RED METAL RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Three and Six Months Ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited; Expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
|
1.NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Red Metal Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) is involved in acquiring and exploring mineral properties in Chile through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Minera Polymet SpA (“Polymet”), organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile, and in Canada, in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. The Company has not determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
The Company’s head office is located at 1130 West Pender Street, Suite 820, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4A4. Its registered office address is at 550 Burrard Street, Suite 2501, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2B5. The Company’s mailing address is 278 Bay Street, Suite 102, Thunder Bay, Ontario, P7B 1R8. Polymet’s head office is located in Vallenar, III Region of Atacama, Chile.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. As at July 31, 2025, the Company has not advanced its mineral properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day-to-day activities through operations. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration activities and its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom, and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations.
The Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $440,744 for the six months ended July 31, 2025, and, as at July 31, 2025, had a deficit of $15,867,704, and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,620,012. The Company raises financing for its exploration and development activities in discrete tranches to finance its activities for limited periods only. The Company has identified that further funding may be required for working capital purposes, and to finance the Company’s exploration programs and development of mineral assets. These conditions may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On May 23, 2024, the Company completed a share consolidation (reverse stock split) on the basis of one new share for every three old shares. All references to shares and per share amounts in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the share consolidation as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustment which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the consolidated financial statements; such adjustments may be material.
2.STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
a)Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2025.
The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on September 26, 2025.

RED METAL RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Three and Six Months Ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited; Expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
|
b)Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 are comprised of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Minera Polymet SpA, (together referred to as “Red Metal”, or the “Company”). Polymet is consolidated from the date of its incorporation, as Red Metal is the sole shareholder and therefore has the control and power to govern the financial and operating policies of Polymet as to obtain benefits from its activities. The Company will continue to consolidate until the date Red Metal no longer has control over Polymet. The financial statements of Polymet are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Balances, transactions, income and expenses between Red Metal and Polymet are eliminated on consolidation.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, except for certain financial instruments, which are recorded at fair value. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.
Balance sheet items are classified as current if receipts or payments are due within twelve months. Otherwise, they are presented as non-current.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The areas involving significant assumptions and estimates are disclosed in Note 3.
c)Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary, Polymet, is the Chilean peso, which is determined to be the currency of the primary economic environment in which Polymet operates.
d)New and revised IFRS issued but not yet effective
Accounting standards, amendments to standards, or interpretations with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. These assumptions and associated estimates are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The current market conditions introduce additional uncertainties, risks and complexities in management’s determination of the estimates and assumptions used to prepare the Company’s financial results. As volatility in financial markets is an evolving situation, management cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact on the Company. As such, actual results may differ from estimates, and the effect of such differences may be material. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and the revision affects both current and future periods.

|
The following are critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
·classification/allocation of expenses as exploration and evaluation expenditures;
·classification and measurement of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities;
·determination that the Company is able to continue as a going concern; and
·determination whether there have been any events or changes in circumstances that indicate the impairment of the Company’s exploration and evaluations assets.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty include the following:
·the carrying value and recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets;
·recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets;
·provisions for restoration and environmental obligations and contingent liabilities; and
·measurement of share-based transactions.
4.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels at the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 -quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 -observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 3 -unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company has classified its cash as measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, using level 1 inputs

|
Loans payable are measured at amortized cost. Upon recognition, the fair values of the loans are estimated by discounting cash flows using interest rates of debt instruments with similar terms, maturities, and risk profiles.
Risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Management, the Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee monitor risk management activities and review the adequacy of such activities.
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is limited to the carrying amount on the statement of financial position and arises from the Company’s cash, which is held with a high-credit quality financial institutions in Canada and in Chile. As such, the Company’s credit risk exposure is minimal.
Market risk:
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices.
i.Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has minimal interest rate risk as it has no interest accumulating financial assets that may become susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.
ii.Currency risk:
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company has offices in Canada and Chile, and holds cash in Canadian, United States, and Chilean Peso currencies. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar and the Chilean Peso could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and/or cash flows. At July 31, 2025, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. As the majority of the transactions of the Company are denominated in CAD and Chilean Peso currencies, movements in the foreign exchange rates are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
iii.Equity price risk:
Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of equity/securities decreases as a result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stocks. The Company is not exposed to equity price risk as it does not have any investments in marketable securities.
iv.Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, considering its anticipated cash flows. Historically, the Company’s sources of funding have been through equity financings and loans from the Company’s management and its major shareholder. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain, and there can be no assurance of continued access to significant debt or equity funding.

NSR range from 0.3% to 1.25%, depending on the particular concession and the Purchaser. The Company’s CEO agreed to acquire the NSR for $2,077 (US$1,500), the CFO agreed to acquire the NSR for $1,384 (US$1,000), and the major shareholder agreed to acquire the NSR for $3,461 (US$2,500).
The NSR will be paid quarterly once commercial exploitation begins and will be paid on gold, silver, copper and cobalt sales. If, within two years, the Company does not commence commercial exploitation of the mineral properties, an annual payment of $10,000 per purchaser will be paid.
Pursuant to Chilean law, the NSR agreements will come in force only when registered against the land title in Chile. The registration of the NSR Agreements has been deferred, therefore the payments made by the CEO, CFO, and the major shareholder have been recorded as advances on the books of the Company and will be applied towards the NSR Agreements, once they are fully legalized.

