NOTE 1 – BUSINESS
Nature of Operations
Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. (“Western”
or the “Company”) was incorporated in December 2006 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. On November 20, 2014, the
Company completed a listing process on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”). As part of that process, the Company acquired
The Company’s registered office is located at 5 Church Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5E 1M2, and its common shares are listed on the CSE under the symbol “WUC.” On April 22, 2016, the Company’s common shares began trading on the OTC Pink Open Market, and on May 23, 2016, the Company’s common shares were approved for trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol “WSTRF”. The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition and development of uranium and vanadium resource properties in the states of Utah and Colorado in the United States of America (“United States”).
On September 16, 2015, Western completed its acquisition of Black Range Minerals Limited (“Black Range”). Under United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) rules, this transaction triggered the Company being deemed a United States domestic issuer and losing its foreign private issuer exemption. On April 29, 2016, the Company filed a Form 10 registration statement with the Commission after converting its basis of accounting from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). On June 28, 2016, the Company’s registration statement became effective and Western became a United States reporting issuer.
On June 30, 2023, Western re-qualified as a foreign private issuer as that term is defined in Rule 3b-4(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, the Company may now utilize certain accommodations made to foreign private issuers, including (1) an exemption from complying with the Commission’s proxy rules, (2) an exemption from the Company’s insiders having to comply with the reporting and short-swing trading liability provisions of Section 16 under the Exchange Act, (3) the ability to make periodic filings with the Commission on the Form 20-F and Form 6-K foreign issuer forms, and (4) the ability to offer and sell unrestricted securities outside of the United States pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S. The Company intends to take advantage of these accommodations. However, the Company currently has decided to voluntarily continue to file periodic reports with the Commission using domestic issuer forms including filing annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. As of the subsequent measurement date June 30, 2024, Western reconfirmed its qualification as a foreign private issuer for periods ended through December 31, 2025.

Note 2 – Liquidity and going concern
With the exception of the quarter ended June 30,
2022, the Company has incurred losses from its operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company generated
a net loss of $
Since inception, the Company has met its liquidity
requirements principally through the issuance of notes, the sale of its common shares and from limited revenue sources. On October 14,
2025, the Company closed a brokered private placement of
The Company’s ability to continue its planned operations and to pay its obligations when they become due is contingent upon the Company obtaining additional financing. Management’s plans include seeking to procure additional funds through debt and equity financing, to secure regulatory approval to fully utilize its kinetic separation (“Kinetic Separation”) technology, and to initiate the processing of mineral resources to generate operating cash flows.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, or that cash flows generated from its operations will be sufficient to meet its current operating costs. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned product development, which could harm its financial condition and operating results, or it may not be able to continue to fund its ongoing operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on April 15, 2025. Except as reflected below, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Reflected in this note are updates to accounting policies, including the impact of the adoption of new policies.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results have been included in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Commission on April 15, 2025. The Company has voluntarily elected to file this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 notwithstanding its foreign private issuer status. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2025.
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Western and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Western Uranium Corporation (Utah) (“Western Utah”), PRM, Black Range, Black Range Copper Inc., Ranger Resources Inc., Black Range Minerals Inc., Black Range Minerals Colorado LLC, Black Range Minerals Wyoming LLC, Haggerty Resources LLC, Ranger Alaska LLC, Black Range Minerals Utah LLC, Black Range Minerals Ablation Holdings Inc., Black Range Development Utah LLC, Maverick Strategic Minerals Corp (“Maverick”), Pinon Ridge Corporation (“PRC”) and Mustang Mineral Processing Inc. (“Mustang”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company has established the existence of mineralized materials for certain uranium projects. The Company has not established proven or probable reserves, as defined by the Commission, through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study for any of its uranium projects.

Note 3 – SUMMARY OF Significant Accounting Policies, CONTINUED
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). The computation of net loss per share for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is the same for both basic and fully diluted.
Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025, which will result in additional disclosures in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, – Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). This ASU requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statement of operation as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will evaluate the full extent of the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03, but believes it will not have a material impact on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

These mining assets include both owned and leased land in the states of Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming. All of the mining assets represent properties which have previously been mined, to different degrees, for uranium.
As the Company has not formally established proven or probable reserves on any of its properties, there is inherent uncertainty as to whether or not any mineralized material can be economically extracted as originally planned and anticipated.

Topaz Mine Permitting Status
Upon an order from the Mined Land Reclamation Board (“MLRB”) in March 2023, the Topaz Mine was put into reclamation which is scheduled to be completed by March 2028. The Company has been working toward the completion of an updated Topaz Mine Plan of Operations (“Topaz Mine Plan”), which is a separate federal requirement of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) for the conduct of mining activities on the federal land at the Topaz Mine. This is a prerequisite to re-permit the Topaz Mine with Colorado’s DRMS. In connection with the Topaz Mine Plan, an environmental assessment was prepared by an outside consultant and submitted to the BLM on June 24, 2024. The BLM issued a letter to the Company on August 2, 2024 advising that the application for the Topaz Mine Plan had run past its allowed evaluation period and was cancelled. Pursuant to the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, each permitting project has a one year time limit for the BLM to complete a review. Under the transitional rules, the Topaz project was not eligible for an extension due to its duration. However, the project can be resubmitted and be picked up where it was left off.

NOTE 4 – Property, plant & equipment and mineral properties, net AND Kinetic separation INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, continued
Kinetic Separation Intellectual Property
The Kinetic Separation intellectual property was acquired in Western’s acquisition of Black Range on September 16, 2015. Previously Black Range acquired its Kinetic Separation assets in the dissolution of a joint venture on March 17, 2015, through the acquisition of all the assets of the joint venture and received a 25-year license to utilize all of the patented and unpatented technology owned by the joint venture. The technology license agreement for patents and unpatented technology became effective as of March 17, 2015, for a period of 25 years, until March 16, 2040. There are no remaining license fee obligations, and there are no future royalties due under the agreement. The Company has the right to sub-license the technology to third parties. The Company may not sell or assign the Kinetic Separation license; however, the license could be transferred in the case of a sale of the Company. The Company has developed improvements to Kinetic Separation during the term of the license agreement and retains ownership of, and may obtain patent protection on, any such improvements developed by the Company.
The Kinetic Separation patent was filed on September 13, 2012 and granted on February 14, 2014 by the United States Patent Office. The patent is effective for a period of 20 years until September 13, 2032. This patent is supported by two provisional patent applications. The provisional patent applications expired after one year but were incorporated in the U.S. Patent by reference and claimed benefit prior to their expirations. The status of the patent and two provisional patent applications has not changed subsequent to the 2014 patent grant. The Company has the continued right to use any patented portion of the Kinetic Separation technology that enters the public domain subsequent to the patent expiration.
