Financial Condition / Capital Resources

During the three months ended July 31, 2025, the Company recorded a net loss of $611,307 and, as of July 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $51,812,349 and working capital of $679,695. The Company maintains its Woxna Graphite mine in a “production-ready” basis while minimizing costs. The Company is also evaluating a potential restart of flake graphite concentrate production. The Company anticipates that it has sufficient funding to meet anticipated levels of corporate administration and overheads for the ensuing twelve months however, it will need additional capital to provide working capital and recommence operations at the Woxna Graphite, to fund future development of the Norra Kärr Property or to complete exploration activities in Romania. There is no assurance such additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. In the longer term the recoverability of the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to preserve its interest in the underlying mineral property interests, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations and the ability of the Company to obtain financing to support its ongoing exploration programs and mining operations.

Outlook

Current geopolitical dynamics have elevated critical raw materials to ongoing international prominence. As nations and corporations work to establish supply chains independent of China, the Company's Norra Kårr and Woxna Graphite projects remain strategically positioned within this evolving landscape.

In the rare earth elements sector, the European Union successfully negotiated a relaxation of China's export restrictions on 24 July, following measures initially imposed in April. This development underscores the urgent requirement for dependable and secure critical raw materials supply chains. The earlier export restrictions led to substantial price increases for heavy rare earth elements, particularly dysprosium and terbium, due to their limited availability outside of Chinese sources. Norra Kårr's heavy rare earth element profile positions it as directly relevant to addressing these supply constraints.

International governments—including the United States, Canada, and Australia—are actively supporting rare earth element mining initiatives through financial backing and structured pricing mechanisms, including price floors and long-term purchase agreements. These coordinated efforts are strengthening investor confidence while establishing the critical supply infrastructure necessary to counterbalance China's market dominance, built over decades through comprehensive state-directed industrial policy.

Woxna Graphite Mine

The Company maintains the Woxna Graphite Mine in production-ready condition while keeping operational holding costs to a minimum.

In partnership with an engineering consultant, the Company is currently updating its internal production restart study, which was initially completed in 2022. Recent crushing tests on Woxna ore have been successfully completed to investigate enhanced liberation techniques and better preservation of graphite flakes. Metallurgical testing is now underway on this material to assess potential improvements to the processing facility that could maximize operational efficiency.

The Company's goal is to deliver premium-quality, high-grade flake graphite concentrate. Market interest remains strong, reinforcing confidence in Woxna's commercial potential.

This comprehensive technical work will inform the creation of an updated business plan, and it is hoped enable project financing discussions, including potential access to Swedish or European Union public funding programmes.

Norra Kärr Heavy Rare Earth Element (“HREE”) Project

Throughout the summer months, the Company has been responding to feedback from the County Administrative Boards of Jönköping and Östergötland regarding its application for a new Exploitation Concession ("Bearbetningskoncession") - a 25-year mining lease for the Norra Kårr project. The Company must submit its comprehensive responses to the Chief Mining Inspector by 20 September and anticipates a decision in Q4 2025.

Concurrent with the mining lease approval process, Pre-feasibility Study ("PFS") activities are progressing across multiple fronts. This includes mineral processing trials designed to optimize HREE-rich eudialyte mineral concentrate production, as well as development of industrial mineral nepheline syenite products. A comprehensive market evaluation for nepheline syenite applications is also in preparation. The Company is targeting PFS completion during H1 2026.

Bihor Sud Nickel-Cobalt Exploration Project

Following the substantial addition of ownership and operational permits for the Avram Iancu mine within the exploration area, the Company is reassessing its highest-value prospects. The Avram Iancu site benefits from extensive historical mining and exploration activities that have established hundreds of kilometres of underground galleries and workings. Historical data indicates the presence of massive sulphide zones within carbonate-replacement deposits, featuring primary copper-bearing minerals such as chalcocite and bornite.

A Competent Person Report is currently under development, while management concurrently explores alternative financing options to advance project development. This technical report will consolidate the substantial work completed to date and establish a clear roadmap for the project.

Financial Information

The report for three months ending July 31, 2025, is expected to be published on or about September 19, 2025.
