| DAKOTA GOLD CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) |
NOTE 1 - Organization and Nature of Business
Organization
Dakota Gold Corp., ("we," "us", "our," "the Company," "Dakota Gold" or "DGC") was incorporated as JR Resources Corp. ("JR") on November 15, 2017 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia, Canada). We focus our business efforts on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in the United States of America ("U.S."). On May 22, 2020, we completed the domestication process and changed our registration from the Province of British Columbia, Canada to the State of Nevada. On March 31, 2022, the Company completed a merger with Dakota Territory Resource Corp., a Nevada corporation ("Dakota Territory" or "DTRC"). On May 14, 2024, following the receipt of approval by our stockholders, we changed our state of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. The Company currently operates in one segment, mineral exploration in the United States.
Liquidity
The Company's mineral properties are at the exploration stage and are without declared mineral reserves or mineral resources, except for the mineral resource estimate contained in the Company's S-K 1300 Initial Assessment and Technical Report Summary for the Richmond Hill Project, which was prepared in accordance with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("S-K 1300"), and which was completed in February 2025 and updated and revised with economic analysis in July 2025 (the "Richmond Hill Initial Assessment"). Our mineral properties have not generated revenues. The business of mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines (see "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024). Major expenditures are required to establish ore reserves, to develop metallurgical processes, to acquire construction and operating permits, and to construct mining and processing facilities. The amounts shown as mineral rights and properties represent acquisition and holding costs and do not necessarily represent present or future recoverable values. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral rights and properties is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing to complete exploration of the properties, discovery of economically recoverable reserves, development of the properties and future profitable operations or through sale of the assets.
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (the "financial statements") have been prepared on the assumption that the Company and our subsidiaries will continue as a going concern, meaning we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had not advanced our properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day-to-day activities through operations.
The Company's management believes our cash balance of approximately $
NOTE 2 - Summary of Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements of the Company have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent year ended December 31, 2024, as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, have been omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements of the Company and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
Basis of Consolidation
These financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 include the accounts of the Company and the following
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, requiring entities to disclose more detailed information about income tax expense (benefit), significant components of income tax expense (benefit), and separate disclosure of income tax expense (benefit) for domestic and foreign jurisdictions and by major jurisdictions. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 as of January 1, 2025, and the corresponding impacts will be reflected in the annual disclosures connected to income taxes.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements in effect which may impact its financial statements and does not believe there are any other new pronouncements issued that have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated events after September 30, 2025 and through the date the financial statements were issued and determined any events and transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these financial statements.

NOTE 8 - Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similarly except that weighted average common shares are increased to reflect all dilutive instruments, including employee and director stock awards and warrants. Dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding if their effect would be anti-dilutive based on the treasury stock method or due to a net loss from operations.
The following shares were potentially dilutive during the periods presented and include shares from warrants and stock options with average prices of common stock exceeding exercise prices. However, the shares from these securities were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, because the Company incurred net losses and the effect would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

NOTE 9 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company may become party to various legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of our business. The Company is subject to audit by tax and other authorities for varying periods in various federal, state and local jurisdictions, and disputes may arise during the course of these audits. It is impossible to determine the ultimate liabilities that the Company may incur resulting from any of these potential lawsuits, claims, proceedings, audits, commitments, contingencies and related matters or the timing of these liabilities, if any. If such matters were to ultimately be resolved unfavorably, it is possible that such an outcome could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company does not, however, anticipate such an outcome and we believe the ultimate resolution of any such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
NOTE 10 - Segment Information
We have organized our operations into
Dakota Gold's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our chief executive officer. Exploration and general and administrative expenses, which are reported on the income statement and reconciles to net loss therein, are the measures of loss used by the CODM to allocate resources to our exploration and evaluation activities, and the CODM monitors budget versus actual results to assess the performance of the segment. The CODM also reviews expenditures for any capital or long-lived asset acquisitions, which are included in the statement of cash flows. Total segment assets are reported on the balance sheet. Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the CODM manages our segment, evaluates financial results, and makes key operating decisions.
The significant segment expenses for the Exploration and Evaluation operating segment within exploration expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM are drilling and drilling related costs, study costs and labor. Within general and administration expenses, the significant expenses are labor costs.