The Company anticipates Kinetic Separation will improve the efficiency of the mining and processing of the sandstone-hosted mined material from Western’s conventional mines through the separation of waste from mineral bearing-ore, potentially reducing transportation, mill processing, and mill tailings costs. Kinetic Separation is not currently in use or being applied at any Company mines. The Company views Kinetic Separation as a cost saving technology, which it will seek to incorporate subsequent to commencing scaled production levels. There are also alternative applications, which the Company has explored.

Overview
General
Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. (“Western” or the “Company”, formerly Western Uranium Corporation) was incorporated in December 2006 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. On November 20, 2014, the Company completed a listing process on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”). As part of that process, the Company acquired 100% of the members’ interests of Pinon Ridge Mining LLC (“PRM”), a Delaware limited liability company. The transaction constituted a reverse takeover (“RTO”) of Western by PRM. Subsequent to obtaining appropriate shareholder approvals, the Company reconstituted its board of directors and senior management team. Western is a Canadian domestic issuer and Canadian reporting issuer.
On August 18, 2014, the Company closed on the purchase of certain mining properties in Colorado and Utah from Energy Fuels Holding Corp. Assets purchased included both owned and leased lands in Utah and Colorado, and all represent properties that have been previously mined for uranium to varying degrees in the past. The acquisition included the purchase of the Sunday Mine Complex. The Sunday Mine Complex is located in western San Miguel County, Colorado. The complex consists of the following five individual mines: the Sunday mine, the Carnation mine, the St. Jude mine, the West Sunday mine and the Topaz Mine. The operation of each of these mines requires a separate permit, and all such permits have been obtained by Western and are currently valid. Notably, for the Topaz Mine, which at the present time is permitted and is scheduled for reclamation, the process is underway for it to be re-permitted. In addition, each of the mines has good access to a paved highway, electric power to existing declines, office/storage/shop and change buildings, and an extensive underground haulage development with several vent shafts complete with exhaust fans. The Sunday Mine Complex is the Company’s core resource property and in July 2021 was assigned “Active” status when mining operations were restarted.
On September 16, 2015, Western completed its acquisition of Black Range, an Australian company that was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange until the acquisition was completed. The acquisition terms were pursuant to a definitive Merger Implementation Agreement entered into between Western and Black Range. Pursuant to the agreement, Western acquired all of the issued shares of Black Range by way of Scheme of Arrangement (“the Scheme”) under the Australian Corporation Act 2001 (Cth) (the “Black Range Transaction”), with Black Range shareholders being issued common shares of Western on a 1 for 750 basis. On August 25, 2015, the Scheme was approved by the shareholders of Black Range, and on September 4, 2015, Black Range received approval by the Federal Court of Australia. In addition, Western issued options to purchase Western common shares to certain employees, directors, and consultants. Such stock options were intended to replace Black Range stock options outstanding prior to the Black Range Transaction on the same 1 for 750 basis.
Under United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) rules, the Black Range transaction triggered the Company being deemed a United States domestic issuer and losing its foreign private issuer exemption. On April 29, 2016, the Company filed a Form 10 registration statement with the Commission after shifting its basis of accounting from IFRS to U.S. GAAP. On June 28, 2016, the Company’s registration statement became effective and Western became a United States reporting issuer.
19
On June 30, 2023, Western re-qualified as a foreign private issuer as that term is defined in Rule 3b-4(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act. As a result, the Company may now utilize certain accommodations made to foreign private issuers, including (1) an exemption from complying with the Commission’s proxy rules, (2) an exemption from the Company’s insiders having to comply with the reporting and short-swing trading liability provisions of Section 16 under the Exchange Act, (3) the ability to make periodic filings with the Commission on the Form 20-F and Form 6-K foreign issuer forms, and (4) the ability to offer and sell unrestricted securities outside of the United States pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S. The Company plans to take advantage of these accommodations. However, the Company currently has decided to voluntarily continue to file periodic reports with the Commission using domestic issuer forms including filing annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. As of the subsequent measurement date, June 30, 2024, Western reconfirmed its qualification as a foreign private issuer for periods ended through December 31, 2025.
The Company has registered offices at 5 Church Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5E 1M2, and its common shares are listed on the CSE under the symbol “WUC” and are traded on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol “WSTRF”. Its principal business activity is the acquisition and development of uranium and vanadium resource properties in the states of Utah and Colorado in the United States of America (“United States”).
Recent Developments
Uranium Markets and Western Strategy
Between July 2024 and August 2025, the uranium term price was in the $80.00 to $81.50 range until its rise to $83/lb in September 2025 and $85/lb in October 2025. The uranium spot market has experienced more volatility, peaking at $106/lb in January 2024, and declining into a 2025 trading range of $64/lb to $78/lb through August 2025. In September 2025 and October 2025 spot prices rallied above $80/lb, before declining back into the 2025 trading range in November 2025. The recent rally was ignited in mid-September by President Trump and DOE Secretary Wright touting U.S. nuclear power and the U.S. domestic fuel cycle, which rallied uranium equity markets. In 2024, Western responded to favorable market conditions by aggressively ramping up operations and expanding production capacity primarily at its 100% owned Sunday Mine Complex. While uranium spot prices weakened late in 2024, we had anticipated a recovery in 2025, supported by the U.S. ban on Russian uranium (effective 2028) and the Trump administration’s strong backing of nuclear energy and domestic mining. The Company’s interpretation of market signals was that uranium markets would stabilize at replacement price levels. However, given recent turbulence in global commodity and financial markets, along with geopolitical uncertainties, we have shifted to a more conservative stance, increasingly focusing on cost control and strategic discipline. We continued to observe capital market volatility fueled by political and trade uncertainties related to the ongoing tariff situation initiated by the current US Administration and the U.S. government shutdown.
This conservative approach has been adopted to reduce operational spending in the near-term. The intent is to focus on the initiatives that bring long-term value to the Company: constructing the proposed Mustang mill and the development of nearby mines to supply this mill. Western’s team remains confident that uranium prices will become reflective of replacement cost levels and strong underlying market fundamentals. While we are focusing on preparing more of our mineral properties for active mining operations, we intend to utilize this conservative approach until there is a significant and sustainable recovery in uranium markets.
