COAST COPPER CORP.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of Coast Copper Corp. ("Coast Copper" or the "Corporation") is for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and covers information up to the date of this MD&A.

This MD&A is dated August 26, 2025.

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's unaudited condensed interim financial statements and the notes thereto for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards ("IAS") Board.

This MD&A may contain forward-looking statements that reflect Management's current expectations with regards to future events. By their nature, these statements involve risk and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Corporation's control. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements. The Corporation disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Additional information regarding the Corporation, including copies of the Corporation's continuous disclosure materials is available through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") website at www.sedarplus.ca or on the Corporation's website at www.coastcoppercorp.com.

NATURE OF BUSINESS

Coast Copper was incorporated on December 7, 2011 under the British Columbia ("BC") Business Corporations Act. Effective September 28, 2021, the Corporation changed its name from Roughrider Exploration Limited to Coast Copper Corp. The Corporation is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer under the symbol "COCO" and is a reporting issuer in BC, Alberta and Ontario. The principal business of the Corporation is the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties with a focus on exploring its mineral property portfolio, including the Empire Mine, Knob Hill Northwest ("NW") and Copper Kettle properties located on northern Vancouver Island, BC, and mineral properties in the Golden Triangle, Toodoggone, Huckleberry, Anyox, Babine and Sullivan districts of BC.

To date the Corporation has not generated any revenues.

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

Coast Copper is a growth stage copper ("Cu") and gold ("Au") exploration company, focused on creating value through a disciplined entrepreneurial approach to exploration in mining districts of western North America that have shown to produce top tier, 'company-making' assets, and yet remain under-explored. This strategy is designed to reduce investment risk and substantially increase its chances for long-term success.

Coast Copper is led by a management team with a track record of discovery and exploration success. Importantly, the team brings years of experience in BC, where the team has established long-term working relationships with First Nations and Native Corporations, as well as local communities and regional governments.

MINERAL PROPERTY PORTFOLIO (continued)

1) EMPIRE MINE PROPERTY (NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND, BC)

On September 22, 2020, the Corporation entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Empire Mine property ("Empire Option Agreement") from Mirva Properties Ltd. ("Mirva"). The Empire Mine property consists of 23 mineral claims (the "Greater Empire Claims") and 57 fee simple crown grants (the "Quatsino Crown Grants") covering approximately 15,000 hectares ("ha"), located in the Rupert District on northern Vancouver Island, BC, approximately 28 kilometers ("km") southwest of Port McNeill, BC.

The Corporation earned a 100% interest in the Greater Empire Claims by making aggregate cash payments of $750,000, issuing 3,000,000 common shares of the Corporation to Mirva, and completing work commitments totaling $2,000,000 over a four-year period ending in May 2024.

In order to earn a 100% interest in the Quatsino Crown Grants, the Corporation must pay Mirva the equivalent of $500,000 with either a cash payment or equivalent value in common shares of the Corporation, at the Corporation's election, on or before September 22, 2025. The Corporation has the option to extend the Quatsino Crown Grants payment date to September 22, 2026 for an additional payment of $35,000, to September 22, 2027 for a further additional payment of $55,000 and to September 22, 2028 for a further additional payment of $75,000.

As a result of staking additional claims subsequent to the completion of the Empire Option Agreement, the Empire Mine property totals approximately 17,187 ha, all of which form part of the Empire Option Agreement.

The Empire Mine property covers 28 known mineral occurrences, including three past-producing open pit mines (Merry Widow, Kingfisher Pit 1 and 2) and two past-producing underground mines (Benson Lake and Merry Widow/Kingfisher underground) for magnetite, Cu, Au and silver ("Ag").

On May 23, 2023, the Corporation announced the completion of a National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the Merry Widow open pit ("2023 MRE"). The inferred mineral resource estimates 81,322 ounces gold equivalent ("AuEq") grading 3.52 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au and 0.50% Cu (4.258 g/t AuEq) contained with 0.59 million metric tonnes (using a NSR cut-off of $30). The 2023 MRE was completed by Sue Bird, M.Sc., P.Eng. of Moose Mountain Technical Services. See the Corporation's website at www.coastcoppercorp.com for more information regarding the 2023 MRE.

Mirva will retain a 2% NSR royalty on the Empire Mine property, of which 1% may be purchased for $1,000,000 at any time up to 120 days after commencement of commercial production. The Empire Option Agreement has been structured such that this NSR royalty plus all other NSR royalties which may currently exist and be payable on the Empire Mine property will not exceed in aggregate 2.5% before buy-downs.

