3. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

Ulu Gold Property

The Ulu Property is located approximately 525 km NNE of Yellowknife, NT in the Kitikmeot region of western Nunavut. Kugluktuk is approximately 210 km to the NW. The Ulu Property consists of a renewable 21-year Mining Lease (No: 3563) with an expiry date of November 18, 2038 and covers an area of approximately 947 ha.

The lease hosts an advanced gold project that between 1989 and 2012 saw significant exploration and development by BHP Minerals and Echo Bay Mines, among others. The past work includes approximately 1.7 km of underground development and over 400 diamond drill holes that produced approximately 100,000 m of core (Ulu and Hood River Properties).

Supplementing the high-grade gold resources, the Ulu project includes a substantial inventory of capital equipment, a Weatherhaven camp with shop and a 1,200 metre long airstrip. The site of the future deep-water port at Grays Bay is 100 km to the north of the properties, and the proposed route corridor for the all-weather Grays Bay road passes in close proximity to the Ulu Property.

The Ulu Property mineral resource, as reported on April 14, 2015, was estimated by independent consultants, and is reported in the table below. The Flood zone contains the bulk of the Ulu gold resource and is open on-strike and at depth. The deepest drill intersection of potentially mineable width is 14.9 g/t Au over 7.7 m in BHP's drill hole 90VD-75, at 610 m below surface. Metallurgical testing on the Flood zone gold mineralization has shown that gold is recoverable in amounts greater than 90% by gravity, flotation and cyanidation.

2020 Exploration Program Summary:

The Company completed a diamond drilling program at its Ulu and Hood River Properties in September 2020. The program entailed 7,624 metres of diamond drilling in thirty-eight diamond drill holes on the Properties. Ten holes were drilled at the Flood and Gnu zone deposits in an effort to; provide additional geologic information and confirm certain aspects of the geology models, to improve drill hole density and allow for possible upgrading of the resource category, and to expand the resource base. Twenty-eight holes were drilled to test exploration targets on both the Ulu and Hood River Properties, including fourteen in the North Fold Nose (NFN) zone. No resource estimates have been completed on zones on the Hood River Property, but it is anticipated that enough drill data will exist for the first resource estimate on the NFN zone.

Highlight gold composites from the 2020 exploration program are listed in the table below.

Hood River Property

The Hood River property is contiguous to the Ulu Property lease to the north, east and south. The property is held through a renewable, 20-year Mineral Exploration Agreement with Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated. The highly prospective property encompasses 8,015 ha. At least twentytwo known gold showings have been identified on the Property. The exploration target for the property is shear-hosted gold mineralization similar to the Flood zone on the adjacent Ulu Property lease.

A series of gold occurrences occur on-strike and north of the Flood zone and are thought to be related to the ~5 km long Ulu regional fold that extends from the Ulu Property lease onto the north Hood River property culminating at the North Fold Nose (NFN) zone. This structure extends from the Flood and Gnu gold zones along the Ulu fold to the north and hosts at least five gold zones in addition to the Flood and Gnu zones (NFN, INT, Bizen, Apex and Contact zones).

Several high-grade gold occurrences also occur on the east Hood River property, including the Crown and Penthouse zones, where gold trends with similarities to the Ulu fold trend may exist. In addition, many unnamed gold occurrences exist on the two properties, where further prospecting is required to advance the showings to target zones. The large number of high-grade gold showings

6 | P a g e

BLUE STAR GOLD CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Year Ended November 30, 2020

that occur throughout the properties provide for excellent resource expansion potential at multiple targets.

2019 Exploration Program Summary:

During 2019, the Company conducted a drilling and prospecting program on the Hood River Property. The diamond drilling focused on the NFN zone and consisted of eleven diamond drill holes for 1,540 metres. The prospecting and sampling program ran in parallel with the drilling, exploring and tracing a series of gold mineralized zones from the NFN south for 2.1 km to the claim boundary with the Ulu mining lease. This series of gold zones can be mapped along the Ulu fold an additional 2.9 km south within the Ulu property to the Gnu and Flood gold zones. This prospecting and sampling program produced 168 channel samples cut with diamond saws.