Uranium Ridge Project
On October 8, 2025, Western, through its wholly owned subsidiary, PRM, closed on the acquisition of a package of unpatented mineral lode claims (the “Claims”). The Company paid $250,000 for the acquisition, securing a 50% ownership interest in the area covered by historic drilling. The Claims encompass a drilled-out uranium-vanadium deposit situated on ~240 acres that is located on BLM land in Montrose County, Colorado. As part of the acquisition strategy, Western has also staked additional claims surrounding the property, adding 500 acres with significant exploration potential to expand the historical resource. The Company has named this resource property the Uranium Ridge Project (“Uranium Ridge”), which is a combination of the acquired claims and the newly staked claims. The 50% of mineral claims that are not owned by PRM continue to be owned by Mr. George Glasier, the Company’s CEO. Mr. Glasier has indicated his willingness to make his personal interest available to the Company on appropriate terms if the Company deems it to be desirable. Uranium Ridge is located in close proximity to Western’s proposed Mustang mineral processing plant site, which is being advanced as a key regional processing hub. By securing nearby resources, Western expects to reduce haulage costs, streamline logistics, and capture significant processing efficiencies, directly translating into increased value for shareholders. After the completion of the drill program at the Van 4, Uranium Ridge is targeted for a similar confirmation and exploration drill program. The objectives are to confirm the historic drilled-out resources and expand the resource to the peripheral newly added 500 acres of claims acquired by staking.
Ore Purchase Agreement
On April 8, 2025, PRM entered into an Ore Purchase Agreement (the “Ore Purchase Agreement”) with subsidiaries of Energy Fuels Inc. (“Purchaser”). The Ore Purchase Agreement is for a one year period and provides for the delivery of up to 25,000 short tons of uranium bearing ore to the White Mesa Mill in Blanding, Utah. PRM shall make deliveries at its own cost and the purchase price per ton will be based upon the average grade of uranium of each lot, and other qualifying conditions. Within 30 days after each lot is closed, Purchaser shall pay to PRM an 85% provisional payment (“Provisional Payment”) calculated based upon the sampled grade and an agreed upon pricing schedule. Within 30 days after each lot is fed to processing, the Purchaser shall pay to PRM a final settlement payment calculated based upon the assayed grade and the agreed upon pricing schedule, net of a royalty, pursuant to a previously existing royalty agreement with the Purchaser.
20
On June 12, 2025, the Company funded a $50,000 surety bond for San Miguel County, Colorado, which allowed the Company to commence deliveries in late June 2025. During April and May, the Company focused on the operational preparations required to begin hauling material. Also during this period, an additional ore pad was constructed, equipment and vehicles were prepared, and new equipment was purchased. During the period from late June through September, Western delivered approximately 1,600 tons of mined material from the Sunday Mine Complex to the White Mesa Mill. Hauling capacity proved a limiting factor as all deliveries were completed by Western employees, alternating driving duties, utilizing a single Company truck to make ~20 ton deliveries. Most of the uranium-bearing feedstock utilized to make deliveries under the Ore Purchase Agreement originated from underground stockpiled materials from historical work projects, predominantly from the December 2021 through March 2022 project. This was supplemented by a small amount of new production from the Sunday Mine Complex. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized revenue from the sale of ore, net of royalty, of $297,285. As of September 30, 2025, included within other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet were receivables in the amount of $297,285 due from Purchaser. At the end of September, Western made the decision to pause additional future deliveries in favor of focusing the mining staff on development projects, thus retaining stockpiled materials for Western’s processing plant that is targeted to come online in 2029.
Mustang Mineral Processing Plant
We are prioritizing the development of the Mustang Mineral Processing Plant (Mustang) in Colorado due to its close proximity to the SMC and lower hauling costs in comparison to the Maverick Minerals Processing Plant in Utah. In preparing the new licensing and permitting application, Western expects to benefit from the prior site owner’s completion of all phases of licensing and permitting of their Pinon Ridge Mill project. This facility will be designed to recover uranium and vanadium both from conventional materials mined from Company mines and materials produced by other mining companies. After permitting and construction, and subject to available financing, the processing of uranium and vanadium materials is targeted to commence in 2029. The Colorado milling license that Western is currently seeking will incorporate Kinetic Separation via an amendment to the initial license – as Western’s current plan is to submit a licensing application that is substantially identical to the application that was used previously for the Pinon Ridge Mill (which did not include the Company’s Kinetic Separation technology). Site improvements commenced during the fourth quarter 2024, as monitoring equipment and infrastructure were installed and the existing roads were graded. Official baseline data collection at Mustang began on January 22, 2025, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. Data has been continuously collected for the first three quarters of 2025, and the report is being compiled for the quarter-ended September 30, 2025. Results to date for both water and air quality are consistent with prior data collected by the former owners. Data collection and compilations will continue into 1Q 2026, allowing the team to also begin preparing the radioactive materials license application in 1Q 2026 with the goal of submitting the application during 3Q 2026. Mustang’s completion is critical for in-house yellowcake production.
Mustang Mineral Mill Site Acquisition
On October 1, 2024, Western, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Western Utah, executed a binding stock purchase agreement to purchase 100% of the shares of PRC from a private investor group and thereby acquire Mustang, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of PRC. Mustang owns an 880-acre property located in Montrose County, Colorado, where a uranium processing mill was previously licensed but never constructed. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase of an asset. The Company assumed an obligation to an unrelated third party to remit a royalty based on the volume of minerals processed through any mineral processing plant located on the property.
The acquisition becomes the second property that Western has acquired, in addition to the Maverick site in Utah. It also becomes part of Western’s plans for developing and licensing one or more uranium and vanadium processing facilities to process production from its resource properties in Colorado and Utah.
21
George Glasier, the President, CEO and a director of Western, and his wife Kathleen owned 50% of the shares of PRC and Andrew Wilder, a director of Western, indirectly owned 3% of the shares of PRC, and so the transaction was considered a related party transaction. The Company’s Board of Directors established an independent committee of the Board comprised of directors who were not considered to have an interest in the transaction, and the independent committee oversaw the negotiation and approved the entering into the agreement on behalf of the Company.
The total purchase price of PRC was $1.98 million, which consisted of an aggregate of $829,167 in payments to former PRC shareholders for their equity interests and outstanding loans made to PRC and related accrued interest and a $1,148,125 payment for principal and interest to a third party in satisfaction of an assumed liability of Mustang. For the 53% ownership of PRC, $414,584 was paid to George Glasier and $24,875 was paid to an affiliate of Andrew Wilder.
Sunday Mine Complex Project
In response to elevated uranium prices during early 2024, Western spent 2024 ramping up operations to achieve its annualized production target of 1 million pounds of uranium and 6 million pounds of vanadium. Following the expansion of infrastructure deeper into the West Sunday Mine, the mining teams commenced driving a drift to the Leonard & Clark deposit and the drilling teams continued to define additional mining areas utilizing underground horizontal drilling. This was a staffing and capital intensive project because the mining team was working deep underground across four mines. During the third quarter of 2024, the operations team moved to an area of the Sunday Mine where the last operator ceased production. Existing underground workings were rehabilitated and utilities were installed in a large stope area close to the former production face.
