Trilogy Metals Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1)    Nature of operations

Trilogy Metals Inc. (“Trilogy” or the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on April 27, 2011. The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties, through our equity investee (see note 3), with a focus on the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (“UKMP”), including the Arctic and Bornite Projects located in Northwest Alaska in the United States of America (“US”). The Company also conducts early-stage exploration through a wholly owned subsidiary, 995 Exploration Inc.  

2)    Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Trilogy and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NovaCopper US Inc. (dba “Trilogy Metals US”) and 995 Exploration Inc. All intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. For variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where Trilogy is not the primary beneficiary, we use the equity method of accounting.

All figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted. References to CDN$ refer to amounts in Canadian dollars.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of August 31, 2024 and our results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2024.

As these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Canadian securities regulatory authorities on February 9, 2024.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Audit Committee on behalf of the Board of Directors for issue on October 7, 2024.

Use of estimates and measurement uncertainties

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions of future events that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenditures during the period. Significant estimates include the measurement of income taxes and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ materially from those reported.

Management assesses the possibility of impairment in the carrying value of its equity method investment in Ambler Metals whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable.  Ambler Metals is a non-publicly traded equity investment owning exploration and development projects. Significant judgments are made in assessing the possibility of impairment. The Company assesses whether there has been a potential triggering event for other-than-temporary impairment by assessing the underlying assets of Ambler Metals for recoverability and assessing whether there has been a change in the development plan or strategy for the projects.  If the Company concludes there is sufficient evidence for an other-than-temporary impairment, an assessment of fair value is performed.  If the underlying assets are not recoverable, the Company will record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the equity investment and its fair value.  This assessment is subjective and requires consideration at each period end.

3)    Investment in Ambler Metals LLC

(a)

Formation of Ambler Metals LLC

On February 11, 2020, the Company completed the formation of a 50/50 joint venture named Ambler Metals LLC (“Ambler Metals”) with South32 Limited (“South32”). As part of the formation of the joint venture, Trilogy contributed all its assets associated with the UKMP, including the Arctic and Bornite Projects, while South32 contributed cash of $145.0 million, resulting in each party’s subsidiaries directly owning a 50% interest in Ambler Metals.

Ambler Metals is a company jointly controlled by Trilogy and South32 through a four-member board, of which two members are appointed by Trilogy based on its 50% equity interest. All significant decisions related to the UKMP require the approval of both companies. We determined that Ambler Metals is a VIE because it is expected to need additional funding from its owners for its significant activities. However, we concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of Ambler Metals as the power to direct its activities, through its board, is shared under the Ambler Metals LLC limited liability company agreement. As we have significant influence over Ambler Metals through our representation on its board, we use the equity method of accounting for our investment in Ambler Metals. Our maximum exposure to loss in this entity is limited to the carrying amount of our investment in Ambler Metals, which, as of August 31, 2024, totaled $108.1 million (2023 - $136.9 million).

(b)

Carrying value of equity method investment

Trilogy recognized, based on its 50% ownership interest in Ambler Metals, an equity loss equivalent to its pro rata share of Ambler Metals’ comprehensive loss of $1.2 million for the three-month period ending August 31, 2024 (2023 - $5.8 million) and $4.0 million for the nine-month period ending August 31, 2024 (2023 - $12.0 million).  During the nine-month period ending August 31, 2024, Trilogy made a $112,000 equity contribution to Ambler Metals through the issuance of 143,507 common shares of the Company as part of the long-term incentive compensation for Ambler Metals executives. Likewise, South32 made an equivalent equity contribution to Ambler Metals for $112,000 in cash for their 50% share. The carrying value of Trilogy’s 50% investment in Ambler Metals as at August 31, 2024 is summarized on the following table.

7)    Financial instruments

The Company is exposed to a variety of risks arising from financial instruments. These risks and management’s objectives, policies and procedures for managing these risks are disclosed as follows.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short-term nature of their maturity. The Company’s financial instruments initially measured at fair value and then held at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Financial risk management

The Company’s activities expose it to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest risk and price risk.

(a)

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk of a fluctuation in financial asset and liability settlement amounts due to a change in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in the United States and Canada. The Company’s exposure to currency risk at August 31, 2024 is limited to the Canadian dollar balances consisting of cash of approximately CDN$11,000, accounts receivable of approximately CDN$11,000 and accounts payable of approximately CDN$34,000. Based on a 10% change in the US-Canadian exchange rate, assuming all other variables remain constant, the Company’s net loss would change by approximately $1,000.

