PUREBASE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Corporate Overview

PureBase Corporation ("PureBase" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevadaon March 2, 2010. The Company is an industrial mineral and natural resource company that provides solutions to the agriculture and construction materials markets in the United States through its two subsidiaries, PureBase Agricultural, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("PureBase AG"), and U.S. Agricultural Minerals, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("PureBase AM"), respectively.

The Company's headquarters is in Ione, California.

Agricultural Sector

The Company develops specialized sun protectants. The Company has developed and will seek to develop additional products derived from mineralized materials of kaolin clay.

Construction Sector

The Company has been developing and testing a kaolin-based product that it believes will help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality supplementary cementitious materials ("SCMs"). The Company is developing an SCM that it believes can potentially replace up to 40% of cement, the most polluting part of concrete. As government agencies continue to enact stricter requirements for less-polluting forms of concrete, the Company believes there are significant opportunities for high-quality SCM products in the construction materials sector.

The Company utilizes the services of US Mine Corporation ("USMC"), a Nevada corporation and a significant shareholder of the Company, for the development and contract mining of industrial minerals. A. Scott Dockter, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also officers, directors, and owners of USMC. In addition, a substantial portion of the minerals used by the Company are obtained from properties owned or controlled by US Mine, LLC. A. Scott Dockter, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also owners of US Mine, LLC.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of August 31, 2024, the Company had a significant accumulated deficit of $63,839,678and a working capital deficit of $768,464. For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company had a loss from operations of $1,108,700and negative cash flows from operations of $1,957,010. The Company's operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2024. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company has previously funded and plans to continue funding these losses primarily with additional infusions of cash from advances from USMC and the sale of equity and convertible notes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company's plan, through the continued promotion of its products to existing and potential customers, is to generate sufficient revenues to cover its anticipated expenses. The Company issued a promissory note to USMC on February 8, 2024 and received a new line of credit from USMC on March 7, 2024, and is currently exploring several other options to meet its short-term cash requirements, including issuances of equity securities or equity-linked securities to USMC and other third parties.

Although no assurances can be given as to the Company's ability to deliver on its revenue plans or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management currently believes that the revenue to be generated from operations together with equity and debt financing, including funding from USMC in the form of a line of credit up to $1,000,000, will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

On February 8, 2024, the Company issued a two-year $618,000unsecured convertible note to USMC for the payment of the plaintiff's attorney fees for the settlement of the Calvanico lawsuit (see Note 6). The note bears interest at 8% per annum and any outstanding principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.08per share at the sole discretion of the noteholder. As of the date hereof, there have been $618,000in advances from USMC under the note.

On March 7, 2024, the Company entered into a $1,000,000line of credit agreement with USMC, pursuant to a grid note issued in connection with the line of credit. The note bears interest at 8% per annum and any outstanding principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the sole discretion of the noteholder at a conversion price of $0.08per share at maturity. As of the date hereof, there have been $720,135in advances from USMC under the line of credit. Currently, there are no other arrangements or agreements for financing with USMC and management cannot guarantee any other potential debt or equity financing will be available, or if available, on favorable terms. As such, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations, or cease its operations completely.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements and the information included under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended November 30, 2023, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. The results of the nine months ended August 31, 2024, (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending November 30, 2024.

Principles of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries PureBase AG and PureBase AM. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and equity-based transactions at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations may be affected.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation methods for fair value of options, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

Revenue

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company derives revenues from the sale of products from its agricultural sector and construction sector. The Company's contracted transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company's contracts have a single performance obligation which are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. The Company's performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of control to the customer.

9

Practical Expedients

As part of ASC Topic 606, the Company has adopted practical expedients including:

Significant Financing Component - the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Unsatisfied and Partially Unsatisfied Performance Obligations - for all performance obligations related to contracts with a duration for less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC Topic 606 and therefore is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end of the reporting period.
Shipping and Handling Activities - the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation.
Right to Invoice - the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value provided to the customer of the Company's performance completed to date. The Company may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were nocash equivalents as of August 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023.

Accounts Receivable

The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. If collectability of an account becomes unlikely, an allowance is recorded for that doubtful account. As of August 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company has determined that noallowance for credit losses was necessary.

10

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to five years, except for SCM plants, which lives are estimated at thirty years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated.

Equipment 3-5years
Autos and trucks 5years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations. The Company currently has $547,907
SCM plants 30years
in property and equipment that it acquired on May 1, 2020. As of August 31, 2024, the Company has not put the acquired property and equipment to use. As such, the Company has not recorded depreciation related to these assets. The Company has $202,809in costs for its pilot plant which has begun manufacturing sample quantities of the Company's SCM product for testing by third-parties. The Company has begun recording depreciation related to the pilot plant. The Company also has $67,164in other fixed assets which are fully depreciated.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023.