With uranium pricing still at suppressed levels, there has been a corresponding reduction in mining operations in 2025. The development of the Sunday Mine Complex became a secondary focus during the second and third quarters 2025 as the mining team alternated between mine development and hauling / delivery activities related to the Ore Purchase Agreement. In the first quarter of 2025, the extension of the GMG deposit secondary escape became the main underground project.
During 2025, Western extended work in three areas of the GMG deposit and advanced the Leonard & Clark decline. We plan to continue, on a smaller scale, to rehabilitate additional Sunday Mine Complex areas which indicate defined uranium mineralization. Notably, this additional rehabilitation would further expand capacity. Current development supports the potential for full production.
Sunday Mine Complex Drilling Program
The first phase of the horizontal underground drilling program has now been successfully completed. The program employed rigorous quality control, including twinning holes, assaying, and drilling core samples. The program included 20,366 feet of drilling plus an additional 1,655 feet of core drilling. Half of these core holes targeted mineralized faces identified during underground development, while the other half confirmed previously identified ore zones. Geotechnical and geological logging also mapped major faults and weak ground conditions. The program confirmed five mineralized pockets in the GMG drift and outlined the deposit’s overall shape and trend. The horizontal drilling program defined mineralized deposits but did not establish deposit thickness. A second program phase would necessitate surface/vertical drilling to capture thickness data to update geologic resource estimates. Having successfully completed the initiatives at the Sunday Mine Complex, we gradually reduced staffing through attrition, consultant cutbacks, selective layoffs, and redeployment. These efficiency measures have been taken to align the workforce with Company capitalization levels. During mine development activities, we have attempted to drift around mineralization, leaving the seam faces for quick access during the next period of full production.
Additional Projects To Expand Production Capacity
Looking forward, Management is considering opportunities across our property portfolio to increase production capacity that are less capital intensive. These include re-permitting the Topaz Mine, rehabilitating the Sage Mine, reassessing the Van 4 Mine for decline/portal access rather than utilizing the previously reclaimed shaft, and additional development of the Rimrock JV mines. The project to advance permitting of the San Rafael Project is included in this group, and discussed in more detail below. Progress has been made on each of these initiatives. At the Topaz Mine, a new monitor well has been drilled and is actively being flushed in preparation for the delivery of new monitoring equipment. Once installed, we will commence the water quality sampling program. At the Sage Mine, we have now received both state and BLM approvals to commence limited work at this mine. For the Van 4, the team is preparing a vertical drill rig to begin a drilling program with both development and exploration/ resource expansion objectives.
San Rafael
The San Rafael Uranium Project, located in Emery County, Utah, is being developed as the Company’s second production facility. During the second quarter 2024, Western submitted a Notice of Intent to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) that was approved for a mineral and groundwater exploration project. During the third quarter of 2024, Utah’s Division of Oil, Gas & Mining gave its approval of the exploration permit application and the Company posted a $61,403 financial guarantee of reclamation costs with the BLM. Currently all permits have been received that are needed for the drilling of monitor wells, and sinking of a mine shaft. When site work commences, following the completion of repairs to access roads, the phase 1 drilling program can begin. Initially, groundwater monitoring wells will be installed at five drilling locations, reaching depths of approximately 1,000 feet. During the borehole completion process, mineralization will also be assessed and confirmed against historical drill data. This project will provide the baseline data needed for permitting application submission.
Infrastructure
Western expanded its fleet of mining equipment and vehicles in 2023/2024 by purchasing discounted used equipment and reconditioning it with an in-house team of mechanics. This approach has the advantage of putting equipment into reliable high-volume usage condition at a fraction of the cost, while mitigating supply chain issues. The Company has sought cost savings in this area by limiting new purchases in 2025 and opting to rehabilitate the remainder of the fleet over a longer duration. Most purchases made in 2025 were required for hauling uranium-bearing material to the White Mesa Mill.
22
Maverick Minerals Processing Plant
The development of the Maverick Minerals Processing Plant in Green River, Utah, has advanced since the land package acquisition was completed in 2023. Subsequently, a full team of consulting firms was chosen and engaged for their expertise in engineering / mill design, permit preparation, environmental, hydrology, and air quality. The project design and permitting activities include site evaluation work, compilation of a preliminary plant and property site plan, baseline data collection, plant and animal studies and a cultural survey. Additional consulting commitments were made to advance the licensing and development with Precision Systems Engineering (“PSE”), a leading engineering and design consulting firm headquartered in Sandy, Utah. The next steps were for PSE to complete a preliminary engineering design and cost estimate for a 500 ton per day mill and the installation of monitor wells. However, additional work has been deferred for Western to reassess its design strategy now that it has purchased a previously licensed mill site in Colorado (Mustang Mineral Processing Plant, formerly the Pinon Ridge Mill). As processing facility development efforts have been shifted, some of the Maverick site infrastructure has been relocated to the Mustang site and notably the preliminary engineering work is also transferable. The Maverick site is located in close proximity (approximately 4 miles) to the San Rafael Uranium Project; however, it is approximately 170 miles from the Sunday Mine Complex. We are prioritizing development of the Mustang site, given its close proximity to the Sunday Mine Complex, lower hauling costs, and past licensing advances over the Maverick site.

In 2017, the Company entered into an oil and gas lease that became effective with respect to minerals and mineral rights owned by the Company of approximately 160 surface acres of the Company’s mining property in Colorado. As consideration for entering into the lease, the lessee has agreed to pay the Company a royalty from the lessee’s revenue attributed to oil and gas produced, saved, and sold attributable to the net mineral interest. The Company has also received cash payments from the lessee related to the easement that the Company is recognizing incrementally over the eight year term of the easement.
On June 23, 2020, the operator elected to extend the oil and gas lease easement for three additional years through July 2023. This was done to provide additional time in order to complete well construction and commence oil and gas production. During 2021, the operator completed a first set of eight (8) wells which commenced oil and gas production by August 2021. During 2022, the operator completed a second set of eight (8) wells which commenced oil and gas production by August 2022. All sixteen (16) wells remain in production and monthly royalty payments will be ongoing in perpetuity as long as oil and/or gas are produced from the pooled unit containing these sixteen (16) wells.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized aggregate revenue of $31,107 and $52,981, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized aggregate revenue of $102,837 and $147,035, respectively, under these oil and gas lease arrangements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, oil and gas royalties declined due to lower volumes attributable to production decline curves.

