CORPORATE INFORMATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS Southstone Minerals Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on April 10, 2007. The Company holds a 43% interest in the Oena Diamond Mine (“Oena”), an alluvial diamond property, located in the Northern Cape Province, Republic of South Africa that consists of one New Order Mining Lease. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX.V”), under the symbol SML. The address of the Company’s corporate office is 2751 Graham Street, Victoria, British Columbia, V8T 3Z1 Canada. 2. GOING CONCERN These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations in the foreseeable future. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the
---
Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At November 30, 2025, the Company had negative working capital of $1,479,878 and an accumulated deficit of $22,319,086. The Company will require additional financing in order to further develop its business, meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption was not used, then the adjustments required to report the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis could be material to these consolidated financial statements. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 7 3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 3.1 Statement of compliance These consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 28, 2026. 3.2 Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 5. Certain comparative amounts have been retrospectively reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income or equity. 3.3 Principles of consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). The results of each subsidiary will continue to be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company until the date that the Company's control over the subsidiary ceases. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Details of controlled entities are as follows: Percentage owned * Country of incorporation November 30, 2025 August 31, 2025 TGV Resources (Pty) Ltd (“TGV”) South Africa 100% 100% African Star Minerals (Pty) Limited (“ASM”) South Africa 43% 43% GAH Mining (Pty) Ltd (“GAH”) South Africa 100% 100% *Percentage of voting power is in proportion to ownership, except for ASM (see below). Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption

and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including: SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 8 3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE (continued) 3.3 Principles of consolidation (continued) • The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights • The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee; • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (loss) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. The Company holds 43% interest in ASM but continues to have the highest percentage shareholding and has elected the majority of the board of directors (the “Board”). The Company maintains control over the entity based on the following factors: i) any shareholder can appoint one director of ASM for every 20% shareholding and may remove or replace any appointee; ii) board decision is taken by a simple majority of the votes, and the chairman of the Board of ASM is appointed from a director that represents the shareholder with the highest percentage shareholding and the chairman is granted a second or casting vote to give the Company control of the Board; and iii) the Board is responsible for the overall direction, supervision and management of ASM.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND INFORMATION 4.1 Exploration and evaluation expenditures Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are expensed as incurred. Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses and costs associated with exploration and evaluation activities, net of recoveries and sale of tailings. Option payments are considered acquisition costs provided that the Company has the intention of exercising the underlying option. Property option agreements are exercisable entirely at the option of the optionee. Therefore, option payments (or recoveries) are recorded when payment is made (or received) an
---
d are not accrued. Acquisition costs are capitalized, and exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed in the period which they incur. The Company capitalizes costs to specific blocks of claims or areas of geological interest. Due to the negative political and economic environment in South Africa together with the decline in production, management decided to fully impair the Oena exploration and evaluation asset in the year ended August 31, 2021. There was no indication that the impairment no longer exists and has decreased as of November 30, 2025. Government tax credits received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs incurred and capitalized on the related property. Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment if facts or circumstances indicate that impairment exists. Examples of such facts and circumstances are as follows: • the period for which the Company has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; • substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; • exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; and • sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. After technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, the Company stops capitalizing expenditures for the applicable block of claims or geological area of interest and tests the asset for impairment. The capitalized balance, net of any impairment recognized, is then reclassified to either tangible or intangible mine development assets according to the nature of the asset. Although the Company has taken steps that it considers adequate to verify title to exploration and evaluation assets in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Title to exploration and evaluation assets in foreign jurisdictions is subject to uncertainty and consequently, such properties may be subject to prior undetected agreements or transfers and title may be affected by such instances.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND INFORMATION (continued) 4.2 Foreign currency transactions The functional currency of the Company, the parent, is the Canadian Dollar. The functional currency of the subsidiaries incorporated in Republic of South Africa is the South African Rand (“ZAR”). The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the Canadian Dollar. Transactions and balances: Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. At each statement of financial position date, foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction.