As the Company is an exploration stage company as defined under S-K 1300 and has not generated revenues to date, our business is subject to numerous contingencies and risk factors beyond our control, including exploration and development risks, competition from well-funded competitors, and our ability to manage growth.
Overview
The Company's goal is to create stockholder value through the acquisition, responsible exploration, and future development of high caliber gold properties in the Homestake District of South Dakota. Management and the technical teams cumulatively have several hundred years of international mining and exploration experience and key personnel have more than 50 combined years in the Homestake District, mostly with the Homestake Mining Company, as well as other exploration companies that have operated in the region. We believe that this experience uniquely positions the Company and will allow us to leverage our direct experience and knowledge of past exploration and mining activities in the Homestake District. Combined with the use of modern exploration and mining techniques, and new geologic understanding from experience in other mines, new research and information extracted from our new geophysical surveys, we hope to focus our programs and build upon where the historic Homestake Mining Company left off in the 1990s.
17
The Homestake District has historically yielded approximately 45 million ounces of gold production as of September 30, 2025 with most of it coming from within a small geographic area. The production ledges of the Homestake Mine define a cumulative surface projection area of less than three square miles. Homestake Mining Company's historic gold production and exploration in the Homestake District was overwhelmingly focused on the underground mine. Outside of the mine area, the Homestake District has been underexplored and heretofore has not been the subject of modern exploration efforts required to search for other deposits, especially under the cover of younger rocks that dominate the surface.
We have consistently pursued a strategy of expanding our portfolio of brownfield properties located exclusively within the Homestake District to build a strong land position with the goal of consolidating possible mineral potential.
Other than our mineral resource estimate with an effective date of February 3, 2025 contained in our Richmond Hill Initial Assessment, none of our other properties are sufficiently drilled to prepare an estimate of mineral resources under S-K 1300. The Company believes the Homestake District is in a safe, low-cost jurisdiction with well-developed infrastructure and is in a favorable regulatory environment in which authorities have consistently demonstrated a willingness to work with responsible operators to permit well-planned compliant projects.
Drill Programs and Results
We expanded our drilling operations to the Richmond Hill Project and have had up to four drill rigs operating at any point in time. Dakota Gold has completed permit applications and environmental field work and currently has fourteen active permits in place with one additional permit being processed for Richmond Hill in 2025. Of the fourteen existing permits and the one in process, five are for the Maitland Project, seven are for the Richmond Hill Project, one is for the City Creek Project and one is for the Cambrian Unconformity Project. Permitting for other exploration targets is not anticipated through the remainder of 2025.
In total, Dakota Gold has completed 424 holes for over 470,277 feet (143,340 meters) since drilling started in 2022.
- The Company completed 25 holes for 70,181 feet (21,391 meters) of core drilling on three projects in 2022. The areas drilled in 2022 were the Maitland Project (39,231 feet; 11,958 meters), the Richmond Hill Project (24,865 feet; 7,579 meters), and the Cambrian Unconformity Project (6,084 feet; 1,854 meters).
- The Company then completed 89 holes for 180,727 feet (55,086 meters) of core on two projects in 2023; the areas drilled were the Maitland Project (88,626 feet; 27,013 meters) and the Richmond Hill Project (92,101 feet; 24,184 meters).
- The Company completed 117 holes for 146,691 feet (44,711 meters) of core on two projects during 2024; the areas drilled were the Maitland Project (102,755 feet; 31,320 meters) and the Richmond Hill Project (43,936 feet; 13,392 meters).
- The Company began its 2025 drilling campaign again on April 1, 2025, where the Company currently has two core drills operating. One reverse circulation rotary drill was also operating throughout the third quarter, drilling water monitoring wells for ground water monitoring and for use with the future permitting process.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company has completed 164 core holes for 64,890 feet (14,292 meters) on an infill and metallurgical testing program and 29 reverse circulation rotary holes for 7,788 feet (2,374 meters) as part of the baseline water quality monitoring program at Richmond Hill.
Significant Developments
On October 30, 2024, the Company announced a leadership transition with Robert Quartermain appointed President and Chief Executive Officer as well as Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dakota Gold.