Sampling of the mineralized rocks found along the Ulu fold trend confirmed zones found by BHP in the 1990’s and resulted in the discovery of the INT gold zone. Within the INT, channel samples returned six high-grade results that included 25.20 g/t Au over 1.0m.

Significant results were obtained from the NFN zone drilling in holes HR-19-009 and 010 with hole 009 intersecting 5.89 g/t Au over 6.0 m (includes 32.5 g/t Au over 1m) while hole HR-19010 intersected 2.19 g/t Au over 1m.

Hood River Property Ownership History:

Pursuant to a letter of intent dated May 15, 2014, on February 26, 2018, the Company signed the final Transaction Agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) and NSR Royalty Agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Inukshuk Exploration Inc. (“Inukshuk”), with an effective date as of September 18, 2014. Inukshuk owns a 100% interest in the Hood River Property in Nunavut through a 20-year renewable mineral exploration agreement (“MEA”) dated June 1, 2013, issued by Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (“NTI”).

BLUE STAR GOLD CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Year Ended November 30, 2020

Year ended November 30, 2020

During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company had a comprehensive loss of $2,581,193, compared to a comprehensive loss of $1,388,837 in the prior year ended November 30, 2019. Significant comparative variances for the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 were:

Accretion and interest of $1,113,116 (2019 - $222,419); Amortization of $2,184 (2019 - $1,709); Amortization of ROU assets of $27,403 (2019 - $Nil); Directors fees of $100,000 (2019 - $Nil); Insurance of $47,118 (2019 - $34,501); Investor and shareholder relations of $265,291 (2019 - $259,770); Office services and miscellaneous of $63,385 (2019 - $24,980); Professional fees of $221,339 (2019 - $194,930); Project investigation of $Nil (2019 - $2,272); Regulatory and transfer agent fees of $25,264 (2019 - $25,250); Rent and administrative services of $54,477 (2019 - $65,076); Salaries of $749,473 (2019 - $331,399); Share-based compensation of $162,916 (2019 - $517,461); Travel and entertainment of $29,526 (2019 - $32,925); and Deferred income tax recovery of $280,299 (2019 - $323,855).

The deferred income tax recovery of $280,299 (2019 - $323,855) is to record the effect of a temporary difference between the book value of the loans and their tax value, which mainly resulted from the equity portion of the loans (bonus shares) of $2,435,542 received in December 2019 and the $4,100,000 convertible debenture issued in July 2020 (2019 - $3,000,000 convertible debenture issued in November 2019). Included in the interest expenses for the year ended November 30, 2020 is $59,678 of interest paid on a debt settlement.

Amortization of ROU assets of $27,403 (2019 - $Nil) is related to the new leased office starting October 1, 2020, which is a result of the Company’s adoption of a new IFRS 16 Lease in the year.

The Company started to pay directors’ fees on December 1, 2019. During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company paid or accrued $100,000 (2019 - $Nil) to five directors.

Investor and shareholder relations fees of $265,291 (2019 - $259,770) consist of expenses relating to activities promoting the Company and its activities. The Company retained consultants to assist with additional awareness campaigns during the year ended November 30, 2020.

Professional fees of $221,339 (2019 - $194,930) consist of expenses relating to the Company’s legal and corporate secretary fees and audit fees. During the current year ended November 30, 2020, the professional fees also included $53,500 (2019 - $Nil) for executive search and recruitment.

Salaries of $749,473 (2019 - $331,399) relate to fees accrued to officers and employees of the Company for management of the Company’s operations and projects. The increase is mainly due to an accrual of $168,000 (2019 - $Nil) to the former CEO as a severance package. The Company also hired additional staff due to increased exploration activities.

