Azimut Exploration Inc. Notes to Financial Statements For the thr --- ee and six-month period ended February 28, 2026 (in Canadian dollars) (6) 1 Nature of operations and general information Azimut Exploration Inc. (“Azimut” or the “Company”), governed by the Business Corporations Act (Quebec), is in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties. The Company’s registered office is at 110 De La Barre Street, Suite 224, Longueuil, Quebec, Canada. The mining and mineral exploration business involves a high degree of risk, and there can be no assurance that planned exploration and development programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol AZM and on the OTCQX Market (“OTCQX”) under the symbol AZMTF. Until it is determined that a property contains mineral reserves or resources that can be economically mined, it is classified as an exploration and evaluation asset (“E&E asset”). It has not yet been determined whether the Company’s properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The recoverability of the amounts shown for E&E assets depends on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the Company's ability to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and evaluation of its properties, and the profitable sale of the E&E assets. Although management has taken steps to verify the titles to mineral properties in which the Company has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration and evaluation of the properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property titles may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and may not comply with regulatory requirements. 2 Summary of material accounting policies The material accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are described below. Basis of preparation These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”). The accounting policies applied to these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in previous fiscal years unless otherwise stated. The Company’s Board of Directors approved these financial statements for issue on April 20, 2026. 3 Cash and cash equivalents As at February 28, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents of $4,100,809 ($13,639,750 – August 31, 2025) included $2.6 million of high-interest savings accounts bearing interest at 2.69% ($9.1 million bearing interest at 3.48% – August 31, 2025), cashable at any time without penalty. 4 Amounts receivable As at As at February 28 August 31, 2026 2025 $ $ Commodity taxes 263,904 338,230 Amounts receivable 1,572,057 25,904 Amounts receivable - Current 1,835,961 364,134 Azimut Exploration Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements For the three and six-month period ended February 28, 2026 (in Canadian dollars) (17) 16 Net earnings (loss) per share F --- or the six-month period ended February 28, 2025, the diluted loss per share was the same as the basic loss per share since the potential dilutive instruments had an anti-dilutive effect. For the three and six-month periods ended February 28, 2026, the diluted net earnings per share were calculated using the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding of 100,627,238 adjusted by the potential dilutive instruments of each stock option where the exercise price was lower than the average market price of the Company’s share. During the three-month period ended February 28, 2026, a total of 829,298 stock options had exercise prices lower than the average market price of the Company’s shares, and 691,934 during the six-month period ended February 28, 2026. As a result, the diluted weighted- average number of shares of 101,319,172 was used to calculate diluted net earnings per share for the six-month period ended February 28, 2026. 17 Additional cash flow information Six-month period ended February 28, 2026 2025 $ $ Acquisition of E&E assets included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities 1,796,338 1,232,881 Depreciation of property & equipment included in E&E assets 90,153 159,713 Refundable duties credit for losses and refundable tax credit for resources presented as a reduction in E&E assets, net 2,336,000 1,354,867 Option payment as a reduction in E&E assets 31,460 - Stock-based compensation included in E&E assets 99,507 103,115 In the year ended August 31, 2025, the Company changed the presentation of the cash flow statement to present advances received for exploration work on a net basis within cash flows from operating activities, as this better reflects the nature of the operations.

The fair value of these financial instruments is either equal to their fair value (investments) or approximates their carrying value due to their short- term maturity or the fact that they bear interest at current market rates. The Company defines the fair value hierarchy under which its financial instruments are valued as follows: Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 includes inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 includes inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data. There was no transfer of hierarchy level during the period ended February 28, 2026.