(b)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company holds cash with a Canadian chartered financial institution of which the majority is uninsured as at August 31, 2024. The Company’s only significant exposure to credit risk is equal to the balance of cash as recorded in the financial statements.

(c)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties raising funds to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is in the exploration stage and does not have cash inflows from operations; therefore, the Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage.

(d)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to interest earned on cash. Based on balances as at August 31, 2024 of approximately $25 million, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change of approximately $250,000 over a one year period, assuming all other variables remain constant.

As we are currently in the exploration phase, none of our financial instruments are exposed to commodity price risk; however, our ability to obtain long-term financing and its economic viability could be affected by commodity price volatility.

8) Subsequent events

On September 3, 2024, pursuant to previous elections, the Board of Directors were granted 153,035 DSUs in settlement of approximately $78,250 of director fees and senior management were granted 298,263 RSUs in lieu of cash salaries of approximately $153,000, all vesting immediately. The grants were in support of continued cash preservation efforts.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other applicable securities laws. These forward-looking statements may include statements regarding the Company’s work programs and budgets; perceived merit of properties, exploration results and budgets, the impact of the Bureau of Land Management’s (“BLM”) suspension of permits on the right-of-way with the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (“AIDEA”) relating to the Ambler Road Project, the Company and Ambler Metals’ funding requirements, the Company’s cash preservation strategies, the Company’s future funding of Ambler Metals, mineral reserves and resource estimates, work programs, capital expenditures, operating costs, cash flow estimates, production estimates and similar statements relating to the economic viability of a project, timelines, strategic plans, statements regarding Ambler Metals’ plans and expectations relating to its Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (the “UKMP”, as defined below), sufficiency of the Ambler Metals’ cash to fund the UKMP, impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations, market prices for precious and base metals, statements regarding the Ambler Access Project (also known as the Ambler Mining District Industrial Access Project), or other statements that are not statements of fact. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Statements concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute “forward-looking statements” to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed.

Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as “expects”, “is expected”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “projects”, “estimates”, “assumes”, “intends”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives”, “potential”, “possible” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events, conditions or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, as well as on a number of material assumptions, which could prove to be significantly incorrect, including about:

our ability to achieve production at the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects;
the accuracy of our mineral resource and reserve estimates;
the results, costs and timing of future exploration drilling and engineering;
timing and receipt of approvals, consents and permits under applicable legislation;
the adequacy of our financial resources;

the receipt of third party contractual, regulatory and governmental approvals for the exploration, development, construction and production of our properties and any litigation or challenges to such approvals;
our expected ability to develop adequate infrastructure and that the cost of doing so will be reasonable;
continued good relationships with South32, our joint venture partner, as well as local communities and other stakeholders;
there being no significant disruptions affecting operations, whether relating to labor, supply, power damage to equipment or other matter;
expected trends and specific assumptions regarding metal prices and currency exchange rates; and
prices for and availability of fuel, electricity, parts and equipment and other key supplies remaining consistent with current levels.

We have also assumed that no significant events will occur outside of our normal course of business. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. We believe that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date of this MD&A. However, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and, accordingly, undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:

risks related to inability to define proven and probable reserves;
risks related to our ability to finance the development of our mineral properties through external financing, strategic alliances, the sale of property interests or otherwise;
uncertainty as to whether there will ever be production at the Company’s mineral exploration and development properties;
risks related to our ability to commence production and generate material revenues or obtain adequate financing for our planned exploration and development activities;
risks related to lack of infrastructure including but not limited to the risk whether or not the Ambler Mining District Industrial Access Project, or AMDIAP, will receive the requisite permits and, if it does, whether the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority will build the AMDIAP;
risks related to the suspension by the BLM of the right-of-way permits with AIDEA relating to the AMDIAP to permit the Department of the Interior to carry out additional work on the environmental impact statement, and associated delays relating to such suspension;
risks related to inclement weather which may delay or hinder exploration activities at our mineral properties;
risks related to our dependence on a third party for the development of our projects;
none of the Company’s mineral properties are in production or are under development;

