Current report

On January 15, 2025, the Company announced the positive results of its Preliminary Economic Assessment Study/Initial Assessment (“Bornite PEA”) for the Bornite copper project. Highlights of the Bornite PEA include the following:

Current report

The Bornite PEA describes the technical and economic viability of establishing an underground mining operation for a 6,000 tonne-per-day operation with a 17-year mine life. The Bornite PEA assumes re-purposing the infrastructure described in the Arctic Feasibility Study for the use with the Bornite Project once the Arctic deposit has been depleted.

Current report

On October 6, 2025, President Trump issued a decision under Section 1106 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (“ANILCA”), granting the permits for the Ambler Access Project (or “Ambler Road”). The decision approved an appeal by the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (“AIDEA”), a public corporation of the State of Alaska, to reverse the Biden Administration’s decision in June 2024 to select the “No Action Alternative” and terminate the previously issued right-of-way grant for the Ambler Road. President Trump directed relevant agencies to promptly reinstate, grant and finalize all necessary permits and authorizations with terms necessary to assure adequate and feasible access for economic and other purposes, such as mining and use of the road for industrial and commercial access. All federal right-of-way permits were subsequently issued and are currently in place.

Current report

The Company has approved its 2026 corporate budget of approximately $5.0 million for public company compliance activities and oversight of Ambler Metals. In January 2026, the Company added capacity to the senior management team to support strategic initiatives and technical expertise to support the advancement of the UKMP.

Current report

The Company has also approved a budget for Ambler Metals for fiscal 2026 in the amount of approximately $35 million of which our share is $17.5 million. The activities at Ambler Metals will focus on re-staffing, initiating the permitting process for the Arctic Project and progressing technical work necessary to support long-term development.

Current report

For the year ended November 30, 2025, we reported a net loss of $42.2 million (or $0.26 basic and diluted loss per common share) compared to a net loss of $8.6 million (or $0.05 basic and diluted loss per common share) in fiscal 2024. The increase in comprehensive loss in the current year was primarily driven by the initial recognition of a derivative liability and the corresponding expense of $8.1 million related to the U.S. government’s proposed collaboration agreement and the fair value adjustment of $22.6 million at the fiscal year end. Additionally, the increase in loss reflects higher salaries paid in cash during 2025, whereas in 2024 a significant portion of executive compensation as settled in common shares of the Company, as part of multi-year cash preservation effort. The increase in the current year loss was also attributable to higher professional fees, including legal and regulatory costs related to the Company’s preparation of base shelf prospectuses, the May ATM Program and the Nov ATM Program. These increases were partially offset by higher interest earned during the year.

Current report

For the fourth quarter of 2025, we incurred a net loss of $34.7 million compared to a net loss of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in net loss is primarily driven by our share of loss from the equity investment in Ambler Metals and the loss on the derivative related to the U.S. government’s proposed strategic investment for shares and warrants carried at fair market value. The increase in comprehensive loss in the current year also reflects higher regulatory expenses and legal fees related to the Company’s preparation of base shelf prospectuses and at-the-market programs and the payment of executive compensation in cash instead of settling the compensation in common shares of the Company.

Current report

During the year ended November 30, 2025, we spent $3.2 million in operating activities, spent $1.0 million in investing activities, and raised $30.0 million in financing activities. Operating expenditures were driven primarily by corporate salaries, professional fees to complete the Bornite PEA, and the preparation of base shelf prospectuses, at-the-market programs, including regulatory filing fees with the U.S. and Canadian securities commissions. In addition, the Company contributed $1.0 million for our share of funding to Ambler Metals. These cash outflows were offset by $30.0 million in proceeds from financing activities, primarily from the May ATM Program and exercise of stock options.

Current report

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the significance of the inputs used in making the measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Current report

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Current report

Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Current report

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Current report

The derivative liability is carried at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of the derivative liability is valued on the basis of Level 3 inputs. The estimated fair value is based on the Company’s common stock price of $4.28 at November 30, 2025 ($2.09 on October 7, 2025), volatility of 79%, a risk-free rate of 3.53% and management’s estimate of the equal probability of completion and non-completion of the Ambler Access Project, which is beyond the control of the Company. A 10% change in the Company’s stock price affects the gain or loss on the derivative liability by approximately $4.8 million at November 30, 2025. A 10% change in management’s estimate of the likelihood of completion affects the gain or loss on the derivative liability by approximately $1.3 million at November 30, 2025.

Current report

In fiscal year 2025, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. Management evaluated the Company’s organizational structure and internal reporting and concluded that the Company continues to operate as one reportable operating segment consistent with prior periods. As required by the ASU, we have provided expanded segment disclosures for fiscal 2025 and applied the guidance retrospectively to fiscal 2024. Adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, or the underlying processes for recording or presenting financial information. The impact of adoption was limited to the expansion of qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to management oversight of our single operating segment.

