Management Discussion and Analysis

For the Period ended April 30, 2021

INTRODUCTION

This management discussion and analysis (MD&A), prepared as on June 29, 2021, contains information as of April 30, 2021 and should be read in conjunction with the interim Financial Statements for the periods ended April 30, 2021 of Beauce Gold Fields Inc. (‘’Beauce’’, the ‘’Corporation’’ or ‘’BGF’’). The Notes referred to in this MD&A refer back to the Notes in the Financial Statements. The Unaudited Financial Statements are presented in compliance with the IAS 34 Standards ¨Quarterly Financial Information¨ which calls for critical accounting estimates. They also demand of Management the period of its judgement in the application of the accounting methods used by BGF. Note 5 of the Financial Statements outlines the particularly complex areas where such judgement is required as well as the hypotheses and estimates where such hypotheses and estimates have a major effect on the Financial Statements. The Financial Statements were not adjusted in regard to the accounting value of Assets and Liabilities, Revenues and Expenses and to the classification used in the preparation of the Cash Flow Statement under the hypothesis of the Corporation`s ability to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be significant. All amounts are in Canadian dollars.

The Financial Statements of April 30, 2021, were prepared by management and are not audited

The Financial Statements were not adjusted in regard to the accounting value of Assets and Liabilities, Revenues and Expenses and to the classification used in the preparation of the Cash Flow Statement under the hypothesis of the Corporation`s ability to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be significant.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 epidemic a pandemic. The situation is constantly evolving, and the measures put in place have numerous economic repercussions at the global, national, provincial and local levels. These measures, which include travel bans, solitary confinement or quarantine, voluntary or not, and social distancing, have caused significant disruption among businesses, globally and in Canada, due to the slowdown economic. Governments and central banks responded by implementing monetary and fiscal measures to stabilize the world economy; however, the current difficult economic climate may cause adverse changes in cash flow, the level of working capital and / or the search for future financing, which could have a direct impact on the Company future financial position. The financial impact on the Company is not know at this time.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS

PROJECT: SAINT-SIMON-LES MINES - SUMMARY

The Company completed the agreements concluded with its parent company HPQ-Silicon Resources Inc. ("HPQ") of December 2018 for the acquisition of the Beauce project which consists of one hundred and fifty-two (152) 'a total area of 4,808.95 hectares. The majority of the claims are contiguous. The claims are located in the Beauce region of Quebec about 70 km southeast of Quebec City. Historically, Beauce has been the site of the first gold mining operations in Canada and is also recognized as one of the largest placer deposit areas in northeastern North America.

The Beauce Gold project is located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines. It hosts a historical placer gold channel consisting of an unconsolidated sedimentary unit over a length of 6 kilometers (one unit of deep Saprolite and brown diamictite on the surface). Previous work done by HPQ Silicon (formerly Uragold Bay Resources) obsrved from sonic drill core of the historical placer gold channel, observed delicate and pristine gold nuggets, suggesting a relatively proximal source and therefore a short transport distance. The gold in saprolite indicates a close proximity to a bedrock source of gold, providing possible further exploration discoveries.

The Company has acquired, from a Private Collector, a trove of never before published exploration data by the Beauce Placer Mining company that operated from 1957 to 1965 on the company’s Beauce Gold property located in Saint-Simon-les-Mines, Quebec.

Active from 1957 to 1965, the Beauce Placer Company was the largest placer gold mining operation in eastern North America. Yet, there was very little documentation available of the work completed during that period. Historical reports found on the Government of Quebec’s geology and mining data registry are but brief summaries and observations. Missing were drill hole logs and subsequent results, geophysics data, field surveys, compilation maps and for that matter, all aspects pertaining to of the dredge mining operation itself. These have now been found.

The exploration information will be integrated will all other historical data described in the company’s Beauce July 4[th] 2018 43-101 report to create a comprehensive overview for analysis. For example, BGF reported 97 historical overburden drill holes (78 RC drill holes by Coniagas and Macamic plus 19 sonic drill holes by Geological Survey of Canada, and Uragold) along the StSimon-les-Mine placer gold channel. By adding the 252 Beauce Placer Mining Company overburden drill holes, it will result in 349 holes of overburden drilling for an unprecedented overview of the placer channel. The company has commenced tabulation of the results and will compare these to other data collected to determine any priorities for bedrock source drilling.

