Under the terms of the LOI, the Company will earn its undivided 20% interest in the Property upon paying to Tristar cash payments totaling $1,500,000 and issuing 8,000,000 common shares of the Company.

In conjunction with this transaction, the Company will conduct a private placement to raise $2,000,000 by the offering of 13,333,333 units at a price of $0.15 per unit where each unit shall comprise one common share with a half-warrant where one whole share purchase warrant shall be exercisable at $0.30 per common share for two years from issuance.

Cameo Resources Inc.
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three months ended November 30, 2024
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company will continue to require funds for exploration work on the Nevada claims, USA, as well as to meet its ongoing day-to-day operating expenses and will continue to rely on equity financing during such period. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to the on terms satisfactory to the Company. The Company does not have any other commitments for material capital expenditures over the near and long term other than as disclosed above plus normal operating expenses.
Since incorporation, the Company’s capital resources have been limited. The Company relies upon the issuance of equity securities to acquire interest in mineral properties acquisition payments, for exploration expenditures and to pay operating expenses.
As at November 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $32,953 (2023 - $31,956).
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due or can do so only at excessive cost. The Company has significant financial liabilities outstanding including accounts payable and due to related parties. The Company is exposed to the risk that it may not have sufficient liquid assets to meet its commitments associated with these financial liabilities.
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. To the extent that the Company does not believe it has sufficient liquidity to meet these obligations, management will consider securing additional funds through equity transactions. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring cash flow requirements relating to its anticipated exploration and evaluation activities as well as general overhead requirements. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash balances. The Company manages its credit risk on bank deposits by holding deposits in high credit quality banking institutions in Canada.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As the Company does not have any cash or variable interest loans, management considers the interest rate risk to be minimal.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. All of the Company’s financial instruments are denominated in Canadian dollars. In management’s opinion there is no material foreign exchange risk to the Company.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements to which the Company is committed.
Transactions with Related Parties
During the three-month period ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company was involved in the following related party transactions:

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three months ended November 30, 2024
Risks and Uncertainties
The common shares should be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business and the present stage of its development. In evaluating the Company and its business, investors should carefully consider, in addition to the other information contained in the MD&A, the following risk factors. These risk factors are not a definitive list of all risk factors associated with an investment in the Company or in connection with the Company’s operations. There may be other risks and uncertainties that are not known to the Company or that the Company currently believes are not material, but which also may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results or prospects. In that case, the trading price of the Company’s common shares could decline substantially, and investors may lose all or part of the value of the common shares held by them.
An investment in securities of the Company should only be made by persons who can afford a significant or total loss of their investment. There is currently no market through which these securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell securities purchased.
No Ongoing Operations and No Production History
The Company is a mineral exploration company and has no operations or revenue.
Limited Operating History
The Company has no history of earnings. There are no known commercial quantities of mineral reserves on the Company’s Property. There is no assurance that the Company will ever discover any economic quantities of mineral reserves.
Negative Operating Cash Flow
Since inception, the Company has had negative operating cash flow. The Company has incurred losses since its founding. The losses and negative operating cash flow are expected to continue for the foreseeable future as funds are expended on the exploration program on the Property and administrative costs. The Company cannot predict when it will reach positive operating cash flow.
Requirement for Further Financing
The Company has limited financial resources and may need to raise additional funds to carry out exploration of its property. There is no assurance the Company will be able to raise additional funds or will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company's exploration programs are successful and favourable exploration results are obtained, the Property may be developed into commercial production. The Company may require additional funds to place the Property into production. The only sources of future funds presently available to the Company are the sale of equity capital, debt, or offering of interests in its property to be earned by another party or parties by carrying out development work.
There is no assurance that any such funds will be available to the Company or be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If funds are available, there is no assurance that such funds will be sufficient to bring the Company's Property to commercial production. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company, and could cause the Company to forfeit its interest in its Property and reduce or terminate its operations. There is no assurance the Company will be able to raise additional funds.
Cameo Resources Inc.
Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three months ended November 30, 2024
Exploration
At present, there are no bodies of ore, known or inferred, on the Property and there are no known bodies of commercially recoverable ore on the Property. There is no assurance that the Company’s mineral exploration activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore on the Property.
Development
The business of exploration for precious metals involves a high degree of risk. Few exploration properties are ultimately developed into producing properties. The Company’s Property is at the exploration stage.
Title to Properties
Acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process. Title to, and the area of, mineral properties may be disputed. Although the Company has investigated its title to the Property for which it holds an option to acquire concessions or other mineral leases or licenses and the Company is satisfied with its review of the tile to the Property, the Company cannot give an assurance that title to the Property will not be challenged or impugned. Mineral properties sometimes contain claims or transfer histories that examiners cannot verify, and transfers under foreign law often are complex. The Company does not carry title insurance on the Property. A successful claim that the Company does not have title could cause the Company to lose its rights to the Property, perhaps without compensation for its prior expenditures relating to the Property.
Surface Rights
The Company does not own the surface rights to the Property. The Company understands that it is necessary, as a practical matter, to negotiate surface access, and the Company is continuing to do so. However, there is a risk that local communities or affected groups may take actions to delay, impede or otherwise terminate the contemplated activities of the Company. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with any such existing landowners/occupiers for such access, and therefore it may be unable to carry out significant exploration and development activities. In addition, in circumstances where such access is denied, or no agreement can be reached, the Company may need to rely on the assistance of local officials or the courts in such jurisdiction, which assistance may not be provided or, if provided, may not be effective. If the development of a mine on the Property becomes justifiable it will be necessary to acquire surface rights for mining, plant, tailings and mine waste disposal. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in acquiring any such rights.
Management
The success of the Company is largely dependent upon the performance of its management. The loss of the services of these persons may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects. There is no assurance that the Company can maintain the service of its management or other qualified personnel required to operate its business.
Requirement for Permits and Licenses
The Company will be applying for all necessary licenses and permits under applicable laws and regulations to carry on the exploration activities which it is currently planning in respect of the Property, and the Company believes it will comply in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, such licenses and permits are subject to changes in regulations and in various operational circumstances. A substantial number of additional permits and licenses will be required should the Company proceed beyond exploration. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three months ended November 30, 2024
such licenses and permits.
Environmental Risks and other Regulatory Requirements
The current or future operations of the Company, including the exploration activities and commencement of production on the Property, will require permits from various federal and local governmental authorities, and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing exploration, development, production, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, site safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that all permits which the Company may require for its facilities and conduct of exploration and development operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations would not have a material adverse effect on any exploration and development project which the Company might undertake.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in exploration and development operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the exploration and development activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed upon them for violation of applicable laws or regulations.
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing the operations and activities of mineral companies, or more stringent enforcement thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditure or exploration and development costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new properties.
Uninsurable Risks
Exploration of mineral properties involves numerous risks, including unexpected or unusual geological conditions, rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences, and political and social instability. It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company. The Company does not maintain insurance against environmental risks.
Competition
Significant and increasing competition exists for mineral opportunities in Nevada, USA. There are a number of large established mineral exploration companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company. The Company may be unable to acquire additional mineral properties or acquire such properties on terms it considers acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's exploration programs will yield any reserves or result in any commercial mineral operations.
Economic Conditions
Unfavorable economic conditions may negatively impact the Company’s financial viability as a result of increased financing costs and limited access to capital markets.