Shipping and Handling

The Company incurs shipping and handling costs which are charged back to the customer. There were nonet amounts incurred or included in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred and such costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expenses were $5,311and $651for the three months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Advertising and marketing expenses were $19,761and $3,294for the nine months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fair Value Measurements

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
Level 3: Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute all of the Company's debt and interest payable on the notes based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate.

Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023. All outstanding options are considered potential common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options are calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, outstanding options have been excluded from the Company's computation of net loss per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023.

12

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company's net loss even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common stock:

Total 146,837,479 135,344,297

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For stock options issued to employees and members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.

Pursuant to ASU 2018-07 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options as noted above.

Leases

With the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the balance sheet as Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets and corresponding lease liabilities. ROU assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

13

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The Company leases its corporate offices. The lease is classified as an operating lease. The Company is a party to a two-year lease with USMC for 1,000square feet of office space located in Ione, California (the "Ione Lease") with respect to its corporate operations (See Note 7). Effective November 1, 2022, the Ione Lease was amended to extend the lease through October 2024 and to add an additional 700square feet of office space for a total monthly rental price of $3,500per month, with automatic one-month renewals. The remaining weighted average term is 0.20years. The Company discounted lease payments using its estimated incremental borrowing rate at December 1, 2020. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 5%.

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company recognized a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for long-term office leases. See Note 7 - Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is "more likely-than-not" that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

For uncertain tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company's practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Exploration Stage

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities such as drill programs to establish mineralized materials are expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred. As of August 31, 2024, the Company was not engaged in any mine exploration.

14

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Mineral Rights

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, expenditures relating to the acquisition of mineral rights are initially capitalized as incurred while exploration and pre-extraction expenditures are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company exits the Exploration Stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities such as drill programs to establish mineralized materials are expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities are expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for that project, after which expenditures relating to mine development activities for that particular project are capitalized as incurred.

Where proven and probable reserves have been established, the project's capitalized expenditures are depleted over proven and probable reserves upon commencement of production using the units-of-production method. Where proven and probable reserves have not been established, such capitalized expenditures are depleted over the estimated production life upon commencement of extraction using the straight-line method.

The carrying values of the mineral rights are assessed for impairment by management on a quarterly basis or when indicators of impairment exist. Should management determine that these carrying values cannot be recovered, the unrecoverable amounts are written off against earnings. As of August 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company did not have any capitalized mineral rights.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 primarily enhances disclosures about significant segment expenses by requiring that a public entity disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU also (i) requires that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment, and a description of its composition; (ii) requires that all annual disclosures are provided in the interim periods; (iii) clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of profitability in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, that one or more of those measures may be reported; (iv) requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and a description of how the reported measures are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and in deciding how to allocate resources; (v) requires that an entity with a single segment provide all new required disclosures. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and requires retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments under ASU 2023-07 relate to financial disclosures and its adoption will not have an impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-07 for the annual reporting period ending November 30, 2024 and for interim reporting periods thereafter. The Chief Executive Officer is the CODM of the Company. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment.

NOTE 4 - MINING RIGHTS

Snow White Mine located in San Bernardino County, CA - Deposit

On November 28, 2014, US Mining and Minerals Corporation entered into a Purchase Agreement in which it agreed to sell its fee simple property interest and certain mining claims to USMC. On December 1, 2014, USMC assigned its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement to the Company pursuant to an Assignment of Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Assignment, the Company assumed the purchaser position under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale of approximately 280acres of mining property containing 5placer mining claims known as the Snow White Mine located near Barstow, California in San Bernardino County. The property is covered by a Conditional Use Permit allowing the mining of the property and a Plan of Operation and Reclamation Plan has been approved by San Bernardino County and Bureau of Land Management. An initial deposit of $50,000was paid to the Company and held in escrow and the Purchase Agreement required the payment of an additional $600,000at the end of the escrow period. There was a delay in the original seller, Joseph Richard Matthewson, receiving a clear title to the property and a fully permitted project, both of which were conditions to the closing of the sale from US Mining and Minerals Corporation to the Company. In light of the foregoing, and the payment of an additional $25,000, the parties agreed to extend the closing. Due to delays in the Company securing the necessary funding to close the purchase of the Snow White Mine property, John Bremer, a shareholder and a director of the Company, paid $575,000to acquire the property interest and mining claims on or about October 15, 2015. Mr. Bremer agreed to transfer title to the Company upon payment of $575,000plus expenses to Mr. Bremer, however, the Company is under no obligation to do so. The mining claims require a minimum royalty payment of $3,500per year to be made by the Company, which is paid by USMC on behalf of the Company.