Share-based compensation of $162,916 (2019 - $517,461) is amortization of the fair value of 1,800,000 (2019 – 10,450,000) stock options granted during the year.

The deferred income tax of $273,150 in the three-month period ended November 30, 2020 is an adjustment of deferred income tax expenses recorded in previous quarters. In the three-month period ended November 30, 2019, the recovery of $323,855 is to record the effect of a temporary difference between the book value of the loans and their tax value, which mainly resulted from the equity portion of the $3,000,000 convertible debenture issued in November 2019.

7. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

As at November 30, 2020, the Company had $128,043 (November 30, 2019 - $94,725) in cash. The Company is at the exploration stage and does not have cash flow from operations; therefore, equity or debt financings have been the sole source of funds. At November 30, 2020, the Company had working capital deficiency of $2,083,112 (November 30, 2019 – deficiency of $1,005,653) and an accumulated deficit of $11,715,053 (November 30, 2019 - $9,133,860).

In the opinion of management, the working capital is insufficient to support the Company’s near term general administrative and corporate operating requirements on an on-going basis. In order to fund mineral property expenses and fund administrative costs, further financings will be required, and the Company is likely to raise such funds from the issuances of equity.

The Company completed the following debt financings during the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019:

Loans

On December 19, 2018, a loan agreement was entered into with a Director of the Company for $250,000. The whole amount was received in cash on December 31, 2018. The loan pays 7.5% simple interest per annum payable on or before the date of repayment of December 31, 2020. In consideration, the Director will receive 1,000,000 Bonus Shares priced at $0.05 each.

On March 10, 2019, the Director loaned another $250,000. The loan bears 7.5% simple interest per annum payable on or before the date of repayment of March 31, 2021. In consideration, the Director will receive 1,000,000 Bonus Shares priced at $0.05 each.

On May 7, 2019, the Director loaned another $250,000. The loan bears 7.5% simple interest per annum payable on or before the date of repayment of July 30, 2021. In consideration, the Director will receive 1,000,000 Bonus Shares priced at $0.05 each.

On June 19, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement for $250,000, which is due on July 30, 2021 and has a simple interest rate of 7% per annum.

A total of 1,000,000 bonus shares will be issued priced at $0.05 each.

On November 21, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Dr. Georg Pollert. The Loan principal amount is up to $2,435,542 (received on December 10, 2019).

In relation to the loan, the Company intends to issue up to 7,871,084 bonus shares to Dr. Georg Pollert which was approved by the TSX-V on November 26, 2019.

Convertible debentures – closed on November 26, 2019

On November 26, 2019, the TSX-V approved the closing of a non-brokered private placement of convertible debentures announced on July 29, 2019.

Each unit was priced at $1,000 and consisted of 20,000 non-secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and 20,000 non-transferable Common Share purchase warrants (“Warrants”). Each Debenture bears an annual simple interest rate of 7.5% over its term of up to 3 years (the "Term") and the interest is to be calculated and paid annually. During the first year of the Term, the conversion price will be $0.05 per share. During the second and third years of the Term, the conversion price will be $0.10 per share. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.075 per share during the Term.

The Company received the proceeds of $3,000,000 in August 2019 by issuing 3,000 units of convertible debentures. In November 2019, upon the approval of the TSX-V, the Company issued 60,000,000 warrants to the debenture holders. The Company paid finders' fees of $66,635, incurred legal and filing fees of $41,257, and has an obligation to pay 560,000 finders’ shares valued at $25,200 (issued in February 2020).

BLUE STAR GOLD CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Year Ended November 30, 2020

Company at a conversion price of $0.05 per share and $0.10 per share during the second and third years of the Term.

Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share at an exercise price of $0.075 per share until the expiry date of the Term.

The Company paid finder’s fee of $32,500 in cash and issued 650,000 finder’s shares deemed at $0.05 per share.