commodity price fluctuations;
uncertainty related to title to our mineral properties;
our history of losses and expectation of future losses;
risks related to increases in demand for equipment, skilled labor and services needed for exploration and development of mineral properties, and related cost increases;
risks related to increases in costs of fuel and other required supplies and concerns relating to supply chain and the ability to obtain needed supplies at a reasonable cost, or at all;
risks related to global economic instability, including global supply chain issues, inflation and fuel and energy costs may affect the Company’s business;
uncertainties relating to the assumptions underlying our resource estimates, such as metal pricing, metallurgy, mineability, marketability and operating and capital costs;
uncertainty related to inferred mineral resources;
mining and development risks, including risks related to infrastructure, accidents, equipment breakdowns, labor disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in development, construction or production;
risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of our mineral deposits;
risks related to governmental regulation and permits, including environmental regulation, including the risk that more stringent requirements or standards may be adopted or applied due to circumstances unrelated to the Company and outside of our control;
the risk that permits and governmental approvals necessary to develop and operate mines at our mineral properties will not be available on a timely basis or at all;
risks related to the need for reclamation activities on our properties and uncertainty of cost estimates related thereto;

our need to attract and retain qualified management and technical personnel;
risks related to conflicts of interests of some of our directors and officers;
risks related to potential future litigation;
risks related to market events and general economic conditions;
risks related to future sales or issuances of equity securities decreasing the value of existing Trilogy common shares, diluting voting power and reducing future earnings per share;
risks related to the voting power of our major shareholders and the impact that a sale by such shareholders may have on our share price;
uncertainty as to the volatility in the price of the Company’s common shares;

the Company’s expectation of not paying cash dividends;
adverse federal income tax consequences for U.S. shareholders should the Company be a passive foreign investment company;
risks related to global climate change;
risks related to adverse publicity from non-governmental organizations;
uncertainty as to our ability to maintain the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting as per the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and
increased regulatory compliance costs, associated with rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Canadian Securities Administrators, the NYSE American Stock Exchange, the Toronto Stock Exchange, and the Financial Accounting Standards Boards, and more specifically, our efforts to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, those referred to in Trilogy’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the SEC on February 9, 2024, and other information released by Trilogy and filed with the appropriate regulatory agencies.

The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and the Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions should change, except as required by law. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Description of business

We are a base metals exploration company focused on the exploration and development of mineral properties, through our equity investee, in the Ambler mining district located in Alaska, U.S.A. We conduct our operations through a wholly owned subsidiary, NovaCopper US Inc. which is doing business as Trilogy Metals US (“Trilogy Metals US”). Our Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (“UKMP” or “UKMP Projects”) were contributed into a 50/50 joint venture named Ambler Metals LLC (“Ambler Metals”) between Trilogy and South32 Limited (“South32”) on February 11, 2020 (see below). The projects contributed to Ambler Metals consist of: i) the Ambler lands which host the Arctic copper-zinc-lead-gold-silver project (the “Arctic Project”); and ii) the Bornite lands being explored under a collaborative long-term agreement with NANA Regional Corporation, Inc. (“NANA”), a regional Alaska Native Corporation, which hosts the Bornite carbonate-hosted copper project (the “Bornite Project”) and related assets. The Company may also conduct early-stage exploration through a wholly owned subsidiary, 995 Exploration Inc.

Corporate and project activities

The Company has a 2024 fiscal year cash budget totaling $2.8 million.  For the nine-month period ended August 31, 2024, we used $1.9 million in operating activities mainly for personnel costs, professional fees, regulatory and office expenses compared with budgeted cash expenditures totaling $2.1 million.  

Ambler Metals LLC

The board of Ambler Metals approved a 2024 fiscal year budget totaling $5.5 million to support external and community affairs, to maintain the State of Alaska mineral claims in good standing, and for the maintenance of physical assets.  During the nine-month period ended August 31, 2024, Ambler Metals expended $3.5 million on salaries and wages, professional fees, engineering, project support costs and mineral property expenses, excluding the Ambler Access Project (the “AAP”) costs, compared with the budget of $4.5 million.

The board of Ambler Metals also approved a 2024 fiscal year budget totaling $2.5 million to support the AAP.  During the nine-month period ended August 31, 2024, Ambler Metals funded $1.4 million to the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (“AIDEA”) in support of the AAP compared with the budget of $1.9 million.

During the third quarter of 2024, we received additional cash from Ambler Metals.  In total, Ambler Metals returned $50 million to Trilogy and South32 as at August 31, 2024.