NOTE 4 - MINING RIGHTS (CONTINUED)

On April 1, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the Bremer Family 1995 Living Trust (the "Trust"), pursuant to which the Company will purchase the Snow White Mine for $836,000(the "Purchase Price") from the Trust. The Purchase Price plus 5% interest is payable in cash at closing. On April 14, 2022, the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to April 14, 2023. On April 7, 2023, the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to April 1, 2024. On July 12, 2024 the agreement was amended to extend the closing date to July 12, 2026.

Legal Matters

On July 8, 2020, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, Al Calvanico ("Calvanico"), filed a demand for arbitration alleging retaliation, wrongful termination, and demand for a minimum of $600,000in alleged stock value, plus interest, recovery of past and future wages, attorneys' fees, and punitive damages (collectively, the "Calvanico Claims"). The Company denied all Calvanico Claims. The Company believed Calvanico was owed nothing because it took the position that Calvanico was not terminated, but rather, his employment contract expired on September 21, 2019, in accordance with its terms, and was not renewed by the Company and because Calvanico never exercised his stock options. The Company and Calvanico engaged in binding arbitration which concluded on February 3, 2023. On June 20, 2023, the arbitrator decided in favor of the Company with respect to Calvanico's breach of contract, fraud and negligent representation and wrongful discharge claims and in favor of Calvanico for asserted attorney fee claims in accordance with Calvanico's employment agreement with the Company. At a July 18, 2023, teleconference regarding a determination of attorney fees to be paid, the arbitrator established a briefing schedule for the parties to formally present their legal arguments on the issue. Calvanico's brief in support of attorney fees was due and timely filed on August 15, 2023. The Company's brief in opposition was due and timely filed on September 19, 2023. Calvanico's reply brief was filed on October 4, 2023.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements that reflect management's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are statements in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

These risks and factors include, by way of example and without limitation:

absence of contracts with customers or suppliers;
our ability to maintain and develop relationships with customers and suppliers;
the impact of competitive products and pricing;
supply constraints or difficulties;
the retention and availability of key personnel;
general economic and business conditions;
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern;
our ability to successfully implement our business plan;
our need to raise additional funds in the future;
our ability to successfully recruit and retain qualified personnel in order to continue our operations;
our ability to successfully acquire, develop or commercialize new products;
the commercial success of our products;
the impact of any industry regulation;
our ability to develop existing mining projects or establish proven or probable reserves;
our dependence on one vendor for our minerals for our products;
the impact of potentially losing the rights to properties; and
the impact of the increase in the price of natural resources.
29

We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report, except as required by law.

As used in this Quarterly Report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our," refer to PureBase Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, PureBase Agricultural, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("PureBase AG") and U.S. Agricultural Minerals, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("PureBase AM").

Business Overview

We are an industrial mineral and natural resource company that provides solutions to the agriculture and construction materials markets in the United States, through our two subsidiaries, PureBase AG, and PureBase AM, respectively. The Company relies on US Mine LLC for its raw materials. A. Scott Dockter, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also owners of US Mine, LLC.

We utilize the services of US Mine Corporation ("USMC"), a Nevada corporation and a significant stockholder of the Company for the development and contract mining of industrial mineral and metal projects, exploration, drilling, preparation of feasibility studies, mine modeling, on-site construction, production site reclamation and for product fulfillment. Exploration services include securing necessary permits, environmental compliance, and reclamation plans. In addition, all of the minerals used by the Company are obtained from properties owned or controlled by US Mine LLC.

A. Scott Dockter, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a director, and John Bremer, a director, are also officers, directors and owners of USMC. A. Scott Dockter and John Bremer are also managers and owners of US Mine LLC.

We obtain certain raw clay materials from USMC through a material extraction agreement with US Mine LLC. US Mine LLC owns the mining property which USMC leases. USMS pays US Mine LLC a royalty for which the Company reimburses USMC.

Agricultural Sector

We develop specialized sun protectants. We have developed and will seek to develop additional products derived from mineralized materials of kaolin clay.

Construction Sector

We have been developing and testing a kaolin-based product that we believe will help create a lower CO2-emitting concrete through the use of high-quality supplementary cementitious materials ("SCMs"). We are developing an SCM that we believe can potentially replace up to 40% of cement, the most polluting part of concrete. As government agencies continue to enact stricter requirements for less-polluting forms of concrete, we believe there are significant opportunities for high-quality SCM products in the construction-materials sector.