---
Non-monetary items that are stated at fair value are translated using historical rate on the date that fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of these foreign currency transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Foreign operations: The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Company’s presentation currency are translated as follows: • assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; and • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and recorded in the Company’s foreign currency translation reserve in equity. These differences are recognized in the profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 11 4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND INFORMATION (continued) 4.3 Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in net loss. Amortization Amortization in profit or loss is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: • Vehicles 12.5% • Equipment 33% • Plant 33% 4.4 Leases The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A lease is recognized as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability at the commencement date. Each lease payment included in the lease liability is apportioned between the repayment of the liability and an interest expense. Lease liabilities represent the net present value of fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments); variable lease payments based on an index, rate, or subject to a fair market value renewal condition; amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if it is probable that the lessee will exercise that option. The Company’s lease liability is recognized net of lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The period over which the lease payments are discounted is the expected lease term, including renewal and termination options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Payments associated wit
---
h short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis in general and administration and sales and marketing expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Short- term leases are defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index, rate, or subject to a fair market value renewal condition are expensed as incurred, in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which is calculated as the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs and related restoration costs. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the asset. During the period ended November 30, 2025 and year ended August 31, 2025, the Company does not have material lease contracts.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND INFORMATION (continued) 4.5 Income Taxes Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss. Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 4.6 Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s profit or loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant period. Diluted profit or loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s profit or loss applicable to common shares, by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive instruments were converted at the beginning of the period. 4.7 Share-based payments Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees or non-empl
---
oyees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. The number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date is taken into account so that the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Non-vesting conditions and market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied. Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modifications, is charged to the Company’s profit or loss over the remaining vesting period. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 13 4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND INFORMATION (continued) 4.7 Share-based payments (continued) Where equity instruments are granted to employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the equity instrument granted at the grant date. The grant date fair value is recognized in profit or loss over the vesting period, described as the period during which all the vesting conditions are to be satisfied. Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in profit or loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital. When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment with non-employees cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in equity reserve, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in equity reserve is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid. Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and immediately recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. 4.8 Financial instruments (i) Non-derivative financial assets Financial assets are classified into one of three categories: (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); or (iii) fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial asset is measured at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition except for financial assets at FVTPL where transaction costs are expensed. All financial assets not classified and measured at
---
amortized cost or FVOCI are classified as FVTPL. On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income (loss). Financial assets classified as amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premiums on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest method. Amortization from the effective interest method is included in finance income. Financial assets classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in profit or loss. Equity investments designated as FVTOCI are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Dividends from that investment are recorded in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive payment of the dividend is established unless they represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. The Company classifies cash and receivables as amortized cost with subsequent impairments recognized in profit or loss.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND INFORMATION (continued) 4.8 Financial instruments (continued) (i) Non-derivative financial assets (continued) Impairment An ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. (ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified into one of two categories: (i) amortized cost; and (ii) FVTPL, Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs except for liabilities classified as FVTPL, in which case transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Subsequently, financial liabilities classified as amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and allocating the interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. The Company classifies trade and other payables, promissory notes, loa
