In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2026 and 2025, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS").

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company has accumulated losses since inception, has no source of significant revenues and has not yet achieved profitable operations. As stated in Note 1, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing to fund the Company's exploration and development programs. These matters, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

In addition to the matter described in Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there is the following key audit matter to communicate in our auditor's report:

Key audit matter: How our audit addressed the key audit matter:
Assessment of impairment indicators of Exploration and evaluation assets.
 
Our approach to addressing the matter included the following procedures, among others:
Refer to: note 3 - Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions; note 4 - Material accounting policy information: Exploration and evaluation costs; and note 7 - Exploration and evaluation assets
 
Management assesses at each reporting period whether there is an indication that the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets may not be recoverable. Management applies significant judgment in assessing whether indicators of impairment exist that necessitate impairment testing. Internal and external factors, such as (i) a significant decline in the market value of the Company's share price; (ii) changes in the Company's assessment of whether commercially viable quantities of mineral resources exist within the properties; and (iii) changes in metal prices, capital and operating costs, are evaluated by management in determining whether there are any indicators of impairment.
 
We considered this a key audit matter due to (i) the significance of the exploration and evaluation asset balance and (ii) the significant audit effort and subjectivity in applying audit procedures to assess the factors evaluated by management in its assessment of impairment indicators, which required significant management judgement.
Evaluated the reasonableness of management's assessment of impairment indicators, which included the following:
  • Assessed the Company's market capitalization in comparison to the Company's net assets, which may be an indication of impairment.

  • Assessed the completeness of the factors that could be considered indicators of impairment, including consideration of evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

  • Confirmed that the Company's right to explore the properties had not expired. 

  • Obtained management's written representations regarding the Company's future plans for the exploration and evaluation assets.

  • Assessed the reasonability of the Company's financial statement disclosure regarding their exploration and evaluation assets. 

 


 

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis" but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:


We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is William Nichols.

Apex Critical Metals Corp.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended July 31, 2026 and 2025
(expressed in Canadian dollars)


 

1. NATURE AND CONTINUATION OF OPERATIONS

Apex Critical Metals Corp. (“Apex” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 2, 2018, under the Company Act of British Columbia and is in the business of acquiring, exploring, developing and evaluating mineral resource properties. The Company is in the exploration stage and has interests in properties located in Canada and the United States. The head office, and principal address of the Company are located at 400 – 570 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3P1, and the registered and records office of the Company is located at Suite 2501 – 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2B5. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the trading symbol “APXC”, Euronext Access Paris under the trading symbol “MLAPX”, the OTCQX Best Market (“OTCQX”) under the trading symbol “APXCF”, and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “KL9”, and the Company’s American Depositary Shares (each representing six common shares) are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “APXC”.

The Company has no source of significant revenues, has not yet achieved profitable operations, has working capital of $11,938,776 as at July 31, 2026 (July 31, 2025: $4,880,247), has accumulated losses since its inception, expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, and has no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further exploration of its mineral properties, beyond what the Company’s current working capital will allow. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In recognition of these circumstances, management is pursuing various financial alternatives to fund the Company’s exploration and development programs. There is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.  The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations.

In the future, the Company may raise additional financing through the issuance of share capital or shareholder loans; however, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in its efforts to do so and that the terms will be favourable to the Company. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications should the Company be unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then possible material adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for cash and cash equivalents which are reflected at fair value as set out in the accounting policies below. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Elk Creek Rare Earths Corp.  Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect those returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company and are de-consolidated from the date control ceases. The consolidated financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Estimates and assumptions

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty considered by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements includes:

  • The recoverability of the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest;
  • Management's assumption that there are currently no decommissioning liabilities is based on the facts and circumstances that have existed during the periods; and
  • Determination of fair market value of common shares issued in exchange for exploration and evaluation assets.

Judgments

The critical judgments that the Company’s management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies from those involving estimations that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are as follows:

  • Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of exploration, evaluation and development costs: Management has determined that exploratory drilling, evaluation, development and related costs incurred which have been capitalized are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit including geologic information, scoping and feasibility studies, accessible facilities, existing permits and life of mine plans;
  • The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment regarding future funding available for its exploration projects and working capital requirements; and
  • The determination of subsidiary’s functional currency often requires significant judgment where the primary economic environment in which they operate may not be clear.

 

4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s and its subsidiary’s presentation currency and functional currency is the Canadian dollar as this is the principal currency of the economic environment in which it operates.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the Company's functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the end of each reporting period.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions and are not subsequently restated.  Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value is determined.