On February 6, 2025, the Company announced that Barrick Gold agreed to extend the option period for both the Richmond Hill option and the Homestake option agreements until December 31, 2028, in return for additional annual cash payments of $170,000 and $340,000, respectively, on each of March 1, 2026, March 1, 2027, and March 1, 2028.
18
On February 6, 2025, the Company announced the updated Richmond Hill Initial Assessment, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K.
On March 25, 2025, the Company announced the successful closing of the Offering, whereby we raised net proceeds of approximately $32.7 million by issuing 12,400,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.83 per share.
On May 19, 2025, the Company announced changes to its senior leadership team and Board of Directors. Jack Henris was appointed President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Dakota Gold effective June 1, 2025 upon the retirement of Gerald Aberle, the Company's prior COO. Todd Kenner and Kevin Puil were appointed to the Board of Directors effective May 15, 2025, and Amy Koenig resigned from the Board of Directors on May 31, 2025 and assumed the role of Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary for Dakota Gold effective June 1, 2025. Mr. Aberle retired as a director of the Company, effective August 8, 2025.
On July 7, 2025, the Company announced an updated and revised Richmond Hill Initial Assessment with cash flow for Richmond Hill ("IACF"). The key parameters are presented below in Table 1. The updated and revised Richmond Hill Initial Assessment was filed by the Company with the SEC as an exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 7, 2025. The updated and revised Richmond Hill Initial Assessment was prepared by an independent group of Qualified Persons with M3 as the Study Manager.

Planned Activities
Following the completion of the updated and revised Richmond Hill Initial Assessment filed on July 7, 2025, the Company is now focused on advancing the Richmond Hill Project through feasibility and is targeting production in late 2029. The Company continues to drill within the potential heap leachable resource boundaries for resource infill and conversion, infrastructure condemnation, detailed geometallurgical characterization, process recovery estimation, and geotechnical characterization for pit walls and infrastructure siting. In addition, the Company has contracted various consultant groups to update historical baseline information to be compliant with current permitting standards. This includes drilling new water monitoring wells throughout the property and generating a more detailed and updated geometallurgical and geohydrologic model for the Richmond Hill Project area. This work will be incorporated into a future feasibility study, targeted for completion in 2027, which will be used to support future mine permitting processes.
At the Maitland project, additional geological modeling is ongoing for the JB and Unionville zones. The work is being used by the Company to plan a drilling campaign that will create a drill density sufficient to define an S-K 1300-compliant resource. A potential drill plan for Maitland in 2026 is being developed and evaluated, while the focus remains on advancing the Richmond Hill Feasibility Study.
We continue to utilize our proprietary geophysical data sets to evaluate both regional and project specific targets and continue to locate and compile historic data sets useful to the Company's exploration programs.
Additional land acquisition will be pursued on an opportunistic basis to enhance the Company's ongoing exploration efforts.
The Company's projects are all in the exploration stage and do not generate revenues. Other than the mineral resource estimate for the Richmond Hill Project contained in the Richmond Hill Initial Assessment, we have not established that any of our other properties or projects contain mineral resources or mineral reserves, as defined under S-K 1300. Expenditure projections are subject to numerous contingencies and risk factors beyond the Company's control, including exploration and development risks, competition from well-funded competitors, and the Company's ability to manage growth and assessments of ongoing exploration activities and results. The Company cannot offer assurance that our budgeted expenses will fall within our projections.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is in the exploration stage and currently does not generate revenue. As such, we finance our operations and the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties through the issuance of common stock, and the Company could be materially adversely affected if we are unable to raise capital because of market or other factors.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of approximately $31.0 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $97.3 million. The Company had a net loss of approximately $10.5 million and $20.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
On March 25, 2025, the Company announced the Offering, whereby we raised net proceeds of approximately $32.7 million by issuing 12,400,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.83 per share.
During the twelve months ending December 31, 2025, the Company anticipates cash expenditures of approximately $25.0 million, including approximately $18.4 million that has already been incurred through September 30, 2025.