Kinetic Separation Licensing
On December 1, 2016 a determination was made by the CDPHE considering the NRC Advisory Opinion, the Colorado public meeting process, and the CDPHE regulatory and evaluation framework. This determination stated that the proposed Kinetic Separation operations at the Sunday Mine by Black Range Minerals must be regulated by the CDPHE through a milling license. Previously, the Company was unable to deploy Kinetic Separation as it was without a regulatory framework, but as a result of this determination the Company is now able to deploy Kinetic Separation under a milling license. The Colorado milling license that Western is currently seeking will likely incorporate Kinetic Separation via an amendment to the initial license – as Western’s current plan is to submit a licensing application that is substantially identical to the application that was used previously for the Pinon Ridge Mill (which did not include the Company’s Kinetic Separation technology).
Biden-Harris, Trump 1.0 and Trump 2.0 Administration Initiatives
During the first Trump Administration, the U.S. government focused on market distortions caused by foreign state-owned enterprises and the economic and geopolitical influence lost by allowing Russia and China to take the global lead in nuclear power. In support of the world’s largest civilian nuclear reactor fleet, the U.S. has implemented some of the recommendations of the Nuclear Fuel Working Group which followed the uranium Section 232 investigation. This led to the implementation of the Uranium Reserve Program and the American Assured Fuel Supply program. Subsequently, the Russia/Ukraine war has highlighted the nuclear fuel supply chain risks and the geopolitical risks of dependence on the direct and indirect sourcing of nuclear fuel from state owned enterprises in Russia and former Soviet Union republics.
Upon taking office, the Biden-Harris Administration team immediately rejoined the Paris Climate Accord, reversed a number of pro-fossil fuel energy policies, and gave all agencies climate change initiatives. The Administration worked to advance a national clean energy standard. In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law authorizing governmental investments of approximately $369 billion in climate and energy, a portion of which would benefit the U.S. domestic nuclear industry and battery technologies.
In November 2024, the United States held a highly contested Presidential election between Republicans (Trump-Vance) and Democrats (Harris-Walz). The Trump-Vance Republican ticket won, returning former President Donald Trump to the Presidency. Republicans also achieved Congressional majorities in both the Senate and House of Representatives. Nuclear energy now enjoys bipartisan support. However, with the change in Presidential Administrations, the Biden emphasis on climate change and clean energy initiatives was replaced by Trump pro-energy initiatives. In his first day in office, President Trump signed Executive Orders declaring a National Energy Emergency and a U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement for a second time. The new administration is seeking a reduction in the federal government’s size and regulatory power; we believe this is likely to expedite the permitting and development of energy resource projects.
The Trump Administration has put forth multiple measures that are very positive for U.S. domestic energy and mining and for Western. On February 14, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order creating the National Energy Dominance Council. On March 20, 2025, to boost domestic production of critical minerals and reduce reliance on foreign imports, President Trump signed an Executive Order titled “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production.” On April 9, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order entitled “Zero-based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy” to reduce costs on energy production by requiring conditional sunset dates for regulations. Then on April 15, 2025, an Executive Order was released entitled “Ensuring National Security and Economic Resilience through Section 232 Actions on Processed Critical Minerals and Derivative Products”. The Department of the Interior followed on April 23, 2025, by implementing emergency permitting procedures to strengthen domestic energy supply. In April / May 2025, in response to President Trump’s earlier March 20, 2025 Executive Order, the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council announced the first two waves of critical mineral production projects selected to benefit from expedited permitting; the second included two uranium projects. On May 23, 2025, President Trump signed four Executive Orders specific to boosting the U.S. domestic nuclear fuel cycle. This incited a strong uranium mining stock rally the following day. Since taking office, President Trump has signed no fewer than 10 Executive Orders to boost the energy sector that we believe to be directly or indirectly beneficial to nuclear and/or uranium mining industries. On November 7, 2025 the U.S. Geological Survey published the final 2025 List of Critical Minerals, and uranium was added to the list. The Trump administration is expanding the list amid efforts to boost domestic mining and cut reliance on imports for those minerals it deems essential for the U.S. economy and national security. As a result, uranium projects qualify increasingly for federal incentives, national stockpiling, and priority research.
During August 2025, DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy established the Defense Production Act (DPA) Consortium that will seek participation by U.S. companies through voluntary agreements. It was announced that “Under the DPA Consortium, voluntary agreements will allow industry consultation to develop plans of action to ensure that the nuclear fuel supply chain capacity for mining and milling, conversion, enrichment, deconversion, fabrication, recycling and reprocessing is available to enable the continued reliable operation of the nation’s reactors.” Due to the U.S. government shutdown, the first meeting of the DPA Consortium was rescheduled from October 14, 2025 to October 23, 2025. In mid-September, President Trump and DOE Secretary Wright touted U.S. nuclear power, the potential for new advancements, and the U.S. domestic fuel cycle which rallied uranium equity markets for a few weeks.

The capital markets have yet to reflect the very positive impact of these pro-energy policies for the uranium mining sector as this has initially been overshadowed by the announcements of U.S. tariffs and reciprocal tariffs on the United States’ largest trading partners.
United States Ban of Russian Uranium due to Russian Invasion of Ukraine
In response to Russia’s war in Ukraine, the U.S. legislature passed the Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act (H.R. 1042) to ban Russian uranium imports into the United States. Unanimous passage in April 2024 by the U.S. Senate followed the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of the bill in December 2023. Subsequently, on May 13, 2024, President Biden signed this legislation into law. The ban became effective 90 days after its enactment on August 11, 2024 and is being phased in under Department of Energy conditional waivers before becoming a complete ban on January 1, 2028. Importantly, the enactment of a Russian ban releases funding to support the American nuclear supply chain. This funding was deployed by the DOE under a new program called the Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) – Enrichment Acquisition. The United States has the world’s largest civilian nuclear reactor fleet, and it has now taken steps to reduce its reliance on state-sponsored Russian nuclear fuel.
In November 2024, in response to the U.S. ban on Russian uranium imports, Russia imposed a counter restriction on the export of enriched uranium to the United States. This was designed to create maximum uncertainty through its implementation on a shipment-by-shipment basis. Also in December 2024, Russia’s national nuclear company sold a 49% minority stake in a joint venture in a Kazakhstan uranium mine to a Chinese state-owned company. It was reported that this was done due to difficulties selling uranium to European or North American buyers due to sanctions recently imposed upon Russia.
The war in Ukraine is ongoing and it is unclear at this time when and how it will end but the parties have commenced negotiations under the guidance of the Trump Administration. In the early days of the new administration, President Trump appeared to be more open toward Russia’s interests, which caused concern from traditional European allies. Recently, the Trump’s Administration position regarding the war in Ukraine has become more balanced. The earlier embrace of Russia negatively impacted the prices of uranium equities and physical uranium commodities during 2025.