All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of balances with its bank and a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (“GIC”) held at a large brokerage firm.

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in fair value to be cash equivalents.

Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation activities involve the search for minerals, the determination of technical feasibility, and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource.

Exploration and evaluation costs incurred prior to obtaining licenses are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.  Once the legal right to explore has been acquired, exploration and evaluation costs incurred are capitalized.  All capitalized exploration and evaluation costs are recorded at acquisition cost and are monitored for indications of impairment.  Where there are indications of a potential impairment, an assessment is performed for recoverability.  Capitalized costs are charged to the statement of operations and comprehensive loss to the extent that they are not expected to be recovered.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment and transferred to "Mines under construction".  There is no amortization during the exploration and evaluation phase.

Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

 

Impairment of non-current assets

Non-current assets are evaluated at least annually by management for indicators that carrying value is impaired and may not be recoverable.  When indicators of impairment are present the recoverable amount of an asset is evaluated at the level of a cash generating unit (CGU), the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets, where the recoverable amount of a CGU is the greater of the CGU's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.  An impairment loss is recognized in income to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

In calculating the recoverable amount, the Company uses discounted cash flow techniques to determine fair value when it is not possible to determine fair value either by quotes from an active market or a binding sales agreement.  The determination of discounted cash flows is dependent on a number of factors, including future metal prices, the amount of reserves, the cost of bringing the project into production, production schedules, production costs, sustaining capital expenditures, and site closure, restoration and environmental rehabilitation costs.  Additionally, the reviews take into account factors such as political, social and legal and environmental regulations.  These factors may change due to changing economic conditions or the accuracy of certain assumptions and, hence, affect the recoverable amount.  The Company uses its best efforts to fully understand all of the aforementioned to make an informed decision based upon historical and current facts surrounding the projects.  Discounted cash flow techniques often require management to make estimates and assumptions concerning reserves and expected future production revenues and expenses.

Mining tax credits

Mining tax credits and mining duties are recorded in the accounts when they are received.  If and when received, these mining tax credits are recorded as a reduction of the related deferred exploration expenditures.

 

Decommissioning liabilities

A legal or constructive obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs may arise when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development or ongoing production of a mineral property interest.  Such costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided for and capitalized at the start of each project to the carrying amount of the asset, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises.  A pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability are used to calculate the net present value of the expected future cash flows.  These costs are charged to the statement of loss over the economic life of the related asset, through depreciation expense using either the unit-of-production or the straight-line method as appropriate.  The related liability is progressively increased each period as the effect of discounting unwinds, creating an expense recognized in the statement of loss.  The liability is assessed at each reporting date for changes to the current market-based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation.

Costs for restoration of subsequent site damage which is created on an ongoing basis during production are provided for at their net present values and charged against profits as extraction progresses.

The Company has no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs as the disturbance to date is minimal.

 

Share capital

The Company records the proceeds from share issuances net of issue costs and any tax effects as share capital. 

 

Flow‑Through Share Arrangements

Flow‑through shares are a financing mechanism available to corporations engaged in eligible resource activities, including mining, oil and gas, and certain renewable energy or energy conservation projects. Under a flow‑through share agreement, the Company agrees to incur qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenses (“CEE”) or Canadian Development Expenses (“CDE”) and to renounce such expenditures to investors. The renunciation allows investors to deduct the qualifying expenditures for Canadian income tax purposes, even though the expenditures are incurred by the Company.

The Company is required to incur qualifying expenditures in an amount equal to the proceeds received from the issuance of flow‑through shares within the period prescribed under the Income Tax Act (Canada). Once the qualifying expenditures are incurred and renounced, the Company is no longer entitled to claim the related tax deductions. The renunciation may give rise to a deferred tax liability for the Company, as the tax benefits associated with the expenditures are transferred to investors.

The issuance of flow‑through shares typically results in the Company recording a premium liability representing the difference between the subscription price of the flow‑through shares and the fair value of the underlying common shares at the date of issuance. This premium is recognized in income as the qualifying expenditures are incurred and renounced to investors.

The Company evaluates its obligations under flow‑through share agreements at each reporting date, including the requirement to incur qualifying expenditures within the prescribed timeframe. If the Company does not incur qualifying expenditures as required, it may be subject to Part XII.6 tax or other penalties under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

 

Stock-based payments

The Company can grant stock options, RSUs, PSUs, and DSUs to directors, officers and employees.

The fair value of these instruments is measured at grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period of the instruments. The fair value is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in reserves.  The amount recognized as expense is adjusted to reflect the number of instruments expected to vest.

