DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated on March 11, 2005, in the Province of British Columbia as 0718918 B.C. Ltd. The Company changed its name to Centurion Minerals Ltd. on November 28, 2005.
The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, having the symbol CTN as a Tier 2 mining issuer. The Company is in the business of mineral exploration and development, with its primary asset being the Casa Berardi West Project, comprised of 3 non-contiguous claim groups (Noseworthy, Newman and Hepburn) comprising a total of 5,100 hectares (the "Casa Berardi West Property"), located northeast of Cochrane, Ontario, in the Harricana-Turgeon greenstone belt of the central Abitibi Subprovince of northeastern Ontario. As at the date of this MD&A, the Casa Berardi West Property acquisition has been conditionally accepted by the Exchange, however, it remains subject to final approval.
The Casa Berardi West option agreement was amended February 12, 2024, expanding the Casa Berardi West Property from 4,700 hectares to approximately 5,100 hectares.
On March 19, 2024, the Company announced that it had received final exchange approval to close the amended Casa Berardi West option agreement.
Also on March 19, 2024, the Company announced it had closed a $540,700 non-brokered private placement. $444,500 was a Unit offering comprising one common share and one-half share purchase warrant priced at $0.02 per Unit. Each full warrant shall have a term of 24 months commencing on the Closing Date and entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.05 during the first year and $0.10 during the second year. In addition, the Company raised $96,200 in Flow-through funds priced at $0.02 per share. The Company paid finders' fees of $7,850 and 336,250 finders' warrants which have the same terms as the subscribers. A total of 27,035,000 shares were issued that are subject to a four-month hold, expiring July 2024.
Pursuant to the closing of the abovementioned private placement, the Company initiated the recommended work program defined in the amended NI 43-101 Technical Report filed on Sedar and available on the Company's website.
OVERVIEW
The Company operates in one industry segment, mineral exploration and development, within one geographic area: Canada.
Management monitors the results of its operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with operating profit or loss in the financial statements. However, the Company's financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are managed on a company basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 2025
LIQUIDITY
As at April 30, 2025, Centurion had a working capital deficiency of $1,162,439 which included a cash balance of $523.
The Company does not currently own or have an interest in any producing mineral properties and does not derive any revenues from operations. Historical exploration and administrative activities have been funded through equity financing and the Company expects that it will continue to be able to utilize this source of financing until the Company has cash flow from operations. There can be no assurance, however, that efforts will be successful. If such funds are not available or other sources of financing cannot be obtained, then operations will be curtailed to a level for which funding is available or can be obtained.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. The key to success in managing liquidity is the degree of certainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has operations that do not generate cash flow. The Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing twelve months and therefore must rely on securing additional funds from either equity financing or loan from shareholders or directors for cash consideration, and while the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past, there is no assurance that it will continue to generate sufficient funds for future operations.
Objectives when managing capital are to:
a) Provide an adequate return to shareholders;
b) Provide adequate and efficient funding for operations;
c) Continue the development of its business and support any expansion plans;
d) Allow flexibility to investment in other revenues; and
e) Maintain a capital structure, which optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable risk.
In the management of capital, all accounts are included in shareholders' deficiency. As at April 30, 2025, the Company had no bank indebtedness.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy during the nine-month period ended April 30, 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgment affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgement of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are:
Share-based payments
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires the determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This requires the estimation of inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the stock option, volatility, dividend yield, and forfeiture rate. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 8 of the unaudited financial statements.
Going concern
The Company's management has made an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Factors considered by management are disclosed in Note 1 of the unaudited financial statements.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
As of the date of this MD&A, the Company has 55,469,521 common shares issued and outstanding, 17,998,750 share purchase warrants, and 2,350,000 share options convertible into common shares. See note(s) 7, 8, and 12 in the Financial Statements for further details.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the nine-month period ended April 30, 2025, and have not been early adopted in preparing these financial statements. These new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
RISK MANAGEMENT, CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on the funds available to the Company in order to support future business opportunities. The Company defines its capital as shareholders' equity and short-term loans. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to manage its capital to be able to sustain the future development of the Company's business.
The Company currently has no source of self-sustaining revenues and therefore is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry future projects and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the nine-month period ended April 30, 2025. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
General Objectives, Policies and Processes:
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company's risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimately responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company's finance function.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and commodity price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign currency rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in certificates of deposit or interest-bearing accounts of major Canadian chartered banks. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its financial institutions.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices of Gypsum used for agricultural purposes. As a result, commodity price risk may affect the Company's ability to operate the Ana Sofia Agri-Gypsum Project profitably, completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. This may also affect the Company's liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 2025
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments, which are potentially subject to credit risk for the Company, consist primarily of cash. Cash is maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and is redeemable upon demand.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. The key to success in managing liquidity is the degree of certainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.
The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds by monitoring the maturity dates of existing trade and other accounts payable.
Maturity Risk
1) The Company has trade payables and accounts payable that are due on normal commercial terms, and as at April 30, 2025, the Company had short-term loans of $164,012 (July 31, 2024: $89,477) and long-term loans of $830,077 (July 31, 2024: $999,393).
2) Management of liquidity risk: Typically, management plans to have sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses and commitments in (1) and (2) for a period of 90 days. To achieve this objective, the Company prepares annual capital expenditure budgets, which are regularly monitored and updated as considered necessary. Further, the Company utilizes authorizations for expenditures on exploration projects to further manage expenditure.
The following table summarizes the maturities of the Company's financial liabilities as at April 30, 2025 based on the undiscounted contractual cash flows:
| Carrying Amount | Contractual Cash Flows | Less than 1 year | 1 – 3 years | 4 – 5 years | After 5 years | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts payable | $ 286,092 | $ 286,092 | $ 286,092 | $ - | $ - | $ - |
| Due to related parties, current | 612,930 | 612,930 | 612,930 | - | - | - |

- Long-term loan balance Includes $679,886 due to related parties as at April 30, 2025
Reliance on Key Personnel
The Company is dependent on a relatively small number of key people, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on its operations. The Company does not carry any key man insurance.