Nuclear Fuel and Uranium Market Conditions
The uranium term price was in the $80.00 to $81.50 range between July 2024 and August 2025, until its rise to $83/lb in September 2025 and $85/lb in October 2025. The uranium spot market has experienced more volatility, peaking at $106/lb in January 2024, and declining into a 2025 trading range of $64/lb to $78/lb through August 2025. In September 2025 and October 2025 spot prices rallied above $80/lb, before declining back into the 2025 trading range in November 2025. In 2023/2024, spot uranium prices reacted to supply/demand constraints and geopolitical risks. Positive catalysts across multiple levels of the nuclear fuel and uranium markets have set in motion uranium market and nuclear fuel opportunities for the next decade and beyond. Underlying fundamentals are the strongest in decades. This is attributable to multiple factors, including climate change, energy security, supply chain and energy scarcity initiatives. The supply/demand imbalance has flipped from a market with excess supply into a market with excess future demand. With the reduced availability of secondary supplies, utilities have begun adding multi-year contracts with mining companies for primary supply. The drivers expanding the demand for nuclear fuel include non-nuclear nations adding nuclear power generation, nuclear nations expanding fleets and/or extending lives of existing reactors, idled nuclear reactors being redeployed, the reversal of phase-outs and shutdowns, and the deployment of advanced reactors / SMRs. However, the challenge is in meeting increasing demand simultaneously with supply constraints from the world’s largest suppliers. In spite of all these favorable attributes, spot uranium prices have declined in 2025 versus 2024 levels, as have the equities of junior uranium miners. We anticipate that both will rebound to reflect the underlying positive fundamentals in the nuclear/uranium sector. Multiple market analysts have flagged low availability of mobile secondary inventories. We believe the continued draw down of inventories to be a market catalyst for uranium prices.
Positive nuclear energy news has continued to highlight the global growth of future nuclear electricity generation which will drive increased nuclear fuel demand. However, due to the lead time needed for future uranium production, we are entering a phase where the supply-demand fundamentals are in a deep multi-year structural supply deficit. The future is not clear as we believe some miners, like ourselves, with available near-term production are waiting for higher price levels and/or project funding before making full start-up commitments. Utilities have also deferred contracting to understand how regulations and geopolitics will modify their future access to Russian uranium, conversion and enrichment services.
In the second quarter of 2024, investors began purchasing nuclear and uranium equities as a means to create long exposure for their positive view on Artificial Intelligence (AI), due to the vast energy requirements of data centers. Many of those investors reversed their positions and began to sell these nuclear and uranium equities in the fourth quarter of 2024 and in the first quarter of 2025, and the nuclear and uranium equities that initially benefited saw a price reversal.

Nuclear Fuel Supply Chain Concentration Risks
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing global energy crisis has focused attention on security of supply and supply chain risks. This has caused most of the world to re-evaluate their dependence upon nuclear fuel exported by Russia. In spite of the dominant market position of Rosatom, future deliveries potentially could be at risk due to sanctions, legislation, or a Russian embargo. Customer dependence upon the Russian supply of uranium, conversion and enrichment are being addressed slowly by governments as alternative suppliers are not currently available. Both Urenco and Orano have announced that they will invest to expand their uranium enrichment capacity respectively in the United States and France, which represents a shift away from Russia. Utilities are demonstrating their desire for increased security of their nuclear fuel supply chains. Kazakhstan is also a concern because the world’s largest uranium producing country has an unguarded and the second longest continuous land border in the world shared with Russia. The potential exists for Russia to exert influence over Kazakhstan. Additionally, Kazatomprom has put large long-term contracts in place with China. This supply is needed for China to fulfill its 15 year plan to deploy 150 new nuclear reactors. China National Nuclear Corp. (CNNC) has recently opened a uranium trading hub and warehouse facility, on the China / Kazakhstan border, with the capacity to store 60 million pounds of uranium. It has become evident that the nuclear fuel supply chain has become increasingly concentrated and interconnected in this very small area of the world. Expanding Kazakhstan uranium exports to Russia and China significantly reduces future supply for Western nuclear fuel buyers.
In July 2023, the government of Niger was overthrown by its military. This is significant because the new regime is opposed to Western interests and this landlocked West African country holds the 7th largest uranium resource in the world and was producing about 5% of global production. The conflict has an anti-French sentiment, and the Junta has initiated multiple actions that are counter to French interests. Most importantly, Niger’s Junta has threatened the export of uranium to France which has serious implications because France acquires 20% of its natural uranium from Niger. In addition to the French evacuating/ being expelled from Niger, the U.S. military also departed the country. The Junta is utilizing Russian military support as a replacement. In addition, the Niger government has revoked operating permits from foreign uranium companies, including Orano in June 2024 and Goviex in July 2024. In November 2024, Orano further reported that it had lost operational control, to authorities in Niger, of another of its uranium mines. This mine was in production, but had been impacted by export restrictions imposed by the Junta.
During October 2023, geopolitical instabilities spread further to the Middle East after a Hamas attack on Israel triggered a counterattack by Israel on the Gaza Strip. This additional hot spot further increases volatility in the world and destabilizes the Middle East region that is highly influential on global energy prices. The Israel-Hamas hostilities have escalated over the Summer of 2024 and then spread to other countries in the Middle East. At the beginning of 2025, Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire which ended in March 2025; the hostilities resumed in March and it is not clear when and if the combatants will be able to negotiate a new ceasefire or an end to military actions. In August 2025, the Israeli Prime Minister spoke of Israel’s intention to take control of the entire Gaza Strip and said that he will be seeking backing from Israeli government ministers. On June 13, 2025, Israel attacked key nuclear and military facilities in Iran with Iranian military responding with attacks on Israel soon after. The conflict escalated quickly, which raised significant concerns for the stability of the region and oil prices increased sharply in the first days of the war. On June 22, 2025, the United States military bombed a number of Iranian nuclear sites in a move to force Iranian authorities to negotiate a nuclear treaty and end the hostilities. Subsequently, both Israel and Iran began to abide by a ceasefire, which appears to be holding. U.S. President Trump presented a 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan and pressured both sides forcing Israel and Palestinians into indirect negotiations and a ceasefire resulted. This resulted in a hostage-prisoner exchange in October 2025 where the release of the remaining living Israeli hostages were exchanged for almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees held by Israel. The hope is for a post-war governance plan that will result in a lasting ceasefire; negotiations are ongoing.

The decrease in mining expenditures of $335,383, or 29% was principally attributable to decreases in mining supplies and services, reduced Rimrock joint venture costs, lower non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and lower payroll expenses due to a reduction in headcount. During the quarter, the operations team notably shifted their focus toward making deliveries of previously stockpiled material.
