COLOSSUS RESOURCES CORP.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the six month period ended November 30, 2024
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), prepared January 30, 2025 should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2024 of Colossus Resources Corp. (“Colossus” or the “Company”) which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
This MD&A may contain forward-looking information (as such term is defined under applicable securities laws) in respect of various matters including upcoming events. The results or events predicted in this forward-looking information may differ materially from the actual results or events. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Colossus was formed on September 9, 2020 under the laws of British Columbia. The address of the Company’s corporate office and its principal place of business is 318 – 1199 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Company’s principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral property assets. As at November 30, 2024, the Company holds an interest in early stage mineral exploration properties and the Company had not yet determined whether the Company’s mineral property assets contain a deposit of minerals that is economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of and the future profitable production from the properties or realizing proceeds from its disposition. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and the uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company had a deficit of $1,818,495 as at November 30, 2024, which has been funded by the issuance of equity. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. The financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the financial statements.

Master Copper Project
On December 14, 2020, and as amended on March 26, 2021 and November 3, 2021, the Company entered into a Mineral Property Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Perry English and Gravel Ridge Resources Ltd. (collectively the "Optionor"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has an option to acquire 100% interest in the mineral claims known as Master Copper Project located in the Sault Ste. Marie Mining Division of Ontario (the "Claims") from the Optionor.
The Claims are subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (the "NSR Royalty").
Under the Agreement, the Company is required to make cash payments totaling $78,200 as follows:
a. make a cash payment of $12,200 upon execution and delivery of this agreement – paid;
b. make a further cash payment of $16,000 on or before December 14, 2021 – paid;
c. make a further cash payment of $20,000 on or before December 14, 2022 – paid; and

On November 3, 2021, the Agreement was amended with Solstice Gold Corp. being the successor in interest to Perry English and Gravel Ridge Resources Ltd., as the new Optionor. The remaining cash payments owing under the Agreement remained the same.
On March 17, 2021, the Company entered into a Mineral Property Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with Yvon Gagne and Michael Gagne (collectively the "Optionor") to acquire additional claims adjacent to the Master Copper Project located in the Sault Ste. Marie Mining Division of Ontario (the "Claims") from the Optionor.
The Claims are subject to a 1.0% net smelter returns royalty (the "NSR Royalty") to be paid by the Company upon commercial production of mineral products.
Under the Agreement, the Company made cash payments totaling $15,000 to acquire the additional claims.
The Company has the right to purchase 90% of the NSR Royalty (reducing the NSR to 0.1%) for $250,000.
Subsequent to the year ended May 31, 2024, the Company issued a termination letter to the Optionor to
terminate the Agreement, as it no longer intended to continue exploration and evaluation work on the Master Copper Project. Consequently, the Company recorded an impairment of $606,416 as of May 31, 2024.
Calvario and Mirador Project
Pursuant to a letter of intent on April 4, 2023, the Company entered into an option agreement (the "Agreement") with Minera Mena Chile Ltda, Revelo Resources Corp., and Austral Gold Limited (collectively, the "Austral Group") on November 15, 2023, granting the Company the right to earn a 100% interest (the "Option") in the Calvario and Mirador project (the "Project"), excluding royalty options. To exercise this Option, the Company must complete financing of at least USD $1,500,000 within ninety days of the Agreement and incur USD $2,500,000 in exploration expenditures during the option period.
The Option will begin on the closing date of the financing (the "Effective Date") and will end upon the earliest of the following: (a) two years after the Effective Date, unless extended due to a force majeure event, (b) when the Option is exercised or (c) if the Agreement is terminated according to its terms. In addition, the Company will issue common shares equal to 19.99% of its post-financing capital and 1,000,000 share purchase warrants to Minera Mena Chile Ltda, with restrictions on share sales and warrant exercises to maintain the Austral Group's interest below 19.99%. If the Company completes a pre-feasibility study compliant with National Instrument 43-101, it will issue an additional 2,000,000 common shares to Minera Mena, subject to similar shareholder approval requirements to avoid exceeding the 19.99% ownership threshold.
Subsequent to the year ended May 31, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the "Amended Agreement") with the Austral Group. Under the Amended Agreement, the deadline for completing the required financing of at least USD $1,500,000 has been extended to fourteen months from the date of the Agreement.
As of May 31, 2024, the Company has paid a total deposit of $139,688, in relation to the Agreement.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Refer to the annual financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2024 for critical accounting estimates.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
International Financial Reporting Standard 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates its fair value due to the relatively short period of maturity of the instrument.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s statements of financial position as at November 30, 2024 are as follows:
| Fair Value Measurements Using | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quoted Prices in Active Markets For Identical Instruments (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | Total | |
| $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Cash | 1,995 | – | – | 1,995 |
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s financial instruments comprise cash and accounts payable. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how these risks are mitigated are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of cash. To minimize the credit risk the Company places its cash with a high quality financial institution.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. In the management of liquidity risk, the Company aims to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company’s corporate office is based in Canada and current exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is minimal.
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. The Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on the variable rate of interest earned on bank deposits.
The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.
Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer or by factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to material other price risk at November 30, 2024.