---
ns payable, and due to related party as amortized cost. Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated. (iii) Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The Company has not designated any derivative contracts as hedges and therefore has not applied hedge accounting in these consolidated financial statements. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 15 4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND INFORMATION (continued) 4.9 Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests is measured at its proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets or liabilities. Net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss for the period are allocated between non-controlling interest and shareholders of the parent. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries must be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent. Changes in the Company’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. 4.10 Impairment of non-financial assets The carrying amount of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Any reversal of impairment cannot increase the carrying value of the asset to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years. Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND INFORMATION (continued) 4.11 Restoration and environmental obligations Mine rehabilitation costs will be incurred by the Company either while operating, or at the end of the operating life of, the Company’s facilities and mine
---
properties. The Company assesses its mine rehabilitation provision at each reporting date. The Company recognizes a rehabilitation provision where it has a legal and constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made. The nature of these restoration activities includes: dismantling and removing structures; rehabilitating mines and tailings dams; dismantling operating facilities; closing plant and waste sites; and restoring, reclaiming and revegetating affected areas. The obligation generally arises when the asset is installed or the ground/environment is disturbed at the mining operation’s location. When the liability is initially recognized, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related mining assets to the extent that it was incurred as a result of the development/construction of the mine. Any rehabilitation obligations that arise through the production of inventory are recognized as part of the related inventory item. Additional disturbances that arise due to further development/construction at the mine are recognized as additions or charges to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability when they occur. Costs related to the restoration of site damage (subsequent to the start of commercial production) that is created on an ongoing basis during production are provided for at their net present values and recognized in profit or loss as extraction progresses. Changes in the estimated timing of rehabilitation or changes to the estimated future costs are dealt with prospectively by recognizing an adjustment to the rehabilitation liability and a corresponding adjustment to the asset to which it relates, if the initial estimate was originally recognized as part of an asset measured in accordance with IAS 16. Any reduction in the rehabilitation liability and, therefore, any deduction from the asset to which it relates, may not exceed the carrying amount of that asset. If it does, any excess over the carrying value is taken immediately to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. If the change in estimate results in an increase in the rehabilitation liability and, therefore, an addition to the carrying value of the asset, the Company considers whether this is an indication of impairment of the asset as a whole, and if so, tests for impairment. If, for mature mines, the estimate for the revised mine assets net of rehabilitation provisions exceeds the recoverable value, that portion of the increase is charged directly to expense. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the change in present value based on the discount rates that reflect current market assessments and the risks specific to the liability. The periodic unwinding of the discount is recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of finance costs. For closed sites, changes to estimated costs are recognized immediately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND INFORMATION (continued) 4.12 Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue usin
---
g a five-step model. The core principal is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of control of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled for those goods and services. The Company generates revenue from the sale of diamonds (the “Product”) pursuant to contractual arrangements with its customers, being the diamond bidders. The Company bears the inventory risk as diamonds are consigned at the tender house’s facility and has the right to determine the final price to sell the diamonds. Tender house acts as an agent to sell the diamonds through auction on behalf of the Company. Following the auction, the tender house invoices the buyer for the purchase price of the diamond, collects payment from the buyer, and remits to the Company the net sale proceeds after deducting its commissions and applicable expenses. Commissions are calculated as a percentage of the hammer price of the property sold at auction. In accordance with IFRS 15, the Company only has one performance obligation, which is the sale of diamonds to the customer. Therefore, revenue is recognized when control or title of the Product is transferred from the Company and collection is reasonably assured in accordance with specified contract terms. All revenue is generally earned at a point in time and is based on the consideration that the Company expects to receive for the transfer of the Product to the customer. Payment terms with customers are generally 30 days from the date of the invoice. The Company generally does not have any sales contracts where the period between the transfer of the Product to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a result, the Company does not adjust its revenue transactions for the time value of money. 