At June 30, 2025, the Empire Mine property had a carrying value of $1,010,749.

MINERAL PROPERTY PORTFOLIO (continued)

2) KNOB HILL NW PROPERTY (NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND, BC)

The Corporation owns a 100% interest in the Knob Hill NW property which is located on northern Vancouver Island, approximately 60 km northwest of the Empire Mine property. This property totals 7,769 ha and is located at the western end of a 50 km trend that originates at the past producing Island Copper mine and passes through Northisle's North Island project¹ and onto Coast Copper's property. Knob Hill NW sits at the north end of a 25 km band of volcanic and intrusives which host zones of alteration and mineralization; the Utah-Expo Belt. Since 1980, sulphide-rich siliceous alteration caps overlying these systems have been shown to contain gold adding a new dimension to exploration potential in the region.

At June 30, 2025, the Knob Hill NW property had a carrying value of $16,406.

3) COPPER KETTLE PROPERTY (NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND, BC)

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Corporation acquired, through staking as well as a purchase agreement with an arms-length party, certain mineral claims on northern Vancouver Island. The Copper Kettle property is located between the past-producing Island Copper mine¹ and Northisle's North Island project. The Copper Kettle property and the Knob Hill NW property bookend the Northisle North Island project¹.

At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of the Copper Kettle property was $9,981.

4) SCOTTIE WEST PROPERTY (NORTHERN BC)

The Corporation owns a 100% interest in approximately 10,173 ha of prospective ground on the Scottie West property located in the "Golden Triangle" area of BC, approximately 30 km northwest of Stewart, BC and immediately west of the Scottie Gold Mine property. These claims cover favourable geology, as mapped by the BC Geological Survey, including Jurassic Hazelton volcanic rocks, Jurassic Texas Creek Intrusions and Eocene aged intrusions that are also host to numerous mineral occurrences and past producing mines throughout the Stewart Camp, including Ascot Resources' Premier mine¹ and Scottie Resources' Scottie Gold mine¹.

Historical work in the immediate area of Coast Copper's Scottie West property focused principally on the past producing Scottie Gold gold-silver mine¹ to the east and on the Granduc base metals mine¹ to the north. Very little historical work appears to have been undertaken on Coast Copper's property primarily as a result of extensive glacial cover which has been rapidly retreating since the majority of the historical work was completed in the region during the late 1980's.

On November 20, 2020, the Corporation entered into a farm-out agreement with Ibero Mining Corp. ("Ibero"), formerly EuroPacific Metals Inc. whereby Ibero could earn a 70% interest in the Corporation's Scottie West property by making aggregate cash payments of $500,000, issuing common shares of Ibero to Coast Copper with a total value of $500,000 and incurring a minimum of $1,000,000 of exploration expenditures on the property over a four-year period.

2024 WORK PROGRAMS

Empire Mine, Knob Hill NW and Sully Properties

In June and July 2024, the Corporation completed small work programs on its Empire Mine, Knob Hill NW, Home Brew and Sully properties, consisting of rock, soil, silt, stream and moss matt samples. The aim was to identify new target areas for follow-up work.

On September 23, 2024, the Corporation announced results from 16 soil, 11 rock and 5 moss matt samples that were collected over the northwest section of the Empire Mine property. The assay results are consistent with the historical results in the Big Frank area and show the potential for district scale polymetallic mineralization at Empire. Additional follow-up work in this area is proposed.

On September 23, 2024, the Corporation announced results from 30 moss matt, 14 soil and 2 rock samples collected on its Knob Hill NW property. The results encountered have been very encouraging and consequently, the Corporation conducted a second phase program in early September to follow up on the positive results.

On September 23, 2024, the Corporation announced results from 11 rock, 22 stream and 27 soil and 2 moss matt samples collected on its Sully property. The results are very encouraging and highlight the potential for both Sullivan-style massive sulphide deposits and copper, gold and molybdenum porphyries. A follow-up second phase program was conducted in late September.

On December 10, 2024, the Corporation announced the results of the September second phase sampling program conducted on its Knob Hill NW property. The fall 2024 sampling results returned elevated copper-in-soils (copper values up to 1,031 parts per million) from the west central portions of the property and are associated with a 1.1 km by 3.6 km magnetic high.

For more details, please refer to the Corporation's September 23, 2024 and December 10, 2024 news releases on its website www.coastcoppercorp.com.

