Overview
The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of resource properties with a current focus on gold properties located in Nevada, United States. To date, the Company has entered into an option to acquire a mineral property located in White Pine County, Nevada, referred to as the Antelope Project. The Company's current principal objectives are to explore and develop the Antelope Project, and to identify other properties worthy of investment and exploration.
The Antelope Project is a gold exploration project consisting of BLM lode-type claims located in White Pine County, Nevada. The Company intends to explore the Antelope Property through a drill program to test for mineralization down dip and at depth.
The Company is listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange ("CSE") under the trading symbol "BURY".
OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a junior exploration company and, as such, its net losses are largely driven by its exploration activities and there is no expectation of generating operating profits until it identifies and develops a commercially viable mineral deposit.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company earned $2,644 in interest from the cash on hand as compared to $3,995 in 2025. The decrease in interest earned was a result of lower interest rates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had $599,694 in cash and cash equivalents as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $622,636) and had working capital of $601,3271 (December 31, 2025 - $607,358). The source of the Company's capital has been the issuance of Common Shares for cash. As at March 31, 2026, apart from the Antelope Option Agreement, the Company had no contractual obligations outstanding.
The Company will continue to require additional funding to maintain its ongoing exploration and development programs, property maintenance payments and operations. Its principal source of funds is the issuance of Common Shares. The price of its Common Shares is susceptible to factors beyond management's control including, but not limited to, fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates and changes in the general market outlook. Should the Company require funds during a time when the price of its Common Shares is depressed, the Company may be required to accept significant dilution to maintain enough liquidity to continue operations or may be unable to raise sufficient capital to meet its obligations.
Operating Activities
The main components of cash flows used for operating activities are discussed in the Results of Operations section.

Mineral exploration and development is typically a seasonal business, and accordingly, the Company's administrative expenses and cash requirements will fluctuate depending upon the season. The Company's primary source of funding is through the issuance of Common Shares. When capital markets are depressed, the Company's activity level normally declines accordingly. As capital markets strengthen and the Company is able to secure equity financing on favourable terms, the Company's activity levels and the size and scope of planned exploration and development programs will also increase.
The Company expects its general administrative and exploration expenses to increase in future quarters as it continues its exploration work program at the Antelope Project and reviews other projects of merit.

Credit risk

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with a high-quality financial institution. Cash equivalents consists of a short-term investment certificate with a high-quality financial institution earning interest at 1.80% per year. The Company's sales tax receivable consists of input tax credit refunds from the federal government and as such, the Company believes the risk to be minimal.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION AND STATEMENTS
This MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements concerning anticipated developments in Burrell's operations in future periods. Statements that are not historical fact are forward looking information as that term is defined in National Instrument 51-102 ("NI 51-102") of the Canadian Securities Administrators. Certain forward looking information should also be considered future-oriented financial information ("FOFI") as that term is defined in NI 51-102. The purpose of disclosing FOFI is to provide a general overview of management's expectations regarding the anticipated results of operations and capital expenditures. Forward-looking statements and information (referred to herein together as "Forward-Looking Statements") are frequently, but not always, identified by words such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "potential", "possible" and similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions or results "will", "may", "could" or "should" occur or be achieved. The material factors or assumptions used to develop forward-looking statements include prevailing and projected market prices and foreign exchange rates, exploitation and exploration estimates and results, continued availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business conditions and as more specifically disclosed throughout this document. Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of Burrell may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors.
The Company's Forward-Looking Statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and the Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's beliefs, expectations or opinions should change except as required by law. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include, but are not limited to, uncertainties involved in fluctuations in gold and other commodity prices and currency exchange rates; uncertainties relating to interpretation of drill results and geology, continuity and grade of mineral deposits; uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs, recovery rates, production estimates and estimated economic return; the need for cooperation of government agencies in the exploration and development of properties and the issuance of required permits; the need to obtain additional financing to develop properties and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing; the possibility of delay in exploration or development programs or in construction projects and uncertainty of meeting anticipated program milestones; and uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other governmental approvals.
