Copper Quest Exploration Inc. (formerly Interra Copper Corp.)

Management's Discussion and Analysis

For the three months ended March 31, 2025

The Company's principal objective is to explore and develop its properties and to identify other properties worthy of investment and exploration.

The Company has not yet determined whether its property interests contain mineral resources or reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for resource properties and related deferred exploration expenditures are 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 necessary financing to complete the development of the resource properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to develop a viable business and to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs by the issuance of common shares. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on its statement of financial position.

YEAR-TO-DATE CORPORATE HIGHLIGHTS

• Completed the acquisition of 100% right, title, and interest in the Stars Property, an early-stage porphyry copper-molybdenum discovery, in central British Columbia.
• Completed Phase One drilling program at the Rip Project which confirmed that largely covered geophysical targets define a Cu-Mo mineralized porphyry system.
• The Company changed its name from Interra Copper Corp. to Copper Quest Exploration Inc.

MINERAL PROPERTIES

The Company is currently focused on its projects located in British Columbia, Canada: the Rip Project, the Thane Project, the Stellar Project and the Stars Copper Project.

Rip Project

On September 19, 2023, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") with ArcWest Exploration Inc. ("ArcWest") to earn up to an 80% ownership interest in the Rip Project, a copper-molybdenum project located in central British Columbia.

An option agreement (the "Rip Option Agreement") was entered on November 27, 2023 (the "Rip Execution Date") between the Company and ArcWest.

Under the terms of the Rip Option Agreement, the Company has a two-stage option to earn up to an 80% ownership interest in the Rip Project.

During the first stage (the "First Tier Earn-In"), the Company may earn up to a 60% ownership interest in the Rip Project by:

• Incurring exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 (the "First Tier Earn-in Expenditures") as follows:

	First Tier Earn-in Expenditures ($)
By December 31, 2024	300,000 (1)(2)
By December 31, 2025	500,000 (2)
By December 31, 2026	500,000
By December 31, 2027	700,000

Copper Quest Exploration Inc. (formerly Interra Copper Corp.)

Management's Discussion and Analysis

For the three months ended March 31, 2025

(1) A minimum of $25,000 was incurred by December 31, 2023, and $275,000 was incurred by December 31, 2024.
(2) These are the mandatory expenditure per the Rip Option Agreement.

• Making a total cash payment of $100,000 and issue 1,050,000 common shares of the Company (collectively the "First Tier Payments") as follows:

	Cash ($)		Common Shares (#)
Within 5 business days of the Rip Execution Date	-		200,000 (issued with fair value of $55,000)
By December 31, 2024	25,000	(1)	125,000 (issued with fair value of $10,625)
By December 31, 2025	25,000		175,000 (issued with fair value of $14,875)
By December 31, 2026	25,000		250,000
By December 31, 2027	25,000		300,000

(1) This is the mandatory payment per the Rip Option Agreement (paid).

During the First Tier Earn-In period, ArcWest will be the operator of the Rip Project, and the Company is responsible for paying ArcWest 7.5% of the exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred as the operator's fee.

During the second stage (the "Second Tier Earn-In"), the Company may acquire an additional 20% ownership interest in the Rip Project by:

• Completing and delivering a feasibility study to ArcWest on or before December 31, 2031; and
• Making the following annual payment of $250,000 (the "Second Tier Cash Payments") to ArcWest:

	$
On or before December 31, 2028	250,000
On or before December 31, 2029	250,000
On or before December 31, 2030	250,000
On or before December 31, 2031	250,000

The Company may extend the Second Tier Earn-In period for three years by:

• Incurring at least $2,000,000 in exploration expenditures per extension year; and
• Paying an additional $100,000 per extension year to ArcWest, in addition to the $250,000 annual fee required.

Outlook

In April 2024, the Company provided the details of the first phase exploration program at the Rip Project. The initial program was staged into 2 work phases comprising geophysics and drilling. A geophysical program comprised of airborne magnetics followed by a ground-based 3D Induced Polarization survey to define drill targets, commenced in late April. The Phase One drilling program has confirmed that largely covered geophysical targets define a Cu-Mo mineralized porphyry system.

Thane Project

The Thane Project comprises 50,904 acres (206 sq. kilometres) of contiguous claims located in the Quesnel Terrane of north-central British Columbia. The northern part of the Quesnel Terrane extends from south of the Mt. Milligan Mine northward to the Kemess Mine, with the Thane Project located midway between these two copper-gold porphyry deposits. This property includes several highly prospective mineralized areas identified to date, including the "Cathedral Area" and "Gail Area", on which the Company's exploration has been previously focussed on.

The Company has reclamation deposits of $25,000 (December 31, 2024 - $25,000) as collateral on the Thane Project.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025

Historical Exploration

On July 5, 2021, the Company mobilized crews to the Thane Property to commence geological mapping and geochemical sampling in addition to drill pad construction in preparation for a helicopter-supported diamond drill program. On July 19, 2021, Atlas Drilling Ltd. mobilized to the Thane Property and commenced drilling on July 20, 2021. A total of 2,783.24 metres of NQ core was drilled in twelve holes from nine drill pads with the last hole completed on August 21, 2021.

Geological mapping and geochemical sampling (rock and soil) was undertaken at the Pinnacle and Gail target areas. In preparation for induced polarization (IP) surveys, sampling was undertaken at the Mat showing.