Sweeney Property

On October 7, 2024, the Corporation announced results from 47 rock and 34 soil samples collected from a 2 km² area on its recently acquired Sweeney property. Assay results indicate that the main Ag-Pb-Zn trend may now extend for over 1.5 km. The Corporation also reports identification of a new target area with high-grade Ag, Pb, Zn and Cu values in soil samples. For more details, please refer to the Corporation's October 7, 2024 news release on its website www.coastcoppercorp.com.

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS (continued)

The most significant expenses were salaries and personnel costs of $48,908 (2024: $53,839), exploration expenditures of $23,469 (2024: $47,147) and consulting fees of $21,167 (2024: $19,500). The most significant expenses contributing to the net loss of $3,549 in Q2, 2025 were salaries and personnel costs of $48,908, exploration expenditures of $23,469 and consulting fees of $21,167. These expenses were partially offset by other items including a realized gain on sale of marketable securities of $90,568 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities of $75,175. See Page 14 for more detailed explanations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation has in place a planning and budgeting process to determine the funds required to support the Corporation's operating requirements as well as its planned capital expenditures. The Corporation manages its financial resources to ensure that there is sufficient working capital to fund near term planned exploration work and operating expenditures. The Corporation has considerable discretion to reduce or increase plans or budgets depending on current or projected liquidity. When appropriate, the Corporation will seek joint venture partners in order to fund or share the funding of its exploration properties to minimize shareholder risk.

The Corporation does not currently own or have an interest in any producing mineral properties and does not derive any revenues from operations. To date, operational activities have primarily been funded through private placements. At June 30, 2025, the Corporation had working capital of $1,101,342 (December 31, 2024: $1,305,336).

While the Corporation has been successful in securing financing to date, there can be no assurances that it will be able to do so in the future. A material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern. The Corporation has no bank debt or banking credit facilities in place.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

As of the date of this report, there were no announced proposed transactions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that Management has made that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

i) Critical accounting estimates

Critical accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by Management that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and include, but are not limited to, the following:

Share-based payments

The fair value of share-based payments is subject to the limitations of the Black-Scholes option pricing model that incorporates market data and involves uncertainty in estimates used by Management in the assumptions. Because the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share prices, changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

FT share private placements

As an incentive to complete private placements, the Corporation may issue common shares, which by agreement are designated as FT shares. The shares are usually issued at a premium to the trading price of the Corporation's shares because the Corporation renounces the resulting expenditures and income tax benefits to the FT shareholders. On issue, share capital is increased only by the non-FT share equivalent value and share-based payments reserve is increased by the fair value of warrants, if any. Any excess is recorded as a FT share premium liability. The estimate is subject to the limitations of the highly subjective assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

COAST COPPER CORP.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

i) Critical accounting estimates (continued)

Marketable securities

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is estimated on the basis of the price established in recent transactions involving similar instruments or, in the absence thereof, determined using valuation techniques. The Corporation uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.

Measurement and recoverability of receivable from Skeena

The Corporation uses estimation in determining the incremental lending rate used to measure the Skeena receivable, specific to the asset, underlying currency and geographic location. Where the rate implicit in the receivable is not readily determinable, the discount rate is estimated using a discount rate similar to Skeena's specific borrowing rate. This rate represents the rate that Skeena would incur to obtain the funds necessary to purchase an asset of similar value, with similar payment terms and security in a similar environment.

ii) Critical accounting judgments

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

Recognition of deferred tax assets

The Corporation estimates the expected manner and timing of the realization or settlement of the carrying value of its assets and liabilities and applies the tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted on the estimated dates of realization or settlement.

Going concern assumption

The assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires Management to consider all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. The Corporation estimates that its working capital is insufficient to continue operations for the upcoming year.

Valuation of exploration and evaluation assets

The assessment of any impairment of plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that consider factors such as reserves, economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets. Judgment is required in assessing the appropriate level of cash generating units to be tested for such impairment, if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

ii) Critical accounting judgments (continued)

Decommissioning liabilities

In the event that decommissioning liabilities are required to be recognized, such liabilities would be stated at the fair value of estimated future costs. Such estimates require extensive judgment about the nature, cost and timing of the work to be completed, and may change with future changes to costs, environmental laws and regulations, and remediation practices.

Recoverability of receivables

The Corporation exercises judgement in identifying impaired receivables, the collection of which may be uncertain. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Corporation considers whether there is any observable data indicating that an increase in the credit risk or a decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a receivable has occurred, using an expected credit loss model. This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status and days outstanding.