Ambler Mining District Industrial Access Project (“AMDIAP” or “Ambler Access Project”)  

On April 22, 2024, the Company announced that the United States Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) had filed the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (“SEIS”) for the AAP on its website.  The Final SEIS identifies “No Action” as the BLM’s preferred alternative.  The proponent for the AAP is AIDEA which is a public corporation of the State of Alaska.  AIDEA’s purpose is to promote, develop, and advance general prosperity and economic welfare of the people of Alaska.  AIDEA strongly objected to both the process used by the BLM to reach a “No Build” decision and the effect of the decision which AIDEA believes illegally blocks access to statehood lands, minerals, and federally patented mining claims.  On May 8, 2024, NANA announced its withdrawal from further involvement with the AAP and stated its intentions to not renew the surface access permit with AIDEA upon the permit’s expiry this year.

On June 28, 2024, the BLM issued the Record of Decision confirming their selection of the No Action alternative and thus denied AIDEA’s application for a right-of-way grant (“ROW Grant”) across BLM-managed lands which terminated the BLM ROW Grant issued to AIDEA on January 5, 2021.

For the three-month period ended August 31, 2024, we reported a net loss of $1.6 million compared to a net loss of $4.1 million for the three-month period ended August 31, 2023. The decrease in comprehensive loss in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter in 2023 is primarily due to the decrease in our share of loss of Ambler Metals.  The decrease of our share of losses of Ambler Metals is mainly due to the decrease in corporate wages and in mineral property expenses partially offset from the increase in professional fees.  The primary drivers in decrease in mineral property expenses over the comparative quarter in the prior year were from a reduction in activities both at the project level and at the AAP.

For the nine-month period ended August 31, 2024, we reported a net loss of $7.0 million compared to a net loss of $11.9 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2023. The decrease for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily due to the decrease in our share of losses of Ambler Metals, professional fees and stock-based compensation and salaries. The decrease of our share of losses of Ambler Metals is mainly due to the decrease in corporate wages due to a reduction in staffing and a reduction in mineral property expenses due to a reduction in project activities which was partially offset by the increase in professional fees related to part-time contractors engaged to assist with management of Ambler Metals, along with consultants engaged in government and external affairs.

Liquidity and capital resources

We expended $1.9 million on operating activities during the nine-month period ending August 31, 2024 with the majority of cash spent on professional fees and American and Canadian securities commission fees related to our annual regulatory filings, annual fees paid to the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE American Exchange and corporate salaries.  

As at August 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $25.7 million. During the nine months ended August 31, 2024, Trilogy received a total of $25.0 million from Ambler Metals as a return of excess cash to the owners.  Although the Company has a strong cash position, management continues with cash preservation strategies to reduce cash expenditures where feasible, including but not limited to reductions in marketing and investor conferences and office expenses. In addition, the Company’s board of directors continue to take all of their fees in deferred share units in an effort to preserve cash.  The Company’s senior management team is also continuing to take a portion of their base salaries and all of their short and long term compensation in shares of the Company to preserve cash.

All project related costs are funded by Ambler Metals. Ambler Metals had $9.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $8.7 million in working capital as at August 31, 2024. There are sufficient funds at Ambler Metals to fund this fiscal year’s budget for the UKMP and the AAP.

Upon the exercise of all the foregoing convertible securities, the Company would be required to issue an aggregate of 20,268,651 common shares.

New accounting pronouncements

There are no new accounting pronouncements affecting the Company.

Critical accounting estimates

The most critical accounting estimates upon which our financial status depends are those requiring estimates of the recoverability of our equity method investment in Ambler Metals, income taxes and valuation of stock‐based compensation.

Impairment of Investment in Ambler Metals LLC

Management assesses the possibility of impairment in the carrying value of its equity method investment in Ambler Metals whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. Ambler Metals is a non-publicly traded equity investment owning exploration and development projects.  Significant judgments are made in assessing the possibility of impairment. The Company assesses whether there has been a potential triggering event for other-than-temporary impairment by assessing the underlying assets of Ambler Metals for recoverability and assessing whether there has been a change in the development plan or strategy for the projects.  If the Company concludes there is sufficient evidence for an other-than-temporary impairment, an assessment of fair value is performed.  If the underlying assets are not recoverable, the Company will record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the equity investment and its fair value.  This assessment is subjective and require consideration at each period end.

Income taxes

We must make estimates and judgments in determining the provision for income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties. We are subject to income tax law in the United States and Canada. The evaluation of tax liabilities involving uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulation is based on factors such as changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, new audit activity, and effectively settled issues. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position requires significant judgment, and a change in such recognition would result in an additional charge to the income tax expense and liability.