Where the terms of an instrument are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified.  An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the stock-based compensation arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification over the remaining vesting period.

Stock-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received.

Common shares issued for consideration other than cash, are valued based on their market value of the common shares at the date the shares are issued.

 

Earnings (loss) per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings/loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share.  Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments.  It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.  However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.

 

Reclamation deposits

The Company maintains cash deposits as required by regulatory bodies as assurance for the funding of reclamation costs. These funds are restricted to that purpose and are not available to the Company until the reclamation obligations have been fulfilled. Reclamation bonds are classified as non-current assets.

 

Financial instruments 

Financial assets:

The classification of financial assets is based on how the entity manages its financial instruments and contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Transactions costs with respect to financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Cash and cash equivalents are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost.

The Company’s financial assets that are classified as and subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are marketable securities. Fair values are determined by reference to quoted market prices at the statement of financial position date.

Reclamation deposits are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities:

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Due to related parties is subsequently measured at amortized cost.

 

Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.  Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control, related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.  A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

 

Income taxes

Income tax on the profit or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income or loss.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.  The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and associates to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.  The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement.

(expressed in Canadian dollars)


 

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, except for IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” discussed below.

On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which introduced new requirements for improved comparability in the statement of profit or loss, enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures and more useful grouping of information in the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to the financial statements.

Upon settlement, RSU holders will receive (a) one fully paid and non-assessable common share in respect of each vested RSU, (b) subject to the approval by the board of directors, a cash payment, or (c) a combination of common shares and cash.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk as a result of its use of financial instruments. This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks and the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

(expressed in Canadian dollars)


 

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Board has implemented and monitors compliance with risk management policies as set out herein:

a) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s cash and receivables are subject to credit risk for a maximum of the amounts shown on the consolidated statements of financial position.  The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. 

The following table shows the Company’s cash holdings at the applicable dates:

   

July 31,

2026

   

July 31,

 2025

 
    $     $  
Cash at banks   8,279,615     5,542,504  
Short-term GIC   6,707,375     -  
Total cash and cash equivalents   14,986,990     5,542,504  

The following table shows the Company’s amounts receivable at the applicable dates:

   

July 31,

 2026

   

July 31,

 2025

 
    $     $  
GST/QST due from the Canadian governments   159,005     119,744  
Accrued interest on short-term GIC   28,300     -  
Due from related party (note 9)   48,961     -  
Total amounts receivable   236,266     119,744  

The Company considers credit risk on its receivables to be minimal as they are primarily due from Canadian governments and large institutions.

b) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company's reputation.

As of July 31, 2026, the Company has total current liabilities of $4,182,080 (July 31, 2025: $1,336,460).  The Company has sufficient working capital to fund these liabilities.

c) Market Risk

Market risk consists of currency risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

I. Foreign Currency Risk and Sensitivity Analysis

Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to items that are denominated in US dollars. As at July 31, 2026, net financial assets (liabilities) totaling $(2,334,739) (July 31, 2025 – $Nil) were denominated in USD. The Company has not entered into any derivatives or contracts to hedge or otherwise mitigate this exposure.

Based on the above net exposure as at July 31, 2026 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 2% depreciation or appreciation of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $47,000 in the Company’s consolidated statement of loss. 

II. Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices.  Commodity prices for minerals are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand as well as the relationship between the Canadian and United States dollar.

As the Company has not yet developed commercial mineral interests, it is not exposed to commodity price risk at this time.

For the years ended July 31, 2026 and 2025
(expressed in Canadian dollars)


 

III. 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 is not exposed to interest rate risk as the Company had no variable interest rate bearing items as at July 31, 2026.

d) Fair Value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The following table summarizes the carrying and hierarchy level for the Company’s financial instruments:

Item

Marketable securities  Level 1   500,000     312,500  
Reclamation bonds  Level 1   127,696     33,000  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities  Level 1   3,545,937     980,596  
Due to related parties  Level 1   636,143     343,561  
 

e) Capital Management

The Company defines capital as share capital.  The Company’s targeted capital structure at July 31, 2026 is 100% share capital, as management believes that such a capital structure is most suitable for an early-stage company.  The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a flexible capital structure which will allow it to pursue the exploration of its mineral properties.  Therefore, the Company monitors the level of risk incurred in its mineral property expenditures relative to its capital structure. The Company monitors its capital structure and may make adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended July 31, 2026.

11. FLOW-THROUGH SHARE PREMIUM LIABILITY

On September 24, 2024, the Company issued 906,346 common shares on a “flow-through” basis at a price of $0.433 per Share for gross proceeds of $392,750.