PROJECT: SAINT-SIMON-LES MINES - EXPLORATION WORK

During the months October to December 2020, the Company mechanically excavated 46 trenches and outcrops (mainly trenches) for approximate 400 meters along strike the placer channel on the southern side of the Gilbert river, up to the opposite side of the Poulin trenches. The trenches west of St-Gustave road are on land fully owned by the Company. Further trenching and outcrop sampling was also completed on private property to the East of St-Gustave road. The trenches exposed long vertical bands of fractured volcaniclastic bedrock, rusty quartz veins and black shales. The exposed rusty quartz veins are similar yet more abundant and wider than the gold bearing fractured quartz sampled from Poulin trench 10008, some 260 meters south west.

PROJECT: SAINT-SIMON-LES MINES - EXPLORATION WORK (continued)

Mechanized excavations of the overburden (Quaternary deposits and soils) exposed the bedrock before it plunges deeper into the historical placer gold channel. Geological mapping and structural study to the east and west of Rang St-Gustave road will provide a detailed study of the orientation of the folds, shear zones and rock fracturing. This data will be used to optimize the drilling program to come.

The exploration team collected:

  • 100 rock samples taken by channel cuts using a diamond saw (in the trenches)

  • 9 bulk samples of rocks taken from the trenches

  • 28 samples (bulk) of rock outcrops from the property

  • 4 bulk samples (composite samples) of approximately 100 lbs each (trenches Tr-2020-01, Tr2020 02, Tr-2020-05 and Tr-2020-51)

These samples were sent to the laboratories of INRS (Québec City) and subsequently to the laboratories of Actlabs (Ancaster, On). Results are pending. Bulk samples sent to ExploLab in Val d’Or, Quebec.

Analysis of the samples will provide a geochemical study to establish certain associations between gold, silver and metals indicative of mineralization like As, W, Sb, also known as tracer elements, and which were a feature of the gold mineralization found in the Poulin 10008 trench and to the historic placer gold deposit (see BGF press release of March 2, 2020).

The Company also had assumed the payment to a third party of a royalty of 1.5% of which, at the option of the company, 1% was redeemable for an amount of $1,000,000. On September 30,20202 the Company redeemed the 1.5% royalty from the holder thereof by means of the issuance of 700,000 common shares of its capital stock representing the redemption price of $108,500.

During the month of December 2019, the Company has dug fourteen trenches in the Poulin section. The trenches were dug and the exposed bedrock was cleaned with jets of water to remove the overburden. Nine of the trenches were channel sampled. Four of the trenches, 10008, 10009, 10015 and 10016 showed the presence of volcaniclastic bedrock heavly altered by injections of rusty quartz veins that were then channelled and bulk sampled. These trenches were subject to high resolution photogrammetric imagery and detailed geological and structural mapping. The veined area is 2.5 to 3 m thick and has been observed in trenches 10008, 10009 and 10016. Trenches 10008 and 10009 have shown the presence of faulted contact between volcaniclastic rocks (north) and sedimentary rocks (south). The structural discontinuity corresponds to a brittle (fragile) type fault associated with a non-cohesive cataclasite (gouged zone) rich in small fragments of quartz. This laminated 35 cm thick structure, dips to the south and follows a NE-SW direction.The observation of this structure in the trenches seems to confirm the presence of a major fault. Moreover, a 2 kg subsample from a 146.6 kg bulk sample taken from Poulin trench 10008 contained 0.55 mg (0.275 g/t) of visible gold particles. The particles were extracted from volcaniclastic rocks that were heavily injected with rusty quartz veins.

PROJECT: SAINT-SIMON-LES MINES - EXPLORATION WORK (continued)

Under the supervision of Dr. Marc Richer-LaFlèche, Ph.D. Géo from INRS, the three Fault zone gold particles from Poulin trench 10008 and eighteen of the 2011 Sonic Drilled gold grains were sent to INRS and analyzed using a Zeiss EVO® 50 smart SEM (SEM) scanning electron microscope coupled to an Oxford Instruments elementary microanalysis system by X-ray energy dispersion spectrometry (EDS). For the Poulin trench gold particles, 41 of the 62 random sequenced analysis over the scanned particles revealed a silver content that ranged between 2.71% Ag to 8.14% Ag with an average reading of 6.03% Ag.