Trilogy Metals Inc.
For the Quarter Ended August 31, 2024

Stock-based compensation

Compensation expense for options granted to employees, directors and certain service providers is determined based on estimated fair values of the options at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which takes into account, as of the grant date, the fair market value of the shares, expected volatility, expected life, expected forfeiture rate, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires input estimation of the expected life of the option, volatility, and forfeiture rate which can have a significant impact on the valuation model, and resulting expense recorded.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under U.S. and Canadian securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules, including providing reasonable assurance that material information is gathered and reported to senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to permit timely decisions regarding public disclosure. Management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules of Canadian Securities Administration, as of August 31, 2024.

Internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act and National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim filings. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2024 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis to identify improvements.

Nature of operations

1)    Nature of operations

Trilogy Metals Inc. (“Trilogy” or the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on April 27, 2011. The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties, through our equity investee (see note 3), with a focus on the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (“UKMP”), including the Arctic and Bornite Projects located in Northwest Alaska in the United States of America (“US”). The Company also conducts early-stage exploration through a wholly owned subsidiary, 995 Exploration Inc.

Summary of significant accounting policies

2)    Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Trilogy and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NovaCopper US Inc. (dba “Trilogy Metals US”) and 995 Exploration Inc. All intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. For variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where Trilogy is not the primary beneficiary, we use the equity method of accounting.

All figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted. References to CDN$ refer to amounts in Canadian dollars.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of August 31, 2024 and our results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2024.

As these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Canadian securities regulatory authorities on February 9, 2024.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Audit Committee on behalf of the Board of Directors for issue on October 7, 2024.

Use of estimates and measurement uncertainties

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions of future events that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenditures during the period. Significant estimates include the measurement of income taxes and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ materially from those reported.

Management assesses the possibility of impairment in the carrying value of its equity method investment in Ambler Metals whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable.  Ambler Metals is a non-publicly traded equity investment owning exploration and development projects. Significant judgments are made in assessing the possibility of impairment. The Company assesses whether there has been a potential triggering event for other-than-temporary impairment by assessing the underlying assets of Ambler Metals for recoverability and assessing whether there has been a change in the development plan or strategy for the projects.  If the Company concludes there is sufficient evidence for an other-than-temporary impairment, an assessment of fair value is performed.  If the underlying assets are not recoverable, the Company will record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the equity investment and its fair value.  This assessment is subjective and requires consideration at each period end.

3)    Investment in Ambler Metals LLC

(a)

Formation of Ambler Metals LLC

On February 11, 2020, the Company completed the formation of a 50/50 joint venture named Ambler Metals LLC (“Ambler Metals”) with South32 Limited (“South32”). As part of the formation of the joint venture, Trilogy contributed all its assets associated with the UKMP, including the Arctic and Bornite Projects, while South32 contributed cash of $145.0 million, resulting in each party’s subsidiaries directly owning a 50% interest in Ambler Metals.

Ambler Metals is a company jointly controlled by Trilogy and South32 through a four-member board, of which two members are appointed by Trilogy based on its 50% equity interest. All significant decisions related to the UKMP require the approval of both companies. We determined that Ambler Metals is a VIE because it is expected to need additional funding from its owners for its significant activities. However, we concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of Ambler Metals as the power to direct its activities, through its board, is shared under the Ambler Metals LLC limited liability company agreement. As we have significant influence over Ambler Metals through our representation on its board, we use the equity method of accounting for our investment in Ambler Metals. Our maximum exposure to loss in this entity is limited to the carrying amount of our investment in Ambler Metals, which, as of August 31, 2024, totaled $108.1 million (2023 - $136.9 million).

(b)

Carrying value of equity method investment

Trilogy recognized, based on its 50% ownership interest in Ambler Metals, an equity loss equivalent to its pro rata share of Ambler Metals’ comprehensive loss of $1.2 million for the three-month period ending August 31, 2024 (2023 - $5.8 million) and $4.0 million for the nine-month period ending August 31, 2024 (2023 - $12.0 million).  During the nine-month period ending August 31, 2024, Trilogy made a $112,000 equity contribution to Ambler Metals through the issuance of 143,507 common shares of the Company as part of the long-term incentive compensation for Ambler Metals executives. Likewise, South32 made an equivalent equity contribution to Ambler Metals for $112,000 in cash for their 50% share. The carrying value of Trilogy’s 50% investment in Ambler Metals as at August 31, 2024 is summarized on the following table.

Variable lease costs consist primarily of the Company’s portion of operating costs associated with the office space lease as the Company elected to apply the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components.