4.13 Fair value of warrants The Company measures the fair value of warrants issued from financings using the residual method, and compensatory warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model. When warrants are issued, the fair value is recorded in the warrant reserve, with the corresponding entry to share capital. When warrants are exercised, their fair value is removed from the warrant reserve account and recorded as share capital. 4.14 Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-makers. The Company’s executive management team has been identified as the chief operating decision- makers and are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. 4.15 Inventory and supplies Inventories, which are rough diamonds, are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value is recognized in the period the write-down occurs. Cost is determined on a per diamond sold basis and includes the respective contractor’s mining costs, separately tracked and recognized in the Company’s cost of goods sold and inventory. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less all estimated costs to completion and selling expenses.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND INFORMATION (continued) 4.16 Accounting standards issued
---
Issuance of IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements, which replaces IAS 1 while retaining many of its existing principles with limited changes. IFRS 18 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including comparative information. It does not affect the recognition or measurement of financial statement items but may impact the presentation of “operating profit or loss”. Key changes introduced by IFRS 18 include: • A revised structure for the statement of profit or loss; • new requirements for management-defined performance measures reported outside the financial statements; and • enhanced principles for aggregation and disaggregation across the financial statements and notes. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 18 on its financial statements. 4.17 Accounting standards issued but not yet effective A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the period ended November 30, 2025, and have not been applied in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. None of these pronouncements are expected to have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 19 5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued) Estimates and assumptions where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include: i) recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. Forecasted cash flows from operations are based on life of mine projections internally developed and reviewed by management. The likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities is assessed based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position evaluated in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets. Estimates and assumptions
---
where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include: ii) provisions for restoration and environmental obligations and contingent liabilities The Company assesses its provision for reclamation and remediation on an annual basis or when new material information becomes available. Mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. In general, these laws and regulations are continually changing and the Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Accounting for reclamation and remediation obligations requires management to make estimates of the future costs the Company will incur to complete the reclamation and remediation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations at each mining operation and exploration and development property. Actual costs incurred may differ from those amounts estimated. Also, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of reclamation and remediation work required to be performed by the Company. Increases in future costs could materially impact the amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation. The provision represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future reclamation and remediation obligation. The actual future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued) Significant judgments The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in applying the Company’s financial statements include: i) assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty (Note 2); The assessment of the Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually assessed and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. ii) determination of control over ASM (Note 3.3); The determination of control of subsidiaries involves significant judgment. De facto control exists in circumstances when an entity owns less than 50% voting rights in another entity but has control for reason other than voting rights or contractual and other statutory means. The consolidated financial statements include the results of ASM as management has determined that the Company has de facto control over ASM. The Company has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of ASM and controls the Board of Directors. iii) determination of the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries; and The determination of functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries requires significant judgments. Management considered all of the relevant primary and secondary factors in making this determination. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Inte