For comparative analysis, the morphology of the auriferous basal till and saprolite gold grains were separated into groups of proximal angular vs distal rounded shapes. It was observed that relatively angular nuggets (example A, B and C) contain an average Au-Ag mixture of 6.80% Ag (Silver) (25 random sequenced analysis ranging 1.26% to 21.30% Ag) which is similar to the gold observe in Trench-10008. Some nuggets have internal cavities filled with iron oxides (goethite-hematite) probably reflecting the saprolitisation (weathering) of bedrock and of little or no hydraulic transportation. The second group of nuggets (example C, D and E) were rounded by hydraulic transport, and do not contain silver (only gold). It is likely that these nuggets of almost pure gold were affected by geochemical or biogeochemical process involving preferential leaching of silver. Note that in the St-Simon-les-Mines area, the presence of saprolitized rocks is a local geological characteristic essentially observed in the sector of the Beauce placer near the Gilbert river (including rocks from the 10008 trench and 8000 outcrop). Such weathered rocks are not preserved elsewhere in the study area. The presence of gold nuggets showing internal weathering embayments rich in iron oxides is another evidence suggesting a local provenance of gold.

Highlights include

  • Trench 10008: 145.60 kg of loose rock samples. 3 visible gold particles with a total weight

  • of 0.55mg (0.275 g/t). Slight gold anomaly of 18 to 27 ppb on 16 samples with an average of 21.50 ppb. 563 ppb including gold particles. Exposed geological fault.

  • Trench 10009: 130.10 kg of bulk sampled rocks. No visible gold. Slight gold anomaly of 13 to 32 ppb on 16 samples with an average of 22 ppb. Exposed geological fault.

  • Trench 10016: discovery of a 19th century placer gold mining shafts. Bulk sampling. Material to be analyzed.

  • Trench 10015: Bulk and channel sampled. Material to be analyzed.

  • Channel samples from all other trenches returned no gold values.

During the month of December 2019, the Company has completed three additional geoelectric induced polarization (IP) survey lines conducted in the western section (Rang Delery). The IP lines paralleled two previously completed IP lines that identified a southwesterly extension of the major fault that strikes through the property. The extended IPs will allow the Company to potentially identify hidden zones of mineralized rock outcrops buried under glacial till overburden that can be excavated for channel sampling.

PROJECT: SAINT-SIMON-LES MINES - EXPLORATION WORK (continued)

The trenches also validated an electrical resistivity and high resolution induced polarization survey also conducted by Dr Richer-LaFlèche of INRS in 2014. The excavated trenches and stripping corroborated the results of the 2014 geophysical survey. Induced polarization anomalies correspond to volcanoclastites finely mineralized in pyrite and sometimes to black pyritic shales. Excavation of Trench 10008 shows the presence of faulted contact between volcaniclastic (south) and sedimentary (north) rocks. The faulted contact corresponds to a 35 cm thick zone of non-cohesive materials rich in quartz fragments. The volcaniclastic rocks, present south of the fault, are highly fractured. This structure, dipping to the south, could correspond to the fault detected by the AMT survey of 2017. On the edge of the fault, the volcanoclasites are extremely altered by the injection of veins of quartziron carbonates associated with a variable proportion of sulphides. The zone of quartz-carbonate veins has a thickness of 2.5 to 3m. This zone, observed in trenches 10008 and 10009, is located approximately 30m from the Gilbert River and at the northern limit of past placer gold mines.

During the month of October 2019, The geoelectric tomography survey demonstrates the presence of distinct lithological blocks located on both sides of the Gilbert River. North of the river, the rocks are systematically more resistive. This observation implies the presence of contact between units of sedimentary rocks in the south (St-Victor Formation), which shows relatively few induced plolarization anomalies, and volcaniclastic dominant units (Beauceville Formation) in the north of the Gilbert River. The latter being characterized by strong anomalies of electrical chargeability. As observed in the field, volcaniclastic units are affected by brittle deformation frequently associated with the injection of quartz veins and carbonates. In contrast, these structures are infrequent in the shale-rich units of the St-Victor Formation.

