• We believe the current resource at Swanson can support 10+ years of operations, averaging 10-15 Koz of gold annually, with higher production in the initial years from higher-grade ore.
  • At 10 Koz/year production, we estimate operating profit of ~US$25 M per year at today’s gold price vs the current MCAP of just US$27M. This implies that shares are trading at 1.1x operating profit (sector: 4.2x), highlighting a significant valuation gap.
  • An independent study estimates the mill restart to cost US$4M, and US$52M for full replacement. Given the current MCAP of US$27M, we note the market is not only undervaluing the mill, but also overlooking the Swanson project, capable of 10+ years of production.
  • The company is conducting a 10-hole drill program to potentially validate historical drilling, fill gaps in the resource model, and confirm high-grade continuity.
  • With gold near record highs, we anticipate robust M&A activity over the next 12 months as larger companies target juniors. We remain positive on gold prices, supported by US$ weakness, and strong safe-haven demand amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty.
  • LFLR is currently pursuing a $6M private placement. Upcoming catalysts include resource expansion/upgrades, a PEA, mill restart, potential custom milling agreements, and project financing.

The Swanson property includes surface and underground infrastructure, featuring a 500 m ramp to the deposit 80 m below surface

The mill was refurbished in 2022 by the previous owner for $20M, and is currently in good condition, with a permitted tailings facility


2024 Resource Estimate

Qualified Person: L ouis Martin, P.Geo . (OGQ), Exploration Manager of LFLR Source: Company LFLR has completed a 5,283 m (24-hole) resource expansion drill program, targeting 50 prospects across Swanson, Jolin, Bartec , and Marimac . Key Targets

Source: Company

The program returned high-grade, near-surface gold assays, including 7.47 g/t Au over 1.35 m and 7.68 g/t Au over 1 m , confirming continuity and expansion potential. Step-out drilling extended mineralization southeast and northwest.

Previous owners delineated a high-grade, small-tonnage open-pit resource

The current resource envelope measures 475 m long x 425 m wide x 500 m deep; 84% of resources are open-pittable


Significant Assays from the Swanson and Bartec Targets

The company is currently conducting a 10-hole program to validate historical drilling, infill gaps in the resource model, and confirm high-grade continuity. LFLR is also conducting geological and engineering planning for an 80,000 tonne bulk sampling program at Swanson, with processing planned at the Beacon m ill. Data from this program will support the upcoming PEA .

FRC Valuation

Strengthening balance sheet$1.90 M in cash at the end of September 2025 Subsequently, LFLR completed a $1.66M equity financing, and is currently pursuing an additional $6 M raise In-the-money options and warrants can bring in up to $4 M Our DCF model returned a fair value estimate of $1.10/share (previously $1.04/share), driven by higher gold prices, partially offset by share dilution since our previous report in August 2025 As with any mining project, our valuation is highly sensitiveto gold prices

  • We are reiterating our BUY rating, and raising our fair value estimate from $ 1.04 to $ 1.10 /share .
  • We base our valuation solely on our DCF model, as few projects offer a similar low-CAPEX, quick-to-production profile.
  • We believe the market significantly undervalues the Beacon m ill , and the Swanson resource, highlighting a clear valuation gap . Upcoming catalysts such as the PEA, drill results, potential custom milling agreements, and project financing could unlock substantial value.
  • Risks We believe the company is exposed to the following key risks (not exhaustive): The value of the company is highly dependent on gold prices Exploration and development Permitting Access to capital and potential for share dilution CAPEX and OPEX could exceed our estimates
