1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Lion Copper and Gold Corp. ("LCG"), together with its subsidiaries, collectively, the "Company", is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of copper properties in the United States. The Company is currently advancing its flagship Yerington Copper Project in Nevada toward a Feasibility Study (the "FS"), pursuant to an earn-in agreement with Nuton LLC ("Nuton"), a Rio Tinto venture.

LCG was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada on May 11, 1993. Its common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol "LEO" and are quoted for trading on the OTCQB Market under the symbol "LCGMF".

The Company acquires mineral properties through option agreements and claim staking. The carrying value of its mineral properties represents the acquisition costs and does not reflect present or future values. The recoverability of these assets is dependent on the discovery of mineral reserves, the Company's ability to secure sufficient financing for corporate and other obligations, and the successful development or disposition of the properties.

The Company's development activities on the Yerington Copper Project are substantially funded under an earn-in agreement with Nuton rather than direct Company funding.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and realize its assets and discharges its liabilities in the normal course of business.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $122,219 (December 31, 2025 - $115,826), and working capital of $698 (December 31, 2025 - working capital deficiency of $3,157).

The Company has not generated revenue and will require additional financing to fund general corporate and administrative activities and repay its outstanding convertible debt obligations when due. Although the Company has historically been successful in raising capital, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Interim Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Statement of compliance and consolidation

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and are presented in United States dollars ("$" or "USD"), unless otherwise indicated.

The Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of LCG and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Quaterra Alaska Inc. ("QTA") which holds a 100% interest in Singatse Peak Services LLC ("SPS") and MRE LLC, , as well as its partially owned consolidated entity, Blue Copper Royalties LLC ("BCR"). Falcon Copper Corp. ("FCC") was deconsolidated effective December 31, 2025 (Note 3).

Lion Copper and Gold Corp.Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025(Unaudited - In thousands of U.S. Dollars except for shares and per share amounts)

The Company consolidates entities over which it has control. Control exists when the Company has power over the relevant activities, exposure to variable returns, and the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The Company reassesses control when events or circumstances indicate a change in its ability to direct the activities of a subsidiary. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively, with assets and liabilities initially recorded at fair value. A gain or loss may be recognized upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, depending on the carrying amounts of deconsolidated assets and liabilities compared to the fair value of retained interests and ongoing contractual arrangements.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those disclosed in Note 3 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In preparing these Interim Financial Statements, management has applied the same judgements, estimates and assumptions as those applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

3. INVESTMENTS

a) Falcon Copper Corp. ("FCC")

Falcon Copper Corp., formerly Blue Copper Resources Corp, is a privately held company incorporated in Wyoming, United States. Prior to December 31, 2025, the Company consolidated FCC due to a majority representation on FCC's board of directors.

On December 31, 2025, FCC restructured its board such that the Company no longer had a controlling financial interest. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated FCC in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation.

Upon deconsolidation, the Company derecognized the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of FCC and recognized its retained investment in FCC at fair value of $17,829, based on FCC's share price of $0.31.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held 57,513,764 common shares of FCC, representing 33.69% of FCC's issued and outstanding shares. The investment is accounted for using the equity method with the continuity listed below:

Lion Copper and Gold Corp.Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025(Unaudited - In thousands of U.S. Dollars except for shares and per share amounts)

The Company's share of FCC's net loss was based on FCC's unaudited net loss of $11,148 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Based on its 33.69% ownership interest, the Company recognized its proportionate share of the loss in the interim financial statements.

Summarized financial information of FCC is presented below:

b) FCC Warrants

As of December 31, 2025, the Company held 6,564,180 FCC share purchase warrants classified as financial assets with a fair value of $719. The warrants are revalued at each period end, with changes in fair value recognized in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Each warrant entitles the Company to acquire one common share of FCC for a period of five years. The price is variable and determined based on the lower of a valuation cap or discounts to future financing or market prices.

As at March 31, 2026, the fair value of the warrants was $975, which was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation method.