The faulted contact between the St-Victor and Beauceville Formations is further indicated by the magnetic and gravity contrasts observed in this sector. These contrasts of physical properties of the rock units can not be explained by a simple synclinal structure. As a result, the presence of a fault is highly likely in the Gilbert River area. Note that Line 2 passes near old gold mining wells of the 19th and 20th century. Remnants of these are still visible in the area of the anomaly located below the 600m station.

During the month of April 2019, the Company received the geophysical study aimed to verify the probable presence of a large fault located below the Beauce Placer gold placer zone and along the Gilbert River between St-Gustave road and the town of St-Simon-les-Mines. The primary objective of the geophysical survey is to identify potentially mineralized zones that could possibly be the hard rock source of the gold contained in the placers of St-Simon-les-Mines. Gravimetric data reveal the presence of a pit characterized by low values of gravity particularly evident on the map of vertical integration of Bouguer anomaly data.

During the month of March 2019, the Company conducted a high resolution mobile electromagnetic (TDEM) survey using a new Russian technology. This survey was completed on Rang St-Gustave Road. A new technology that measured electrical chargeability (induced polarization) and electrical conductivity at a horizontal resolution of 15cm. In addition, it allows a vertical penetration at depth to the order of 200m. The work is a continuation of the geophysics that has been carried out by HPQ Silicon in the sector since 2017.

PROJECT: RONCEVAUX

During December 2018, the company completed the agreement with HPQ-Silicon Resources Inc. ("HPQ") whereby HPQ granted the company the right to search and extract from its Roncevaux property base metals and other minerals other than quartz in consideration of a fee of 5%. % (NSR) and the issuance by the company of 100,000 common shares of its share capital at a price of $0.10 each for a consideration of $10,000. This NSR can be redeemed in part by the company by paying HPQ $100,000 for 0.1%, up to a limit of 4%.

The Roncevaux property is made-up of 36 map designated cells (“CDCs”) covering a total of 2,068 ha in 2 blocks. The main block covers some 33 CDCs for a total area 1,895.76 hectares and is host to the Roncevaux quartz vein occurrence. The second block consists of 3 CDCs covering 172.40 hectares some 2.2 km north of the main block. The property is located in the Matapedia region of Gaspé about 75 km south of Causapscal.

PROJECT: BARFORD

During fiscal 2020, the Company acquired 112 claims by staking (112 claims as of July 31, 2020).

PROJECT: ST-BERGEMIN

During fiscal year 2020, the Company acquired 8 claims by staking.

PROJECT: MÉGANTIC

During the periode, the Company acquired 127 claims by staking. The Mégantic property is limited to the southwest by the American border of New Hampshire and to the northeast by Lac Mégantic. The property extends for at least 30 km along the axis of the Bella Fault. It is divided into four areas: the Ditton, the Mining Brook, the Chesham and Bergeron rivers.

The Mégantic property is located at the foot of the granite intrusion of Mont Mégantic. It partly occupies the Compton Formation composed of graphitic and pelitic metasedimentary rocks of SiluroDevonian age. These sedimentary rocks are in discordant contact in the center of the terrain with the volcanic facies (basalts, andesites and dacites) of the Siluro-Devonian Formation of the Frontenac Formation. The Bella fault, which is the major structural element of the Mégantic property, is in contact between the Compton and Frontenac Formations. Observations at Mount Saddle suggest several intrusive phases that would be favourable to the establishment of gold mineralization.

In April 2021, the Company announced the results of it’s soil samplling progeam on the Bergeron River section of the Megantic property. Between October and December 2020, the Company collected eighty four 250g soil samples (B-horizon) for gold and silver plus base metals (Pb-Zn and Cu). 14 samples per line was collected following Noranda’s old exploration grid of six 100 metre lines (Numbered 27E to 34E). The objective was to confirm past anomalous values and to assay for new gold values (Noranda did not assay for gold). Samples were sent to Activation Labs for geochemical analysis.

Results showed a gold anomaly (+28 and +30 ppb Au) on 2 lines. This anomaly is open on both sides of the grid either SW of 27E and NE of 30E. We note that the anomaly follows along strike the Bella fault to the NW. Lines 33E and 34E showed significant anomalous zinc (33E 21 to 123 ppm Zn averaging 66 ppm, 34E 14 to 121 ppm Zn averaging 58 ppm) The Company intends to expand the soil geochemistry surveys later in the summer.

