For the Quarter Ended February 28, 2025 6 ​ Table of contents 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 February 28, 2025 and our results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024. The results of operations for the three-month period ended February 28, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2025. 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, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Canadian securities regulatory authorities on February 14, 2025. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Audit Committee on behalf of the Board of Directors for issue on April 1, 2025. 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 LLC (“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 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Trilogy Metals Inc. For the Quarter Ended February 28, 2025 7 ​ Table of contents Trilogy Metals Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements ​ 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. ​ New accounting pronouncements Updates to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. AUS 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The standard is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the guidance on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Updates to Income Tax Disclosure In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard is effective beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2026, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the guidance on the consolidated financial statements. ​ ​ 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 February 28, 2025, totaled $ 106.9 million (2024 - $ 134.0 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 February 28, 2025 (2024 - $ 1.6 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Trilogy Metals Inc.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). 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. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held with a single Canadian Financial Institution and is uninsured as at February 28, 2025.