The following table summarizes the continuity of the FCC warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2026:

a) Nuton Agreement

On March 18, 2022, the Company entered into an option earn-in agreement with Nuton LLC ("Nuton"), a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, as subsequently amended (the "Nuton Agreement"). Under the Nuton Agreement, Nuton was granted an exclusive option to acquire an initial 65% interest in the Company's Yerington, MacArthur, Wassuk, Bear projects, together with the associated water rights (collectively, the "Mining Assets") through the completion of staged work programs and funding commitments totaling up to $59,000.

Following the completion of Stage 1 and Stage 2, Nuton elected to advance to Stage 3 in November 2025, and the parties entered into a Stage 3 Earn-In Agreement dated December 19, 2025. In January 2026, Nuton contributed $30,500 to fund feasibility study and project permitting activities. As of March 31, 2026, cumulative funding received under the Nuton Agreement totaled $58,500.

Upon completion of the feasibility study, Nuton and the Company will determine whether to establish a separate investment vehicle to hold the Mining Assets, with Nuton retaining a minimum 65% ownership interest.

Funds received under the Nuton Agreement do not represent revenue to the Company. Accordingly, such amounts are recorded as a deposit liability until eligible project expenditures are incurred in accordance with the staged work programs. As expenditure is incurred, the deposit liability is reduced, with corresponding amounts recognized as associated expenses or capitalized to mineral properties, consistent with the Company's accounting policies.

The continuity of the Company's Nuton LLC deposit is as follows:

b) MacArthur and Yerington Properties, Nevada

Located in the historic copper district of Yerington, Nevada, the Company's MacArthur and Yerington are 100% owned by SPS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quaterra Alaska Inc.

The MacArthur property consists of unpatented lode claims and placer claims and covers lands administered by the U.S. Department of Interior - Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"). It is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 1% NSR in consideration of $1,000.

Lion Copper and Gold Corp.Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025(Unaudited - In thousands of U.S. Dollars except for shares and per share amounts)

The Yerington property is centered on the former Anaconda open pit copper mine. This includes simple parcels and patented mining claims as well as unpatented lode and placer claims on land administered by BLM. The Yerington deposit is subject to a 2% NSR upon commencing commercial production. The total lifetime royalty is capped at $7,500.

On March 13, 2025, the Company announced the successful negotiation of a Settlement Agreement with the Nevada Division of Water Resources and the Nevada State Engineering (collectively, the "State") to reinstate 3,452.8 ac-ft of previously forfeited water rights essential for the development of the Yerington Copper project. As a result, the State has officially rescinded its notice of forfeiture, thus restoring all the Company's 6,014.5 ac-ft of water rights to good standing. This Settlement Agreement effectively terminates the legal proceedings initiated by the Company to defend its water rights.

c) Bear Deposit, Nevada

The Bear deposit consists of private land located to the northeast of the Yerington deposit.

The Company has five option agreements, entered between March 2013 and May 2015, subsequently amended, pursuant to which it may acquire a 100% interest in private lands covering the Bear deposit. Under the terms of these option agreements, the Company is required to make aggregate cash payments of $5,988 over 15 years, of which $5,916 had been paid as of March 31, 2026, in order to maintain its exclusive right to purchase the land, mineral rights, and certain water rights, and to conduct mineral exploration activities on the properties.

Two of the properties are subject to a 2% NSR upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 1% NSR in consideration of $1,250 in total.

The remaining payments required to keep the option agreements in good standing consist of $150 due in 2026 and $51 annually from 2027 through 2029, for a total of $302.

These option agreements also contain purchase provisions with cash payments ranging from $6,250 to $22,770, subject to varying written notice requirements ranging from no prior notice to 12-months' notice.

d) Hunewill, Nevada

In November 2025, the Company acquired a parcel of land adjacent to its Yerington Copper Project for total cash consideration of $1,312, including transaction costs. The acquisition was undertaken to expand the Company's land position for potential future exploration and development activities.