Professional Fees
Professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $89,518 as compared to $127,049 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in professional fees of $37,531 or 30% was attributable to reduced public company costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $519,291 as compared to $813,403 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expense of $294,112, or 36% is primarily due to a decrease in compensation expenses due to a reduced headcount, and a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $60,415 as compared to $247,850 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in consulting fees of $187,435, or 76% was due to a spending shift in the mineral processing plant licensing efforts. Consulting fees for the three months ended September 30, 2025 consisted principally of baseline data collection costs, whereas the cost in the prior period consisted principally of third-party engineering and design costs.
27
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $44,080 as compared to $62,492 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in interest income, net of $18,412, or 29% was principally attributable to a decrease in interest earned due to lower cash balances during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $5,120 as compared to a loss of $1,998 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $7,118 increase in income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was attributable to the gain on the disposal of equipment, as compared to a loss on disposal of equipment incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Foreign currency translation adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was a loss of $8,740 as compared to a gain of $14,018 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The shift to a loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was principally attributable to a strengthening of the USD versus CAD, as compared to the prior period.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Summary:
Our condensed consolidated net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $5,728,741 and $7,343,580, respectively. The principal components of these period over period changes are discussed below.
Our comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $5,769,923 and $7,534,441, respectively.
Revenues
Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $400,122 and $147,035, respectively. The increase in revenues of $253,087, or 172% was primarily related to $297,285 of revenue from the sale of uranium bearing material during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to receiving only oil and gas royalties during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Mining Expenditures
Mining expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $3,666,975 as compared to $3,860,173 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in mining expenditures of $193,198, or 5% was principally attributable to a decrease in mining, drilling, and explosive supplies, reduced Rimrock joint venture costs and lower non-cash stock-based compensation expense. These decreases were principally offset by an increase in payroll and benefits principally due to a reclassification from general and administrative expenses to mining expenses, an increase in depreciation expense from additional equipment, facilities being placed in service during 2025, and an increase in reclamation costs due to the first quarter 2025 completion of the Van 4 reclamation.
Professional Fees
Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $504,435 as compared to $484,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in professional fees of $19,509 or 4% was principally attributable to increased audit and accounting costs in connection with the increase in the scale of the Company’s business and mining operations. This was offset partially by a reduction in legal fees.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $1,796,763 as compared to $2,604,516 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expense of $807,753, or 31%, is primarily due to a reduction in payroll and benefits expenses due to both a decrease in staff size and the reclassification of payroll expenses from general and administrative expenses to mining expenses, and to a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $251,199 as compared to $738,204 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in consulting fees of $487,005, or 66%, was due to a spending shift in the mineral processing plant licensing efforts. The current period was comprised of lower baseline data collection costs at the Mustang site, whereas the prior period was comprised predominantly of higher engineering costs at the Maverick site.
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $85,389 as compared to $199,202 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in interest income, net of $113,813 or 57% was principally attributable to a decrease in interest earned due to lower cash balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
28
Other Income, Net
Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $5,120 as compared to a loss of $1,998 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $7,118 increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was attributable to a gain on the disposal of equipment, as compared to a loss on disposal of equipment incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Foreign currency translation adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was a loss of $41,182 as compared to a loss of $190,861 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The lower foreign currency translation adjustment loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was principally attributable to a narrowing of the exchange rate exposure, as compared to the September 30, 2024 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances as of September 30, 2025 was $4,429,439. Our cash position is highly dependent on our ability to raise capital through the issuance of debt and equity and our management of expenditures for mining and for the development of our mineral processing plant and for the fulfillment of public company reporting responsibilities. Our management believes that in order to finance the development and mining operations of our mining resource properties, to deploy Kinetic Separation units and operations and to secure regulatory licenses for and to construct our uranium and vanadium mineral processing facilities, we will be required to raise additional capital by way of debt and/or equity. This outlook is based on our current financial position and is subject to change if opportunities become available based on current exploration program results and/or external opportunities.
Net Cash Used In Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $4,782,893 and $5,762,812, respectively. The decrease of $979,919 in cash used in operating activities was principally driven by a decrease in net loss of $1,614,839 offset by a decrease of $383,227 in stock-based compensation and increased depreciation expense.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $375,257 and $1,178,935, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities of $803,678 was principally due to reduced purchases of mining equipment and vehicles in the current period. We have shifted emphasis from new acquisitions to refurbishing our previously acquired vehicles and equipment.
Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $3,331,687 and $4,605,458, respectively. The cash provided by financing activities of $3,331,687 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due in its entirety to the proceeds from a private placement. The cash provided by financing activities of $4,605,458 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due in its entirety to warrant exercise proceeds.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Our mines are subject to certain AROs, which we have recorded as liabilities. The AROs of the United States mines are subject to legal and regulatory requirements and estimates of the costs of asset retirement obligations are reviewed periodically by the applicable regulatory authorities. The ARO represents our best estimate of the present value of future reclamation costs in connection with the mineral properties.
We determined the gross ARO of the mineral properties to be $1,187,553 and $1,163,978, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The portion of the asset retirement obligation related to the Van 4 Mine, which is in reclamation as of September 30, 2025, and its related restricted cash are included in current liabilities and current assets, respectively, at a value of $75,057. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our internal mining operations team has been performing the Van 4 Mine reclamation work, and the State of Colorado has not yet reduced the associated asset retirement obligation amount.
The asset retirement obligations represent the Company’s estimate of the present value of future reclamation costs, discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free interest rates of 5.4%. The net discounted aggregated values as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $410,569 and $410,098, respectively. The gross AROs as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are secured by financial warranties in the amount of $1,187,553 and $812,993, respectively.
Oil and Gas Lease and Easement
We entered into an oil and gas lease that became effective with respect to minerals and mineral rights owned by us on approximately 160 surface acres of our property in Colorado. As consideration for entering into the lease, the lessee has agreed to pay us a royalty from the lessee’s revenue attributed to oil and gas produced, saved, and sold attributable to the net mineral interest. We have also received cash payments from the lessee related to the easement that we are recognizing incrementally over the eight year term of the easement.
29
On June 23, 2020, the same entity as discussed above elected to extend the oil and gas lease easement for three additional years, commencing on the date the lease would have previously expired. During 2021, the operator completed a first set of eight (8) wells which commenced oil and gas production by August 2021. During 2022, the operator completed a second set of eight (8) wells which commenced oil and gas production by August 2022. All sixteen (16) wells remain in production and monthly royalty payments will be ongoing in perpetuity as long as oil and/or gas are produced from the pooled unit containing these sixteen (16) wells.