Based on the Company's cash balance at September 30, 2025 of approximately $33.0 million and the ability to scale down our exploration program, if needed, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our activities for the next twelve months. The actual timing of expected expenditures is dependent upon several factors, including the management of variable exploration expenditures.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
The Company had losses from operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 totaling approximately $10.9 million and $10.2 million, respectively, and losses before income tax of approximately $10.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively, leading to net losses of approximately $10.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively.
Exploration Expenses
During the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, exploration expenses totaled approximately $7.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The period-over-period decrease primarily related to the reduced level of activity associated with drilling, which resulted in a decrease of approximately $0.4 million compared to same period in 2024. In addition, payroll, assay costs, and equipment expenditures decreased by activity of $0.4 million because of the drilling level incurred during the quarter. These reductions were partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in expenditures on studies and reports as the Company moves ahead with its metallurgical test program as well as an increase of $0.2 million in expenditures on site access. Included in exploration costs were stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were approximately $3.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, an increase of approximately $0.8 million. These expenditures were primarily for legal, accounting, and professional fees, investor relations, and other general and administrative expenses necessary for the Company's operations. The period-over-period increase is primarily related to an increase of $0.9 million in expenditures on support costs, which are higher than the prior year comparable period primarily due to marginally higher compensation costs related to the successful completion of the IACF and 2025 financing as well as legal and other fees relating to filing the Company's new registration statement on Form S-3.
Other Income and Expense
The Company earned interest income from bank accounts of approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
The Company had losses from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 totaling approximately $21.5 million and $28.2 million, respectively, and losses before income tax of approximately $20.7 million and $27.9 million, respectively, leading to net losses of approximately $20.7 million and $27.8 million, respectively.
Exploration Expenses
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, exploration expenses totaled approximately $14.6 million and $20.8 million, respectively. The period-over-period decrease primarily related to the reduced level of activity associated with drilling prior to the Offering proceeds, which resulted in a decrease of approximately $5.7 million compared to same period in 2024. In addition, payroll, assay costs, and equipment also decreased by approximately $1.7 million because of the lower level of drilling. These reductions were partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million in expenditures on studies and reports as the Company moves ahead with its metallurgical test program, an increase of $0.4 million in expenditures on permitting and environmental costs as part of the resumption of drilling and an increase of $0.3 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Included in exploration costs were stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
21
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were approximately $6.9 million and $7.5 million, respectively, a decrease of approximately $0.6 million. These expenditures were primarily for legal, accounting, and professional fees, investor relations, and other general and administrative expenses necessary for our operations. The period-over-period decrease is primarily related to a decrease of $0.4 million in investor relations costs, which were higher in the prior year comparable period as the Company was closing a financing, and a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million in expenditures on support costs, which were higher than the prior year comparable period primarily due to marginally higher compensation costs related to the successful completion of the IACF and 2025 financing as well as legal and other fees relating to filing the registration statement Form S-3.
Other Income and Expense
We earned interest income from bank accounts of approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $18.4 million compared to approximately $23.9 million in the prior year comparable period. The Company was not drilling in the first quarter of 2025, the primary driver of higher operating expenses, as the Company was focused on the Richmond Hill Initial Assessment.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.3 million compared to $0.6 million in the prior year comparable period, due to lower expenditures on purchases of property and equipment and mineral properties.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash from financing activities totaled approximately $42.3 million, as the Company issued 2,548,713 shares of common stock under the ATM Program for net proceeds of approximately $7.3 million, 12,400,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $32.7 million pursuant to the Offering, 1,423,153 shares of common stock for the exercise of warrants for proceeds of approximately $3.0 million and 50,000 shares of common stock for the exercise of stock options for proceeds of approximately $0.1 million. In addition, the Company issued 91,710 common shares for the exercise of options settled on a cashless basis.

Critical Accounting Estimates
This MD&A of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Preparation of financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions and historical experience, which are believed to be reasonable; however, due to the inherent nature of estimates, actual results may differ significantly due to changed conditions or assumptions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that the Company's consolidated financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from the Company's assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Management believes that the following critical accounting estimates and judgments have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements; valuation of options granted to directors and officers using Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo models. The Company's accounting policies are described in greater detail in Note 2 to the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Annual Report.