As at August 31, 2024, the weighted-average remaining lease term is 3.8 years and the weighted-average discount rate is 9%. Significant judgment was used in the determination of the incremental borrowing rate which included estimating the Company’s credit rating.

Supplemental cash and non-cash information relating to our leases during the nine-month period ending August 31, 2024 are as follows:

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $45,561, of which $33,159 related to the office lease that expired on June 30, 2024 and $12,402 related to the new office lease that commenced on July 1, 2024.

Stock options

During the three-month period ended February 29, 2024, the Company granted 2,775,000 stock options (2023 - 3,230,000 stock options) at an exercise price of CDN$0.59 (2023 - CDN$0.78) to employees, consultants and directors exercisable for a period of five years with various vesting terms from immediate vesting to vesting over a two-year period. The fair value attributable to each of these option grants was CDN$0.27 (2023 - CDN$0.37).  No grants were made during the three-month periods ended May 31, 2024 or August 31, 2024.

For the three-month period ended August 31, 2024, Trilogy recognized a stock-based compensation charge of $0.1 million (2023 - $0.1 million) for options granted to directors, employees and service providers, net of estimated forfeitures. For the nine-month period ended August 31, 2024, Trilogy recognized a stock-based compensation charge of $0.5 million (2023 - $0.8 million) for options granted to directors, employees and service providers, net of estimated forfeitures.

The fair value of the stock options recognized in the period has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Assumptions used in the pricing model for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2024 are as provided below.

Financial instruments

7)    Financial instruments

The Company is exposed to a variety of risks arising from financial instruments. These risks and management’s objectives, policies and procedures for managing these risks are disclosed as follows.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short-term nature of their maturity. The Company’s financial instruments initially measured at fair value and then held at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Financial risk management

The Company’s activities expose it to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest risk and price risk.

(a)

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk of a fluctuation in financial asset and liability settlement amounts due to a change in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in the United States and Canada. The Company’s exposure to currency risk at August 31, 2024 is limited to the Canadian dollar balances consisting of cash of approximately CDN$11,000, accounts receivable of approximately CDN$11,000 and accounts payable of approximately CDN$34,000. Based on a 10% change in the US-Canadian exchange rate, assuming all other variables remain constant, the Company’s net loss would change by approximately $1,000.

(b)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company holds cash with a Canadian chartered financial institution of which the majority is uninsured as at August 31, 2024. The Company’s only significant exposure to credit risk is equal to the balance of cash as recorded in the financial statements.

(c)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties raising funds to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is in the exploration stage and does not have cash inflows from operations; therefore, the Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage.

Contractually obligated undiscounted cash flow requirements as at August 31, 2024 are as follows:

Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximately $153,000 is for accrued salaries that were settled, subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on September 3, 2024, by the way of a grant of RSUs which was paid out through the issuance of common shares of the Company (note 8).

(d)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to interest earned on cash. Based on balances as at August 31, 2024 of approximately $25 million, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change of approximately $250,000 over a one year period, assuming all other variables remain constant.

As we are currently in the exploration phase, none of our financial instruments are exposed to commodity price risk; however, our ability to obtain long-term financing and its economic viability could be affected by commodity price volatility.

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Trilogy and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NovaCopper US Inc. (dba “Trilogy Metals US”) and 995 Exploration Inc. All intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. For variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where Trilogy is not the primary beneficiary, we use the equity method of accounting.

All figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted. References to CDN$ refer to amounts in Canadian dollars.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of August 31, 2024 and our results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2024.

As these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Canadian securities regulatory authorities on February 9, 2024.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Audit Committee on behalf of the Board of Directors for issue on October 7, 2024.

Use of estimates and measurement uncertainties

Use of estimates and measurement uncertainties

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions of future events that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenditures during the period. Significant estimates include the measurement of income taxes and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ materially from those reported.

Management assesses the possibility of impairment in the carrying value of its equity method investment in Ambler Metals whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable.  Ambler Metals is a non-publicly traded equity investment owning exploration and development projects. Significant judgments are made in assessing the possibility of impairment. The Company assesses whether there has been a potential triggering event for other-than-temporary impairment by assessing the underlying assets of Ambler Metals for recoverability and assessing whether there has been a change in the development plan or strategy for the projects.  If the Company concludes there is sufficient evidence for an other-than-temporary impairment, an assessment of fair value is performed.  If the underlying assets are not recoverable, the Company will record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the equity investment and its fair value.  This assessment is subjective and requires consideration at each period end.