A detailed summary of all of the Corporation's material accounting policies is included in Note 3 to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Corporation's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks which are discussed in detail in Note 9 of the Corporation's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Macroeconomic Risk

Impairments and write-downs of major mining projects have led to a significant reduction in "risk appetite" with respect to funding investment into exploration companies. As a result, the ability for exploration companies to access capital through private placements has been significantly diminished. The long-term result of lower risk appetite is that projects take longer to develop or may not be developed at all.

Page 22 of 25


COAST COPPER CORP.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

Political Policy Risk

Record-high gold prices in recent years has encouraged numerous governments around the world to look at ways to secure additional benefits from the mining industry across all commodity types, an approach recognized as "Resource Nationalism." Mechanisms used or proposed by governments have included increases to royalty rates, corporate tax rates, implementation of "windfall" or "super taxes," and carried or free-carried interests to the benefit of the state. Extreme cases in Venezuela and Argentina have resulted in the nationalization of active mining interests. Such changes are viewed negatively in the investment community and can lead to share price erosion, and difficulty in accessing capital to advance projects.

On September 23, 2023, the BC Supreme Court in Gitxaala vs. BC (Chief Gold Commissioner), 2023 BCSC 1680, ruled that the BC province must modernize the operation of the Mineral Tenure Act to allow for some consultation in advance of staking claims, but has provided the BC province with 18 months to do so in a manner that supports the minerals industry and Indigenous rights in BC. The judgment can be reviewed at the following link: Gitxaala v British Columbia (Chief Gold Commissioner), 2023 BCSC 1680 (CanLII). At this time, it is not possible for the Corporation to predict outcomes as a result of this judgment and its effects on the Corporation's business or results of operations.

Exploration Risk

All of the properties in which the Corporation has an interest are in the exploration stage and are currently without reserves. Development of these mineral properties will only follow upon obtaining satisfactory exploration results, receipt of positive engineering studies, access to adequate funding, community support and all necessary permits, licenses and approvals. Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling and to develop the mining and processing facilities and the infrastructure at any site chosen for mining.

The Corporation has not completed a feasibility study on any of its properties and there is no assurance that these mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial mineral deposits. The long-term profitability of the Corporation's operations will be in part directly related to the cost and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors beyond the Corporation's control.

Financial Capability and Additional Financing

The Corporation has limited financial resources, no source of operating income and no assurance that additional funding will be available to it. It is anticipated that further exploration and development of the projects will be financed in whole or in part by the issuance of additional securities by the Corporation. Although the Corporation has been successful in the recent past in financing its initial activities through the issuance of equity securities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain sufficient financing in the future to execute its business plan, particularly with ongoing uncertainty in the global financial markets, and the prevailing investment climate of risk aversion particularly in the resource sector.

COAST COPPER CORP.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

The Corporation has not commenced commercial mining operations and has no assets other than cash and cash equivalents, modest receivables and a small amount of prepaid expenses. The Corporation has no history of regular earnings and is not expected to generate earnings or pay dividends until the Corporation's exploration project is sold or taken into production.

Commodity Prices

The mineral industry is influenced by the price of metals. The prices of gold, uranium and other commodities have fluctuated widely in recent years and are affected by factors beyond the control of the Corporation including, but not limited to, international economic and political trends, currency exchange fluctuations, economic inflation and expectations for the level of economic inflation in the consuming economies, interest rates, global and local economic health and trends, speculative activities and changes in the supply of commodities due to significant (often sovereign or national) purchases and divestitures, new mine developments, mine closures as well as advances in various production and use technologies of commodities. All of these factors will impact the viability of the Corporation's exploration projects in ways that are impossible to predict with certainty.

Environment

The Corporation's activities involve the application for licenses and permits from government authorities and such activities are governed by various laws and regulations that cover the protection of the environment, land use, exploration, development, co-ordination of operations and infrastructure with third parties engaged in other activities on the lands, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, safety and other matters. Environmental legislation in Canada provides restrictions and prohibitions on spills and various substances produced in association with certain exploration activities which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of activities require the submission and approval of environmental impact statements. Environmental legislation is evolving in a direction

of higher standards and enforcement, and higher fines and penalties for non-compliance. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility and liability exposure for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of future operations. There is no assurance that future environmental regulations will not adversely affect the Corporation or its future operations.

Financial Instrument Risk

As a result of its use of financial instruments, the Corporation is subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, liquidity risk and other price risks. These risks are considered to be small. These risks are discussed comprehensively in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