The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, and the entire purchase price was capitalized as mineral property costs and allocated to the Hunewill property.

f) Copper Canyon, Nevada

On August 21, 2023, the Company purchased the title to the Copper Canyon claims from Convergent Mining, LLC and paid $10 in mineral claim fees. Further, the Company is required to pay an exploration fee to Convergent Mining, LLC calculated as the 5% of the first $2,000 of qualifying exploration costs, not exceeding $100.

5. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Certain general and administrative expenses were funded by Nuton, including salaries of $303 (2025 - $325), legal and consulting fees of $111 (2025 - $467), and other general administration expenses of $417 (2025 - $333).

A detailed breakdown of general and administrative expenses is provided below:

6. NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST ("NCI")

There were no transactions involving NCI during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as FCC, the entity giving rise to the NCI balance, was deconsolidated effective December 31, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, FCC completed a private placement issuing 4,150,000 common shares at $0.116 per common share for gross proceeds of $482. In addition, FCC granted 10,900,000 stock options with an estimated fair value of $1,038.

7. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On February 3, 2025, and March 11, 2025, FCC entered into convertible loan agreements for $200, and $20, respectively. The loans bear interest at 5% per annum and have 12 months' terms. The principal and accrued interest are convertible into common shares of FCC at the lower of the price per share in the lowest equity financing undertaken by FCC during the term of the loan or $0.106.

Under ASC 815, the conversion feature does not require bifurcation. Therefore, both the debt and the conversion option were accounted for as a single liability carried at book value plus accrued interest.

The following table summarizes the continuity of the convertible debentures for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025:

8. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued certain share purchase warrants that can be exercised in USD or CAD. The warrants were classified as derivative liabilities, carried at fair value and revalued at each reporting date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026,2,380,952 warrants were exercised resulting in a decrease of $309 to the derivative liability.

On March 31, 2026, the Company modified the exercise price of the warrants such that they are only exercisable in USD, the functional currency of the Company. As such, the warrants no longer meet the definition of derivative liability, and the fair value of the warrants of $5,932 on March 31, 2026 was reclassified to equity.

The following table summarizes the continuity of the derivative liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025:

12. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates as a single operating segment focused on exploration and development in the United States. Although general and administrative expenses are incurred across multiple legal entities, the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the Company's board of directors, evaluates performance and allocates resources on a consolidated basis. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets.

13. COMMITMENTS

To acquire certain mineral property interests as per Note 4, the Company must make optional acquisition expenditures to satisfy the terms of existing option agreements, failing which the rights to such mineral properties will revert to the property vendors.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS

The board of directors has overall responsibility for establishing and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, Nuton LLC deposit, convertible debentures, derivative liabilities.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Lion Copper and Gold Corp.Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025(Unaudited - In thousands of U.S. Dollars except for shares and per share amounts)

The Company's activities expose it to financial risks of varying degrees of significance, which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and stockholder returns. The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and commodity price risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework and reviews the Company's policies on an ongoing basis.

The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible debentures, and Nuton LLC deposit approximate their fair values because of their immediate or short term to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost.

The Company's derivative liabilities are measured at its fair value at the end of each reporting period and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy based on the use of observable indirect market data like government bond yields to estimate risk-free rates and dividend yields based on historical dividend patterns. The Company's investment other is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

a) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. To mitigate this risk, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to determine the funds required to support its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company ensures that sufficient funds are raised from equity offerings or debt financing to meet its operating requirements, after considering existing cash and expected exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants. See Note 1 for further discussion.

b) Currency risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in the United States and Canada; and is exposed to currency risk from transactions denominated in CAD. Currently, the Company does not have any foreign exchange hedge programs and manages its operational CAD requirements through spot purchases in the foreign exchange markets. Based on CAD financial assets and liabilities' magnitude, the Company does not have material sensitivity to CAD to USD exchange rates.

c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the interest rate risk on its liabilities through its outstanding borrowings and the interest earned on cash balances. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and maintains an investment policy that focuses primarily on the preservation of capital and liquidity.

d) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in large Canadian and US financial institutions that have high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