PROMISSORY NOTES During the year ended August 31, 2018, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $240,408 (US$185,000), interest bearing at 3% per annum to a third party, with no fixed terms of repayment. As at November 30, 2025, $324,464 (US$231,967) (August 31, 2025, $316,615 (US$230,241)) was outstanding. During the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company issued a combination of secured and unsecured convertible notes at 12% interest, with a maturity date of June 19, 2016 for the secured convertible note and maturity dates of January 10, 2016 and October 30, 2016, respectively, for the unsecured convertible notes. All related conversion options expired on the respective maturity date and, as a result, the convertible notes have since became ordinary promissory notes. As at November 30, 2025, $258,590 was outstanding (August 31, 2025 - $250,610). A continuity schedule of the previously convertible promissory notes due is as follows: SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 23 10. LOANS PAYABLE In November 2021, the Company through ASM entered into a Loan and Offtake Agreement with Hall of Diamonds Pty Ltd (“HOD”), pursuant to which HOD provided an unsecured loan to ASM for ZAR 750,000 for a term of two years (“Loan 1”). During the year ended August 31, 2025, the term end date was extended to December 31, 2025. As consideration for the loan, HOD received a right to purchase all of the diamonds produced from Oena by the Company (“Offtake Right 1”). Offtake Right 1 shall expire on the date that HOD has received a minimum sales value of ZAR 750,000. The sale price of the diamonds produced from Oena shall be determined by an independent evaluator appointed by ASM in its sole discretion. In July and October 2025, the Company repaid ZAR 500,000 and ZAR 250,000 to HOD, respectively, to settle Loan 1. In April 2022, the Company through ASM entered into another Loan and Offtake Agreement with HOD, pursuant to which HOD provided an unsecured loan to ASM for ZAR 1,500,000 for a term of two years (“Loan 2”). During the year ended August 31, 2025, the term end date was extended to December 31, 2025. As consideration for the loan, HOD received a right to purchase all diamonds produced from Oena (“Offtake Right 2”), Offtake Right 2 shall expire on the date that HOD has received minimum sales value of ZAR 1,500,000. The sales price ("Valuation Price") of the diamonds produced from Oena shall be the highest price bid during the tender process at a designated tender house located in the Republic of South Africa or an independent evaluator appointed by ASM in its sole discretion. HOD will be allowed to purchase all or a portion of the diamonds at the tender house by paying the Valuation Price to ASM plus any outstanding commissions (typically 1.5%) to the te

nder house. In October and November 2025, the Company repaid ZAR 1,000,000 and ZAR 500,000 to HOD, respectively, to settle Loan 2. Due to the new term end date extensions for Loan 1 and Loan 2 during the year ended August 31, 2025, the Company, per IFRS 9, was required to assess whether the change in each Loan was substantial or not substantial. Given the discounted present value of the modified cash flows differed by more than 10% for both Loan 1 and Loan 2, the Company concluded the change was substantial, requiring the Company to extinguish these loans and recognize new ones. This resulted in a gain on extinguishment of Loan 1 and Loan 2 of $23,674 (ZAR 306,814) in the year ended August 31, 2025. During the period ended November 30, 2025, the reissued Loan 1 incurred an accretion expense of $945 (ZAR 11,721) (November 30, 2024 - $Nil). As at August 31, 2025, for reissued Loan 1, an amount of $Nil remains outstanding (August 31, 2025 - $18,533 (ZAR 238,279)). During the period ended November 30, 2025, the reissued Loan 2 incurred an accretion expense of $5,670 (ZAR 70,328) (November 30, 2024 - $Nil). As at August 31, 2025, for reissued Loan 2, an amount of $Nil remains outstanding (August 31, 2025 - $111,200 (ZAR 1,429,672)). In August 2022, ASM entered into an advance agreement with HOD for ZAR 600,000. During the year ended August 31, 2025, the term end date was extended to December 31, 2025. This advance will be repaid with proceeds from Oena mining production revenues. In July 2024 and October 2025, the Company repaid ZAR 500,000 and ZAR 100,000, respectively, to HOD. As at August 31, 2025, there was a balance of $Nil (August 31, 2025 - $7,778 (ZAR 100,000)) outstanding on this advance payable. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 24 10. LOANS PAYABLE (continued) On January 29, 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured term loan agreement with third party, CC Mining Limited, for $80,652 (USD 60,000), interest bearing at the aggregate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and a margin of 8% per annum, with a maturity date of September 30, 2024. During the period ended November 30, 2025, the Company amended the maturity date to April 30, 2026. As at November 30, 2025, there was a balance of $107,042 (US$76,574) (August 31, 2025, $101,852 (US$74,066)). General covenants in relation to this loan include: • The Company shall not sell, assign, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of in any manner (or purport to do so) all or any part of, or any interest in, its assets. • The Company shall not: o create, or permit to subsist, any security on or over any of its assets; or o sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any of its assets on terms whereby such assets are or may be leased to or re-acquired or acquired by it; or o sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its Receivables; or o enter into any arrangement under which money or the benefit of a bank or other account may be applied, set-off or made subject to a combination of accounts; or o enter into any other preferential arrangement having a similar effect, in circumstances where the arrangement or transaction is entered into primarily as a method of raising borrowed money or of financing the acquisition of an asset which would cause any indebtedness to the Company. During the year ended August 31, 2025, ASM entered into

