NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated on July 13, 2012, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company's principal business activities are the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol "PEMC". The Company's head office address is at Suite 804, 525 Seymour Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6B 3H7, Canada and its registered and records office is located at Suite 1700, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 2E9, Canada. These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets, discharge its liabilities and continue in operation for the following twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from the carrying values shown and these 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. The Company's continuing operations and the ability of the Company to meet mineral property and other commitments are dependent upon the ability of the Company to continue to raise additional equity or debt financing and to find joint venture partners. At the date of these financial statements, the Company has not identified whether any of its properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. At December 31,2025, the Company has not achieved profitable operations and has accumulated losses since inception. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $528,815, accumulated deficit of $9,659,956 and cash of $402,504. With its current plans for the year and the budgets associated with those plans, in order to continue funding its administrative and exploration expenditures from the date of these financial statements, the Company will need to obtain additional cash and anticipates either financing or selling one or more of its assets. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION Statement of Compliance These condensed int --- erim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. Basis of Measurement and Presentation These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for assets measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. These condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars ("CAD"), which is also the Company's functional currency. These condensed interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's most recent annual financial statements, except as described below, and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2025. Critical Accounting Judgments and Significant Estimates and Uncertainties The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, are consistent with those applied in the Company's March 31, 2025 audited financial statements.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued) New Accounting Pronouncements Certain pronouncements have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board or the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2025. The Company has reviewed these updates and the amendment that is applicable to the Company is discussed below: IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statement aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss, in particular additional defined subtotals, disclosures about management-defined performance measures and new principles for aggregation of information. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. IFRS 18 is effective from January 1, 2027. Companies are permitted to apply IFRS 18 before that date. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard. 3.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025 In August 2025, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $300,000 and issued 15,000,000 units at a price of $0.02 per unit.

The weighted average fair value of the finder’s warrants issued as part of the private placement was estimated as of the date of the issuance using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 2.67%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 204% and an expected life of two years. In October 2025, the Company completed a private placement raising an aggregate of $1,526,992, of which $804,992 was raised on the issuance of 22,999,770 units at a price per unit of $0.035 and $692,000 was raised on the issuance of 18,050,000 flow- through units at a price of $0.04 per unit. The private placement closed in two tranches. Each unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each flow-through unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.05 per Share for a period of 24 months from the date of closing. Pursuant to the application of the residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued in private placements, and the determination of any flow-through share premium on the issuance of flow-through shares, there was no residual value allocated to the warrant component, and a flow-through premium liability of $90,250 was recognized related to the difference between the subscription price of a flow-through share compared to the u --- nits issued concurrently. Funds raised from the issuance of flow-through shares require the Company to spend the funds from these placements on qualified exploration expenditures and renounce the expenditures and income tax benefits to the flow-through shareholders, resulting in no exploration deductions for tax purposes to the Company. As at December 31, 2025, the Company fulfilled its spending requirements and the full flow-through premium liability has been extinguished. In consideration for arranging the private placement, the Company paid $56,752 in cash commissions and issued 1,539,984 finder’s warrants valued at $43,100 in two tranches. Each of 1,329,830 finder’s warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share until October 6, 2027. The weighted average fair value of the finder’s warrants issued as part of the private placement was estimated as of the date of the issuance using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 2.47%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 192% and an expected life of two years. Each of 210,154 finder’s warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share until October 14, 2027. The weighted average fair value of the finder’s warrants issued as part of the private placement was estimated as of the date of the issuance using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk- free interest rate of 2.44%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 193% and an expected life of two years. The Company issued 4,725,000 common shares valued at $314,250 pursuant to the exercise of warrants. The Company issued 500,000 common shares valued at $46,038 pursuant to the exercise of options, and reallocated $21,038 from contributed surplus to share capital. PACIFIC EMPIRE MINERALS CORP.

