MAGELLAN COPPER & GOLD CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Nature of Operations
Organization and Nature of Operations
Magellan Copper & Gold Corp. (“we” “our”, “us”, the “Company” or “Magellan”) was incorporated on September 28, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mining rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
Our primary focus is to explore and develop mineral properties in the United States. Effective March 31, 2020, we divested our subsidiary holding all our international assets and at that time planned to advance our Ophir Creek Placer Gold Mine Project located near Ophir Alaska. Since that time we have acquired other mineral project assets and presently our plans include exploring one or two of the existing projects of the Company (Ophir Creek Placer and Center Star) or acquiring additional mineral projects for development which are close to revenue. Our mineral lease payments, mineral claim annual holding costs, permit preparation and exploration and development efforts will require substantial additional capital. We have in the past relied upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management and significant shareholders to fund our operations since we do not generate any significant revenue.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiaries, Clearwater and M Gold. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
We compute basic net loss per common share by dividing our net loss attributable to common shareholders by our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Computation of diluted net loss per common share adds the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding to the weighted-average common shares outstanding, as calculated for basic net loss per share, except for instances in which there is a net loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, stock options and shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, stock options, warrants, and shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects.
| 7 |
Segments Reporting
The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purpose of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its executive management committee. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of the Company using information about combined net income from operations. All significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis of the Company as operating segment, which is the same as its reporting segment.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815. The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-12 to determine the order in which each convertible instrument would be evaluated for derivative classification. The Company’s sequencing policy is to evaluate for reclassification contracts with the earliest maturity date first.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Liquidity and Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next
fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements
and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to
continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2026, we had a working capital deficit of $
We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure that any future financing will occur.

Note 3 – Mineral Rights and Properties
Ophir Creek Placer Gold Mine
On January 12, 2026, the Company entered into a letter of intent and option
purchase agreement (“LOI”) to acquire the Ophir Creek Placer Gold Mine from Village Gold, Inc. (“Seller”) Pursuant
to the LOI, the Company will acquire nine State of Alaska and Federal mining claims known as Ophir Creek mining claims located near Ophir
Alaska and all heavy equipment and mining equipment present on the project including equipment and fuel storage.
Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:
Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Inputs reflecting management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party line of credit and notes payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s estimated level within the fair value hierarchy of those assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Fair value at March 31, 2026 | |||||||||||||
| Liabilities: | ||||||||||||||||

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Copper & Gold Corp.
The following discussion and analysis provide information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. This information should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and our interim unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included with this report in Part I, Item 1.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the information presented in this Form 10-Q constitutes “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that include terms such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan,” or the like, as well as all statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.
Overview
We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mineral rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
We have only had limited operations to date, and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant investors to fund our operations, as we have not generated any revenue.
Our current focus is to advance the Ophir Creek Placer Gold Mine towards resource definition and eventual development. Secondarily, we may acquire additional mineral projects which could add earlier revenue to the Company. The Company is currently severely restrained by access to capital and any plans with respect to its existing or future projects are subject to availability of capital on reasonable terms. In the past, and for the foreseeable future, we will continue to rely upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management, and also from significant shareholders, to fund our operations as we do not generate consistent revenue. Prospective investors should note that there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company to carry out its stated work plans.

Operating expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our total operating expenses included general and administrative expenses of $113,041 as compared to $53,036 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $55,005 change was mainly related to an increase in professional fees.
Other income (expense)
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, total other expense was $55,912 as compared to $126,104 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $70,192 change was mainly related to change in derivative liability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2026, we had not yet generated sufficient revenues or achieved profitable operations, and we have accumulated losses of $22,364,566. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due, of which there can be no assurance.
We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure that any future debt or equity financing will occur.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto. We consider critical accounting policies to be those that require more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements, including the following: long lived assets; intangible assets valuations; and income tax valuations. Management relies on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable in making its judgment and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Management believes its application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Michael Lavigne, our Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to lack of segregation of duties, a limited corporate governance structure, and lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review as discussed in Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, there is an insufficient volume of transactions at this point in time to justify additional full time staff. We believe that this is typical in many exploration stage companies. We may not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until we commence mining operations, at which time we would expect to hire more staff. We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
