FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Except for the statements of historical fact contained herein and in the exhibits hereto, the information presented in this Annual Report on Form 40-F, including the exhibits hereto (collectively, the “Form 40-F”), constitutes forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws (forward-looking information and forward-looking statements being collectively referred to as “Forward-Looking Information”) concerning the business, operations, plans and financial performance and condition of the Registrant. Often, but not always, Forward-Looking Information can be identified by words such as "plans", "expects", "may", "should", "could", "will", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", or variations including negative variations thereof of such words and phrases that refer to certain actions, events or results that may, could, would, might or will occur or be taken or achieved.
Forward-Looking Information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual plans, results, performance or achievements of the Registrant to differ materially from any future plans, results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the Forward-Looking Information. Such factors include, among others: the risks relating to mineral exploration, development and operations; industry conditions; uncertainty of mineral resource and mineral estimates; the results and assumptions underlying the mineral resource estimate and mineral resource on the Cariboo Gold Project; negative operating cash flows; financing risks and additional financing; the ability of the Registrant to meet its financial obligations as they become due; actual operating cash flows, operating costs, free cash flows, total cash, transaction costs, and administrative costs of the Registrant differing materially from those anticipated; failure to obtain licenses, approvals or permitting in a timely manner (or at all); risks relating to project infrastructure requirements and anticipated processing methods, exploration expenditures differing materially from those anticipated; the expected costs to take the Cariboo Gold Project to a positive construction decision (if at all); changes in project parameters; the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; accidents, labour disputes, community and stakeholder protests and other risks of the mining industry risks relating to foreign operations and enforcement of judgements; the potential impact of the Registrant’s projects in local communities and the social acceptability of the projects; risks related to partnership or other joint operations; actual results of current exploration, developing and mining activities; the geology of the Registrant’s properties; variations in mineral resources, mineral production, grades or recovery rates or optimization efforts; uninsured risks, including, but not limited to, pollution, cave-ins or hazards for which insurance cannot be obtained; regulatory changes, defects in title; availability or integration of personnel, materials and equipment; inability to recruit or retain management and key personnel; adequacy and access to required infrastructure, equipment and supplies; unanticipated environmental impacts on operations; sustainability and environmental impacts of operations at the Registrant’s properties; market prices; operating risks associated with the operations or an expansion of the operations; the focus of the Registrant in the future; the ability of the Registrant to complete its objectives for the Cariboo Gold Project, including the timing and ability, if at all, to advance through the next phase of pre-construction and early works milestones toward construction readiness; future mining activities; cybersecurity threats and technological risks; foreign operations risk; impact of any litigation; risks relating to significant shareholder control; dilution due to future equity financings; fluctuations in precious or base metal prices and currency exchange rates; uncertainty relating to future production and cash resources; anticipated timing of events, developments and milestones at the Registrant's properties; inflation; adverse changes to market, political and general economic conditions or laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Registrant; risks relating to climate change; outbreak of diseases and public health crises; risks relating to any imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions; risk of an undiscovered defect in title or other adverse claim; factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors"; and other risks, including those risks set out in the continuous disclosure documents of the Registrant, which are available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on EDGAR (www.sec.gov) under the Registrant's issuer profiles.
In addition, Forward-Looking Information in this Form 40-F is based on certain assumptions and involves risks related to the business of the Registrant, including, but not limited to, interest and exchange rates; the price of gold, silver and other metals; competitive conditions in the mining industry; title to mineral properties; financing and funding requirements; general economic, political and market conditions; and changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Registrant.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Forward-Looking Information. Although the Forward-Looking Information contained in this Form 40-F is based upon what management believes, or believed at the time, to be reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking information, as there may be other factors that cause plans, actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Neither the Registrant nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any such Forward Looking Information.
The Registrant does not undertake, and assumes no obligation to update or revise any such Forward Looking Information contained herein to reflect new events or circumstances, except as may be required by securities laws.

DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES
The Registrant is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Registrant prepares its financial statements, which are filed with this Form 40-F in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS), and the audit is subject to auditing and independence standards in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this Form 40-F are in Canadian dollars. The exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on December 31, 2025, based upon historical rates published by the Bank of Canada was U.S.$1.00 = C$1.37.
Purchasing, holding, or disposing of securities of the Registrant may have tax consequences under the laws of the United States and Canada that are not described in this Annual Report on Form 40-F.
The information incorporated by reference in this Form 40-F uses the terms “mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” as such terms are defined under Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which establishes standards for all public disclosure a Canadian issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.
On October 31, 2018, the SEC adopted new mining disclosure rules (“S-K 1300”) that are more closely aligned with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101, with which the Registrant complies because it is also a “reporting issuer” under Canadian securities laws. While S-K 1300 is more closely aligned with NI 43-101 than the prior mining disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are some differences. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral resources that the Registrant may report as “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under NI 43-101 will be the same as the reserve or resource estimates prepared under S-K 1300. Readers should not assume that any part or all of indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to assume that any “indicated mineral resources”, or “inferred mineral resources” on the Registrant’s projects are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, “inferred resources” have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of “inferred mineral resources” cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.

MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Registrant’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting process is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, the internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the Registrant’s last fiscal year, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the Registrant’s last fiscal year.
ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), emerging growth companies (as defined in the JOBS Act) are exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which generally requires an issuer to provide an independent auditor attestation of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting in its annual report. The Registrant qualified as an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2025 and, consequently, this Form 40-F does not include an attestation report of the Registrant’s independent auditor on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

The Board has determined that David Danziger is an audit committee financial expert and is independent, as that term is defined under the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) listing standards applicable to the Registrant.
The Commission has indicated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person an “expert” for any purpose, impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than those imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board in the absence of such designation and does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or Board.

The Registrant has adopted a written Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that is applicable to all employees, third-party, consultants, officers, including the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, and directors of the Registrant.
All amendments to the Code, and all waivers of the Code with respect to any of the senior officers covered by it, which waiver may be made only by the Board of Directors in respect of senior officers, will be disclosed as required. The Registrant's Code is located on its
