Management Discussion and Analysis

For the Year ended July 31, 2020

INTRODUCTION

This management discussion and analysis (MD&A), prepared as at November 17, 2020, contains information as at July 31, 2020 and should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements for the year ended July 31, 2020 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 Audited Financial Statements are presented in compliance with the International Financial Information Standards (IFRS). All amounts are in Canadian dollars.

The Financial Statements of July 31, 2020, were audited by the Corporation`s Auditors Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton.

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.

Beauce Gold Fields Inc. was incorporated on August 1, 2016, under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Corporation`s shares are part of the Emerging Corporation category and are publicly traded on the TSX-Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol:”BGF”. It is a reporting issuer under the securities laws of the provinces of Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia. Beauce Gold Fields’s Head Office is located at 3000, Omer-Lavallée Street, Suite 306, Montréal, Québec, Canada, H2Y 1R8.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS

PROJECT: SAINT-SIMON-LES MINES

During the month october 2020, 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. More trenching and outcrop sampling is to continue into the season 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 will also be completed on private property to the East of St-Gustave road.

Bedrock will be washed clean to remove any potential placer gold contaminants. Channeled samples will be cut and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The data generated by the trenching and sampling campaign will help in the orientation of future diamond drill campaigns.

The excavated trenches are close to the six-kilometer long placer channel consisting of unconsolidated gold-bearing auriferous units of a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite (basal till). Therefore, if any of the trenches expose orange basal till, it will be sampled separately for placer gold content.

PROJECT: SAINT-SIMON-LES MINES (continued)

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. The 1.5% royalty will be redeemed by the Company 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.

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.

PROJECT: SAINT-SIMON-LES MINES (continued)

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.

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.

PROJECT: SAINT-SIMON-LES MINES (continued)

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.

The fault, suggested from the St-Gustave audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) survey, appears to be the same along the northern limit gravity pit and magnetic trough. This relationship between a local gravimetric and magnetic trough and a geolectric discontinuity (AMT survey) is consistent with the presence of a fault in this area. This fault could explain the presence of gold in this part of the Gilbert River watershed. Moreover, in the context of the transfer of hydrothermal gold fluids into the crustal rocks of the region, it is likely that the higher permeability of volcaniclastic rocks has favored the emplacement of gold mineralization mainly located on the north side of the suspected fault. This could explain the predominance of auriferous veins in the volcaniclasticite units of the Beauceville Formation and the rarity of these veins in the less permeable (shale-rich) rocks of the St-Victor Formation.

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.

During the month of December 2018, the Company completed the agreements concluded with its parent company HPQ-Silicon Resources Inc. ("HPQ") 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 region in which the Saint-Simon-les-Mines project is located hosts 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 the seller, such as textural observations (angularity) of gold nuggets, suggest 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.

PROJECT: WARES

During December 2018, the Company completed the agreement intervened with its parent company HPQ-Silicon Resources Inc. ("HPQ") for the acquisition of 42 claims. In payment for the price thereof, the Company issued 50,000 common shares for a total value of $ 5,000.

During the year, the Company wrote off this property following the abandonment of mining claims .

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 (40 claims as of July 31, 2019).

PROJECT: ST-BERGEMIN

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

The other non-cash element that has no influence on cash flow is the Interest on note payable of $20,879 the Change in fair value of royalties payable of $31,443, Salaries and employee benefits expense of $146,040 and the Write-off of exploration and evaluation assets of $5,000. The source of cash flow for operational working capital represents an amount of $42,009 which comes from: decrease in HST receivables of $9,060, the decrease of the prepaid expenses of $729, decrease of the royalties payable of $10,000 and as the increase in trade and other payables of $42,220.

The cash flow used for investing activities during the period is $138,186 for exploration and evaluation assets.

The cash flow from financing activities of $620,344 includes a private placement through the issuance of common share units and flow-through share units for a value of $636,750. There were share unit issuance costs of $16,406. The Corporation increased its cash flow by $57,778 during the period .

The Corporation average quarterly cash requirements should vary between $125,000 and $150,000 according to each period’s activities excluding exploration and evaluation costs.

As long as the Corporation is in an exploration and evaluation mode, it will not generate cash flow from its operations. The Corporation’s ability to satisfy its current obligations and continue its development is fully dependent on Management’s ability to raise the needed funds through private placements and other financing programs through the issuance of share capital .

Management is of the opinion that as long as important negative events do not occur on the financial markets, during the next year, the Corporation should be able to complete the needed placements and financings to advance its various projects.

In conclusion, the financial statements do not reflect the needed adjustments that would need to be made in the event it could not rise the funding to continue its activities. Investors are hereby advised that if such changes are needed they could be material.

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.

14

RISK FACTORS (continued)

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.

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 .
