Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) 1 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN US Copper Corp. (“US Copper” or the “Company”) is a public company amalgamated under the laws of Canada on August 30, 2010. The Company’s head office is located at 330 Zeller Dr., Kitchener, ON, N2A 0B5. The Company is an exploration stage company and currently has interests in exploration properties in Ontario, Canada and, through wholly owned subsidiaries, has interests in exploration properties in Nevada and California, USA. Substantially all of the Company’s efforts are devoted to financing, exploring and evaluating these properties. There has been no determination whether the Company's interests in mineral properties contain mineral reserves which are economically recoverable. As at September 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $1,138,372 (December 31, 2024 – working capital deficiency of $84,963), had not yet achieved profitable operations, had accumulated deficit of $22,314,570 (December 31, 2024 – $21,461,416) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast significant doubt as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern. The business of exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, and the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis, all of which are uncertain. Failure to achieve the above could have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is cond --- ucting exploration and evaluation activities, and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements, non-compliance with regulatory requirements or aboriginal land claims. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION 2.1 Statement of compliance and presentation These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) as at November 28, 2025. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 28, 2025. US COPPER CORP. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) 2 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) 2.1 Statement of compliance and presentation (continued) The notes herein include only significant transactions and events occurring since the Company’s last fiscal year end and are not fully inclusive of all matters required to be disclosed in the annual audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. 2.2 Use of management estimates, judgments and measurement uncertainty The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements using accounting policies consistent with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as at the date of the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The most significant estimates relate to valuation of deferred income tax amounts and the calcula --- tion of share-based payments and warrants. Significant estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are outlined below: Going concern assumption Going concern presentation of the consolidated financial statements assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. Income taxes The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Valuation of share-based payments and warrants The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to determine the fair value for share-based payments and warrants and utilizes subjective assumptions such as expected price volatility and expected life of the option or warrant. Discrepancies in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate. US COPPER CORP. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) 3 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) 2.2 Use of management estimates, judgments and measurement uncertainty (continued) Functional currency The Company’s management is required to make judgments as to the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates to determine the functional currency of the entity. The Company has determined that the functional currency of the parent company and its Canadian and US subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. 3. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties. The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital to include all components of shareholders’ equity. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or econom --- ic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, and the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company considers its capital to be equity, which is comprised of share capital, reserve for warrants and share-based payments and accumulated deficit, which as at September 30, 2025, totaled equity of $1,157,473 (December 31, 2024 – Deficit of $62,487). The Company's objective when managing capital is to obtain adequate levels of funding to support its exploration activities, to obtain corporate and administrative functions necessary to support organizational functioning and to obtain sufficient funding to further the identification of mineral deposits. The Company raises capital, as necessary, to meet its needs and take advantage of perceived opportunities and, therefore, does not have a numeric target for its capital structure. Funds are primarily secured through equity capital raised by way of private placements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue raising equity capital in this manner. The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate operational needs in interest bearing accounts with a Canadian financial institution. 4. FINANCIAL INSTURMENT RISK FACTORS Credit Risk The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in interest bearing deposits issued by its banking institutions. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at September 30, 2025, is the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents. The majority of the Company’s cash is held in Canadian chartered banks. US COPPER CORP. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) 4 4. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS (continued) Market Risk Foreign Currency Risk The Company's exploration and evaluation activities are substantially denominated in Canadian dollars and United States dollars. The Company's funds are predominantly kept in Canadian dollars, with a major Canadian financial institution. Equity Price Risk Market risk arises from the possibility that changes in market prices will affect the value of the financial instruments of the Company. The Company’s maximum exposure to fair value fluctuations as at September 30, 2025, is the fair value of marketable securities. The Company's other financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables) are not subject to equity price risk. Fair Value Marketable securities are classified as fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) and investments are classified as available for sale, which are both measured at fair value. Fair value of marketable securities and investments are determined based on bid-ask spread at each reporting date and is categorized as Level 1 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortized cost which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. Trade and other payables are measured at amortized cost which also a --- pproximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: ? Level one includes quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ? Level two includes inputs that are observable other than quoted prices included in level one. ? Level three includes inputs that are not based on observable market data. Liquidity Risk The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at September 30, 2025, the Company had current assets of $1,192,536 (December 31, 2024 - $83,265) and current liabilities of $54,164 (December 31, 2024 - $168,228). The Company’s trade and other payables are subject to normal trade terms. As at September 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $1,138,372 (December 31, 2024 - Deficiency of $84,963). Interest Rate Risk The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk due to the short-term nature of its financial instruments. 5. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The balance at September 30, 2025, consists of cash on deposit with Canadian banks in general non-interest- bearing accounts totaling $1,024,605 (December 31, 2024 - $7,215) and $33,860 (December 31, 2024 - $33,860) in short-term guaranteed cashable investment certificates and fixed instruments with remaining fixed maturities on the date of purchase of less than 90 days.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES As at September 30, 2025, marketable securities consisted of shares and warrants in publicly-traded companies at a cost of $253,000 (December 31, 2024 - $211,750) and a fair value of $114,000 (December 31, 2024 - $38,250). The Company recorded an increase in change of fair value on marketable securities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 of $34,500 (2024 – decrease of $46,000) as a result of this revaluation to market value. As at September 30, 2025, the marketable securities consisted of 1,000,000 (2024 – 1,000,000) shares in Global Copper Corp. (formerly Li3 Lithium Corp.) (“Global Copper”), 1,000,000 (2024 – 250,000) shares in Mink Ventures Corporation (“MINK”) and 250,000 (2024 – 250,000) warrants in MINK. The value of the MINK warrants as at September 30, 2025, were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life – 0.75 years, dividend yield – 0%, risk-free interest rate – 2.41%, exercise price - $0.25, market price on value date - $0.10 and expected volatility – 1104%. See note 10 for further details on acquisition of marketable securities. 7. OTHER RECEIVABLES The Company’s other receivables arise from harmonized sales tax (“HST”) due from the Canadian government. The HST receivable is not past due as at September 30, 2025. As at, September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 HST receivable $ 20,071 $ 3,940 Total other receivables $ 20,071 $ 3,940 8. Capital Assets Vehicles Total Cost As at September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and $ 43,916 $ 43,916 Accumulated amortization As at December 31, 2023 $ 15,820 $ 15,820 Amortization 5,620 5,620 As at December 31, 2024 $ 21,440 $ 21,440 Amortization 3,375 3,375 As at September 30, 2025 $ 24,815 $ 24,815 Net book value As at December 31, 2024 $ 22,476 $ 22,476 As at September 30, 2025 $ 19,101 $ 19,101 Amortization fo --- r the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 of $3,375 (2024 - $2,810) is included in exploration and evaluation expenditures. 9. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Trade and other payables of the Company are principally comprised of amounts outstanding for trade purchases relating to operating activities. The usual credit period taken for trade purchases is between 30 to 90 days. US COPPER CORP.

The, 36 patented claims under lease are subject to an underlying net smelter royalty of 2%. The conditions of the lease include an annual lease payment of US$20,000 per year and an annual work obligation of US$25,000. The Company has a right, should it elect, to purchase the leased patented claims for US$10,000,000, and if purchased, the leased patented claims will be subject to a minimum annual net smelter royalty payment schedule of US$600,000 per year to replace the current annual lease payment until the agreement is terminated or it reaches the capped net smelter return of US$25,000,000, subject to CPI adjustments.
