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 nine months ended September 30, 2026, our total operating expenses included general and administrative and impairment expenses of $248,864 as compared to $136,653 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The $111,911 change was mainly related to the $25,000 impairment expense related to the Ophir Creek Placer Gold mineral rights and properties and an increase in professional and administrative fees.
Other expense
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, total other expense was $182,089 as compared to other expense of $198,073 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The $15,984 change was mainly related to a loss on conversion of debt in the prior year.
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 September 30, 2026, we had not yet generated sufficient revenues or achieved profitable operations, and we have accumulated losses of $22,626,566. 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.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have and have never had any off-balance sheet arrangements.
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.
