to paydown accounts payable.

Non-current liabilities – Changes predominantly due to the Silver Stream derivative liability fair value movement at each period end date.

Working capital is a non-IFRS measurement with no standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other issuers. For further information, please see the section in this MD&A titled “Non-IFRS Measures – Working Capital” and “Trends in Liquidity, Working Capital, and Capital Resources".

Key reasons for variances over the prior year comparable period include:

	·	Cash used in operating activities was relatively consistent over the prior year.
	·	Cash flows related to investing activities during the current period were primarily impacted by the mineral property expenditures, whereas the prior year cash flows were impacted by mineral property expenditures, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.
	·	Working capital is lower at the end of the current period primarily due to the lower cash and marketable securities balances.

Trends in Liquidity, Working Capital, and Capital Resources

As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,190,000 (December 31, 2024 - $11,351,000), negative working capital of $330,000 (December 31, 2024 - positive $744,000) which is calculated as current assets less current liabilities and accumulated a deficit of $204,992,000 (December 31, 2024 - $180,895,000). The Company had an adjusted working capital balance of $3,644,000 (December 31, 2024 - $4,718,000) when the 10% Option on PC Gold with Firefly from current liabilities, as it does not require a cash outlay. An unspent flow-through expenditure of $1,300,000 (December 31, 2024 - $4,197,000) is required to be spent by December 31, 2025.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $24,097,000 (2024 - $28,865,000) and used cash in operating activities of $2,920,000 (2024 - $2,445,000). The Company’s operations to date have been financed by the issuance of common shares, sale of investments, assets, and royalties and the exercise of stock options. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and liquidate its investments as necessary. On July 22, 2025, the Company closed a public offering for gross proceeds of $12,000,600. In addition, on August 5, 2025, the Company closed a private placement totaling approximately $24,437,000, which included flow-through unit proceeds of $7,334,000, to further support its capital requirements.

Reconciliation of the Use of Proceeds

The analysis below relates to the two public financings completed by the Company in 2024. The net proceeds were $7,163,000 from the Bought Deal financing closed in September 2024 and $7,204,000 from the Base Shelf Prospectus closed in October 2024.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, net of transaction costs in some cases. Fair value is based on quoted market prices unless the financial instruments are not traded in an active market. In this case, the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques like the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other valuation techniques. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the classification of the financial instrument. A description of the Company’s financial instruments and their fair value is included in Financial Statements, filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Risks related to financial instruments are discussed under Risks and Uncertainties.

In the normal course of business, the Company is inherently exposed to certain financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, through the use of financial instruments.  The timeframe and the manner in which we manage these risks varies based upon our assessment of these risks and available alternatives for mitigation.  We do not acquire or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  All transactions undertaken are to support our operations.

Risks Related to Financial Instruments

The Company thoroughly examines the various financial instruments and risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks include market risk (including equity price risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk, and capital risk. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board.

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management objectives and policies. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as much as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk includes equity price risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.

Equity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding investments in equity securities of 3 other mineral property related companies. Given the current holdings, the exposure risk is not significant.

If the fair value of our investments in equity instruments designated as fair value through other comprehensive income had been 10% higher or lower as at June 30, 2025, other comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 would have decreased or increased, respectively, by $59,000 (2024 - $285,000).

(Presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated)	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. As at June 30, 2025, the Company was exposed to currency risk on the following financial instruments denominated in US$. The sensitivity of the Company’s net loss due to changes in the exchange rate between the US$ against the Canadian dollar is included in the table below in Canadian dollar equivalents:

(in $000s)		June 30, 2025
Cash, cash equivalents		$	454
Net exposure		$	454
Effect of +/- 10% change in currency		$	45

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 that are subject to fluctuations in market interest rates. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash and cash equivalents held with chartered Canadian financial institutions. The Company manages its interest rate risk by maximizing the interest income earned on excess funds while maintaining the necessary liquidity to conduct its day-to-day operations. The Company considers this risk to be immaterial.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is subject to commodity price risk from fluctuations in the market prices for gold and silver. Commodity price risks are affected by many factors that are outside the Company’s control including global or regional consumption patterns, the supply of and demand for metals, speculative activities, the availability and costs of metal substitutes, inflation, and political and economic conditions. The financial instruments impacted by commodity prices are the Silver Stream derivative liability and indirectly the PC Gold Option held relating to the net dilution from Firefly Metals Ltd completing its additional 10% equity interest in PC Gold and reducing First Mining’s ownership to 20%. The Company’s net loss sensitivity changes in commodity price risk would have increased or decreased by approximately $5.6 million if the commodity price had been 10% higher or lower as at June 30, 2025.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments which are potentially subject to credit risk for the Company consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, short-term investments and the reclamation deposit. The Company considers credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to be immaterial as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are mainly held through high credit quality major Canadian financial institutions as determined by ratings agencies. As a result, the Company does not anticipate any credit losses.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it will have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by preparing annual estimates of exploration and administrative expenditures and monitoring actual expenditures compared to the estimates to ensure that there is sufficient capital on hand to meet ongoing obligations.

See the section in this MD&A titled “Financial Liabilities and Commitments” for a summary of the maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities as at June 30, 2025, based on the undiscounted contractual cash flows. As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,190,000 (December 31, 2024 - $11,351,000) (please refer to the section in this MD&A titled “Trends in Liquidity, Working Capital, and Capital Resources”).

NON-IFRS MEASURES

Alternative performance measures in this document such as “cash cost”, “AISC” and “AIC” are furnished to provide additional information. These non-IFRS performance measures are included in this MD&A because these statistics are used as key performance measures that management uses to monitor and assess future performance of the Springpole Gold Project, and to plan and assess the overall effectiveness and efficiency of mining operations.

The Company has included certain non-IFRS measures in the annual and quarterly information tables above for the calculation of the working capital as current assets less current liabilities. The Company believes that these measures provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the performance of the Company.

Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards. Therefore, such measures may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company’s Management, with the participation of its CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in the SEC’s rules and the rules of the Canadian Securities Administrators. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of annual financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Company’s internal control is effective. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

	·	address maintaining records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;
	·	provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards;
	·	provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and the Company’s Directors; and
	·	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Financial Statements.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls during the six months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

LIMITATIONS OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s Management, including the CEO and CFO, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any control system is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