– Equity financing subsequent to the year end closed on December 17, 2020

The Company also issued 1,000,000 bonus shares in accordance with the loan that matured on December 29, 2019, while the remaining 2,000,000 bonus shares that are settled before the maturity date were not issued.

Liquidity Outlook

At present, the Company’s operations do not generate cash inflows and its cash position is highly dependent on the ability to raise cash through financings and the timing of expenditures on exploration programs. In order to finance the Company’s evaluation and exploration programs and to cover administrative and other expenses, the Company raises money through equity sales, from the exercise of convertible securities and from optioning its exploration and evaluation assets. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the resource market, the climate for mineral exploration investment, the Company’s track record, and the experience and calibre of its management. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of exploration activities.

Additional funds will be required to fulfil obligations under option agreements and cover general administrative and corporate operating requirements. Given volatility in equity markets, global uncertainty in economic conditions, cost pressures and results of exploration activities there can be no certainty equity funding will be available to the Company or if available funding will be on

15 | P a g e

BLUE STAR GOLD CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Year Ended November 30, 2020

acceptable terms. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required, but recognizes that there will be risks which may be beyond its control.

Capital Resources

The Company does not have sufficient capital at this time to fulfil its obligations under the current property agreements or to meet its administrative overhead expenses for the next twelve months and does not have any alternative funding arrangements in place. If the Company is unable to raise required capital it will not fulfil obligations under one or more of the property agreements or continue to operate at its current level of activity.

Going Concern

The Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Several material uncertainties may cast a significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to incur operating losses, has limited financial resources, no source of operating cash flow, and no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its exploration and evaluation asset projects. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to continue evaluating its mineral projects by the issuance of share capital or through joint ventures, and to realize future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of its exploration and evaluation assets. As at November 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $11,715, 053 and had working capital deficiency of $2,083,112. In the opinion of management, current the working capital is insufficient to support the Company’s general administrative and corporate operating requirements on an on-going basis for the next 12 months. Until additional funds are secured, the Company does not have resources to fund further exploration expenditures. Management plans to secure the necessary financing through the issuance of new equity instruments and/or entering into joint venture arrangements. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these actions.

If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for the Financial Statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets, liabilities, reported income and expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material to the Financial Statements.

8. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The amounts due to/from related parties are amounts due to the directors and officers. The balances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no specific terms for repayment. These transactions are in the normal course of operations and have been valued in these financial statements at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISKS

The Board, through the Audit Committee, is responsible for identifying the principal risks facing the Company and ensuring that appropriate risk management systems are developed and implemented. The Company manages its exposure to financial risks, including liquidity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk in accordance with its risk management framework.

Financial Instruments

Fair value measurement disclosure includes classification of financial instrument fair values in a hierarchy comprising three levels reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements, described as follows:

Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Valuations based on directly or indirectly observable inputs in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, other than Level 1 prices such as quoted interest or currency exchange rates; and

Level 3: Valuations based on significant inputs that are not derived from observable market data, such as discounted cash flow methodologies based on internal cash flow forecasts.

The Company’s financial instruments as at November 30, 2020 are as follows:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Financial assets at FVTPL
Cash $ 128,043 $ - $ -
Financial liabilities at amortized costs
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 670,637 $ - $ -
Due to related parties $ 445,162 $ - $ -
Lease liabilities $ - $ 305,869 $ -
Loans payable $ - $ 3,239,956 $ -

Related Risks

Liquidity Risk - Liquidity risk is the risk the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The Company attempts to manage liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances or through

19 | P a g e

BLUE STAR GOLD CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Year Ended November 30, 2020

additional financings to ensure there is sufficient capital to meet short term obligations. As at November 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $128,043 (November 30, 2019 – $94,725) to settle current liabilities of $2,831,893 (November 30, 2019 - $1,450,850). The Company’s current working capital is insufficient to support the Company’s near term general administrative and corporate operating requirements on an on-going basis.

Interest rate risk - The Company’s loans and convertible debentures all have fixed interest rate at 3% - 7.5% per annum with additional consideration of bonus shares.