Current report

The Company measures the proposed strategic investment by the Department of War under the binding letter of intent as a derivative liability at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of this liability requires to the use of significant unobservable inputs and therefore represents a level 3 fair value measurement. The valuation relies on management judgement and assumptions on the completion of the Ambler Access Project which is subject to regulatory, political and permitting processes that are not within the Company’s control. As a result, estimating the probability of project completion requires significant judgement and incorporates inherently uncertain assumptions.

Previous report

Prior to the formation of the Joint Venture on February 11, 2020, we had accounted for the Bornite property as a mineral property with acquisition costs capitalized and exploration costs expensed in accordance with our accounting policies.

Previous report

During the second and third quarter of 2024, Trilogy and South32 agreed to return excess cash held by Ambler Metals to the owners for ease of cash management. Ambler Metals returned $50 million to the owners, of which Trilogy received a total of $25 million in the months of May and June.

Previous report

On April 22, 2024, the Company announced that the United States Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) had filed the final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (“SEIS”) for the AAP on its website. The final SEIS identifies “No Action” as the BLM’s preferred alternative. The proponent for the AAP is AIDEA which is a public corporation of the State of Alaska. AIDEA’s purpose is to promote, develop, and advance general prosperity and economic welfare of the people of Alaska. AIDEA strongly objected to both the process used by the BLM to reach a “No Build” decision and the effect of the decision which AIDEA believes illegally blocks access to statehood lands, minerals, and federally patented mining claims. On May 8, 2024, NANA announced its withdrawal from further involvement with the AAP and stated its intentions to not renew the surface access permit with AIDEA upon the permit’s expiry during the year.

Previous report

On June 28, 2024, the BLM issued the Record of Decision confirming their selection of the No Action alternative and thus denied AIDEA’s application for a right-of-way grant (“ROW Grant”) across BLM-managed lands which terminated the BLM ROW Grant issued to AIDEA on January 5, 2021.

Previous report

On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed the executive order “Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential,” which included a direction to various federal agencies to take steps to (i) “place a temporary moratorium on all activities and privileges granted pursuant” to the record of decision issued on June 28, 2024 “in order to review such record of decision in light of alleged legal deficiencies and for consideration of relevant public interests and,

Previous report

environmental impacts . . . and, as appropriate, conduct a new, comprehensive analysis of such deficiencies, interests, and environmental impacts;” and (ii) “reinstate the record of decision signed on July 23, 2020, by the Bureau of Land Management and United States Army Corps of Engineers entitled ‘Ambler Road Environmental Impact Statement Joint Record of Decision.’” The July 2020 record of decision approved the development of the northern or “Alternative A” route of the proposed 211-mile-long gravel private access road in the southern Brooks Range foothills to provide industrial access to the Ambler Mining District. Trilogy is monitoring the impact of the executive order.

Previous report

The Company has approved a budget for Ambler Metals for fiscal 2025 in the amount of $5.8 million (2024 - $5.5 million). Ambler Metals had $7.5 million of cash as at the fiscal year end on November 30, 2024. The main focus of this year’s budget is to support external and community affairs, maintain the State of Alaska mineral claims in good standing and the maintenance of physical assets.

Previous report

The Company has approved a 2025 cash budget for corporate, head office, activities of approximately $3.1 million (2024 - $2.8 million). The corporate budget consists of personnel and related costs of $0.7 million (2024 - $0.7 million), professional fees of $1.1 million (2024 - $0.6 million), investor relations and marketing costs of $0.2 million ( 2024 - $0.1 million), office related costs of $0.2 million (2024 - $0.4 million), insurance costs of $0.5 million (2024 - $0.6 million), regulatory costs of $0.3 million (2024 - $0.3 million) and exploration activities of $0.1 million (2024 - $0.1 million).

Previous report

For the year ended November 30, 2024, we reported a net loss of $8.6 million (or $0.05 basic and diluted loss per common share) compared to a net loss of $15.0 million (or $0.10 basic and diluted loss per common share) in fiscal 2023. The $6.4 million decrease in comprehensive loss in the current year, when compared to fiscal 2023, is due to the decrease in our share of losses of Ambler Metals of $5.2 million, overall decrease of $0.5 million in general and administrative expenses, professional fee and salaries and directors expense – stock-based compensation and partially offset by the increase in interest income of $0.6 million. The decrease in our share of losses of Ambler Metals of $5.2 million is mainly due to the decrease in corporate wages due to a reduction in staffing and a reduction in mineral property expenses due to a reduction in project activities which was partially offset by the increase in professional fees related to part-time contractors engaged to assist with management of Ambler Metals, along with consultants engaged in government and external affairs.

Previous report

For the fourth quarter of 2024, there was a $1.4 million reduction in expenses compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. When comparing the fourth quarter of 2024 with the fourth quarter of 2023, professional fees increased by $0.2 million due to additional costs related to our Bornite preliminary economic assessment reports in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in our share of losses of Ambler Metals of $1.2 million is mainly due to the decrease in mineral property expenses over the comparative quarter in the prior year were from a reduction in activities both at the project level and at the AAP.

Previous report

The following annual information is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Previous report

Factors that can cause fluctuations in our quarterly results include the length of the exploration field season at the properties, the type of program conducted, and stock-based compensation expense. Subsequent to the formation of the Joint Venture, project related costs may cause fluctuations in our quarterly results through our 50% share of the Joint Venture’s net operating loss.