three advance agreements with Grazia Diamonds (Pty) Limited for $429,193 (ZAR 5,700,000) and these advances have been fully repaid with proceeds from Oena mining production revenue. The continuity of the Company’s outstanding loans is as follows: SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 25 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The related party transactions are in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount which is the amount agreed by the related parties. Related party transactions not presented elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements are disclosed below: Key management personnel are those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. Key management personnel include chief executive officer and chief financial officer and members of its Board of Directors. The remuneration of key management personnel was presented in the above table. Key management personnel were not paid post-employment benefit, termination fees or other long-term benefits during the periods ended November 30, 2025 and 2024. In addition, as at November 30, 2025, $532,289 is owed to directors and officers of the Company (August 31, 2025 - $483,491). Amounts owing are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand. 12. REHABILITATION PROVISION A continuity of the Company’s rehabilitation provision is as follows: As at November 30, 2025, the rehabilitation requirements relate to Oena Diamond Mine, Republic of South Africa. For the year ended August 31, 2025, the Company contracted the independent services of Site Plan Consulting to provide a document that updates the definition and measurement of current mining disturbances, the rehabilitation methodology required for each disturbance and cost to conduct such rehabilitation based on discussion with contractors involved in the industry to determine rates (the “Rehabilitation Report”). The Rehabilitation Report provides estimate of total amount of cash required to complete rehabilitation on the following: buildings and plant, dump rounding, excavation edge sloping and rounding, backfill into adjacent pit, roads, fine tailings dam cover, smooth dump areas, berm levelling and backfill through load, haul and tip. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 26 12. REHABILITATION PROVISION (continued) Site Plan Consulting concluded the total calculated rehabilitation cost for the Oena Diamond Mine to be $515,456 (ZAR 6,627,121) at August 31, 2025. The total calculated rehabilitation cost estimate in the previous year was $421,788 (ZAR 5,554,954) at August 31, 2024 for a total increase of $93,668 (ZAR 1,072,167) (August 31, 2024 - increase of $109,392 (ZAR 1,499,201)). The change is primarily a result of an increase in excavation edge sloping and rounding costs. Mining is ongoing as of the date of this report and rehabilitation will be completed on an ongoing basis with backfilling of pits and other items noted above during ongoing mining operations. Estimates and assumptions are made in determining the site restoration provision as there are various factors that will affect the ultimate liability. Those un

certainties may result in future actual rehabilitation costs differing from the amount currently recorded in a positive or negative way. It is important to note that all contractors on site at Oena Diamond Mine have a financial obligation, as per their contractor agreement, to ensure that any and all rehabilitation is completed before they leave the mine site and before formal termination of their contract. The ultimate rehabilitation responsibility rests with the Company as it is the mining permit holder. There are uncertainties that the contractors may or may not complete the rehabilitation before they leave. At November 30, 2025, the Company carries $110,451 (ZAR 1,351,000) (August 31, 2025 - $105,081 (ZAR 1,351,000)) in deposits as security against the liability. Refer to Note 19 regarding commitments for additional deposits. 13. SHARE CAPITAL (a) Authorized Unlimited number of common shares without par value. (b) Issued Period Ended November 30, 2025 • There were no share capital transactions in the period. Year Ended August 31, 2025 • There were no share capital transactions in the year. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 27 14. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS The Company has a stock option plan whereby the maximum number of shares reserved for issue under the plan shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, as at the date of the grant. The maximum number of common shares reserved for issue to any one person under the plan cannot exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding number of common shares at the date of the grant and the maximum number of common shares reserved for issue to a consultant or a person engaged in investor relations activities cannot exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding number of common shares at the date of the grant. Options may be granted for a maximum term of ten years from the date of the grant, are non-transferable and expire within 90 days of termination of employment or holding office as a director or officer of the Company and, in the case of death, expire within one year thereafter. Upon death, the options may be exercised by legal representation or designated beneficiaries of the holder of the option. Stock options vest 50% on grant date and 50% within 365 days from the grant date, except for certain investor relations consultants. 15. CAPITAL RISK 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 development of mineral properties and its engineering services. 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 its shareholders’ equity (deficiency). 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 economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and bel
---
ieves 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 period ended November 30, 2025. The Company considers its capital to be shareholders’ equity (deficiency), which is comprised of share capital, reserves, deficit and non-controlling interest. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 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 obtain sufficient funding to further the identification and development of precious metals 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 short term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash, and short-term guarantee deposits, all held with major Canadian and South African financial institutions. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 28 16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair Value The carrying amount of cash, receivables, trade and other payables, promissory notes, loans payable and due to related parties approximate fair value due to the relatively short term maturity of these financial instruments. Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped into a hierarchy based on the degree to which the fair value is observable. Level 1 fair value measurements are derived from unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 fair value measurements are derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability directly or indirectly. Level 3 fair value measurements are derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. As at November 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company does not have financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Credit and Concentration Risk Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and receivables. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Cash are held with reputable Canadian and South African chartered banks which are closely monitored by management. Trade receivables are usually received within 30 days. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company. The Com

