	NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
	Expressed in United States dollars, except for share data

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

(a) Nature of operations

Austin Gold Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 21, 2020, in British Columbia ("BC"), Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in BC and its common shares are traded on the NYSE American stock exchange under the symbol "AUST". The Company's address is the 9th Floor, 1021 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6E 0C3.

The Company is focused on the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral resource properties primarily in the western United States of America ("USA").

The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral resource properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The continued operation of the Company is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in its properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration, evaluation and development of such properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of such properties.

(b) Going concern assumption

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will be able to meet its commitments, continue operations and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for at least twelve months from March 31, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred a net loss of $563,674 and used cash in operating activities of $503,612. As at March 31, 2026, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $12,278,793 that has been funded by equity financings.

The Company has no current source of revenue or cash flow from operating activities, has incurred ongoing losses and expects to incur further losses in the advancement of its business. To address its financing requirements, the Company plans to seek financing through, but not limited to, debt financing, equity financing and strategic alliances. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be available. If adequate financing is not available or cannot be obtained on a timely basis, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its exploration programs, or relinquish some or all of its rights under existing mineral lease and option agreements.

On February 10, 2026, the Company entered into an At-The-Market ("ATM") Agreement with H. C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the "Lead Manager") as lead manager and Roth Capital Partners, LLC as co-manager. Under the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Company is entitled to sell, at its sole discretion and from time to time as it may choose, common shares of the Company through the Lead Manager having an aggregate gross offering amount of up to $7,500,000. As at March 31, 2026, the Company has not issued any common shares under the ATM Agreement (refer to note 8).

The above factors give rise to material uncertainties that raise substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, liabilities, the reported expenses and the consolidated statement of financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

(a) Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards").

The Company's material accounting policy information applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those disclosed in note 3 of the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements.

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary is the United States dollar ("USD" or "$"). The presentation currency of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements is USD. Any reference to Canadian dollars is denoted by "C$" or "CAD".

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 6, 2026.

(b) Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying its accounting policies. Estimates and policy judgments are regularly evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Significant accounting policy judgments include:

The assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern which requires judgment related to future funding available for advancement of its business activities and to meet working capital requirements, the outcome of which is uncertain (refer to note 1(b)); and

The application of the Company's accounting policy for impairment of E&E assets which requires judgment to determine whether indicators of impairment exist including factors such as the period for which the Company has the right to explore, expected renewals of exploration rights, whether substantive expenditures on further E&E of resource properties are budgeted and evaluation of the results of E&E activities up to the reporting date. Management assessed impairment indicators for the Company's E&E assets and concluded that no impairment indicators exist as of March 31, 2026.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued)

(c) New accounting standards and recent pronouncements

The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective:

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements focuses on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to the structure of the statement of profit or loss, required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. Many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and also applies to comparative information. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this standard.

There are no other IFRS Accounting Standards or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee interpretations that are not yet effective or early adopted that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

3. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

As at March 31, 2026, the composition of cash and cash equivalents consists of cash in the amount of $765,529 (December 31, 2025 - $573,159). The Company does not hold any term deposits with an original maturity date of less than three months.

The Company entered into an agreement with Pediment Gold LLC ("Pediment"), a subsidiary of URZ3 Energy Corp. ("URZ") (formerly Nevada Exploration Inc. ("NGE")), for an option to earn up to a 70% interest in a joint venture on the Kelly Creek Project.

On June 3, 2024, the Company and Pediment agreed to amend the terms of the option to enter joint venture agreement. Under this third amendment, the Company may exercise the option to earn a 51% interest in the project by incurring a cumulative total of C$2,500,000 (in progress) of E&E expenditures on the project by June 30, 2027. The cumulative total includes E&E expenditures incurred on the project as of June 3, 2024 in the amount of $923,757.

The Company has the option to increase its participating interest by an additional 19% to a total of 70% by incurring an additional C$2,500,000 on E&E expenditures with no time limit, although the Company must continue to pay the underlying property lease payments and the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") and county fees to keep the properties subject to the joint venture in good standing.