Previous report

For the fourth quarter of 2024, we reported a comprehensive loss of $1.6 million, which consisted of $1.5 million in operating expenses and $0.6 million for Trilogy's 50% share of Ambler Metals’ operating loss, partially offset with interest earned of $0.5 million. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 consisted of corporate salaries, professional fees, general and administrative expenses, director expenses and stock-based compensation.

Previous report

For the third quarter of 2024, we reported a net loss of $1.6 million compared to a net loss of $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in comprehensive loss in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter in 2023

Previous report

is primarily due to the decrease in our share of loss of Ambler Metals. The decrease of our share of losses of Ambler Metals is mainly due to the decrease in corporate wages and in mineral property expenses partially offset from the increase in professional fees. The primary drivers in decrease in mineral property expenses over the comparative quarter in the prior year were from a reduction in activities both at the project level and at the AAP.

Previous report

For the second quarter of 2024, we reported a net loss of $1.8 million compared to a net loss of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in comprehensive loss in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter in 2023 is due to the decrease in general and administrative, professional fees, our share of loss of Ambler Metals, and stock-based compensation and salaries. The decrease of our share of losses of Ambler Metals is mainly due to the decrease in corporate wages and in mineral property expenses partially offset from the increase in professional fees. The primary drivers in decrease in mineral property expenses over the comparative quarter in the prior year were from a reduction in activities both at the project level and at the AAP.

Previous report

For the first quarter of 2024, we reported a net loss of $3.6 million compared to a net loss of $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in comprehensive loss in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter in 2023 is due to the decrease in our share of loss of Ambler Metals, and stock-based compensation and salaries. The decrease of our share of losses of Ambler Metals is mainly due to the decrease corporate wages and in mineral property expenses. The primary drivers in decrease in mineral property expenses over the comparative quarter in the prior year were from the decrease in project support costs and cost at the AAP.

Previous report

We expended $1.8 million on operating activities during the 2024 fiscal year with the majority of cash spent on corporate salaries, professional fees related to our annual regulatory filings, annual insurance renewal, annual fees paid to the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE American Exchange and with the American and Canadian securities commissions.

Previous report

All project related costs are funded by the Joint Venture. Ambler Metals had cash and working capital of $7.5 million as at November 30, 2024. There are sufficient funds at the Joint Venture to fund an operating budget of $5.8 million for fiscal 2025.

Previous report

Currency risk is the risk of a fluctuation in financial asset and liability settlement amounts due to a change in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in the United States and Canada. The Company’s exposure to currency risk at November 30, 2024 is limited to Canadian dollar balances consisting of cash of CDN$116,000, accounts receivable of CDN$23,000 and certain trade payables and accrued personnel costs CDN$548,000. Based on a 10% change in the US-Canadian exchange rate, assuming all other variables remain constant, the Company’s net loss would change by approximately $29,000.

Previous report

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company holds cash with Canadian chartered financial institutions. The Company’s only significant exposure to credit risk is equal to the balance of cash as recorded in the financial statements. The majority of the Company’s cash held at November 30, 2024 is uninsured. The Company does not consider any of its financial assets to be impaired as of November 30, 2024.

Previous report

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will encounter difficulties raising funds to meet our financial obligations as they fall due. We are in the exploration stage and do not have cash inflows from operations; therefore, we manage liquidity risk through the management of our capital structure and financial leverage. Future sources of liquidity may arise from equity financing, debt financing, convertible debt, or other means.

Previous report

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to interest earned on cash. Based on balances as at November 30, 2024, a 1% change in interest rates would result a change of approximately $250,000 over a one-year period, assuming all other variables remain constant.

Previous report

As we are currently in the exploration phase, none of our financial instruments are exposed to commodity price risk; however, our ability to obtain long-term financing and its economic viability could be affected by commodity price volatility.

Previous report

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. AUS 2023-7 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The standard is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company will be evaluating the impact of the guidance on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Previous report

We must make estimates and judgments in determining the provision for income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties. We are subject to income tax law in the United States and Canada. The evaluation of tax liabilities involving uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulation is based on factors such as changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, new audit activity, and effectively settled issues. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position requires significant judgment, and a change in such judgement would result in an additional charge to the income tax expense and liability.

Ambler Metals is an independently operated company, jointly controlled by Trilogy and South32 through a four-member board of which two members are currently appointed by Trilogy based on its 50% equity interest. All significant decisions related to the UKMP require the approval of both companies. We determined that Ambler Metals is a variable interest entity, or VIE, because it is expected to need additional funding from its owners for its significant activities. However, we concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of Ambler Metals as the power to direct its activities, through its board, is shared under the limited liability company agreement. As we have significant influence over Ambler Metals through our representation on its board, we use the equity method of accounting for our investment in Ambler Metals. Our maximum exposure to loss in this entity is limited to the carrying amount of our investment in Ambler Metals, which, as of November 30, 2024, totaled $107.5 million.