Under the oil and gas lease and easement arrangements, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized aggregate revenue of $31,107 and $52,981, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized aggregate revenue of $102,837 and $147,035, respectively, under these oil and gas lease arrangements
Related Party Transactions
We have transacted with related parties pursuant to service arrangements in the ordinary course of business, as follows:
Prior to the acquisition of Black Range, Mr. George Glasier, the Company’s CEO, who is also a director of the Company (“Seller”), transferred his interest in a former joint venture with Ablation Technologies, LLC to Black Range. In connection with the transfer, Black Range issued 25 million shares of Black Range common stock to Seller and committed to pay $330,988 (AUD $500,000) to Seller within 60 days of the first commercial application of the Kinetic Separation technology. We assumed this contingent payment obligation in connection with the acquisition of Black Range. At the date of the acquisition of Black Range, this contingent obligation was determined to be probable. Since the deferred contingent consideration obligation is probable and the amount is estimable, we recorded the deferred contingent consideration as an assumed liability in the amount of $330,988 and $309,138 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
We have multiple lease arrangements with Silver Hawk Ltd., an entity which is owned by George Glasier and his wife Kathleen Glasier. These leases, which are all on a month-to-month basis, are for the rental of office, workshop, warehouse and employee housing facilities. In connection with these arrangements, we incurred rent expense of $26,325 and $26,325 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $79,921 and $76,175 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We are obligated to pay Mr. Glasier for reimbursable expenses in the amount of $45,038 and $83,554, included within accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased approximately $9,000 of mining related equipment from Silver Hawk Ltd.
In connection with the Company’s June 13, 2025 private placement, of the 5,911,786 common shares and warrants issued to investors, 117,647 were issued to Mr. Glasier for his participation in the private placement.
Going Concern
With the exception of the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we had incurred losses from our operations and as of September 30, 2025, had an accumulated deficit of $34,658,635 and working capital of $3,136,193.
Since inception, we have met our liquidity requirements principally through the issuance of notes, the sale of our common shares and from limited revenue sources. On October 14, 2025, the Company closed a brokered private placement of 6,555,556 units at a price of $0.64 (CAD $0.90) per unit. The aggregate gross proceeds raised in the private placement amounted to $4,202,281 (CAD $5,900,000). On June 13, 2025, we closed a brokered private placement of 5,911,786 units at a price of $0.63 (CAD $0.85) per unit. The aggregate gross proceeds raised in the private placement amounted to $3,693,424 (CAD $5,025,018) and proceeds net of issuance costs were $3,331,687 (CAD $4,532,939). Of the 5,911,786 common shares and warrants issued to investors, 117,647 were issued to Mr. Glasier for his participation in the private placement. During November 2024, we closed a private placement of 4,142,906 units at a price of $0.94 (CAD $1.32) per unit. The aggregate gross proceeds raised in the private placement amounted to $3,897,166 (CAD $5,468,636) and proceeds net of issuance costs were $3,546,870 (CAD $4,975,966). During year ended December 31, 2024, we received $4,605,458 (CAD $6,238,248) in proceeds from the exercise of common share warrants to purchase 5,198,540 common shares.
Our ability to continue our operations and to pay our obligations when they become due is contingent upon us obtaining additional financing. Management’s plans include seeking to procure additional funds through debt and equity financings, to secure regulatory approval licenses to fully utilize Kinetic Separation and to permit and construct the Mustang Minerals Processing Plant for the processing of uranium and vanadium to generate operating cash flows. We will also require capital to fund the ongoing in-house mining operations at the Sunday Mine Complex and other portfolio projects.
There are no assurances that we will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all, or that cash flows generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our current operating costs and required debt service. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development, which could harm our financial condition and operating results, or we may not be able to continue to fund our ongoing operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of the accompanying financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2025, there were no off-balance sheet transactions. We have not entered into any specialized financial agreements to minimize our investment risk, currency risk or commodity risk.
30
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, include, but are not limited to, the following: fair value of transactions involving common shares, assessment of the useful life and evaluation for impairment of intangible assets, valuation and impairment assessments on mineral properties, deferred contingent consideration, the reclamation liability, valuation of stock-based compensation and valuation of long-term debt, HST and asset retirement obligations. Other areas requiring estimates include allocations of expenditures, depletion and amortization of mineral rights and properties.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to our identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
Based upon its assessment, as of September 30, 2025, management has identified the following material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, inclusive of the control weakness related to disclosure controls and procedures:
| 1. | The lack of sufficient dedicated accounting personnel, resulting in delays around the timely collection of inputs and the preparation and review of financial reporting, as well as the inability to provide for effective segregation of duties, and |
| 2. | The lack of formal documentation of the design of the control environment and the related control processes and procedures. |
Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses
We have identified and implemented, and continue to implement, certain remediation efforts to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. These remediation efforts are ongoing and include the following measures to address the material weaknesses identified:
| ● | We have engaged additional accounting resources from our consultants. These additional resources have enabled us to improve the timeliness and initial recording of inputs as well as for the preparation of account reconciliations. |
| ● | We have engaged a new member of the management team into our cash disbursement function, thus providing an improvement in segregating duties for incompatible roles. |
| ● | We have implemented additional procedures in connection with our monthly accounting closing process. |
While we believe the steps taken to date will improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have not yet completed all of our planned remediation efforts.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a- 15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the Company’s third fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the opinion of management, we are not involved in any claims, legal actions or regulatory proceedings as of September 30, 2025, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our condensed interim consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, including in Part I, Item 2—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in Item 2, the risks and uncertainties which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I, Item 1A—“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Commission on April 15, 2025. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently deem less significant may also impair our business operations. Except as set forth below, there are no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Risks Related to Our Stock
Fluctuations in the market price of our common shares are often outside the control of the Company and could materially impact securityholders’ investments in the Company and the Company’s access to capital.
Market sentiment and trading in an issuer’s shares can also be impacted by its inclusion in, or exclusion from, certain equity benchmarks and/or investable indices. For example, due to changes in market capitalization eligibility rules, our common shares are expected to be removed from the North Shore Global Uranium Mining Index (URNMX) after the close of trading on December 19, 2025. This removal could have a negative impact on the market price of our common shares, as certain shareholders who allocate investments according to that underlying index could be required to sell our common shares for reasons that are unrelated to the Company’s operating results, underlying asset values or prospects.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
All of our sales of unregistered equity securities during the period covered by this report have been disclosed previously on Form 8-K.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
For Western, safety is a core value, and we strive for superior performance. Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation, and program auditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at Western, ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.
The operation of our U.S. based mine is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our mine on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the number of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.
Pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), issuers that are operators, or that have a subsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine in the United States, and that is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration under the Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (“Mine Safety Act”), are required to disclose in their periodic reports filed with the Commission information regarding specified health and safety violations, orders and citations, related assessments and legal actions, and mining-related fatalities. Western went into active mining operations at the Sunday Mine Complex during 2021. During the quarter ended September 30. 2025, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) mine inspections have not yielded any disclosures required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act.