EQUITY (Continued) During the year ended March 31, 2025: The Company completed a private placement raising an aggregate of $722,500, by issuing 14,450,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.08 per common share for a period of 36 months from the closing date of the offering. In consideration of the private placement, an aggregate total of $26,075 in cash finder’s fees were paid and 521,500 finder’s warrants valued at $26,561 were issued to qualified parties. The finder’s warrants are subject to the same terms as the warrants issued as part of the units. The weighted average fair value of the finder’s warrants issued as part of the private placement was estimated as of the date of the issuance using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.03%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 213% and an expected life of 3 years. The Company paid an additional $22,634 in legal and filing fees included in share issue costs. Pursuant to the application of the residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The Company determined the fair value of the share component to be the more easily measu --- rable component and determined there was no residual fair value to allocate to the warrant component. Stock Option Plan As at December 31, 2025, the Company had a stock option plan that allows the Board of Directors to grant incentive stock options to the Company’s officers, directors, related company employees and consultants to purchase up to that number of common shares equal to 10% of its outstanding shares for a term of up to ten years. The exercise price of each option is to be not less than the fair market value of the Company’s stock as determined by the Plan administrator. The vesting terms are determined at the time of the option grant. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and the year ended March 31, 2025, the change in stock options outstanding is as follows: Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Balance, March 31, 2024 5,000,000 $ 0.05 Issued 1,000,000 0.06 Balance, March 31, 2025 6,000,000 0.05 Issued 7,700,000 0.05 Exercised (500,000) 0.05 Balance, December 31, 2025 13,200,000 $ 0.05 The following table summarizes the stock options outstanding and exercisable as at December 31, 2025: * 715,000 options were exercised subsequently. ** 1,000,000 options were exercised subsequently. *** 1,500,000 options were exercised subsequently.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment, being the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. As such, all of the Company's property and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets are located in Canada. PACIFIC EMPIRE MINERALS CORP. (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) For the Period Ended December 31, 2025 - 15 - 14. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT Financial Risk Management The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which include currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and market risk. Currency Risk The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. Although the Company operates only in Canada and all expenditures are incurred in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars are sometimes held by the Company. As at December 31, 2025, the Company did not hold a significant balance of U.S. dollars. Therefore, a change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would have an immaterial effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. Credit Risk Credit risk arises from cash as well as credit exposures to counterparties of outstanding receivables and committed transactions. There is no concentration of credit risk other than on cash, deposits and receivables. The Company's cash deposits are primarily held with a Canadian chartered bank. Further, receivables comprise amounts due from the federal government. Therefore, credit risk is considered low. Liquidity Risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to pay obligations as they fall due. Financial liabilities, at December 31, 2025, included $80,259 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $205,163 in amounts due to related parties and $24,108 of current lease liabilities. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant. Interest Rate Risk When the Company has sufficient cash, it will invest in term deposits which can be reinvested without penalty after thirty days should interest rates rise. As at December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any interest-bearing loans. Accordingly, the Company does not have a significant interest rate risk. Market Risk The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating values of its publicly traded marketable securities. The markets in which the Company holds equity investments are subject to volatility and price changes. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments. Based on the December 31, 2025 value of marketable securities a 10% increase or decrease in the share prices of these companies would have an im --- material impact on loss and comprehensive loss. Management of Capital The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its mineral properties. The Company relies mainly on equity issuances to raise new capital and on entering into joint venture agreements on certain properties which enables it to conserve capital and to reduce risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders' equity. The Company also has receivables including mineral exploration tax credits, GST, and reclamation deposits to be received. The Company prepares annual estimates of exploration and administrative expenditures and monitors actual expenditures compared to the estimates. The Company's investment policy is to invest its cash in savings accounts or highly liquid short-term deposits with terms of one year or less and which can be liquidated after thirty days without interest penalty. There have been no changes in the approach to managing capital during the nine months ended December 31, 2025. Management believes that it will still need to seek additional capital to continue its exploration programs and general and administrative costs. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. PACIFIC EMPIRE MINERALS CORP.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS BY CATEGORY The Company classified its financial instruments as follows: December 31, 2025 March 31, 2025 Financial assets Amortized cost: Cash $ 402,504 $ 188,347 Restricted cash 17,500 17,500 Reclamation deposits 84,742 62,942 Fair value through profit or loss: Marketable securities 44,249 46,074 $ 548,995 $ 314,863 Financial liabilities Amortized cost: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 80,259 $ 79,287 Due to related parties 205,163 257,750 $ 285,422 $ 337,037 Fair Values The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: • Level 1: inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors, which can be observed or corroborated in the marketplace. • Level 3: inputs that are less observable, unavoidable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the instruments' fair value. As at December 31, 2025, there were no changes in the levels in comparison to the year ended March 31, 2025. Financial instruments which are measured using the fair value hierarchy include marketable securities, which are categorized as Level 1. The carrying values of cash, restricted cash, receivables, reclamation deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company: i --- ) issued 5,600,000 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants. ii) issued 3,215,000 common shares pursuant to the exercise of options. iii) granted 1,000,000 stock options exercisable at $0.08 and expiring on February 17, 2031.