pany generates cash flow from both operations as well as financing activities. As at November 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $496,190 to settle current liabilities of $2,598,506. The Company intends to meet its financial commitments through loans, private placements, debt conversion, and revenue generated from its operations. All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 365 days and are subject to normal trade terms. Interest Rate Risk The Company has cash balances and no variable interest-bearing debt. The Company is not subject to significant interest rate risk. Foreign 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 their respective functional currency. Diamonds from the South African operations are tendered in United States Dollars and settled in South African Rands at the average rate on the day that the tender closes. The main debt instruments of the group are denominated in Canadian, United States Dollars and South African Rand. The group does not enter into forward cover. As a result, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses will arise from financial instruments that are unsettled at reporting date and realized foreign exchange gains and losses will arise from the derecognition of financial instruments at the prevailing rate. A 10% appreciation (weakening) in the USD against the CAD, with all other variables held constant, would result in an $45,486 increase (decrease) to net income for the period ended November 30, 2025. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 29 17.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION For the period ended November 30, 2025, the Company had one reportable segment which was the acquisition, exploration, evaluation, development and mining of mineral properties. As at November 30, 2025 and 2024, all of the Company’s revenue was earned in South Africa and all long-term assets were held in South Africa. 19. COMMITMENTS The Company has committed to making additional deposits of $147,562 (ZAR 1,804,928) (August 31, 2025 - $140,387 (ZAR 1,804,928)). In connection with its rehabilitation provision, as per financial provision requirements accepted by the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) on December 1, 2022, there is no formal deadline to make the deposit, however the Company typically complies on an annual basis in connection with filing its estimate of the total asset retirement obligation, as disclosed in Note 12. On August 31, 2023, the Company entered into three Contract Mining and Diamond Recovery Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Zandfontein Delwery (Pty) Ltd (“Zandfontein”), Blourug Diamante (Pty) Ltd (“Blourug”) and Triangle Mining CC (“Tr

iangle”), collectively the “Contractors”, at Oena. A single centrally located diamond recovery plant is being mobilized with Bourevestnik X-Ray Equipment (“BVX”) that will be used for diamond recovery for the entire mine. The Contractors, at their own cost and expense, provide and maintain all the Plant and Equipment as required to perform the Mining Services. The diamonds produced by the Contractors will be sold via a designated Tender Facility in South Africa and 80% of the gross income of net diamond sales, less commission and eligible expenses, will be paid to the Contractors for the duration of the six-year Agreement. For any individual stones recovered with a gross selling price, less commission, of greater that ZAR 10,000,000, the Contractors will be paid 70% of the gross income. Mining operations commenced in November 2023. On May 15, 2024, the Company terminated the Agreements with Zandfontein and Blourug. On December 5, 2024, the Company terminated the Agreement with Triangle. On January 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Contract Mining and Diamond Recovery Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Rietput Delwery (Pty) Ltd (“Rietput” or the “Contractor”) at Oena. A single centrally located diamond recovery plant is being mobilized with Bourevestnik X-Ray Equipment (“BVX”) that will be used for diamond recovery for the entire mine. The Contractor, at their own cost and expense, will provide and maintain all the Plant and Equipment as required to perform the Mining Services. The diamonds produced by the Contractor will be sold via a designated Tender Facility in South Africa and 80% of the gross income of net diamond sales, less commission and eligible expenses, will be paid to the Contractor for the duration of the three-year Agreement. Equipment mobilization was initiated in February 2025 with mining operations having commenced in April 2025. SOUTHSTONE MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 31 19. COMMITMENTS (continued) On February 24, 2025, the Company received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange in connection with its proposed acquisition of Afrium Energy Pte. Ltd., a private Singapore corporation that holds indirect interests in uranium prospecting licences in the Republic of Botswana. The Company would acquire a 100% interest in Afrium for 20,000,000 common shares of the Company. Afrium shareholders also receive a 2.5% net smelter return royalty on the licenses, with an option for the Company to repurchase each 0.5% of the NSR for $1.5 million to a maximum total aggregate amount of $7.5 million. Final approval of the transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of customary TSX Venture Exchange requirements, including the completion of technical, financial, legal, and regulatory review items. The Company continues to work toward satisfying these conditions and will provide further updates in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements. The Second Addendum, effective September 12, 2025, extends the end date of the acquisition agreement to March 12, 2026.
