Forward-Looking Statements
This document may contain "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation ("forward-looking statements"). These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document and the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required under applicable securities legislation.
Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect Company management's expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, success of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative of these terms or comparable terminology. In this document, certain forward-looking statements are identified by words including "may", "future", "expected", "intends" and "estimates". By their very nature forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to actual results of current exploration activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of resources; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; as well as those factors detailed from time to time in the Company's interim and annual consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of those statements, all of which are filed and available for review under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company provides no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The Company is a junior mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties.
The Company will require significant funding to fund current and anticipated levels of operations and administration, complete renegotiation of the terms on the Simon Property, conduct due diligence on future potential mineral property interest acquisitions and retire its current indebtedness. The Company has been receiving ongoing advances from its shareholders and officers of the Company to pay certain of its immediate indebtedness and will need further advances and/or raise additional capital from the sale of common shares or other equity or debt instruments. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to complete the mineral interest acquisition agreement on the Simon Property or any other property, including the properties described below, or identify and negotiate completion of any potential mineral interest acquisitions and continue as a going concern.
Proposed Acquisition
On November 22, 2023 the Company entered into an option and acquisition agreement (the "Agreement") with Electric Metals (USA) Ltd. ("EMPL ParentCo"), its wholly owned subsidiaries Electric Metals (USA) PTY Limited ("EMPL") (collectively the "Vendor"), North American Silver Corporation ("NAS") and Centennial Mining Inc. ("Centennial") in connection with the option to acquire up to 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NAS by the Company. NAS owns Centennial which holds mineral rights and rights to acquire mineral rights in the State of Nevada in the United States of America.
Effective July 22, 2025 the Company and the Vendor formally terminated the Agreement.
Board of Directors and Officers
The Company's current board of directors and officers as of the date of this MD&A are as follows:
Mr. George Young
Director, CEO, President and Chairman
Dr. Michael G. Nelson
Director
Mr. Moe Dilon

Mr. Jack Cartmel

Property Agreements
Simon Property, Nevada, USA
On May 7, 2021, as amended most recently on December 5, 2024, the Company has entered into a binding letter agreement (the "LOI") with International Millennium Mining Inc. ("Millennium"), a publicly traded company, whereby the Company can acquire a 65% interest (the "Simon Interest") in 37 unpatented lode claims and 20 patented lode claims (the "Simon Property") located in the state of Nevada. To earn the Simon Interest the Company must:
(i) issue a total of 3,500,000 common shares of the Company to Millennium by December 5, 2029, with the initial 1,000,000 common shares to be issued upon approval of the TSXV;
(ii) commencing October 31, 2024, pay US $2,500 per month (previously US $2,000 per month) to Millennium during the term of the letter agreement, until: (i) the Simon Property option payments are met; or (ii) at any time after December 5, 2025, a property purchase agreement settlement is reached. During fiscal 2025 the Company incurred a total of $38,547 (2024 - $39,261) for ongoing monthly payments to Millennium; and
(iii) incur a total of US $3,200,000 of exploration expenditures on or before June 30, 2030.
The Simon Property will be subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR").
As at June 30, 2025 option payments totalling US $5,000 were outstanding. The Company and Millennium are in the process of renegotiating the terms to the LOI. The Company's initial submission to the TSXV for approval has been determined to be withdrawn and the Company must make a resubmission to the TSXV in the event it proceeds with the LOI.
All costs paid and incurred have been expensed to general exploration.
Disposition of Altair Mining Inc. ("Altair USA") and Default Judgment
On June 21, 2019 the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altair USA, to International Silver Inc. ("ISI"). Altair USA's sole asset was the Pioche Project. ISI was to be responsible for all project costs relating to the Pioche Project.
On March 10, 2020 a complaint for breach of contract was filed against the Company for non-payment for professional services provided on the Pioche Project. No responses were submitted by the Company. On September 29, 2020 a default judgment (the "Default Judgment") was awarded against the Company for US $238,023 for the unpaid contract balance, accrued interest and legal costs to September 29, 2020. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 the Company recorded accrued interest of $7,878 (2024 - $7,789). As at June 30, 2025 the Company has recorded $475,853 (March 31, 2025 - $493,236) in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the estimated default judgment amount, legal costs and accrued interest. Pursuant to the disposition agreement ISI agreed to the transfer and guarantee of specific indebtedness of Altair USA, which included the Default Judgment. Should the creditor take legal action to enforce the judgment in British Columbia the Company may have to pay the Default Judgment, legal costs and accrued interest. The ability by the Company to recover this obligation from ISI would be doubtful and a provision has been recorded in the accounts.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
During the three months ended June 30, 2025 ("Q1/2026") the Company reported a net loss of $50,978 compared to a net loss of $91,485 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ("Q4/2025") a decrease in loss of $40,507. The decrease is due to a $46,290 fluctuation in foreign exchange, from a gain of $507 in Q4/2025 compared to a gain of $46,797 in Q1/2026, and partially offset by a reversal of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $8,940 during Q4/2025 compared to $nil in Q1/2025.

(a) a $54,419 fluctuation in foreign exchange from a loss of $7,622 in Q1/2025 to a gain of $46,797 in Q1/2026;
(b) a decrease in general and administration expenses of $14,305 from $103,000 in Q1/2025 to $88,695 in Q1/2026. Significant fluctuations in general and administrative expenses were as follows:
(i) general exploration expenses of $33,095 in Q1/2025 compared to $nil Q1/2026; and
(iii) audit expenses of $20,000 in Q1/2026 compared to $nil in Q1/2025 due to the timing of the audit billing for the audit of the year-end financial statements.
Financings
During Q1/2026 and Q1/2025 the Company did not conduct any equity financings.
Financial Condition / Capital Resources
As at June 30, 2025 the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,921,989 and an accumulated deficit of $25,308,341. The Company has no revenue streams and the Company will require significant funding to fund anticipated levels of operations and administration, complete its submissions and receive regulatory approvals, make cash payments as required, fund exploration requirements, conduct due diligence and negotiations on any other potential mineral property interest acquisition opportunities as they arise and retire its current indebtedness. The Company is currently relying on advances from its shareholders and officers to pay certain of its immediate indebtedness and will need to raise additional capital from the sale of common shares or other equity or debt instruments. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funding and complete any of its mineral interest agreements. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to complete any of the mineral interest acquisition agreements and continue as a going concern.
Subsequent to June 30, 2025 the Company received a further $25,827 (US $19,400) of advances from Mr. Young.