Currency Risk - As at November 30, 2020 and 2019, all the Company’s cash was held in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and reporting currency.

Credit risk - Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash, as substantially all amounts are held at major financial institutions. The credit risk associated with cash is minimized by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with financial institutions with investment-grade ratings by a primary ratings agency.

Finance Risk - The Company has no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects when required. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity and debt securities or joint ventures, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Company’s properties.

10. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company’s business is the exploration and development of mineral properties. As a result, the Company’s operations are speculative. The Company has no history of profitable operations and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.

Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, receipt of adequate financing; correct interpretation of geological data; feasibility and other studies; the particular nature of the mineral deposit, such as size grade, metallurgy and physical structure; expected and real metal recoveries; proximity to infrastructure and labour; the cost of water and power; climactic conditions; metal prices; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and metal prices; timely granting of necessary permits; government regulations and taxes; and environmental protection and regulations. The effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted, but in combination these risk factors may adversely affect the Company’s business.

Furthermore, the Company may face additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company and its management or risks currently seen as immaterial may impair the Company’s business in the future.

Early Stage - Need for Additional Funds - The Company has no history of profitable operations and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders’ investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.

Location - The Company’s property interests are located in remote, undeveloped areas and the availability of infrastructure such as surface access, skilled labour, fuel and power at an economic cost, cannot be assured. These are integral requirements for exploration, development and production facilities on exploration and evaluation assets.

Exploration and Development Risks - Resource property acquisition, exploration, development, and operation are a highly speculative business that involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of precious metals and other minerals may result in substantial rewards, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to locate and establish economically viable mineral deposits, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the acquisition, exploration or development programs planned by the Company will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. The potential for any project to eventually become an economically viable operation depends on numerous factors including: the quantity and quality of the minerals discovered if any, the proximity to infrastructure, metal and mineral prices (which vary considerably over time) and government regulations. The exact effect these factors can have on any given exploration property cannot accurately be predicted but the effect can be materially adverse.

Environmental Risk - Current or future environmental laws and regulations may affect the operations of the Company. These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality. They provide for penalties and other liabilities for the violation of such standards and establish, in certain circumstances, obligations to rehabilitate current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. Furthermore, the permission to operate could be withdrawn temporarily where there is evidence of serious breaches of health and safety, or even permanently in the case of extreme breaches. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges into the environment, environmental damages caused by previous owners of acquired properties or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. The Company intends to minimize these risks by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and operating to international environmental standards.

BLUE STAR GOLD CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Year Ended November 30, 2020

Commodity Prices - The market price of precious metals and other minerals is volatile and cannot be controlled.

Conflicts - The Company’s directors and officers serve as directors or officers, or may be associated with other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other public companies. To the extent that such other companies may participate in business or asset acquisitions, dispositions, or ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors and officers of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the transaction.

Dependence on Key Personnel - The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management's services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company.

Competition - The mineral industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with many other mineral exploration companies who have greater financial resources and technical capacity.

Political Risk - The Company’s operations and investments may be affected by local political and economic developments including: expropriation; nationalization; invalidation of governmental orders; permits or agreements pertaining to property rights; failure to enforce existing laws; failure to uphold property rights; political unrest; labour disputes; inability to obtain or delays in obtaining necessary mining permits; opposition to mining from local, environmental or other nongovernmental organizations; government participation; royalties, duties, rates of exchange, high rates of inflation, price controls, exchange controls, currency fluctuations; taxation and changes in laws, regulations or policies; as well as by laws and policies of Canada affecting foreign trade, investment and taxation.

Impact of COVID-19 - the Company’s business is focused on exploring mineral properties in Nunavut. Management doesn’t believe that COVID-19 will have a strong impact on the Company’s financial results. Access to the properties might be delayed because of COVID-19 in the future, and as a result, the Company may delay certain aspects of its exploration and remediation work plans accordingly.
