Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the six month period ended December 31, 2025 (expressed in Canadian dollars) (1) 1 Nature of operations Axo Copper Corp. (the “Company”, “Axo” or “Axo Copper”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on April 15, 2021. The Company’s common shares began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) on June 4, 2025 under the trading symbol AXO. The Company’s registered office is located at 2446 Purcells Cove Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Company has one reportable and one geographic segment. The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in locating and acquiring high qu

ality projects and exploring for copper and other base metals. To date, the Company has not generated any revenue and is considered to be in the exploration stage. The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its resource properties in Mexico. The recoverability of amounts spent for the acquisition, exploration and development of the resource properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The operations of the Company will require various licenses and permits from governmental authorities, which are or may be granted subject to various conditions and may be subject to renewal from time to time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with such conditions and obtain or retain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at its projects. Failure to comply with these conditions may render the licenses liable to forfeiture. 2 Basis of presentation Statement of compliance These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”), as applicable to interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). Accordingly, certain information normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards have been omitted or condensed. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements have been set out in note 2 of the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025. The Board of Directors approved the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue on February 27, 2026. Axo Copper Corp.

Refer to note 3 – Material accounting policies and note 4– Changes in accounting policies and disclosures and future accounting policy changes, of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025, for information on accounting policies and new accounting standards not yet effective. 4 Capital management The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. Axo Copper Corp.

orded as share issue costs. The estimated fair value of the IPO Warrants issued pursuant to the IPO Offering was estimated to be $891,000, or approximately $0.085 per IPO Warrant, calculated using the residual value method; accordingly, $891,000 of the gross proceeds of the IPO Offering have been allocated to the IPO Warrants. Immediately following the completion of the IPO Offering, 107,385,933 common shares (representing 82.4% of the issued and outstanding shares on that date) were held in escrow pursuant to securities and listing regulations and are scheduled for release over a 36 month period following the Company’s TSX-V listing on June 4, 2025. At December 31, 2025, 57,639,682 common shares (representing 44.0% of the issued and outstanding shares) remained in escrow. These common shares rank equally with other common shares but are subject to resale restrictions until released from escrow. During the year ended June 30, 2025, 1,000,000 common shares (2024 – 1,000,000 common shares) were issued pursuant to the Rights Option Agreement and recorded as a resource property cost at a value of $0.40 per common share (2024 - $040 per common share).

These common shares have been treated as treasury shares and deducted from common shares outstanding as at December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025. Stock options The Company has a common share purchase option plan (the “Plan”) for directors, officers, employees and consultants. The total number of options issued and outstanding at any time cannot exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company unless shareholder and regulatory approvals are obtained. Options granted under the Plan have a ten-year term. Options are granted at a price no lower than the market price of the common shares less any discounts allowed by the Exchange at the time of the grant. In determining the stock-based compensation expense, the fair value of options issued is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on actual volatility of similar companies. Axo Copper Corp.

The election, if it is made, must be for a minimum of 10%, or a multiple thereof, of such compensation in DSUs. The number of DSUs received is equal to the amount of compensation elected to be received in DSUs, divided by the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the 5 trading days immediately prior to the payment date. DSUs awarded under the DSU Plan in lieu of annual or bonus compensation will vest immediately. In addition, the Board of Directors has the authority to make discretionary awards of DSU’s to Participants under the DSU Plan. DSUs granted pursuant to discretionary awards will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule determined by the Board of Directors. Generally, DSUs will vest equally over three years, with one- third of the awarded DSUs vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the award. All unvested DSUs will vest immediately in the case of a change of control of the Company. In addition, in the event of the death or termination without cause of a Participant that received DSUs, the Participant’s DSUs will vest immediately. The Board of Directors may at any time shorten the vesting period of any or all DSUs. At December 31, 2025, 11,529,523 DSUs remained available for future grants under the Plan. Each DSU held by a Participant must be redeemed by the Company within 10 years of the grant for DSU Plan shares issued from treasury. Each vested DSU held by a Participant who ceases to be an eligible employee, director or officer shall be redeemed by the Company effective as at the separation date for DSU Plan shares issued from treasury.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the six month period ended December 31, 2025 (expressed in Canadian dollars) (10) 8 Shareholders’ equity (continued) The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model: 2024 Risk-free interest rate 3.95% Expected volatility 112% Expected dividend yield - Expected life 3.5 years The IPO Warrants and Compensation Warrants expire on June 4, 2027. 9 Supplemental cash flow information As at December 31, 2025, the Company’s accounts payable included expenditures on resource properties of $300,000 (June 30, 2025 – $469,000) and share issue costs of $nil (June 30, 2025 – $680,460). 10 Financial instruments and other Credit risk The Company manages credit risk by holding its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions in Canada, where management believes the risk of loss to be low. The Company also has approximately $2,350,000 of Mexican VAT receivable as at December 31, 2025 (June 30, 2025 – $1,690,000). The Company has recorded the VAT to resource properties. The Company is pursuing collection, but given anticipated delays in processing and collection, management has determined that it is appropriate to reclassify this amount to the resource property to which the VAT paid is related.