Revenues

Revenue decreased by $2,929, or 1%, for the three months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2023. This decrease was due to a decrease in customer purchases of agricultural products in the three months ended August 31, 2024.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased by $3,098, or 7%, for the three months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2023, as a result of an increase in production supplies during the three months ended August 31, 2024.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased by $96,670, or 33%, for the three months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2023. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in selling and general and administrative expenses of $117,892 for the three months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in wages and related expenses and repairs to the pilot plant.

31

Interest Expense, Related Parties

Interest expense decreased by $1,298 for the three months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2023, primarily due to conversion of notes payable to USMC to common stock in January 2024.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2024 to the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2023

August 31, 2024 August 31, 2023 Variance

Provision for income taxes 2,400 2,400 -
Net Loss $ (1,108,700 ) $ (8,002,041 ) $ 6,893,341

Revenues

Revenue decreased by $15,839, or 5%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2023. This decrease was due to no sales of agricultural products in the three months ended February 29, 2024, partially offset by greater sales of agricultural products in the three months ended May 31, 2024.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold decreased by $12,896, or 14%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2023, as a result of a decrease in products sold during the nine months ended August 31, 2024.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased by $7,255,241, or 85%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $7,311,827 for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2023, partially offset by an increase of $79,999 in selling and general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in wages and related expenses, an increase in pilot plant repairs and an increase in business insurance, offset by a decrease in professional services.

As of April 2023, the Company no longer expensed the option to purchase an aggregate of 116,000,000 shares of common stock issued to US Mine LLC on October 6, 2021, which resulted in the decreased stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended August 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2023.

Other Income

Other income decreased by $310,401, or 100%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2023. $275,000 other income in the nine months ended August 31, 2023 was for the settlement of a lawsuit for less than had been reserved. $35,401 other income in the nine months ended August 31, 2023 was for the forgiveness of a note principal and related accrued interest.

32

Interest Expense, Related Parties

Interest expense increased by $25,143, or 54%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2023, primarily due to increased borrowing from USMC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 31, 2024, we had cash on hand of $31,246 and a working capital deficiency of $768,464, as compared to cash on hand of $5,572 and a working capital deficiency of $1,493,349 as of November 30, 2023. The decrease in working capital deficiency is primarily a result of an increase in cash of $25,674, an increase in accounts receivable of $74,244, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $286,977, a decrease in interest expense related parties of $60,908, and a decrease in settlement liability of $618,000 (financed by a long-term convertible note payable), offset by $373,400 increase in the line of credit with USMC.

The Company's operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2024, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company has previously funded and currently plans to continue funding these losses from lines of credit with USMC and the sale of equity and debt.

Although no assurances can be given as to the Company's ability to deliver on its revenue plans or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management currently believes that the revenue to be generated from operations together with equity and debt financing, including the funding from USMC in connection with the March 7, 2024 line of credit will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

Going Concern

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses from inception through August 31, 2024 of $63,839,678, negative cash flows from operating activities of $1,957,010 for the nine months ended August 31, 2024 and a working capital deficiency of $768,464 as of August 31, 2024. During the nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company received net cash proceeds of $1,991,400 from USMC. If the Company does not generate additional revenue and obtain equity and debt financing from USMC or other third parties, it will not have sufficient cash to meet its obligations for the next twelve months, following the date of this Quarterly Report. There currently are no other arrangements or agreements for financing, and there can be no assurances that any other potential debt or equity financing will be available, or if available, on favorable terms. As such, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Working Capital Deficiency

August 31, 2024 November 30, 2023
Current assets $ 132,223 $ 21,006
Current liabilities 900,687 1,514,355
Working capital deficiency $ (768,464 ) $ (1,493,349 )

The increase in current assets as of August 31, 2024, is primarily due to the increase in cash of $25,674 and accounts receivable of $74,244. The decrease in current liabilities is primarily a result of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $286,977, a decrease in interest payable related party of $60,908, and a decrease settlement liability of $618,000, offset partially by an increase in borrowing under the line of credit of $373,400.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2024 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by Sarbanes-Oxley is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company has determined that its internal control over financial reporting was ineffective due to the following material weaknesses:

Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
Insufficient formal policies and procedures; and
Lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks on a timely manner.

Management's Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness

Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include:

Continue to establish appropriate segregation of duties to achieve internal control objectives; and
Continue to develop policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures.

We engaged a third-party financial operations consulting firm to assist with the preparation of SEC reporting through the period ended August 31, 2023.

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