Conflicts of Interest
Directors of the Company may, from time to time, serve as directors of, or participate in ventures with other companies involved in natural resource development. As a result, there may be situations that involve a conflict of interest for such directors. Each director will attempt not only to avoid dealing with such other companies in situations where conflicts might arise but will also disclose all such conflicts in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and will govern themselves in respect thereof to the best of their ability in accordance with the obligations imposed upon them by law.
Litigation
The Company and/or its directors may be subject to a variety of civil or other legal proceedings, with or without merit. The Company does not know of any such pending or actual material legal proceedings as of the date of the Prospectus.
No Cash Dividends
The Company has not declared any cash dividends to date. The Company intends to retain any future earnings to finance its business operations and any future growth. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate declaring any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Ore Reserves and Reserve Estimates
The Company’s business relies upon the ability to determine whether a given property has commercial quantities of recoverable minerals. No assurance can be given that any discovered mineral reserves and resources will be recovered or that they will be recovered at the rates estimated. Mineral reserve and resource estimates are based on limited sampling and, consequently, are uncertain because the samples may not be representative. Mineral reserve and resource estimates may require revision (either up or down) based on actual production experience.
Proposed Transactions
There are no proposed transactions that have not been disclosed herein.
Contingencies
There are no contingent liabilities.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The Company records its interests in exploration and evaluation assets and areas of geological interest at cost. All direct and indirect costs relating to the acquisition of these interests are capitalized on the basis of specific claim blocks or areas of geological interest until the assets to which they relate are placed into production, sold or management has determined there to be impairment. These costs will be amortized on the basis of units produced in relation to the proven reserves available on the related property following commencement of production.
The recorded cost of exploration and evaluation asset interests is based on cash paid, the assigned value of share considerations issued for exploration and evaluations and exploration and development costs incurred. The recorded amount may not reflect recoverable value as this will be dependent on the development program, the nature of the mineral deposit, commodity prices, adequate funding and the ability of the Company to bring its projects into production.