Debt Restructuring
On May 9, 2024, The Company restructured a portion of its debt with related parties (the “Creditors”) in the amount of $1,911,451, whereby the Creditors agreed to forgive a total of $145,848 in interest accrued on demand notes payable up to January 31, 2024 (which was recorded as part of the equity reserves), and to restructure repayment of remaining balance of $1,765,603 plus interest accrued on the Debt up to May 9, 2024, totaling $51,651 over a five-year period (the “Restructured Loan Agreements”). Under the Restructured Loan Agreements, the remaining balance and accrued interest, totaling $1,817,255 (the “Debt”), continues to accrue interest at an annual interest rate of 8%, and must be repaid in a series of semi-annual installment payments, commencing six months from the date of the Debt restructuring, on November 9, 2024, over a period of five years.
On January 13, 2025, the Company and the Creditors amended the Restructured Loan Agreements to extend and combine the first two payments to July 15, 2025. All other terms of the Restructured Loan Agreements remained the same.
On July 15, 2025, the Company and the Creditors further amended the Restructured Loan Agreements to extend and combine the July 15, 2025, payment, as amended, with the two following payments to July 31, 2026, and to stagger all other payments at six-month intervals starting from July 31, 2026. All other terms of the Restructured Loan Agreements remained the same.
In measuring the fair value of the Restructured Loan Agreements in alignment with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, at May 9, 2024, the Company recognized an equity component of $239,337 against the balance of the Debt relating to the below-market interest rate. The July 15, 2025, amendment resulted in a further increase to the equity component of $57,038. The value of the equity component and its further adjustment were determined by discounting the total expected future obligations under the Restructured Loan Agreements at a market interest rate of 13%.
During the three- and six-month periods ending July 31, 2025, the Company recorded accretion on the Debt of $15,940 and $30,272, respectively, as well as $39,895 and $77,716 in interest on the Debt, respectively.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Background
Red Metal Resources Ltd. was incorporated under the Nevada Business Corporations Act on January 10, 2005. On February 10, 2021, the Company changed its corporate jurisdiction from the State of Nevada to the Province of British Columbia. Upon the Company’s continuation to British Columbia, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, under the Nevada Revised Statutes, were replaced with the Articles of the Company, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The authorized capital of the Company was amended to an unlimited number of common shares without par value.
On November 18, 2021, the Company filed a final non-offering prospectus ( the “Prospectus”) with the B.C. Securities Commission and became a reporting issuer in the province of British Columbia. The common shares of the Company were approved for listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) and began trading under the symbol “RMES” as of market open on November 25, 2021, and the Company automatically became a reporting issuer in the province of Ontario. The Company’s common shares continue to trade on the OTC Link alternative trading system on the OTC PINK marketplace under the symbol “RMESF” and, as of June 7, 2024, the Company’s common shares are also listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “I660”.
The Company’s head office is located at 1130 West Pender Street, Suite 820, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4A4. Its registered office address is at 550 Burrard Street, Suite 2501, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2B5. The Company’s mailing address is 278 Bay Street, Suite 102, Thunder Bay, Ontario P7B 1R8.
On August 21, 2007, the Company formed Minera Polymet Limitada (“Polymet”) as a limited liability company under the laws of the Republic of Chile. On September 28, 2015, the Company changed Polymet’s incorporation from a
2 | Page
| RED METAL RESOURCES LTD Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Three and Six Months Ended July 31, 2025 |
Limited Liability Company to a Closed Stock Corporation (“SpA”). As of the date of this MD&A, the Company owns 100% of Polymet, which holds its Chilean mineral property interests.
The Company is engaged in the business of mineral exploration in Chile and Canada with the objective of exploring and, if warranted, developing mineral properties. All of the Company’s Chilean mineral concessions are located in the Candelaria iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) belt of the coastal cordillera, in the Carrizal Alto Mining District, III Region of Atacama, Chile. The Company has three copper-gold projects on two properties, namely the Farellón and Perth Projects, both located on the Carrizal Property, and the Mateo Project located on the Mateo Property.
In Canada, the Company’s mineral claims are located in the Larder Lake Mining District of Ontario, along the Quebec border near Ville-Marie, Quebec and in the Timiskaming Graben formation, approximately 15 km north of Ville Marie, Quebec. As of the date of this MD&A, the Company’s total portfolio of claim blocks in this highly prospective discovery area consists of seven separate packages, covering 160 mineral claims and totalling over 4,178 hectares to the North, Northeast and Southwest of QIMC’s Hydrogen-in-soil sample discovery as well as covering similar geology to the west into Ontario. These claim blocks are contiguous on three sides to Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. and cover possible extensions in multiple directions.
In addition to holding its Chilean and Canadian projects, as an exploration company, the Company periodically stakes, purchases, or options claims to allow sufficient time and access to fully consider the geological potential of the claims.
The Company’s flagship project, the Farellón Project, is an early-stage exploration project consisting of eight mining concessions totalling 1,234 hectares.
Consistent with the Company’s historical practices, the Company’s management continues to monitor its costs by reviewing the Company’s mineral claims to determine whether they possess the geological indicators to economically justify the capital to maintain or explore them. As of the date of this MD&A, Polymet has one employee and engages independent consultants on an as-needed basis. Most of the Company’s support, including vehicles, office, and equipment, is supplied under short-term contracts. The only long-term commitments the Company has are for royalty payments on four of its mineral concessions: Farellón Alto 1-8, Quina 1-56, Exeter 1-54, and Che. These royalties are payable upon commencement of exploitation. The Company is also required to pay property taxes that are due annually on all Chilean concessions included in its properties.
The cost and timing of all planned exploration programs are subject to the availability of qualified mining personnel, such as consulting geologists, geo-technicians and drillers, and drilling equipment. Although Chile and Canada has a well-trained and qualified mining workforce from which to draw, if the Company is unable to find the personnel and equipment needed at the prices that were budgeted for the programs, the Company might have to revise or postpone its exploration plans.
OVERVIEW OF MINERAL PROPERTIES
As of the date of this MD&A the Company’s mineral property interests include three copper-gold projects on two properties, namely the Farellón and Perth Projects both located on the Carrizal Property, and the Mateo Project located on the Mateo Property, which are located in the prolific Candelaria iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) belt of Chile’s coastal Cordillera (see Figure 1 below). And 160 mineral claims totalling over 4,178 hectares located in the Larder Lake Mining District of Ontario, along the Quebec border near Ville-Marie, Quebec and in the Timiskaming Graben formation, approximately 15 km north of Ville Marie, Quebec (see Figure 2 below).