PROJECT: MÉGANTIC (continued)

Also 1n April 2021, the Company announced the results of it’s overburden sampling program which revealed interesting gold grades came from the Mégantic region. Several anomalous samples are located near the Bella fault which crosses the Ditton, Chartierville, Chesam and the Bergeron River sectors of the Megantic property.

Table shows the best gold results for the concentrates and for gold grains

No Sample Area Sector Au ppb
Concentrate
Au Grains Grams/Ton
798526 Mégantic Mining Brook 1060 1.06
798541 Mégantic Chesham 178 0.2grams +10.00

Sample 798541 was collected about 200m west of the Chesham River, south-east of Mont Mégantic. The sample was taken from the surface (-30cm) of a sand pit and is represented by fine, oxidized sands. The grains of gold observed in the concentrate are numerous and angular. The weight of gold in this 20kg bulk sample gave 0.2grams. The balance of the heavy mineral concentrate returned 178 ppb Au. The gold content is established at 10 grams per tonne of sand or approximately 0.55 cubic meters. Surface gravel in the Chesham River area is reported (GM 48717) to contain flake gold. The deeper gravels contain numerous nuggets up to several grams in mass. The gold grains have very accentuated roughness indicating short traveled distance. It is assumed that the source of the alluvial gold would be in the volcanic rocks of the Frontenac Formation.

Sample 798526 of the Mining Brook area was taken 3.2km southwest of Mining Brook returned the best gold value of all samples (1.06 g / t Au). The sample was taken from a large gravel pit which locally measures more than 10 meters thick.

An old churn drill hole (referred to as No. 7 in GM 42843) located less than 500 meters to the west of the gravel pit passed through significant gold values over an 8-meter thickness of gravel with several gold flakes. The hole No 7 and sample 798526 could correspond to large old river channel measuring over 1.6km long.

In addition, an old diamond drill hole S-2 located only a few hundred meters northwest of the sample 798526 may have crossed a large shear zone which would correspond to the Bella fault. According to the hole S-2 log, visible gold was observed at a depth of 240m in a very altered quartz vein and in this deformation corridor (GM 42843).

Mining Brook is the second-best known placer gold district south of the Beauce. This alluvial placer of post-glacial origin would be the result of the reconcentration of pre-glacial (or inter-glacial) gold deposits taken up by the last glaciation and dispersed over the entire region. The gold itself likely originated from gold mineralized quartz veins common in the region. According to Goodwin (1933), approximately 857.25 kg of gold were extracted by hand from the bed of the river between 1868 and 1883.

During the period, the Company acquired 15 claims by staking locaed near the town of Chertsey on the Lanuadiere region of quebec. Seven 20kg overburden samples were taken for analysis.

PROJECT: ST-ISIDORE

During the period, the Company acquired 35 claims by staking. Three 20kg overburden samples were taken for analysis.

In April 2021, the Company announced the results of it’s overburden sampling program. Sample 798550 was collected from a large gravel pit on the edge of the Canada-US border and confirmed the presence of gold in overburden. Historical results show gold is present in multiple locations. Two old heavy mineral concentrate samples that cut large deposits of sand and gravel in the Saint-Isidore region returned 1.4 g/t Au and 2.8g/t Au (Maurice DP 1332).

PROJECT: POZER RIVER

During the period, the Company acquired 4 claims by staking A 20kg overburden samples were taken for analysis.

In April 2021, the Company announced the results of it’s overburden sampling program . Sample 798511 was taken from a large operating gravel pit. near the Pozer River. The gravel carried by the river was trapped in one of the bends of the river. This topographic obstacle favors the accumulation of gold in the deposits of the river.

PROJECT: LAC ETCHEMIN

During the period, the Company acquired 2 claims by staking. A 20kg overburden samples were taken for analysis. The major Brompton-Baie-Verte fault crosses the property which is known to harbor gold mineralization and is interpreted to extend to Newfoundland.. A source of gold could be related to this important structure.

PROJECT: LAC ETCHEMIN (continued)

In April 2021, the Company announced the results of it’s overburden sampling program. Sample 798516 gave the second highest gold grade (432 ppb Au) from the 2020 survey. The sample was collected from a huge operating gravel pit, found in older Quaternary deposits which could correspond to pre-glacial sediments similar to those found at Saint-Simon-les-Mines. The major Brompton-Baie-Verte fault crosses the property and is known to host gold mineralization and is interpreted to extend to Newfoundland. The source of gold could be related to this important structure.