There are minimum annual royalty payments required by the Company as part of an underlying agreement within the Kelly Creek Project. On June 6, 2024, the Company and Julian Tomera Ranches, Inc. agreed to amend the terms of the mining lease agreement (the "Hot Pot Agreement").

10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company has exposure to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk from its use of financial instruments.

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company's cash flows or value of its financial instruments.

(i) Currency risk

The Company is subject to currency risk on financial instruments that are denominated in currencies that are not the same as the functional currency of the entity that holds them. Exchange gains and losses would impact the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company does not use any hedging instruments to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates.

10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

The Company is exposed to currency risk through cash and cash equivalents, receivables and other, marketable securities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities held in the parent entity which are denominated in CAD.

The following table shows the impact on pre-tax loss of a 10% change in the USD:CAD exchange rate on financial assets and liabilities denominated in CAD, as of March 31, 2026, with all other variables held constant:

		Impact of currency rate change on pre-tax loss
		10% increase			10% decrease
Cash and cash equivalents	$	9,779		$	(9,779	)
Receivables and other		887			(887	)
Marketable securities		1,857			(1,857	)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(7,335	)		7,335

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risk with respect to its investments in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company's current policy is to invest cash at variable and fixed rates of interest with cash reserves to be maintained in cash and cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity. Fluctuations in interest rates when cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments mature impact interest and finance income earned.

The impact on pre-tax loss of a 1% change in variable interest rates on financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026, with all other variables held constant, would be nominal.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its financial assets including cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure:

		March 31,		December 31,
		2026		2025
Cash and cash equivalents	$	765,529	$	573,159
Short-term investments		1,826,800		2,571,468
	$	2,592,329	$	3,144,627

The Company mitigates its exposure to credit risk on financial assets through investing its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with Canadian Tier 1 chartered financial institutions. Management believes there is a nominal expected credit loss associated with its financial assets.

(c) 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 by monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities.

The Company has issued surety bonds to support future decommissioning and restoration provisions (refer to note 6(d)).

Contractual undiscounted cash flow requirements for contractual obligations as at March 31, 2026 are as follows:

		Carrying amount		Contractual cash flows		Due within 1 year		Due within 2 years		Due within 3 years
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	172,414	$	172,414	$	172,414	$	-	$	-
	$	172,414	$	172,414	$	172,414	$	-	$	-

(d) Fair value estimation

The Company's financial assets and liabilities are initially measured and recognized according to a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

	Level 1:	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
	Level 2:	Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
	Level 3:	Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following tables present the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy.

As at March 31, 2026				Fair value
		Carrying value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial assets
Marketable securities	$	18,566	$	18,566	$	-	$	-

10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

The Company's financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Marketable securities are fair valued at each reporting period using URZ's (formerly NGE's) share price on the TSX Venture Exchange.

11. COMMITMENTS

The Company executed an introductory agent agreement with BMR (the "BMR Agreement"). Under the BMR Agreement, should a mineral property recommended by BMR be acquired by the Company, the Company shall pay an introductory agent fee as follows:

Within 15 days of acquisition		$5,000
6 months after acquisition		$5,000
12 months after acquisition		$5,000
18 months after acquisition		$5,000
24 months after acquisition		$7,500
30 months after acquisition		$7,500
36 months after acquisition		$10,000
42 months after acquisition		$10,000
48 months after acquisition and every six months thereafter		$15,000

If commercial production is achieved on a property recommended by BMR, the Company shall pay a 0.5% net smelter return royalty on all mineral interests acquired within the area of influence of the mineral property. Introductory agent fees and net smelter return royalty payments totaling $1,000,000 paid by the Company will reduce the net smelter return royalty by 50% to 0.25%.

As at March 31, 2026, the BMR Agreement is not in effect for any of the Company's mineral projects.

12. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Exploration and development of mineral projects is considered the Company's single business segment. All of the Company's E&E assets are located in the USA.
