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 losses of Ambler Metals. The decrease in 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 for the 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 in 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 consulting 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

The Company has a 2024 fiscal year cash budget totaling $2.8 million. We expended $1.9 million on operating activities during the nine-month period ending August 31, 2024 compared with budgeted cash expenditures totaling $2.1 million, 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 joint venture 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, investor conferences and office expenses. In addition, the Company's board of directors continues to receive all of their fees in deferred share units in an effort to preserve cash. The Company's senior management team is also continuing to receive 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.

About Trilogy Metals

Trilogy Metals Inc. is a metal exploration and development company which holds a 50 percent interest in Ambler Metals LLC, which has a 100 percent interest in the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects in northwestern Alaska. On December 19, 2019, South32, a globally diversified mining and metals company, exercised its option to form a 50/50 joint venture with Trilogy. The UKMP is located within the Ambler Mining District which is one of the richest and most-prospective known copper-dominant districts in the world. It hosts world-class polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposits that contain copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver, and carbonate replacement deposits which have been found to host high-grade copper and cobalt mineralization. Exploration efforts have been focused on two deposits in the Ambler Mining District - the Arctic VMS deposit and the Bornite carbonate replacement deposit. Both deposits are located within a land package that spans approximately 190,929 hectares. Ambler Metals has an agreement with NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., an Alaska Native Corporation that provides a framework for the exploration and potential development of the Ambler Mining District in cooperation with local communities.