PROJECT: AUDET

During the period, the Company acquired 14 claims by staking. Two 20kg overburden samples were taken for analysis.

In April 2021, the Company announced the results of it’s overburden sampling program which. Samples 798584 and 798586 of the Audet block returned anomalous values in gold. Sample 798584 contains visible and very delicate gold. The recognition of this sector was initiated by the results of geochemical survey conducted by the Geological Survey of Canada (“GSC”) in 1984. A sample of heavy minerals from the creek gravels contained visible gold grains the size of a pinhead (+ 850mm). The GSC survey had collected more than 700 samples, but only 3 contained coarse gold, including one from the Gilbert River. The presence of angular gold suggests a probably local source in Audet area. Pyrite has also been noticed in the sample 798586 with angular edges which suggests a local source. Follow – up analysis of the gold content in pyrite could lead us to find the source of the gold locally.

The Frontenac Showing is in the volcanics of the Frontenac Formation. It crosses the property of Audet and contain showings of copper and gold associated with iron formations. The Frontenac Showing contains anomalous gold values found in quartz veins closely related to iron formations, with one grab sample returned 1.56% Cu, 758 ppb Au, 1.6 g / t Ag (GM 55294). The Frontenac volcanics are cut by shear zone structure which may have been a conduit for mineralizing fluids.

PROJECT: OTHERS

During the period, the Company acquired 64 claims by staking 41 gravel pits distributed between Beauce and Estrie. 51 overburden samples of about 20kg each were taken from these gravel pits .

19

RISK FACTORS

Inherent risks in mineral exploration and evaluation

The Corporation’s activities consist in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties with the hope of discovering mining sites with economic potential. The Corporation’s properties are currently at the exploration stage and do not hold any known commercial deposit. It is very unlikely that the Corporation will realize any short or mid-term benefits from these properties. Any future profitability of the Corporation’s operations is conditional on the discovery of an economic ore body. In addition, if such a case would arise, nothing guarantees that such an ore body could be put into profitable commercial production.

Regulations and commitments

The Corporation’s activities require that it obtains permits from various governmental authorities and are regulated by laws and regulations on the exploration, development, extraction, production, exports, income tax, environmental regulations, social acceptability, labor regulations and workplace safety as well as environmental issues and other topics.

Additional costs and delays could be caused by the need to comply with laws and regulations. If the Corporation cannot obtain or renew its permits or approvals, it could be forced to reduce or cease its Exploration Evaluation and Development activities .

Property Access

The Corporation regularly initiates exploration work on privately owned land. Signed agreements with property owners are required for property access. Difficulties in obtaining agreements can delay or impede exploration activities the effect of these factors cannot be precisely determined.

Financing needs

The exploration, evaluation, development, extraction and production from the Corporation’s properties will necessitate very substantial additional financial resources. The only sources of funds available are through the issuance of share capital and borrowing. There is no assurance that such financings will be available, neither would they be available at favorable conditions or will respond sufficiently to the project’s needs. This could have a negative effect on the Corporation’s business and financial situation. The impossibility of obtaining a sufficient financing could delay, or postpone indefinitely exploration evaluation or production activities on one or all the Corporation’s properties, and even see the Corporation lose its participation in some or all of its properties.

Metal prices

The Corporation’s share price, its financial results as well as its exploration and evaluation, production and development activities have been affected in the past and could very well be very negatively affected in the future by a fall in the price of precious and base metals.

20

RISK FACTORS (continued)

Non insured risks

The Corporation’s activities are subject to certain risks and dangers, including difficult environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labor conflicts, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, landslides, rock falls and other natural phenomenon such as unfavorable meteorological conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such events could result in bodily injuries or death, environmental damages or other damages to the properties or the production facilities or to the properties of other corporations, delays in mining production, monetary losses, and possibly legal liabilities .

Corporate permanence

The Corporation’s future depends on its ability to finance its activities and to develop its assets. The failure to obtain sufficient financing could create a situation where it could not continue its activities, realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business within a foreseeable future .