Recent Exploration Program
In February 2025 the Company commenced an extensive sampling and mapping work program on its Farellón Project. The program was designed to follow up on and extend previously identified veins that comprise approximately 15 km of veining extending along strike from the historic Carrizal Alto mine, aiding in refining future drill targets.
The 2025 mapping and sampling program highlighted the higher-grade gold potential of the southwestern extension of the veins that have never been drill tested and only had limited sampling. Sampling of the Armonia vein as it extends from the historic Carrizal Alto mine onto Red Metal’s Carrizal Property continues to highlight the 2.5 kilometeres of veining that has not been drill tested.
Highlights of the sample program included:
·71 samples collected, all samples returned higher than 1% Cu, 41 returned greater than 4% Cu, and 22 returned greater than 1g/t Au
·Significant sample returned 17.3% Cu with 5.0 g/t Au, 7.1% Cu with 8.4g/t Au, and 6.8% Cu with 7.0 g/t Au in the South Theresa Zone;
· Clear definition of veins in the South Theresa zone, which showed higher gold to copper ratios than the main Farellon structure.
Capital Resources
The Company’s ability to acquire and explore its Chilean and Canadian claims is subject to the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary funding. The Company’s management expects to raise funds through any combination of debt financing and/or sale of its securities. The Company has no committed sources of capital. If management is unable to raise funds as and when needed, the Company may be required to curtail, or even to cease, its operations.
Contingencies and Commitments
The Company had no contingencies at July 31, 2025.
As of July 31, 2025, the Company had the following long-term contractual obligations and commitments, notwithstanding $1,089,497 the Company owed to its related parties that were due on demand, $1,776,153 the Company owed to its related parties under the restructured loan agreements that were due in series of semi-annual payments commencing on July 31, 2026, as amended, with the final payment due on May 9, 2029, and $136,046 in Chilean withholding taxes payable:
Farellón royalty. The Company is committed to paying the vendor a royalty equal to 1.5% on the net sales of minerals extracted from the Farellón Alto 1 - 8 concession up to a total of US$600,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The three-month period ended July 31, 2025, compared to the three-month period ended July 31, 2024.
During the three months ended July 31, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $272,286, compared to a net loss of $234,275 incurred during the three months ended July 31, 2024.
The Company’s total operating expenses during the three months ended July 31, 2025, were $203,649, a decrease of $2,178, as compared to $205,827 for the three months ended July 31, 2024. The most significant factor, which contributed to the reduction in operating expenses, was attributed to $32,742 the Company incurred in general and administrative fees, as compared to $85,081 the Company incurred during the three months ended July 31, 2024; this decrease was mainly associated with lower travel expenses, which decreased by $32,928, from $32,945 incurred during the three months ended July 31, 2024, to $17 the Company incurred during the current period. The Company’s advertising and investor relations expenditures also decreased by $15,807, from $37,976 to $22,169. Additionally, $1,213 incurred in office expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2025, were $4,233 lower than those incurred during the comparative period.
During the same period, the Company incurred $126,272 in exploration expenses, which increased by $124,321 as compared to $1,951 the Company incurred during the comparative period.