On September 3, 2021, Peter E. Walcott & Associates Ltd. ("Walcott") mobilized to the property for seven days of IP pole-dipole surveying at the Pinnacle and Gail showings. Approximately 5 line-km of grid was surveyed using an a-spacing of 25 metres. Earlier in the summer, Walcott completed an 8.3 km² helicopter airborne magnetic survey at the Cathedral Area with a line-spacing of 100 metres.

All core, rock and soil samples were submitted to ALS Canada Ltd. for sample preparation and analysis. A total of 2,398 core samples were analyzed for multi-element ICP by a four-acid digestion with a MS finish, while multi-element ICP by aqua regia digestion with a MS finish was undertaken on the 182 soil samples and 73 rock samples. All samples were analyzed for gold by geochemistry methods and all over-limits were assayed. Sample preparation was undertaken at ALS's preparation facility in Kamloops, BC with analytical work undertaken at ALS' North Vancouver location.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company negotiated the First Nation Agreement with Tsay Keh Dene First Nation that supports further exploration, site activities and cooperation at Thane, through 2024.

Exploration for 2024 included continued analysis of the extensive data set, remote sensing analysis and geological follow-up. Accretive Metals Advisory Services and ALS Goldspot used machine learning analysis to better define the current target areas and to identify new anomalous areas. The Company purchased high resolution satellite imagery and topographic data and acquired additional multispectral imagery data to support planned target development. Accretive Metals Advisory Services and Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. followed up with prospecting over identified targets in September 2024.

Stars Copper Project

On October 7, 2024, the Company entered into a mineral claims purchase agreement with Aurwest Resources Corporation ("Aurwest") to acquire a 100% right, title, and interest in the Stars Property, an early-stage porphyry copper-molybdenum discovery, in central British Columbia. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company will make a cash payment of $250,000 ($25,000 paid), issue 10,000,000 common shares of the Company (issued with a fair value of $750,000) and issue 2,500,000 warrants (issued with fair value of $94,650, exercisable at $0.15 per share for a period of 24 months). There is a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") to an underlying third parties and the Company will have the right to repurchase at any time one percent of the NSR for consideration of $2,000,000.

For accounting purposes, the Company estimated the grant date fair value of warrants issued related to the acquisition of Stars Copper Project using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming a risk-free interest rate of 2.91%, an expected life of 2 years, an expected volatility of 126% and an expected dividend yield of 0%.

Stellar Project

On December 10, 2024, the Company has entered into a mineral claims purchase agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Stellar Project comprising 22 mineral tenures covering 5,388.66 ha within the Omineca Mining district of northern British Columbia.

Copper Quest Exploration Inc. (formerly Interra Copper Corp.)

Management's Discussion and Analysis

For the three months ended March 31, 2025

The fluctuation in operating expenses and corporate costs is attributable to variations in various expense items, such consulting fees, management and directors' fees, marketing expenses, professional fees, shareholder information and investor relations and transfer agent, regulatory and filing fees, which occur due to the administrative, exploration and fundraising activities occurring during a particular period and to the availability of funds in those periods to pay for those activities. There is no seasonality to these variations, nor are they indicative of any trend.

All the Company's resource properties are in the exploration stage. The Company has not had revenue from inception and does not expect to have revenue in the near future. The Company's operating results are not seasonal in nature and have been mainly due to the amount of exploration activities in each quarter.

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized exploration and acquisition expenditures on the Mineral Properties of $7,865,233. The Company also recognized an impairment of value-added tax receivable of $106,906 during the three months ended December 31, 2023 (all other quarters - $nil).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $679,229 representing an increase of $136,599 compared to $542,630 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was mainly due to an increase in exploration and acquisition expenditures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital and cashflow

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $83,337 (December 31, 2024 - working capital of $91,662), which included cash of $51,743 (December 31, 2024 - $221,929).

The Company's financial condition is contingent upon its ability to obtain necessary financing to explore suitable properties.

Although the Company has been successful in the past in financing its activities through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain sufficient financing in the future to carry out exploration and development work on any acquired properties. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions and exploration success.

Operating activities

Cash used in operating activities consists primarily of cash spent on administrative overhead costs to support exploration and evaluation activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company used $170,115 of cash in operating activities.

Investing activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company used $nil of cash in investing activities.

Financing activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received $nil of cash from financing activities.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Certain IFRS pronouncements that are mandatory for accounting years beginning on or after January 1, 2024 have been issued. The Company concludes that the effect of such amendments did not have a material impact and therefore did not record any adjustments to the financial statements.

COMMITMENTS

The Company does not have any significant commitments except for the mineral property commitments noted above under Mineral Properties.

CONTINGENCIES

The Company's exploration activities are subject to various federal, provincial and international laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect public health and the environment and believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various claims, legal proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceedings related to any matter, or any amount which it may be required to pay damages in any form by reason thereof, will have a material effect on the financial condition or future results of operations of the Company.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company is inherently exposed to certain financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, through the use of financial instruments. The timeframe and manner in which the Company manages these risks varies based upon management's assessment of the risk and available alternatives for mitigating the risk. The Company does not acquire or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All transactions undertaken are to support the Company's operations. These financial risks and the Company's exposure to these risks are provided in various tables in Note 9 of our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For a discussion on the significant assumptions made in determining the fair value of financial instruments, refer also to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
